With all your lack of degrees and mine? No. Simply YOU made it a Western victory. My whole point was that we in America haven't even been here but 200 years yet we spawn every oddball cult like we are the center of the world. We aren't. I proved it. Yet I gave you the link. It doesn't...

Nope 106,491,000 383 Million for all of Asia 12 Million Australians, 631 Million in Africa, 28 Million in India Russia? Part at least of the East in numbers as well. 20% in the Middle East before genocide (12 Million Christians dead, moved, converted, or in hiding). Middle East as well 650...

El most often applies to God. As "El Gabor" it means Almighty thus "God" is necessary as the translation. Those who translated, did so correctly here. I like the old and the new versions. What I most liked in the 'modern' rendition is 1) that Ralph Carmichael orchestrated the whole of it...

What do you make of Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. It is odd, even in explanation from Jews I've read, that He will be called...

It is the same with every Unitarian. No difference here: Genuinely, it is an unwillingness to simply read and understand grammar and adhere to grammar rules. Most of the time, this is ever the problem with any off-shoot theology: an inability to read and poor S.A.T. scores. 💫 Very...

🤔 We disagree at times. On this one, I believe His death also necessary, without out, there would be no remission of sins. Paul goes so far as to 'bury' us with Him 'to be raised to life.' I don't believe one can separate His death and life from our salvation. Paul declared the gospel...

You CANNOT speak something against scripture, asserting such as if it were fact. Cannot. Trevor, "cannot." Only Begotten means 'Only' Trevor. It means He is necessarily God. "Before Abraham was, I am." "...glory I had with you before the universe was..." "was with AND was God.."...

Why would you even suggest it? Luke 1:35 The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the Holy One to be born will be called the Son of God. Matthew 1:20b “... the One conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. No, special...

Bipartisan? Unilateral?

It is from both sides now. I instead look at who is against it, even if they believe legally (a few democrats) it is necessary. I'm seeing a few democrats that are actually more anti-abortion than some of their fellow Republicans these days. Then, as I said, I live in a state where...

Er, no. John 3:5,6 "That which is born of Spirit IS Spirit..." Quit listening when doctrines, however comfortable, collide with scripture. Listen to Scripture. Incorrect. Quit turning off your ears on purpose lest you kick against God very God, instead just Lon. : Plain: "The Glory I...

Mat 1:20 And as he thought upon these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take to you Mary as your wife. For that in her is fathered of the Holy Spirit. Mat 1:21 And she shall bear a son, and you shall call His name...

You jumped quite a leap to get 'replaced teachings of Jesus and the Apostles.' I've read enough history, but this also completely ignores what Coptic and Eastern Orthodox churches, independent of Rome, believed. They are all fairly much in unison to this day. Ignoring that? Yep...

And yet, God STILL chose them for His Son. A little big-headed. China presently has more believers than we do. There are still Coptic and EO churches. Where do you see false prophets scattered? 🤔 Actually, don't they think the sleeping prophet, Edgar Cayce was Wilfred Kellogg, his...

Not exactly. I'm happy you at least know some of the Christian story. Like you (and Judge Rightly) we see a difference between old and new. Walk with me a moment: God CHOSE Israel. You nor I can argue that point. Jesus was born to them. God could have chosen the Urantia,Mormon...

Nope. Every one of the old cultures reported a flood story, Caino. You are doing confirmation bias at this point. No, we are not. Two different times, Caino. Its a huge deal: It teaches you to question truth and discount it before you ever figured out if it was true or not. You simply...

I've been here since almost from the beginning of TOL Always research, Trevor. This isn't the smoking gun you were looking for, however hopeful you may have been. Leyrins was French, and not the sole authority in the 4th century. Catholics and Protestants question whether Leyrins was...

With 3rd grade grammar? Don't think so. Intelligent people don't put their fingers in their ears. I do grasp and have wrestled with God through the O.T. You? Ran away and found something one step removed from God: "celestial beings" and then call that intelligent :doh:

1) I do believe the flood story 2) Whatever derivative ideas I get from that story, do not have to be in conflict with science ideas. I may not be 100% on page with other Christians, but I didn't lose my faith because of conflicting ideas. You did. See above. I don't care. My faith is...

Incorrect. If you were into science, you'd say "Radiometric dating leads us to estimate the earth to be 4 billion years old." THEN science would continue: "still under investigation." (which Scientific American states). The University of North Carolina (ranked 17th in the world) challenges...
