- Sigh. More quantum pseudoscience.
-
- Light acts like a particle sometimes and like a wave sometimes. The problem
- with reconciling the OT and NT gods is that God tends to be described as
- being a certain way without qualifications as to "sometimes".
-
- If someone points out that OT actions seems to show God not acting good, and
- you reconcile the OT and NT gods like you do light as particles/waves, you
- would be saying "God acts good sometimes and acts non-good sometimes". I have
- not yet seen a theist claim this.
