Bible Decipher

My tears have been my food day and night, While they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?” These things I remember and I pour out my soul within me. For I used to go along with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God, With the voice of joy and thanksgiving, a multitude keeping festival. — Psalm 42:3-4 For You are the God of my strength; why have You rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? O send out Your light and Your truth, let them lead me; Let them bring me to Your holy hill And to Your dwelling places. — Psalm 43:2-3 A Psalm of Asaph. The Mighty One, God, the Lord, has spoken, And summoned the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting. Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shone forth. May our God come and not keep silence; Fire devours before Him, And it is very tempestuous around Him. He summons the heavens above, And the earth, to judge His people: “Gather My godly ones to Me, Those who have made a cov...

The universe , with its manifold dimensions, has demonstrated a conspicuous and unambiguous essence, purpose, and indispensability.  Its being and activity have been patently evident, and its importance and influence in shaping the cosmos have been widely recognized.  The intricate interplay of its constituent elements, ranging from the minutest subatomic particles to the grandest celestial bodies, has generated a complex and dynamic system that has sustained life and enabled the evolution of the universe. Therefore, the universe's essential characteristics and operations have been a matter of intense philosophical inquiry and contemplation, yielding profound insights into the nature of reality and our position therein.

A Priori is a Latin term used in philosophy to refer to knowledge that is independent of experience, observation, or other empirical evidence. A proposition that is known a priori can be considered to be true independently of any specific instance or situation. The term is often contrasted with its opposite, a posteriori, which describes knowledge that is based on observation, experience, or evidence. The distinction between a priori and a posteriori knowledge is an important concept in epistemology, the branch of philosophy concerned with knowledge and belief.

“Foreknew” –The English word "foreknew" is misleading here. God’s purpose spoken of in v 28 is this: to make believers like Christ  It is a mistake to read it merely as ‘perceiving beforehand’.  The (arguably false)  argument is:  "God knows beforehand who will believe on Him and who will not, as a result of which He predestined to salvation those whom He foresaw would believe on Him. Meaning, what He foreknows or foresees is their faith."  But logical thinking will show that such "predestination" is not predestination at all. What this describes is He “says yes to” someone's faith which He foresees will be there. This would make foreknown faith as a work of merit, missing the mark of translating the original word. Even worse, it also misses the very point of the passage in it's context. The verse does not say that" God foreknew what certain of his creatures would do". It is not talking about human actions at all. "Those whom He fore...

What Does ‘Many Are Called Few Are Chosen’ Mean in the Bible? “And again Jesus spoke to them in parables, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son, and sent his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come. Again he sent other servants, saying, 'Tell those who are invited, See, I have prepared my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast.' But they paid no attention and went off, one to his farm, another to his business, while the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them. The king was angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy. Go therefore to the main roads and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.' And those servants went out into the roads and...
