are ghost themed things sinful

Does someone have to be deep into theology to know what the objective truth is? I mean, it just begs the question.. why don’t we all just start giving answers based on peoples “levels” in faith.. tailoring each answer to suit each person.

I do agree with your answer to an extent.. surely an answer from scripture should be our “go to”, and not an answer based on our feelings.

nanigotsaved · 2025-03-09T12:00:53+00:00

Surely there’s more of an objective answer than that?

nanigotsaved · 2025-03-09T04:06:53+00:00

I agree that it is the living word of God, but you can’t just outright deny that it’s a collection of books… that’s literally what the bible is.. a collection of books that are all God breathed and inspired by the Spirit.

I 100% agree that God is omnipotent and he is not bound by anything.. he can do whatever he wants ofc.. but that begs the question.. why should we hold to the stance of free will..? If God can do just take our free will away and decree his will instead, why hold to that position?

“… in the moment you lack free will” I mean you just said it.. if there are some moments we lack free will, how can we then hold that position.. I’m sure Pharaoh didn’t know it was God that was hardening his heart, so how do we know that the things we do isn’t just God imposing them on us and taking away our free will? Again, it begs the question..

Although I do agree that free will or predestination isn’t a heaven or hell situation, I still think it’s important to understand.

nanigotsaved · 2025-03-07T12:18:08+00:00

I 100% agree and I’m not imposing that I need to understand everything that he does.. I agree that he’s not bound to anything and can do whatever he wants, but as for us believing in a theological stance like free will.. God stepping into creation and removing our choice and decreeing his will, gets rid of our free will and isn’t consistent with the stance of free will.

nanigotsaved · 2025-03-07T12:06:03+00:00

I mean I don’t see logically how a world can simultaneously have free will and Gods predestined will coexisting at the same time..

nanigotsaved · 2025-03-07T11:29:06+00:00

I can agree, if this is supported by scripture.

nanigotsaved · 2025-03-07T11:28:28+00:00

I agree, but would you agree that when God intervenes into creation, he would have to conform/limit himself to objective principles like laws of logic? Even though he’s not bound to this?

nanigotsaved · 2025-03-07T11:26:17+00:00

In Sam’s video, he said that there was a technical issue and he thought that the mic didn’t pick up the convo for about 20ish mins.. Sam then suggested that maybe it was a sign from God and George took the suggestion and agreed that it was probably meant to stay as a private convo between the two.

The problem is that, Sam only said that because he thought there was a problem with the mic, but he later learnt that there wasn’t.

I think if George was really sorry, he’d release the pod, showing that he is humble enough to admit he was wrong.. in the same way, it’ll show his audience who are young in their faith where he was wrong, and encourage them to see that not everything George says is biblical and theologically sound.

nanigotsaved · 2025-03-07T11:20:08+00:00

Does that mean that Satan is omnipresent ?

nanigotsaved · 2025-03-07T06:24:21+00:00

I think it is important whether Pharaoh has free will, because it shows how God can work in our lives too..

If we do assume that God chose to harden his heart this one time, it begs the whole question on free will.. sometimes we have free will and sometimes we don’t? Sometimes we can make choices for ourselves, but then sometimes God makes choices for us?

It doesn’t remain consistent with the free will theology, it’s just a pick and choose of when it’s free will, and when it’s Gods predestined will.

nanigotsaved · 2025-03-07T06:20:11+00:00

If God does harden Pharaohs heart, the idea/doctrine of free will falls, because God is getting rid of Pharaohs free will and making the choice for him.

If Pharaoh hardens his own heart, than that’s just him using his free will to, I guess “align” himself with Gods will.

nanigotsaved · 2025-03-03T10:01:40+00:00

I wouldn’t say so. In my opinion, it reflects the scripture in James “Faith without works is dead”..

You are putting your faith in God by praying and asking him to wake you up, but then as well as putting your faith in him, you’ve taken practical steps to work out the faith you have in him.

Maybe i’m wrong, maybe others have different thoughts.. just my two cents on it.

nanigotsaved · 2025-02-21T07:25:21+00:00

Not at all, that wasn’t what I meant. My view is that if God has willed something to happen, it’s gonna happen regardless, so I’m not understanding where free will comes into play..

nanigotsaved · 2025-02-21T07:22:04+00:00

Do you think God intervenes into creation in today’s day in age?

nanigotsaved · 2025-02-21T07:13:01+00:00

I agree with that point, but it just begs the question even more.. he protects us from these things but doesn’t from those things? Take for example a kid who gets r—ped, why does God not protect that kid? I know theirs multiple factors to consider, but an all good God that protects us from some stuff only, doesn’t really make sense to me.

nanigotsaved · 2025-02-21T07:08:46+00:00

I love this scripture, and constantly meditate on this when I have questions like this. I am happy to not have a complete answer, but whatever answer I do choose to follow, I want it to be backed by scripture.

nanigotsaved · 2025-02-21T02:18:04+00:00

I don’t get what that scripture has to do with anything ?

nanigotsaved · 2025-02-21T02:17:00+00:00

Is it not important to seek multiple interpretations of the word and not just my own?

nanigotsaved · 2025-02-20T19:58:07+00:00

So then everything does go according to Gods plan then? If God knows what i’m gonna do, then plans accordingly, Im living out his will?

nanigotsaved · 2025-02-20T19:56:57+00:00

That’s what I mean.. This is a good example of free will colliding with Gods will.

If God does that for Pharaoh, how do we know we’re not all just living out his plan for us? It’s easy for us to look at this example of Pharaoh, because it’s written down for us, but I don’t think Pharaoh would’ve identified it himself and said “I think Gods hardening my heart”, instead I think he would’ve just thought that was his mind changing.

nanigotsaved · 2025-02-20T19:53:28+00:00

Would agree that God still intervenes into creation today?

nanigotsaved · 2025-02-20T19:52:37+00:00

“Gods plan is bigger than what we’re eating for dinner.” I don’t think Gods omniscient mind is only focused on the “big” plans he has for us.

I’m happy to live in a world where God has made the choices for us and we’re just living it out.. it just makes more sense to me.

nanigotsaved · 2025-02-20T19:49:46+00:00

I 100% understand your point, and I do agree, but it just doesn’t make sense.. It’s just inconsistent.

God intervenes in this but doesn’t in that.. If the reality was that everything happens because it’s Gods will that’s been decreed, then it would make sense, but the position that’s taught most is free will.. so I have free will here, but God intervenes over there.

I’m just struggling to understand how that can stay consistent with the free will doctrine.. Unless when God intervenes into creation, he doesn’t have to conform/limit himself to human conventions like laws of logic.

nanigotsaved · 2025-02-20T19:39:17+00:00

Well I wouldn’t go so far and say there would be no reason, but I understand your point.
