Katie,

Then can I conclude that EVIL came with Knowledge. If that is true then
EVIL has to be the invention of MAN. GOD & DEVIL draw a bye on EVIL

That's true Thom...... knowledge carries it's own curse..... to know
better and yet act as if you didn't is the real sin.... isn't it?

To know better and act despite the facts to your own self interest.... is
that a sin? OOPS .... is that "wrong"??

Should we all behave "Alturistic" ????

CM,

I think what Kate is saying; Before Man had Knowledge his actions were
pre-determined. With knowledge his actions became a choose. His own. It
was man that made rules to make it Good or EVIL

I can buy into that.

No way.....nothing is pre-determined or for that matter, pre-destined.
Before that, man had the moral consciousness of any other animal...

And then Thom said: It

Nope...the rules were in place before man gained a conscience...he just
didn't have to play by them yet....

Sorry Kate,

You really hit a sour note with the statement; "Nothing is
pre-determined."
You better think that one over again. Death came to my thoughts as soon
as I read your post. Everyone dies! Even Christ died when he had a human
body. Night and day are pre-determined in our life on earth by the
rotation. We have a pre-determined amount of water on this earth. There
are many, many things that are pre-determined. Think about them.

What was the other--oh yeah! The rules were all in place before man had
a conscience. That being the case, why was it necessary for Moses to be
given the "Ten Commandants?" Why oh why have there been so many Judges
and Lawyers in this World of our?

Not really. I know plenty of people that aren't dead.






Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

I think you want to re-read Thom's post. I know most of the people you
hang with are dead, but that's not the point.

Hor-vat,

You know NO ONE who isn't going to die!
IT IS PRE-DETERMINED!!

Death is a natural course of events...it is not a pre-determination. No one
points a finger and says "This guy goes on June 22, 2005". That would be
pre=determination.

Good lord. Another English failure.

Main Entry: pre·de·ter·mine
1 a : FOREORDAIN, PREDESTINE b : to determine beforehand
2 : to impose a direction or tendency on beforehand

Living things tend to die. Katie, the word has a meaning, quite specific and
not subject to your voodoo. Natural course or not, death IS predetermined. Now
go sacrifice a chicken and take 3rd grade English again.
