    This Puzzle Has Me Stumped!!

    I'm usually pretty good at puzzles but I cannot figure this one out. I spent another 45 minutes to an hour fiddling with it yesterday. You know that I've given up when I start looking for the solution online. I've looked and looked and cannot find a single example of this specific puzzle...

    On the omniscience of God

    Well, God certainly knows his heart and can easily know the kinds of things he'd likely do if he was given the power and authority to do it. Also, we have to guard against looking at these predicted actions through modern day lenses. A prediction that a king "will set fire to their fortified...

    On the omniscience of God

    It helps a great deal if you read it in modern English.... II Kings 8:7 Elisha went to Damascus, and Ben-Hadad king of Aram was ill. When the king was told, “The man of God has come all the way up here,” 8 he said to Hazael, “Take a gift with you and go to meet the man of God. Consult the Lord...

    This Puzzle Has Me Stumped!!

    I've thought of exactly that - well something similar anyway! I know that the solid piece with no cutouts goes in last and that the square hole it goes into has no hidden voids once its in place. So far, that knowledge hasn't been of any help. I'll try again with that thought specifically in focus.

    This Puzzle Has Me Stumped!!

    I need some help solving this puzzle. I've fiddled with it for hours and hours and I just cannot figure it out. I've looked online for solutions and it seems to be a quite unique version of this puzzle to the point that there isn't a single example of it anywhere online - until now, of...

    Global Warming er um Climate Change FRAUD

    I saw this on X the other day. It's nice to see someone standing up against an arrogant, left-wing reporter but the error that the President Ali made was to accept the reporter's premise. His defense was to talk about his country's carbon footprint and "gigatons of carbon" in his country's rain...

    Religious Zealotry

    If it wasn't dead already, I was surely in hospice while I was growing up! So, on the subject of the death penalty for kids.... I'd say that if they are old enough to know what they're doing then they aught to be executed for the crimes they commit. So far, I see no evidence that suggests that...

    On the omniscience of God

    You seem incapable of reading me at all. What could I possibly have written that would lead you to make such a conclusion? I consider any Non-Catholic Christian who believes either that God predestined everything or is in control of all that happens, to be a Calvinist, whether they call...

    On the omniscience of God

    Yes, Southern Baptist does not equal Calvinist, that's definitely true. There is a growing segment of the denomination that is Calvinist, however. I attended one near Tulsa that was "officially" Calvinist, although they more or less avoided talking about controversial issues like predestination...

    On the omniscience of God

    This is a very good post that goes a long way towards basically saying outright something that I've noticed for years. That being the fact that most regular people don't actually believe hardly any of the five points of Calvinism. They think they do but the fact is that they don't really...

    On the omniscience of God

    Let's put it this way.... If he still believes the things he said in the thread that Lon posted a link to about "God's prescriptive and decretive will" then he's still a Calvinist. I'd be willing to bet dollars to donuts that he still does and is. He wouldn't be the first Calvinist who didn't...

    On the omniscience of God

    It's been over a decade since I've discussed anything with him. Perhaps he's repented but he was a Calvinist when he was here and unless he's significantly altered his beliefs, then he's a Calvinists whether he calls himself that or not.

    On the omniscience of God

    James Hilston is as strident a Calvinist as has ever posted a single syllable on this website! He's a far more logically consistent and intellectually honest Calvinist than even Dr. Lamerson who debated Bob Enyart in Battle Royale X. What's more is that he would actually respond directly to the...

    What Time Dilation ACTUALLY Is In Relativity (Hint: It has nothing to do with time)

    The two videos below are, without a doubt, the best videos I have ever seen that deal with Einstein's Theory of Relativity in a manner that does not require the ontological existence of time or space and the difference between physics (ontological) vs. mathematics (epistemological). "It is not...

    On the omniscience of God

    It's an assertion that is backed up by decades worth of my own personal observation. There isn't a single Christian alive anywhere on Earth that I've ever met, seen in person, watched on video, heard on the radio or debated on the internet that does not live their lives as though Open Theism is...

    Top 10 Reasons the Universe is Electric (Electric Universe Theory)

    I read through the last several dozen posts on this thread earlier this morning. I have to say that I feel like I had a pretty good handle on things back more than seven years ago. I feel about the same now about the Electric Universe Theory as I did then, which is to say that I'm convinced that...

    Religious Zealotry

    So, not half an hour after I hit "Post reply" on my last post, I heard this story on the radio.... "According to the Harris County Sheriff's Office, a 7- and 12-year-old are accused of stabbing a 59-year-old woman, sending her to the hospital in critical condition."...

    Religious Zealotry

    I'm not certain that a five year old child would be capable of committing a capital crime. Capital crimes are all intentional acts (i.e. accidents are not crimes). Most capital crimes are completely impossible for a five year old to commit. Such a child could not commit adultery for obvious...
