Sacred text is subject to interpretation.
Imagine "important text" in the real world being so open to interpretation!
A car manual.
An exam paper.
A contract.
Instructions for a Nuclear Strike.
The ambiguity of so-called sacred texts is clear
evidence that they are not written by any great intelligence.

Borne and born are both "bear" in past tense. Though it is a peculiar use of either word since it would essentially mean the person's parents lack intelligence and apparently passed the condition on.

“Since the latter part of the 18th century, a distinction has been made between born and borne as past participles of the verb bear1 . Borne is the past participle in all senses that do not refer to physical birth: The wheatfields have borne abundantly this year. Judges have always borne a burden of responsibility. Borne is also the participle when the sense is “to bring forth (young)” and the focus is on the mother rather than on the child. In such cases, borne is preceded by a form of have or followed by by: Anna had borne a son the previous year. Two children borne by her earlier were already grown. When the focus is on the offspring or on something brought forth as if by birth, born is the standard spelling, and it occurs only in passive constructions: My friend was born in Ohio. No children have been born at the South Pole. A strange desire was born of the tragic experience. Born is also an adjective meaning “by birth,” “innate,” or “native”: born free; a born troublemaker; Mexican-born.”

Man's Free Will seems to argue against God's prescience. If he knows the result, just because he sees the future, then how does that not throw out Free Will, if man is "destined" to take a certain action? I would suggest that God's supposed "prescience" is not strict "knowledge of the future", but yet a complicated educated guess as to what the outcome will be. God knows man, in a complete and total way, he looks on our hearts, he knows what motivates and moves us. Just because God is always 'right' doesn't mean that he actually 'knows the future', but that he simply 'knows' what choices most likely will be made, based on what has come before. There are countless examples of this in scripture.

Or if I put a glass of ale or PB&J sandwich in front of tiger, I know they both will disappear in a matter of moments, even though I do not know the future.
But I know my tiger!

Originally posted by @wolfgang59No it wasn’t. You “corrected” something that was already correct and made a fool of yourself in the process.
Idiot.

Just be glad your error wasn’t as bad as what Flaming Cheeks of Embarrassment did.

She would call out to me to go somewhere where I did not want to go, so I would hide, only, I picked piss poor places to hide. She knew EXACTLY where I was, but would stand there and call out my name to come out anyway.
She was confronting my disobedience, and she wished to give me some time to reconsider my position while standing very close by.
