Derf, The further I went into the following post, the more aware I became of not being certain about just what it is you're trying to argue here. I think it would be a good idea for you to articulate, as clearly as you can, just what it is you're arguing. What is it that you're disagreeing with...

I Corinthians 15 is not talking about physical life and death. Do you know of even one single person who has been made physically alive in Christ?

Nick M and Right Divider are not the same person, outmeal! And, you seem to be trying your best to miss the point. Jesus wasn't asking a real question, He was being sarcastic. He was saying to Nichodemus, "You're a lot dumber than you think you are." He was mocking his status as "a teacher of...

I had the following "discussion" with Chat GPT after uploading the image above and quoting the caption below it. I'm posting the entire (relatively short) discussion to demonstrate how GPT should not be trusted at face value. You really do have to press to make sure that what you're getting...

How would anything Right Divider has said in anyway imply that Jesus was wrong? Wrong about what? There seems to be no mental path I can find to connect anything he's said to such a goofy conclusion.

That's a VERY good sign! It never made sense to you because it does not make sense - period. It means that your innate sense of justice is still intact, as is your ability to think clearly. Augustine is almost single-handedly responsible for the doctrine of original sin as we know it, but...

I've had Chat GPT edit the essay to make it easier to read. The content is exactly the same except for the formatting (e.g. paragraphs and numbered lists, etc)...

Where the footnotes not helpful?

Completely brilliant! How amazing it is to read something based on real wisdom, gained through long devotion, diligent study and sound reason. You should start a thread a couple of times a week with one of his writings.

Omni-evil Omni-sinful Omni-mean spirited Omni-stupid Omni-rediculous Oh wait! That's you! My mistake! Meaningless Can't be done. Meaningless. All meaningless. Again, all meaningless double talk. You don't even know what you're saying and couldn't explain it if your life depended on it...

Not in this context it isn't. Yes, you do. True. False to the point of lying, Derf! Show me one single example. Go ahead. Just one! That sentence makes no sense. Then you agree with me! As is always what I begin with - always. It is not merely a habit of mine, it seams innate - nigh unto...

There’s another point worth making here… Far too many Christians today are weak. They're thin-skinned, emotionally fragile, and completely incapable of handling strong opinions, especially when those opinions expose bad thinking or call out nonsense. Tell the average Christian that they’ve said...

Someone always makes this claim! In most cases, it's just pure projection. At best, you need to get your eyes checked! Not that we don't get emotional! Of course we do, but there's a big difference between being frustrated because someone is being evasive, unresponsive, or outright stupid, vs...

I'd love to get a copy of those writings!

You and me both! How many years have we practically begged people to make an actual argument instead of just showing up to state personal opinions. It truly is one of the very strongest aspects of Acts 9 Dispensational Open Theism. It seems like everyone who believes it is eager to make the...
