... OK then, but now you also seem unaware of the notion of conditional and unconditional covenants, such as exist in scripture and as such are readily distinguished by theologians. ... Deut 31:8 "The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. " Lack of conditional in this promise noted. Okay, in a manner of speaking L'Oréal changes hair color all the time, but you'd be missing the point. The point is that you do not have control over much of any significance, whatever you believe about promises, unconditional or otherwise. - Which is a different thing entirely from the general statement you made earlier, but that still leaves me with the most important control I mentioned, that over my own destiny, whether it is in the heavenly choir or being poked by demons with pitchforks in a pit of fire. And your remarks still leaves unresolved how any specific view can be obtained of something which is apparently so 'vague and nebulous'. But perhaps you have defined God over again?
