> [@JRDelirious](#): > > You’re fighting the hypothetical, **LHOD** – the charlatans can do no better AND the established pattern for “gods” IS to be opaque and most often get a-posteriori interpretation to make the prophecy look right. I don’t think I’m fighting the hypothetical at all. We’ve got two groups: a) charlatans b) omniscient gods We’ve got two types of prophecies: 1. Prophecies that even charlatans can make 2. Prophecies that only omniscient entities could make If I see the second kind of prophecy, I can safely conclude that the prophecy is made (or initiated) by an omniscient god. If I see the first, I can’t. When I ask **Mr. Quatro** why a god would make that first type of prophecy, he answers: > [@Mr Quatro](#): > > why He does what He does is not available for explanation. Which is of course true. We then have three choices: a) Try to figure out those motives with our best reasoning skills. b) Treat God entirely as opaque c) Come up with some arbitrary description of God with no rational basis. If we do the first, at best we conclude that “God” is a charlatan, and at worst is a fictional creation all of whose prophecies are actually the words of intentional or unintentional charlatans. If we do the second, we must conclude **nothing** about God. God, according to this path, isn’t necessarily omniscient, omnipotent, benevolent, sane, or even (still?) existent in this universe. If we do the third, we end up saying things like, “God told me this! I don’t know why God is acting like a charlatan, because I’m not supposed to ask, because God told me not to ask, but I sure bet the reasons are great, because God claims to be great, and why wouldn’t I believe a claim from such a great source?” I don’t really find this last choice very compelling :). ---

We then have three choices: > > a: Try to figure out those motives with our best reasoning skills. I had to edit your post to answer your post … I left choice ‘a’ of your three part question. The Lord wants us to think about it … if the message I gave had all of the answers then we would just wait and see, but it doesn’t have all of the answers does it. You have to know that God is different with everyone, same Holy Spirit, same Word of God, same human body, same working parts. Yet we are all different. Different DNA, different finger prints and even foot prints, by the way did you get a foot print when you were born? I have no idea why my mother saved a foot print of me when I was a baby, but she did. We humans even have different tongues did you know that. No tongue is the same and no my mother didn’t save my tongue print lol. What I am trying to get at is that we all think different yet we all have a brain. I hope you find your answer of why God is the way He is … as a servant of God I don’t ask. I have been mad at God early on and said things in anger like, “Your word does come back to you void” Know what God did? He laughed at me and I cried and I had to repent. His Word does not come back to Him void. The Lord said not to give you scriptures, but I can’t resist sometimes: **Isaiah 55:10-11King James Version (KJV)** > [@](#): > > 10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: > > 11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. as you have stated, “I don’t think I’m fighting the hypothetical at all” What you really saying is that you want to understand the Father God and His son Jesus. I also want to understand the Trinity that shapes our souls. Here’s a seed thought from me without adding to prophecy:[https://thinkprogress.org/what-you-need-to-know-about-tim-kaine-hillary-clintons-vice-president-pick-832de5b910a0#.9kwsokhi2](https://thinkprogress.org/what-you-need-to-know-about-tim-kaine-hillary-clintons-vice-president-pick-832de5b910a0#.9kwsokhi2) > [@](#): > > Elected to the United States Senate in 2012, Kaine previously served as mayor of Richmond from 1998–2001, lieutenant governor of Virginia from 2002–2005, governor of Virginia from 2006–2010, and chair of the Democratic National Committee from 2009 to 2011. > > Kaine has a solid record on many core Democratic issues. He supports President Obama’s Affordable Care Act and has long been opposed to the use of the death penalty. Kaine is a strong supporter of comprehensive immigration reform, favoring a pathway to citizenship for immigrants. As governor, he pushed to offer universal pre-kindargarten and also signed a bill to ban smoking in Virginia bars and restaurants. > > Additionally, Kaine has spoken out strongly about the need to address global climate change. In 2012, he said “humans have a responsibility to do something” about climate change. He has a lifetime score of 91 percent from the League of Conservation Voters, opposed the Keystone XL pipeline and protected 400,000 acres of land from being developed when he was governor of Virginia. > > However, Kaine’s climate record does come with a couple caveats. He has supported offshore drilling in the Atlantic Ocean and also supported a measure that fast-tracked the building of natural gas terminals. > Kaine has a strong pro-gun control record. While running for the Senate in 2012, he received an “F” from the National Rifle Association. As a governor, he vetoed a bill that would have allowed the carrying of guns in vehicles and has introduced gun control bills in the Senate. > > Widely seen as a safe pick, Kaine is well-liked by his Senate colleagues ---

> [@Mr\_Quatro](#): > > as you have stated, “I don’t think I’m fighting the hypothetical at all” > > What you really saying is that you want to understand the Father God and His son Jesus. I also want to understand the Trinity that shapes our souls. No, that’s not at all what I’m saying. I have no special desire to understand the Trinity any more than I have a desire to understand Artemis or Yog Sothoth or Panyoquyasi the Goddess of Small Rainbows whom I heard someone speak briefly of when I was eighteen. Look, a friend recently posted a Facebook meme of Charlie’s Angels and challenged folks to think of a more iconic trio. I posted a photo of an icon of the Trinity and wrote “I win.” That’s about the extent of my actual interest in the Trinity: as the basis for silly wordplay. What I’m interested in–and what you’re apparently not interested in–is why God speaks to you in con-artist-style prophecies. BUT HERE’S THE SECRET: I THINK I KNOW WHY. You ready? Here goes: God speaks to you this way **because there is no God speaking to you at all**. Instead, you’ve got a tremendous desire to believe that you receive prophecies from God. So part of your mind makes up these prophecies, and does it in such a way that you can later look back and claim accuracy. I absolutely don’t think you’re doing it on purpose. I don’t think you’re a charlatan. But I do think that these prophecies are originating in your head, not in some supernatural fashion. The fact is, they’re **indistinguishable** from the prophecies that would appear in the way I’ve described. And you’ve offered zero reason why a supernatural being wouldn’t distinguish the prophecies from ones generated in this fashion. I could be wrong. I was ready to be persuaded; I remain ready. But you haven’t begun to answer the question, much less to offer a persuasive explanation. ---

He says the Lord speaks to him, but apparently He’s telling the two of you different things. Jesus said: St John 7:18 Those who teach their own ideas are trying to get honor for themselves.

Giving a Word of knowledge is a gift of God, but that doesn’t make me a prophet. Lets see what happens after election night … Let us be sober about what is going to happen. Whatever it is … it has never happened before. I’m not sure I want to be a prophet … they kill prophets that are wrong. 1 Corinthians 12:29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? 1 Corinthians 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. 1 Corinthians 14:32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. Numbers 12:6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. Deuteronomy 18:20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. Deuteronomy 18:22 when a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him. ---

Man, God is really messing with you. He tells you Hillary’s gonna win the election, and if Trump wins, God’s gonna say, “Yeah, Hillary won the election…_ **FOR TRUMP** _!” God’s a lame asshole in this scenario. Why would you ever take God seriously if that’s the quality of his prophecies? He tells you, “It’s gonna rain tomorrow.” The next day is sunny.
