That was YOUR argument SoT!!! That's THE reason everyone started talking about Calvinism! No it wasn't! You are basing your thought process on it. That's the reason you insist that the bible teaches it! If it doesn't teach it, you've lost the only leg this silly "allegory" idea of your has to...

Silly Drop the term Calvinism! I don't care. That's what it is but a fart still stinks just as badly whether you call it "Fart" or not. Neither do I. That isn't the point. The point is that these doctrines have an origin and are commonly referred to in certain ways. Your ignorance isn't my...

No one has said that you are a Calvinist. Are you stupid or what? Read this next bit SLOWLY. Go one single word at a time and make sure you understand each word before proceeding to the next, okay? Ready? The PREMISE upon which you are basing your rejecting the plain reading of Genesis is a...

You certainly do seem to care about it because you won't let us say that he was wrong! The objections you raise are only true from within a Calvinistic paradigm. When we say that we disagree with a particular premise, your response is, "So I'm afraid I can't accept your "excuse" that God's...

So, you start by denying that you said it and then you say it again! Just exactly who is it that you're trying to fool here? If you think you've discovered something important then why do you not discuss it with whomever it is you happen to be discussing it with? Why insist on basing it on a...

Well, I don't mind offering the feedback but there is a lot there to wade through. Could you maybe give me something of a summary of your argument or at least point me directly at a good post to start at so that I don't have to read the whole thread? I can tell you that post 152 (one of the...

Says the hypocrite who showed up here to tell us all that he, all by himself, figured out what the corrupted bible actually is trying to teach, all while blanking out the fact that if whole sections of the bible are just allegory that is there to teach us this secret wisdom that he's been able...

That was one very interesting post! Well done.

You're an idiot. Did you really miss the point that completely?

Is Matthew 7:6 literal or allegorical?

It's laughable, and equally tragic, the extent to which idiotic fools show up on this website to show off their intellect and then self-destruct into literal insanity and abject stupidity after less than a single day of being confronted with someone who can actually think clearly. I mean, we...

Restating your premise does nothing to establish that premise! Why couldn't it be perfect just because it can smashed? What if it isn't smashed? Being indestructible is not part of what it means for something to be a sphere, SoT, and so, no, it would not be no more perfect of a sphere than any...

No one is hiding. Semantics is an important consideration in any discourse. Terms must be well defined or else confusion is the inevitable result. Premise 1 is accurate to the point of being undeniable within a Christian context. Contradiction. If all of God's creations are perfect, BY...

I agree with Right Divider. By what definition of "perfect" does your line of reasoning logically follow? Just what is it about how God made the Earth that you think could have been done better?

So the disagreement(s) here have to do with what it means to "think". I am so far away from being an expert on AI that's it's sort of funny for me to even be saying this much, but it seems clear that LLMs are, at the very least, emulating the function of a brain. Is that thinking? If not...

Awesome! I can't say that I'm familiar with those last three. Maybe it's just been a while and I don't recall them off the top of my head. I'll have to check them out. Come Thou Fount is one of my very favorite hymns! It is one you could read a bunch of Calvinist doctrine into - or not. I love...

I initially read it as replacing the two words "all may" with the single word "we", which makes no sense. Sorry.

Which is why I following it up with an entire post that you just spent at least an hour (probably more) responding too. That sentence does not make sense. That sentence, also, does not make sense. A claim which you never substantiate throughout the rest of your post. In other words...

Wow! How flagrant is that! It's not even the right number of syllables which tears up the meter of the rhyme. Goofy Calvinists!

What are you even talking about?! That Catechism has to be one of the most irrational documents that has ever been written for men to read. I mean, it has stiff competition for the top position in that category to be sure (the Koran and Bhagavad Gita come to mind), but it's right up there with...
