Reminds me of my mom.
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.
tiger then emerges from his hiding place and cries, “Here I am!” and we laugh and laugh.

No it wasn’t. You “corrected” something that was already correct and made a fool of yourself in the process.
Just be glad your error wasn’t as bad as what Flaming Cheeks of Embarrassment did.
There are TWO verbs to bear they have different past participles!
Bear means to carry, bring about, or tolerate something; but also
refers to bringing offspring into the world. These differences in meaning
directly influence the choice of past participle for the verb. It has two
of them, born and borne

What a shock to encounter that behavior in here.

[quote]Gen. 3:9
But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”
10 He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”
11 And he said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”

The traditional interpretation is the obvious interpetration: God is omniscient, but Adam is thick. Thus, he asks Adam these questions to give Adam the opportunity to tell the truth...
Whereas, in the very enxt chapter, Genesis 4, he asks Cain where his brother is, and allows Cain to attempt to lie about it, saying he does not know, when, of course, he murdered him. God, of course, is entirely aware of all of this, but gave to Cain the opportunity to lie or tell the truth -- to exercise his free will.
Originally posted by @romans1009You sound very frightened.
Good grief, tiger. Back to being the atheists’ lickspittle? When do you resume bashing and mocking Christians after pleading for their support?

Fear is the religious bedrock for many theists.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain."
-- The Litany of Fear, one of the teachings of the Bene Gesserit
I believe this. It has gotten me past situations which would have frozen me in place.
It also helped cure my PTSD.

'How blessed is the man who fears always, But he who hardens his heart will fall into calamity.'
Originally posted by @ghost-of-a-dukeI believe that quote from Proverbs refers to the fear of God, and “fear” in the New Testament is often a synonym for “respect” and “awe,” as when Paul advised to work out your salvation “with fear and trembling” and as when another Proverb declared the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
Proverbs 28:14
'How blessed is the man who fears always, But he who hardens his heart will fall into calamity.'
Originally posted by @ghost-of-a-dukeThis is a different sense of the word fear, as in "God-fearing", but my reply was just meant to show that while there seems to be some element of fear involved in Christianity (given as well as received), some of us are a little further down the road from that.
Proverbs 28:14
'How blessed is the man who fears always, But he who hardens his heart will fall into calamity.'
But the warning against "hardening" one's heart still stands. From that, all manner of travail follows.
