Depicts General George Washington and members of the Colonial Army crossing the Delaware River en route to very important victories during the Revolutionary War. The design is based on the 1851 painting by Emmanuel Leutze, "Washington Crossing the Delaware," which currently hangs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

He can not have done a good job answering me, because I
haven't asserted anything. Among the many things you
don't know is my philosophical position.

What "can't" be done is this: You can't name a single
premise of mine, whether it be true or false.

Try to read what is before you.

You made the statement "God did NOT cause Judas to
betray Jesus." Show me where God revealed this to you.
So what if God revealed something else to you. What
has He said about Judas? You have to keep adding
to Scripture to support your doctrine.

How do we know that? There are lots of paradoxes in Scripture.
It's not a matter of "willing the opposite", but of human
minds not being able to resolve the paradox.

And again, how do you know that? You're adding to Scripture
again.

No, it just says that His revelation is plain. It says nothing
about that which He has not revealed. (And surely you're not
saying that God has revealed everything. So there must be some
secrets.)
