Hello, it's me.

Misty, being a new member I don't seem to be able to reply to a PM. If I did register in 2014, I don't remember.

Re: Hello, it's me.
I guess that would be similar to the more materialist version of the same question: If the universe behaved in accordance with deterministic physical laws, and if our brains are part of that universe, then presumably, a complete knowledge of the state of the universe at one moment implies complete knowledge of all future states, including the future states of our brains.3. How can you reconcile free will and God's foreknowledge of what we will do?
But, more intriguingly, what were questions 1 and 2? And can we manage to have a philosophical discussion about model railroads? Those of us who have been inmates here for many years, with no possibility of parole, crave novelty and when the door opens, a new inmate is admitted and we all look up from our chains, it's always with the hope of something new.

Question one was how come god is capable of evil when he is infinitely good. And question two was why the original sin was absolved by the death of His son, when any other action could have been chosen for the same task.
