In the beginning of the physical universe. God was already in the beginning. In the beginning the Word already was.

Easy answer: Mar 2:21 No man puts a bit of new cloth on an old coat: or the new, by pulling away from the old, makes a worse hole. Mar 2:22 And no man puts new wine into old wine-skins: or the skins will be burst by the wine, and the wine and the skins will be wasted: but new wine has to be put into new wine-skins.

Psa 51:4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. Psa 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. Psa 58:3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. Psa 58:4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear; Rom 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

Of course He has a sense of humor. Mar 6:48 And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them. Mar 6:49 But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out: Mar 6:50 For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.

amen

What greater danger could there be than a God that "changes" His mind. It questions the perfection of God's knowledge and wisdom, His sovereignty, and the very word which is the basis of our faith. I understand that a few verses speak of God "repenting" of what he was going to do...or that he spared some He had promised to destroy... etc, etc. Better to understand these things as the best way man can understand God rather than understand God to change. The mass of scripture speaks or alludes to a God who changes in no way, ever. In Christ, Eric right, I'm guessing His "repenting" is describing His emotion.

I've gotta go with God created time for the bennefit of His creatures. God dwells in eternity. We will someday dwell there with Him, but He has eternally existed. He began His creation in the beginning. He speaks to us on a level we can understand. The Son was with the Father from the beginning. We infer that this does'nt mean since the beginning of time, rather from time everlasting. I would venture that time began when God created the heavens and the earth.

God loves satan, hates sin

Yeah, I don't understand how some people can only believe in certain parts of the Bible and not others? You either believe it or you don't, you can't pick and choose. Like people who claim to be Christians but say it's OK to be gay. People like that, IMO, are only in it for the "warm fuzzies." They want just enough to make them feel good about themselves but not enough for it to be an inconvenience. I may not believe in the Bible myself anymore, but if someone else claims to be a Christian, I expect them to believe in it - all of it! I don't even know where to start as far as no longer believing. Just reading the first page of the Bible brings about a trillion questions, but I guess I can start with: How is it that God created night & day on the First Day and the sun & moon on the Fourth? I know you can't really answer that to my satisfaction - there's really no logical answer (there are "answers," but they're ridiculous ones) - but that's just one of the many head-scratchers I can't get past. I don't see a problem here. first He made light. the darkness is called night the light is called day. this is the first day of creation. on the fourth day He created stars, sun, and moon to mark off seasons and days and to shine light onto the world. Is your problem with this that God couldnt have counted a day unless the earth rotated with the sun shining on it?

as a christian, studying psychology would be good. why not. but as for "christian psychologist" that's an oximoron. you have to remember psychology is a science of man, by man. you'll notice historically that the study of psychology has gone through many changes and errors.

agreed. there is no such thing as timelessness. all of creation exists in time. God dwells in the eternal, or outside of time. we are now eternal souls since our creation. our hope is to dwell with God in eternity. The triune God is the only persons to have ever existed from everlasting.

sorry, wrong post.

All the miracles, healings, feeding the thousands, raising the dead, and the other things Jesus did. Why is there not one single recorded writing about Jesus from anyone of the era...... there are also some historical notes found from Pilate.

The temptation of Jesus, why would Satan, if he knew Jesus was fully God ever tempt him. Satan of all people knows that God can not choose evil, this story just doesn't make sense Why would satan waste his time. Satan is a liar and the father of lies. He is a deciever and I believe He is decieved. His purpose is to thwart God's plan. He is certainly intellegent and knowledgable. On the last day he will be cast into the lake of fire. God says that. Satan knows Gods word, but doesnt believe it.

Wow. alot of questions. I'm not a scholar, by any stretch, but would like to comment on your questions, over time.
