Nice! I had forgotten about that verse! John's writings are just amazing on this topic. "The glory I had with you before the world was". "pro ho kosmos einai". Literally, "Before the universe existed". I wonder which Dartman will choose? Will he move along and pretend that you didn't quote...

Just one more in the seemingly endless line of worthless trolls that don't know how to have a rational discussion, who aren't interested in actual debate, and couldn't respond to a substantive argument against their doctrine if their life depended on it (which it does). How completely boring.

You miss the point. Probably my fault. Jesus, the Man, is subject to the Father. No one denies that. The fact that the Logos, the second person of the Trinity, became a man (and remains a man to this day, by the way) isn't affected by the fact that Jesus submitted Himself to the Father. In...

No, it is "reason". The word does have a sphere of meaning that is nuanced by the context in which it is used but its meaning is all but identical to the English word "reason". Much more than that! That, in fact, is such a shallow thing to say that it's very nearly meaningless. Fools use words...

Like I said, why bother reading the bible in the first place. You're willing, not only to ignore what it says but when it directly contradicts your doctrine to a point that it cannot be denied in any rational manner, you simply find an excuse to cut it out of the bible. Why bother with all this...

Kettles and pots! Which is true. He was also the Creator and was with God in the beginning and was God. So says the Apostle John. ...than God the Father. He is a separate person, even more so in His human condition. Now who's reading into the scripture? There's no way that you don't know...

Logos does not mean "words". It means "reason" and, in the Greek context in which John was using it, it was referring to the intelligence that created and sustains existence. Regardless of the meaning of the word "logos", John explicitly states that he is talking about God, the Creator of...

Lying doesn't count as an argument. 1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. Since you're not here to actually debate anyone and no amount of scripture would move you an inch, one verse is all you get, which...

I don't think that block chain tech is nearly secure enough for people to be comfortable with it being used for personal information. Remember that I have on my hard drive right now a piece of "art" that some idiot paid several million dollars for and I downloaded it entirely legally and...

I was sent that graphic just two days ago by a friend of mine and then you posted something about this thread and, when I read the opening post, I realized it fit and so couldn't resist posting it. :) I don't remember Heterodoxical. He seems like someone I would get along with. It's too bad...

Excellent point! Imagine the confusion that would result if the bible did say it! Try for a moment to reconcile the idea that God makes you believe something with the following verse... James 2:19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!

I never suggested you were either wrong or right about the accusation. If you thought I did, its because you were too busy being offended to think clearly. The entire point I was making is that Calvin was not a murderer because you showed up here to call him one. Do you think you're the first...

Assuming the video is real, it was almost certainly faulty ammo. Even if that isn't the case, ammo that fires outside a gun isn't nearly as dangerous as the same bullet being fired from a gun. This is because, instead of most of the energy going to accelerate the bullet, the energy is simply...

Idiotic nonsense that pretty much ONLY Calvinists believe and that is NOT taught anywhere in the bible, including in the verses cited in b57's post! If you haven't noticed it yet, that's true of practically every passage b57 cites! They never seem to actually say whatever it is b57 is trying to...

Now see! That's called "citing your source" and is a terrific step in the right direction! It would have been better both for you and for those who are participating here if you had taken the time to spell out at least some of the specifics yourself, but something's better than nothing. Let's...

You're ridiculous. The occasional opinion peppered here and there is nothing that anyone has any problem with but you consistently fail to make any sort of argument even when your accusing me of being a hypocrite! Do you actually believe that the fact that you've shown up here to call me a...

The truth has no defense against the fool who is determined to believe a lie. (That's a quote of someone. I forget who.)

So says you. Maybe you're right, maybe not. Maybe its relevant to the discussion at hand, maybe it isn't. One thing's for sure... SAYING IT DOESN'T MAKE IT SO! If you don't want to make an argument where you provide some sort of substance behind your personal opinions, don't bother...

If that were true you'd not post your mere opinions as though your having stated them proves them true. The point is that I'm trying to get you to make an actual argument that supports your claims. That's the whole point of being here. Your personal opinions, in and of themselves, are a waste...
