Of course He would want to! Do you think He would have failed to avoid the death of His Son had He had such an alternative? But the death of His Son was NECESSARY precisely because God had no alternative except to allow us all to die in our sin. It was necessary because God is not a magician...

Saying is doesn't make it so.

God stands as Three in One. Thus, His testimony is already so corroborated. Having said that, I would also say that just because a doctrine can be established with a single biblical sentence, does not imply that it is THE only biblical sentence on the subject. Further, the veracity of the...

Yes, that's exactly how I intended to word it. Did you have to edit it for me? :)

Well, regardless, my point is simply that the Emancipation Proclamation was not the "sad document" that the OP makes it out to be. Such documents and speeches and other "largely symbolic gestures" aren't quite as symbolic as they might seem. The written and spoken word is how leaders lead, it...

Would you agree that God cannot change the past? Clete

The problem for you is not only that this entire thread is still right here for the whole world to read but that we are the one's who have provided an actual argument which you, and those who seem to agree with your position, have REFUSED to offer a single solitary syllable in refutation of...

What in the world are you talking about? Just because there are several doctrines that don't need more than a single sentence to establish, doesn't mean that any single sentence you pick at random establishes any doctrine you care to dream up. Clete

Liar.

👏 I just wanted to highlight those two sentences because it was just so well said. It's as if Arthur and others like him don't understand what logic is or what it means to be rational. Very frustrating! All we are really saying is that God is real and that He is, therefore, incapable of...

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Exodus 20:13 “You shall not murder. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. That's just three but just a little effort...

No, its not! Adam did die in that 24 hour period! You're the one who's saying he didn't die. In fact, by your definition of death, Adam didn't die at all until some 930 years later. No it isn't. A day is a day unless the context demands otherwise. Saying it doesn't make it so. I don't deny...

Not in the south it wouldn't have! I don't know what you think the civil war was fought over but it wasn't the price of cheese. The abolition of slavery was going to throw a really big wrench in the economy of the south and the south didn't want that to happen and they seceded from the United...

The problem for you here is two fold. First of all your definition is not more directly apparent in the text than is mine. On the contrary, I've established the biblical veracity of my position more than once already. Second, Adam DID NOT die according to your definition of death until several...

(y) Yes, well I suppose some "wacky" doctrines may boil down to mere differences of opinion but usually not. Not in the way I am meaning it, anyway. There are lots of doctrines that absolutely do not make any sense and not even those who believe in them think that they make any sense. They...

Race based slavery was not an American idea. I was not new during the Civil War, nor even when the United States was founded and had certain compromises not been made, America would not have abolished slavery at all (not for at least another whole generation, anyway). Had Lincoln failed to...

Well, like I said... "Straining out gnats." By your definition of "mindless" there isn't anything anyone ever does that is mindless.

I was not being snarky at all. I meant precisely what I said and wasn't trying to be sarcastic or insulting, although I can see why you might have read it in that way. My intention was merely to make an observation. No, that's what the word "mindless" means. Certainly it is based on nothing...

It is true! "Believe what we tell you to believe!" is precisely what which doctors do to those who follow them. It is exactly what the local con artist asks you to do when they "read" your palm. It isn't about actual science where what they believe is the result of asking real questions, doing...

Funny how you say it isn't completely true and then give a counter example that is completely in keeping with what you said wasn't completely true.
