>>>So this God person is mutable? So, if he can change so much and so often, how much of these old texts is still valid? Can they still be trusted? He might have changed his mind an infinite number of times. >> >>Not if He's Omniscient. It was not a change of mind but all pre-planned from the beginning you see? > >Now we're getting somewhere... deeper into the conundrum. The question now is whether these future changes of mind were 1) written into the book in advance, or 2) was the book just a snapshot of the PR database at the time? In the first case, there should be stuff in there which nobody would be able to understand, because it relates to events of numerous millennia ahead; so we can only try to interpret them. Interpretation of the holy texts is what keeps the priests in business (and kept a lot of Milosevic's guys too - sorry for the parallel again). > >In the (2)nd case, it's obsolete, period.
