I joined long before that. That 2003 number was after they came back up after either something went wrong or they changed software or something where everything was reset. I lost dozens of posts that I would have kept copies of had I known that losing them all was a serious danger. I'm pretty...

It just means that God has always existed; that He is the only thing that has always been real and everything else that is real came from Him. I have no idea whether Aristotle ever stated anything similar or not and I know next to nothing about Thomism except that a guy named Thomas was closely...

Yeah, I think it was to a degree. I think I got complaint bombed by a whole group at once in an attempt to get me banned, which was successful. I don't remember what year it was when I first came here. It was a long time ago! I remember being nervous about it, thinking that I was going to get...

So, recently I've been active on a couple of other web forums. I won't name them because I strongly suspect that my experience would be the same wherever I went - except for here - and so it doesn't matter which ones they were. There is one site that I posted on yesterday and this morning...

Not that anyone would have cared about that had Rittenhouse been anything other than a white guy.

Two shots or two criminals? I was just playing off the "3 shots" from the previous post.

The Earth's magnetic field does not shield us from space debris unless that debris happens to be hydrogen nuclei and other charged sub-atomic particles streaming off the sun. It has basically no effect at all on what would normally be considered debris like space rocks or pieces of our own...

Rittenhouse's 3 shots only killed criminals.

Historically true but it does not follow to then conclude that there could not have been any fall without the serpent.

By what convoluted logic would you come to such a conclusion? I dare you to try to state the logic explicitly. You will fail. That's just the problem. I don't think you are thinking. I think you're parroting stuff you heard someone else say without doing any of your own actual thinking. I...

I did not write what you said this in response too, you did! Your wrote it in post #234 So, first of all Palms 33 does not use the Greek word Logos or any word in Hebrew that means the same thing as logos. Secondly, the English term "word" does not mean nor does it in any way "capture some of...

Are you saying that Adam and Eve weren't free until after they ate of the Tree? Say self-defeating things much? By your own statement, your answer cannot be authenticated. How is it even possible for people to say such things without noticing it? Gobbledygook. Excellent observation! But...

Not only temptation but actual evil is so endemic to our human existence that I think people often blur the line between the two and think that lust and envy are merely temptations rather than actual sins.

Yeah, I agree. It's definitely an instinctive thing. Part of our fallen flesh, I'd say. Perhaps there is some utility to it in some circumstances but it seems to me that it it is our duty to fight this instinct as best we can when discussing such as issues as whether or not it makes sense to say...

There are no other superior alternatives, as far as I can see! See what I did there? - Oh! I just did it again!

I say it again, WITHOUT qualification.. No translation is more authoritative than the original language. That isn't the reason I reject the term "word" as a proper English translation of "Logos". I reject it because the term "word" does not mean, to any English speaking person, anything...

God is not physical, God is Spirit. As such, He is not light in the physical sense of the term and saying that "God is light." is a figure of speech with a range of possible meanings not the least of which is "the 'light' of understanding" as in John 1:4-5.

You do not know what you're talking about. You are implicitly assigning a moral capacity to a mindless machine. The antichrist IS NOT a robot! Okay, that's it! That all, I am finished talking about this idiotic subject with morons! I just wrote the sentence "The antichrist IS NOT a robot!"...

Lon, I literally don't know what you are talking about. I honestly have no idea what point it is you are trying to make. I very much wish I hadn't asked you that last question because it enticed you to blaspheme your Lord and Savior in one breath and then in the next breath you changed the...

Stupid wouldn't apply. And I agree. It was a challenge getting it to answer as though I had asked a different question.
