Is circus not a congregation?. Is a building a congregation?. Ijo can meet in a building but ijo is not a building, ijo is a congregation meaning church
Circus is a building were worshippers of Circe worship.

Ijo does not mean a building, is a shrine an ijo?

Congregation is ekkelesia not church.

Look at your fellow yahweh worshipper.

Common sense is enough to realize that God who you can't see can not be offended by you and that you need to focus on the person you wronged. Islam is a sect of Christianity and Mohammed was converted by his catholic wife which is why he believed in the immaculate conception of Jesus. The first religion is Christianity. Christianity was spread by the sword as well. Only kids and impressionable adults can be scared by fairy tales in books of religion. Not someone like me.

Islam is a sect of Christianity guy you are very funny 😂

When did bible tell christians to spread Christianity by the sword?

Then don't be threatened by it since you are not scared.

Where could Mohammed have learnt Bible stories if not from Christians?. Prior to Mohammed only Christians peddled the tale of the virgin birth and a special status for Jesus Christ.

You yourself you are omniscient with Ifa and omnipotent as well with iseegun if you learn it. Iseegun is still like Ifa because they use formulas. Therefore you have magic and are therefore omnipotent and omniscient. How much more God?. The existence of magic answers your question. There is no hell. Why would there be hell?

Nope accepting Jesus was born by a virgin doesn't make Mohammed a Christian he says Jesus isn't God that's denying Jesus Christ power.

My guy I don't mean to insult you but it's is a well Know fact that Mohammed was not a Christian it is know by secular historians and everyone saying this implies that you can't find anything wrong with Christianity itself that's why you have to say it's the same with Islam just to discredit it.

I Know your problem you can't come to the reality that an omniscient being can grant free will and still be omniscient you also forget this God is all powerful. I asked chatgpt that question hear is it's answer.

God's Omniscience and Free Will

User
Can God grant freewill and still be omniscient

ChatGPT
The relationship between free will and omniscience has been a subject of philosophical and theological debate for centuries. The question of whether God can grant free will and still be omniscient is known as the problem of divine foreknowledge and human free will.

Omniscience means having complete and perfect knowledge of all things, including past, present, and future. If God is omniscient, it would mean that God knows everything that has happened, is happening, and will happen, including all our choices and actions.

Free will, on the other hand, refers to the ability of individuals to make choices and decisions that are not determined by external factors or predestined events. It implies that individuals have the power to choose between different courses of action.

The apparent conflict arises when considering the idea that if God already knows everything that will happen in the future, then our choices and actions might seem predetermined, and thus free will could be called into question.

Several philosophical and theological positions have been proposed to address this problem:

Predestination: Some religious traditions propose the idea of predestination, wherein God's omniscience means that He knows all future events, including our choices, and these events are already preordained or predetermined. In this view, free will coexists with God's omniscience, but our choices are still known in advance.

Open Theism: Open theism suggests that God has chosen not to know the future choices of individuals to preserve human free will. In this view, God's omniscience is limited to what is knowable, and the future, being undetermined, remains open.

Middle Knowledge: This concept, proposed by Luis de Molina, suggests that God has "middle knowledge," which allows Him to know what individuals would freely choose under any given circumstance. In this way, God's omniscience includes knowledge of all possible choices without determining the actual choices.

Compatibilism: Some philosophers argue that free will and determinism (or predestination) can coexist. They define free will as the ability to act according to one's desires and beliefs, even if those desires and beliefs are causally determined. In this view, free will is compatible with God's omniscience, as God's knowledge of our choices is a result of knowing our causal dispositions.

It's essential to recognize that this is a complex and ongoing philosophical and theological debate, and there is no universally accepted answer. The concept of God's omniscience and its relationship with free will is deeply intertwined with various religious beliefs and philosophical perspectives. Different religious traditions and scholars may have varying interpretations of these concepts.

Jesus Christ did not become the God of Christians immediately. At first different preachers were preaching a variety of doctrines and a conference had to be called to harmonize the teachings. That was the council of Nice. It was at that conference that Jesus was made God. Obviously some other sects preached their own doctrine to Mohammed and it stuck. Accepting Jesus as a prophet and believing the virgin birth means you were converted by a Christian sect and there were many and there are still many today. Mohammed obviously was a Christian and Islam another sect of Christianity. Note that Jews see Jesus not as a prophet but as a criminal

Let me use an analogy. Behavior analysts are omniscient so far what you will do next is concerned. They are amoranbinioyo. What you will do next is determined by your character which can NEVER change and that character was chosen by you. Your ayanmo can not be altered. The CIA are behavior analysts which makes them omniscient so far what who is under their surveillance will do next is concerned. Therefore God is omniscient like the CIA and it does not affect freewill at all. That is the issue

If a cutlass is thrown 200 times, it will always land on the flatside. All things being equal, the choice of a human being will NEVER change. Middle Knowledge is the most valid proposition. A murderer will murder again. A cheater will cheat again. A thief will steal again. If placed under the same exact circumstance. What caused it the first time will cause it again the second time.
