    On the omniscience of God

    Until that post I responded too, all I ever saw him post was political stuff. What in the world would have gotten him perma-banned? (You don't have to answer that!)

    Is death just another life?

    I wasn't asking you who taught you. I thought I made that clear, didn't I? Because the bible seems to clearly teach it by a plain reading of the test. That isn't at all what I was asking. Anyone with half a brain would say that. I'm asking what the basis of this doctrine is. You are THE ONLY...

    Is death just another life?

    I would respond to that by saying that there isn't any reason other than your doctrine to move the commas around. If you can make a grammatical argument (i.e. based on the actual text) then I'm all ears but otherwise it's an exercise in question begging. (Did you notice that I left out all the...

    Is death just another life?

    Who cares where they were? Maybe one was in Florida and the other in Washington D.C. What does it matter? The point is that there were awake and experiencing things and talking back and forth after they died! That would be hard to do if your definition of death is, "no life in them or any part...

    Is death just another life?

    @Derf, What do you do with what Jesus told the criminal who was being crucified next to Him? Luke 23:43 And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.” Doesn't that single sentence destroy your whole idea about what death is and how "there's no life in...

    On the omniscience of God

    Ever thought that the reason you can't use human language to explain it is because it makes no sense? It is truly impossible to fathom the self-contradictory. If it is so ineffable then why do you believe it? That's a real question, RWR. Why do you believe it? It just bugs the crap out of me...

    Protestantism was falsified here on TOL

    You're arguing against yourself! There isn't one syllable of that gibberish that a protestant couldn't have said against you! Swap out the word "Protestant" with "Catholic" and how would you respond to it? Any response you would make would be equally valid in the mouth of a Protestant. Why...

    Why are Christians embracing Evolution?

    It is entirely clear that the bible teaches that the heavens, the earth and everything else was created in six days. It says so EXPLICITLY... Exodus 20:11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them.... Exodus 31:17 It is a sign between Me and the...

    On the omniscience of God

    Excellent! The omni doctrines are actually derivations from Greek philosophy, not the bible. It's a rather rare find to discover someone willing to allow the bible's plain teaching to over ride the popular doctrines. To sum up what you've said... God has the power, skill, intelligence and...

    Why are Christians embracing Evolution?

    Are you suggesting here that we do not have actual spirits but that what we call our "spirit" is some sort of undefined "life force"? I'm not saying you ARE suggesting that, by the way. It's a real question. Is that what you mean by what you said here?

    Why are Christians embracing Evolution?

    That's fine by me! There is no such thing as a real Christian who denies the death of Jesus Christ nor is there any such thing as a real Christian who believes that Jesus ever ceased to exist. Also, there are Christians who believe all sorts of wacky things because they are taught to believe...

    Why are Christians embracing Evolution?

    On the contrary! It is absolutely necessary. It is, in fact, foundational to the whole of the Christian faith! You don't understand. It isn't as though we "came up" with this definition. That is the definition. At least, that is what the bible is talking about whenever it talks about death...

    Why are Christians embracing Evolution?

    Any Christian that defines death as a separation would do so correctly. When you are spiritually separated from God you are spiritual dead. When your spirit separates from your physical body you are physically dead. Jesus died in both ways at Calvary. (Matthew 27:46 & John 19:30) When those...

    Magnetic Poles Are Moving Rapidly as Never Before

    In what way is the GPS system "based upon a fairly stationary location for the North Pole" as is claimed in the article? The GPS system is based on good time keeping and triangulation. It has nothing to do with the magnetic poles. Also, the article talks about the equator being "30 degrees...

    The core of Liberalism

    It's the fact that its true that makes it funny. People laughed not because it wasn't true but because it came as a surprise to hear someone say it out loud.

    Global Warming - a leftist delusion

    No doubt he has the ability but people can be plenty evil on their own and, in my view, it's best not to make claims or accusations that you cannot substantiate. Even if it happens to be true, someone who doesn't want to be convinced will latch on to whatever it is that can't be substantiated...

    Global Warming - a leftist delusion

    What makes you think they're actually concerned about the weather? The liberals in the coffee shop might be but the ones in power couldn't care less about the climate and I very much doubt that any of them think that the climate is headed for anything remotely at catestrophic as they say...

    Received because Given !

    This argument makes no sense! Christ didn't bring Lazarus back from nonexistence, He simply had Lazarus return to his physical body. More accurately, Jesus commanded Lazarus to return to his body and "come forth" from the grave. The processes involved are, perhaps, items of interest and...
