And classic Bart, too.

No, I make no such claim. So it is this accusation of yours that is "irrational
rambling pointless bather[sic]'.
Like I said: classic Bart! He doesn't even know the difference between 'bather'
and 'blather'.

You keep repeating _this_ nonsense after you claimed such an unerring sense for
detecting illogic? Are you really so eager to make such a fool of yourself in
such a public forum?
>I sure don't have time or energy for nonsense like that.
No. You only have time and energy for much worse real nonsense. Such as claiming
that I asked you for proof that I can't read God's mind.
It is shameful, Bart, for someone with a PhD in mathematics to make such an
obviously false and unsubstantiable claim. I never claimed to know God's mind. I
only claimed to know that we can define "consequent will" and "antecedent will"
of God. But if you would use your head for something other than casting
aspersions and worse, you would remember that when _I_ talk about such
'definitions', I am usually talking about _apophatic_ definitions. Apophatic
definitions do NOT claim to exhaustively describe. Therefore, I am most
certainly NOT talking about "knowing the mind of God".
No, it is you, not me, who has followed the gross fallacy here, Bart. Again,
that is particularly shameful after your bragging of such an ability to detect
illogic.
The fallacy you have committed is sometimes called the Fallacy of Division. For
what is true of knowledge of God's mind as a whole, namely, that we cannot have
it, is NOT true of the knowledge I claim God revealed to us, namely, that there
is a distinction between "consequent will" and "antecedent will".
Is that too hard for you to follow, Bart? Maybe you had better stick to grading
math papers. For as Aquinas
