Satan would have really balked if he had known it was a set up, and God already knew the results.

So God didn't know the results? What port of All seeing, All knowing, Ever-present don't you get?

I know that some of you like to package everyone up in your neat little acronyms because then you don't have to deal with the individual

FYI Dyophysite would be the Catholic version. but you can't put me in your cookie mold, what I believe I have learned from my private studies, and from no one else.

So... we've herd it before from other people and their "private studies", it was blasphemous then and it's blasphemous now.

Do you not think that God can be a sport and bypass his all knowing and ever present self.

I think there are ample proofs where God hid his eyes to the final outcome, such as Adam's sin, mankind having to be destroyed in the flood, Israel sinning and not being permitted into the promise land, Abraham offering his son, and Jacob wrestling with a man (probably God) until the breaking of day, do you think God does everything knowing the results, does God ever live in the present, or does he only know that which he wants to know?

I think he can do either, otherwise his existence is just a script acted out, and that would be boring even for God.

Was the apostle Paul "Blasphemous"? What large group of bishops did Paul studying under, or did he have to go to the apostles?

Gal 1:11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.

V-12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

It sounds to me like Paul believed in private interpretation when the Holy Spirit was the teacher.

Where did the apostles at Jerusalem jump on Paul's back for teaching from his private studies with Christ. They knew and understood that this was the way the Holy Spirit was going to work from now on, and they didn't fight against it like the RCC'c do today.
