10-30-01 is this thing on? Interesting concept, neh? It appears that anyone who isn't already a video game character is actually another person from the "outside"... Leaves room for some interesting developments. More to come. And Thursday will feature a special Halloween edition! I got out my voice recorder again this week, and it has really helped me focus my thoughts. Especially where my rants are concerned. I often decide what I want to rant about, but forget it later and end up ranting about something completely different or making a news post. Oh, speaking of news posts - since I get my cable connection Wednesday, I plan to get the backlog and new Reset images done this week. That'll be the last major update for a while, as I need to focus on my novel(s). And now for the aforementioned rant: I was thinking about Adam and Eve recently, especially just before they were tempted by the serpent. I wasn't considering these events lightly, but in light of God's point of view on the issue. God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. That is given. Also, God is omnipotent, knowing everything. Everything that is and everything that will be. So, as the serpent snuck into the garden, what was he thinking? He stood back and let it happen... I have a few branches and proofs for other arguments from this point, but let's stick with this one: is it possible to do something that has bad results through good intentions when you know what the results are going to be? Whew. That's quite a thought, isn't it? All I can do here is conjecture. Perhaps (showing my arrogance here) God sees the future as I do: all the possibilities are laid out before him, and he can see which are the most likely to occur, and acting on those assumptions. That is the only way I can reconcile the ideas of free will and predestination. He can act on what he thinks we will do, but since we have free will, we can do as we wish. My tape goes from here into much deeper thoughts that I'd rather not get into just yet. Just a side note: it doesn't say how many days elapsed between the seventh day (on which God rested) and when the serpent entered the garden, let alone how long he worked to convince Eve. She seemed rather confused when the Bible picks up the conversation. I don't think Eve was an idiot, as the account seems to present her. I think she and Adam were two of the most intelligent beings ever. But, they had the disadvantage of the lack of knowledge of good and evil, which may not have been such a bad thing, neh? Another side note: when I speak of seeing the future, that's when I am considering the future logically, and has nothing to do with my prophecy, in which it is an either/or deal: one event will either occur or not occur based on my actions of the next few moments. I won't go further into prophecy at the moment, as that's a rather... strange... subject for me. I wonder whether thinking along these lines is doing me any good at all... and I wonder from where the thoughts emanate... *shrug* Who knows? I went and saw K-PAX yesterday, and it made me think. I can give little higher praise to a movie. I recommend the intelligent among you see it. How's that ~TDC, who is content, for the moment, to
sit and do nothing |
