Which had no less prov'd certain unforeknow.
God states that His knowledge of future events is not the same as predestination, he establishes himself as merely a bystander in these events. To force His divine will on the Angels or Man would be an injustice to each particular creature's own free will. Instead, God must let each creature act on its own choices. In turn, God must act as a judge: He must honestly reward the faithful and justly punish the violators ...

A Room Of One’s Own: Cranial Spelunking
Number of Words: 2134 / Number of Pages: 8
... like Virginia Woolf would have no problem doing this at all. It would simply be a matter of giving her a pen and paper. By placing your stream of thoughts on paper, you can easily explore how the human mind processes information. The flow from one thought to another is like a stream (thus the name). More often than not, visual stimuli are what form the current that directs the stream. This is especially true in younger children.
Often times a child will run, fall, bump his head, look around, start crying, see a toy, stop crying, run to get the toy, see a dog, chase the dog, etc. This is because th ...

Number of Words: 740 / Number of Pages: 3
... book are reminiscent of Thomas Pynchon, but
it seems as if he is trying desperately, (and badly) to search for his own
style, a way to test his own limits as an author. While the language and
