How do you put "God's all knowing" together with men with free will, are they conflicting each others or total separate things?

That is:
The word of God, the Bible, is called the “sword of the Spirit” in Ephesians 6:17.

So, to rephrase the question:
Do you like to discuss the Bible with other Christians – and even debate about doctrine and theology, bringing all the Bible verses to the discussion that support your view, and then to read, meditate on, and consider all the Bible verses that another person brings to the discussion that seem to oppose your view?

Isn’t fencing a “sport” that will help you in true battle?
Shouldn’t we practice wielding our sword?

-
In my relatively short Christian walk, I have found that *many* - if not *most* - Christians do not like to “fence” like this. Some even claim that it causes division. But, does it?

I often find myself questioning their salvation. Perhaps they are afraid...and want to just “blindly believe” what they have been taught...and don’t want to be challenged or changed! Is this the mark of a true Christian? Certainly not!

If Jesus is your love, then why don’t you want to get to know Him more? And how can we get to know Him more without contemplating His word, the Bible – the revelation of who He is? And if our thinking about Him is wrong, don’t we want to be corrected?

Are the people who don’t like to fence the very ones that need to fence the most?

Why do so few Christians like to “fence” with the “sword of the Spirit”?

A lawyer defending a man accused of burglary tried this creative defence:

"My client merely inserted his arm into the window and removed a few trifling articles. His arm is not himself, and I fail to see how you can punish the whole individual for an offense committed by his limb." "Well put," the judge replied. "Using your logic, I sentence the defendant's arm to one year's imprisonment. He can accompany it or not, as he chooses."


The defendant smiled.
With his lawyer's assistance he detached his artificial limb, laid it on the bench, and walked out.

This is a serious, honest problem for me. To me, there are so many problems with strict, godless evolution. For instance, how could the human eye have developed by chance? On the other hand, if there exists a God or creator, life seems like a cruel hoax. We are supposed to love, or at least respect Him, even though all mankind suffers so much and then has to die. What kind of Creator would inflict so much sorrow on his creatures? I just can't seem to accept either Evolution or Creation by some kind of God. Is there a middle ground? Does it have to be either one or the other? Is there another explanation that would make more sense? Please help me!

If u look at history or even current news ,u always find that the most courageous and daring acts (not from positive or negative point of view) like blowing self up ,or facing the foreign armies..etc
is derived by religious believes.
Why?

Well, that cannot be denied but what good's a man's world without a woman by his side? A king ain't a king without the power behind the throne a prince is a pauper without a chick to call his own.

Lancelot had Guinevere, Mrs. Claus has old St. Nick, Romeo had Juliet, and Liz, well, she has her dick...

People say "It's a man's world" like it's a bad thing...but isn't it true that behind every great man, there is a greater woman supporting him?

If you are not a Jehovah Witness, dont bother to answer.

If you are, and especially if your children WERE used to having Christmas before, but now you are a Jehovah Witness, who believe Christmas is a pagan holiday, how do you explain that to your children? I want my kids to understand WHY we are no longer celebrating Christmas at my house (though they will be celebrating it at thier dad's - we are separated), yet dont know really the best way to say it. My daughter "knows" (I think) that Santa, along with Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, are all fake, but I am not 100% sure of that....... I don tknow how to explain all this to them.......how did you do it? What did you say? What kind of questions were brought up from your children, how did you answer?
FYI: Children are 3-Boy, and 9-Girl

I was watching House last night (pretty much a first for me) and I noticed that he mentioned that the female love-interest (I assume) was a "naive atheist."

What other ways are atheists portrayed in film?

Christ’s Church is Catholic. Did you know that "Catholic" comes from a compound of two Greek words: “kato” = according to, and “holos” = the one? Christ’s Church is for all, and all are one: the Body of Christ. It is like speaking the name “Jesus”: Christ’s name was Yeshua, not Jesus. But we say Jesus because it came to us through the Greek language, which is what the New Testament was written in. The same goes for the word “catholic”.

I just think it's kind of funny that some Christians think their ill-founded pity is better than righteous hatred.

did you learn that it is better not to lie from the bible telling you lying is a sin or from the story boy who cried wolf? why?

the point of my question is we can all be told not to do something. but unless we can find some moral associated with why we shouldn't do it, there's really no reason not to do it.
