    Allegory/Symbolism in Genesis 1

    You're hysterics won't get you anywhere other than on my ignore list. The reason you aren't smart enough to know what energy is, is because you think its a thing instead of an idea. Energy is simply action and reaction. The reason a scientist will tell you that energy is work, is because that's...

    Allegory/Symbolism in Genesis 1

    Yes, very much so. Stupidity. Is this really how you do theology? Is this really the process you used to form your doctrine? If so, there is no wild-eyed insanity that is outside the grasp of your belief system. Romans 1:20 is referencing the obviously designed nature of the created order...

    On the omniscience of God

    I have a really hard time believing that you don't understand the difference between an idea and something that exists independently. Let's take it step by step though... There can be no such thing as either language or semantics without logic and so no, neither of those things precede logic...

    Allegory/Symbolism in Genesis 1

    How about if Jesus Himself says so? Revelation 22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last. That's one of four separate times that Jesus refers to Himself in this exact manner.

    Allegory/Symbolism in Genesis 1

    "Pure Energy"? Terrific 1980s song! The "pure energy" line is a sample of something Spock said in the Star Trek episode "Errand of Mercy" (S1 E26) (Click the link above to hear the song!) That too would depend on just what you mean by "energy", which can actually get quite complicated and...

    Allegory/Symbolism in Genesis 1

    You guys are talking about two different kinds of "light". God is not electromagnetic radiation.

    On the omniscience of God

    Saying it doesn't make it so, CCoburn. Not only can there not be any truth without reason because the concept of truth is predicated on reason but there isn't any way to know ANYTHING at all without reason because knowing IS reason. Even if you didn't think it through in formal terms or even in...

    On the omniscience of God

    Who cares whether its a noun or not? I don't understand your pointing out the grammatical designation. Are you suggesting that the fact that the English words "time" and "space" are nouns that therefore they exist ontologically? The term "Mad Hatter" is a noun. It happens to be a proper noun...

    On the omniscience of God

    Time is not a place that can be existed outside of, it is an idea. The concept of existence presupposes the concept of duration. The concept of duration (and it's corollary - sequence) is all time is. Thus, the idea of existence outside of time is a contradiction and therefore a fantasy. Same...

    On the omniscience of God

    The term "irrational numbers" doesn't just apply to the square root of negative numbers but to also to numbers like π where its an endless, non-repeating list of decimals. The use the word "irrational" is not being used in the philosophical sense of the word. It's basically just a title. It...

    Who Justifieth the Ungodly

    Notice how the verses he cites don't say anything about the doctrine he spouted in the opening sentence? He might as well have quoted some passage from Gone With the Wind. Doctrine: "God is an arbitrary ogre that cannot choose to change his mind!" Proof: “Life's under no obligation to give us...

    Paul did not write Hebrews; we do not know who did

    Constantly mischaracterizing things is a form of lying, especially when you've been repeatedly corrected, which means that it's intentional. Lair. No it absolutely was not. You're such a fool. It's hard to even accept that you're even a Christian at all. Yes it was/is. It's capital city was...

    Paul did not write Hebrews; we do not know who did

    I haven't ignored anything. I haven't suggested that anyone ignore anything. You knew that when you wrote this. You are therefore a liar. So much for fools who claim sinless perfection. That's true of those in the Body of Christ. It was not true of those in the Kingdom, who were of Israel...

    On the omniscience of God

    Can you not see that whatever led to the conclusion, "there must be some truth that outlines a process of the ineffable that goes beyond reason" was itself an attempt as using the very thing you just stated "leads you into a wall"? The conclusion, "there must be some truth that outlines a...

    On the omniscience of God

    Meaningless, self-contradictory gibberish. By what means is reason "augmented"? There was no before God! Are you incapable of saying even one sentence that doesn't contradict your own stated beliefs?! Mindless stupidity. Nonsense. Then why accept this nonsense about your made up god...

    Paul did not write Hebrews; we do not know who did

    This is the sort of flippant stupidity that got you ignored in the first place. Are you simply incapable of substantive discussion? The believers that Paul wrote too were all in the same group as you and I and so they apply directly. The epistles written by Peter, James and John were written to...

    On the omniscience of God

    Then you're an idiot. You might have stated with equal validity that, "I can not utter a word in English." No truth claim can be falsified in any way other than sound reason - period. If sound reason doesn't work, no knowledge is possible. This is not only false its stupidity. And I mean, by...

    On the omniscience of God

    Well, I have to admit that this is better than I expected. You're far ahead of most who show up here saying the sorts of things you've been saying. The vast majority never bother to acknowledge that the question was ever asked, much less actually offer an answer. This, however, does not solve...

    Paul did not write Hebrews; we do not know who did

    No one here would ever suggest that there isn't anything to learn from the books of the bible that weren't written by Paul. The entire Old Testament, the teachings of Jesus in the Gospels and the New Testament books from Hebrews through Revelation are all scripture and "profitable for teaching...
