    Unable to Believe the “Foolish” Gospel

    It doesn't. You do reject God but have demonstrated an ability to understand the truth as presented in God's word and by doing so testify against yourself.

    On the omniscience of God

    I recommend guarding against rejecting a proposition based on your emotional reactions rather than a dispassionate analysis of what is actually being said. Such emotionalism is the purview of women and children. The open view is about being two things.... 1. Strictly biblical. 2. Strictly...

    Understanding God’s election

    The disciples didn't even understand that He was going to rise from the dead! Jesus told them as much but they didn't get it. They didn't even believe that He was going to die, much less rise from the dead and to whatever extent they might have been hopeful of such an eventuality, they didn't...

    Understanding God’s election

    I can't imagine anyone taking it to mean suicide but I've seen crazier things than that! I strongly disagree here. Jesus took up His own life again and thus rose Himself from the grave by His own power. Our resurrection will be something that happens to us by God's power and so it...

    On the omniscience of God

    All of the omni-doctrines are overstatements of the truth. Omnipresence is no exception. Biblically, God can simultaneously be everywhere He wants to be. He is not required to be anywhere, nor can He be forced to go to, or to stay in, any particular place. And, what should go without having to...

    On the omniscience of God

    Yes it is exactly the correct translation! See! How it easy it is to make bald claims?! Here's the actual argument..... The Greek word παντοκράτωρ (pantokrátōr) translates to "Almighty" or "All-Powerful" in English. It combines panto- (meaning "all" or "every") and krátōr (meaning "ruler" or...

    On the omniscience of God

    That's as far as you got before making your first error. Knowing every possible move does not imply knowing every move that will be made and thus it is not omniscience. Having the ability to stop anything doesn't imply either a need, a requirement nor even the willingness to do so. Further...

    A Moment of Honesty From an Atheist

    Excellent quote! She is too generous to Lewontin though. At best, he's honest about being dishonest. Anyone who was actually honest would find something else to do rather than continuing to take money to finance what is known to be a scientific dead end.

    On the omniscience of God

    Making a claim is easy. Proving it is something else entirely. In short... Saying it doesn't make it so!

    Understanding God’s election

    How so? Show me the syllogism. Further, it isn't my logic. Jesus laid down His own life. He did it willingly and had He not submitted Himself to it, no one would have been able to play a finger on Him. John 10:17 “Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it...

    Unable to Believe the “Foolish” Gospel

    I'm not harping and my response to your post is based on the fact that our respective posts make the same point. That passage in Ezekiel is like a phantom passage, SoT. There isn't 10% of Christianity that even knows that it exists and nearly all of those who do know that it exists, ignore it...

    Understanding God’s election

    Laughable insanity!!!! Hopefully no one bothers to read it. Jesus didn't just heal people, He rose HIMSELF from the dead! John 10:17 “Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. 18 No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay...

    Understanding God’s election

    Stupidity. Curing congenital blindness in 30 seconds or less is in accordance with the laws of nature? Raising people from the dead is in accordance with the laws of nature? Raising one's self from the dead is in accordance with the laws of nature? You're too stupid for words! Of course it...

    Unable to Believe the “Foolish” Gospel

    I wrote the post immediately prior to this one before I read the post quoted above. All I can say is, you are without excuse! Wow! I'd be shaking in my boots of I were you. I mean you're in BIG trouble! Like, REALLY big!

    Unable to Believe the “Foolish” Gospel

    Saying it doesn't make it so, Doug. Lie! This is so but not in the way you mean it. We are indeed all descended from Adam and we do inherit what Paul calls "the flesh" from him. However, a major part of the gospel is the Jesus' death makes it so that no one will go to Hell because of Adam's...

    How to respond to classical theists who dodge Open Theism arguments

    I am not wrong. I stand by every syllable. You want to apply general truths like those found throughout the book of proverbs to every specific case, which is an error by anyone's standard. That was supposed to be a quote? You need a new bible! Your version.... Proverbs 2:6 All wisdom comes...

    Understanding God’s election

    That's the reason that I added that miracles are SUPER natural, by definition. Stupidity! That flatly is NOT the definition of miracle, not at least by any biblical or Christian standard. Yeah, sure. You are definitely a lunatic. No one cares about how you see it. It isn't a matter of...

    Understanding God’s election

    In fact, the definition of a miracle is an event that CANNOT be explained by normal physical processes. Miracles are SUPER natural, by definition. That's because you are literally an idiot. Regardless, my point stands. Your secular definition of faith has nothing to do with the bible or...

    How to respond to classical theists who dodge Open Theism arguments

    That isn't what Proverbs 2:6 says, which is, I suspect, why you choose not to actually quote it. The confusion here is coming from you applying the general to the specific.

    Understanding God’s election

    Good grief! Is there anything that you believe that isn't stupidity? This idiotic comment doesn't even follow by its own internal logic! What if you had only shown me a quid? And, on what evidence would I have taken you as "an authority who speaks the truth"? Your definition of faith is...
