@blackSand If you do not start responding with some sort of substance that is directly related to the points made against your ridiculous doctrine then what's going to happen is that everyone is going to stop caring about anything you have to say. Nobody here knows you. Nobody here cares what...

You're delusional. What did I say that isn't self evident, that your entire post was unfalsifiable? How would anyone falsify it? Anything in the whole book of Revelation can be made into a symbol that means something altogether different than anything that one would get from simply reading the...

An antibody? How could it be an antibody?

As predicted, this lunatic will not respond with any substance to a single argument presented to him. It's all slight of hand and shifting black sand. He will IGNORE any, all and every single syllable of scripture that presents an explicit counter example. They do not exist if he refuses to see...

Well this is entirely unfalsifiable. I'm sorry, Arial, but if you actually think that this is a proper way of formulating doctrine then what in the world is the point of even discussing it with people? Why bother trying to make any of it make sense? Just believe whatever the heck you want and...

I couldn't make any sense of this at all! Revelation 7:3 “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.” Then the very next sentence.... Revelation 7:4 Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the...

I don't get it.

I'm always doing that! Why does my brain skip over the "not" or "n't"? Weird!

Excellent question! The short answer is that, first of all, the overwhelmingly vast majority of viruses do not cause disease and there was time when none of them did. That was certainly the case prior to Adam's fall but likely for some time after that as well. Also, most viruses that do cause...

It can't. However, the word "sin" in scripture does not always refer to a moral infraction. Any legal infraction is called "sin" and people were held guilty of the crime whether they were morally culpable or not. Even accidents were often dealt with legally, particularly if someone died as a...

@blackSand How many of these am I going to find?.... Numbers 5:5 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 6 “Speak to the children of Israel: ‘When a man or woman commits any sin that men commit in unfaithfulness against the Lord, and that person is guilty, 7 then he shall confess the sin which...

@blackSand, Leviticus 19:20 ‘Whoever lies carnally with a woman who is betrothed to a man as a concubine, and who has not at all been redeemed nor given her freedom, for this there shall be scourging; but they shall not be put to death, because she was not free. 21 And he shall bring his...

I agree but it really does matter just what you mean by the word "sin". Leviticus chapter 4 (and several other similar passages) do talk about blood sacrifices being made to atone for unintentional (i.e. amoral) sins. All such blood sacrifice was symbolic of Christ's coming death at Calvary...

Alright, it seems the dispensationalism tack has basically run its course. Let's do as Arial asks and just see whether this amillennialism idea can hold water on its own merits. Is it internally consistent? The answer to that question is definitely, "No, it isn't!" and one of the best ways I...

You are such a hypocrite!

Because there is no correlation. "Sin" can be used in more than one way. Moral infractions require intent but the law of Moses wasn't just about moral right and wrong, it was about civil justice and the societal rule of law. Thus, any infraction of the law was dealt with by the law so that you...

Nearly complete nonsense! The bible talks at length about unintentional breaking of the law (i.e. "sins") but the notion that sacrifices to remove guilt being a man made idea is laughably idiotic! Leviticus 6:1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2 “If a person sins and commits a trespass...

The whole thread is still here for the whole world to read, Arial! Right back at ya! Hypocrite! This was an INTENTIONAL LIE!!! Right back at ya! Hypocrite! It's all right here for us to read, Arial! I quote YOUR OWN WORDS and then respond directly to them. I am not the only one on TOL...

That's the stupidest accusation that I think anyone has ever leveled at me! If you want to be isolated? Just decide to become an Mid-Acts Dispensational Open Theist. If you slung 10,000 cats in all the Christian book stores that exist in your whole city, you'd never once get within ten miles...

Every post have been in direct response to your own words, Arial. Saying it doesn't make it so. No one is angry other than you. We are simply pointing out errors in the ideas you say you want to discuss. It seems you only want to discuss it with people who agree with it. You're only arguing...
