I’ll try to keep things shorter, but I’m also trying to be as clear as possible, because your proposed solution has consequences you have not accounted for, and so far have not addressed. (I'm also really passionate about this topic.) No, I do not admit that. I admit that the king would have...

You are still treating tyranny of an evil king as the only danger. I'm saying there are greater dangers than that. Yes, the king may become a tyrant. Yes, the fact that the king cannot be lawfully removed by another earthly office may result in tyranny. I am not denying that danger. It's even...

But this simply relocates the problem. You say the judiciary would be under the law. So is the king. You say the judiciary would have no power to make new law. Fine. But that does not prevent the judiciary from using the threat of removal to influence the king’s rule. If the king knows that...

I love animals. They're very tasty!

Tu Wong.

TL;DR: "A removal mechanism controlled by the king cannot restrain him. A removal mechanism not controlled by the king outranks him." Clete, I'm going to answer posts 303 and 307 together, because the removal mechanism in 303 depends on the altered judicial structure in 307. Let me start...

Maybe. But visibility is being assumed here. Under HPT, the early Flood atmosphere would not have been a clear night sky with a convenient view of meteors. The fountains of the great deep would have put enormous amounts of water vapor, spray, cloud, mist, sediment, and debris into the...

Saying it doesn't make it so. As Clete said, appeal to tradition fallacy. James 2 proves Abraham’s faith was demonstrated by his obedience, not that God exhaustively foreknew Abraham’s obedience before Genesis 22. That is not special pleading; Genesis 22 and James 2 fit together just fine...

You can thank the "cash for clunkers" programs for that.

They don't have the callouses of effort to soften the blow.

You're a legalist, Idolater.

Because you don't rightly divide. Take off the catholic glasses, so that you can see clearly. Not once in the Bible does Paul preach the remission of sins. That should tell you something. In fact, the only times the word is used is in Matthew once, Mark once, Luke thrice, Acts twice, and...

There's a number of things wrong with everything you said here. But allow me to summarize with a few proverbs and Bible verses: - “No man should be judge in his own cause.” - “The fox should not guard the henhouse.” - “We investigated ourselves and found ourselves free of any wrongdoing.”...

He did. There were new people being added daily to it. Acts 2:47. They're two different churches. Why is that so hard for you to accept? Jesus only talked about the first one because the second one was still at that time a mystery kept secret. It was only after His people (as a whole)...
