Jesus' abilities were not limited. He said,
"all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive" (Matt. 21:22), including the ability to demonstrate an effective metaphor (if that's not the desperate ad hoc attempt that it appears to be) without killing food sources like pigs and fig trees (let alone the issue of unnecessary... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (gatogreensleeves) http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/sreply/11250 Mon, 31 Jul 2006 12:51:35 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Matthew 8:32 - The Gergesene Swine ]]> http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/reply/11249/t/Matthew-8-32-The-Gergesene-Swine.html#reply-11249

Wait a minute. If we can conclude that Jesus was not omniscient because he asked a question that makes him look like he is not omniscient, can we conclude that god is not omniscient since he asked in the garden of Eden "where are my bratty offspring?" feeds@yuku.com (Yark Hutprancer) http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/sreply/11248 Sun, 01 Jan 2006 15:28:24 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Matthew 8:32 - The Gergesene Swine ]]> http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/reply/11247/t/Matthew-8-32-The-Gergesene-Swine.html#reply-11247 Quote:
