Such as?


The terms of the agreement.
<Snipped quote by Host>

Shinji: why would you need the terms? If legend is truly interested in anything i could offer, he'd aggree to meet in perosn.


He will not be without preconditions.
<Snipped quote by Host>

Hey, its shinji. I need to as you a favor. I need to contact Legend. He currently has something I want, and I'm willing to make a deal.


I'm going to need the terms directly.

Hello.
<Snipped quote by Host>

I do not believe I have done anything deserving of death, and any punishment lower than that is likely warranted enough for me to accept it freely.


Why do you appear to fear that you will be punished?
<Snipped quote by Host>

Of course. But having them under the judgement of one who does not even purport to be a deity seems to disquiet many in the group. I, at least, do not worry for myself.


Why is that?
<Snipped quote by Host>

We have our own faults. He seemed to indicate that he had punishments in mind for some of us.


It would be difficult to lack faults.
<Snipped quote by Host>

That is good. I worry that he will eventually target members of our group by his very nature.


How so?
<Snipped quote by Host>

Has he passed any judgements that we would perceive as unjust, regardless of how just they actually are? I understand that may sound selfish, given our previous interactions with Unity, and I will admit that it is.


Likely not.
@Host That's where you are wrong. Nothing isn't predetermined. Even if, let's say, the universe is different after being reset, it is still predetermined on how this new universe will progress and everything else. By saying that something isn't predetermined you directly undermine the omniscience of God.

I still don't see how the spiritual state of humans would change the second time around and the fact that it isn't predetermined is saying that God doesn't see what path that spiritual state will take. What you said might be true if the spiritual state of everyone has some sort of "spiritual memory" of it's first time around. In that case it is very possible that it might behave differently.


What exactly is your argument? Are you arguing not having predestination is impossible because the future will eventually become the past or are you arguing that God knowing the future directly destroys the ability for it to not be predetermined? Both? Neither?
