And yet, the moment the gospel is preached and a natural man hears it, he is no longer "without God." He may still reject God, but he is no longer "without" Him. This verse doesn't say what you want it to say. A person who doesn't know about God cannot seek Him, obviously. On the other...

Not like this it hasn't, and NEVER has a vaccine been pushed out the door with such a lack of testing. The mandates that were enacted were tyrannical, and went against what has been standard practice for the past 3500 years, which is to quarantine the sick, and let the healthy go about their...

I seem to recall Jesus being not too happy with the publicans... And you claim to be a RE-publican. I'm not sure how that's at all relevant to what I said, or this thread, for that matter. Irrelevant to who leads a nation, if it's laws are unjust, and/or if its legal system is inherently...

None of what you say comes from the Bible.

Meaningless nonsense. That a person can have faith is because Christ came and died for him. It is BECAUSE God offers the gift of salvation to anyone that puts their faith in him that we can have faith. This verse doesn't support your position.

WHICH church? There are at least TWO in the New Testament. Conflating them only brings confusion. So what? Can't Christ be those things WITHOUT those things being the same thing? Neither of these passages support your position. The New Covenant was made SPECIFICALLY with Israel, not "men."

Any system that requires the use of lawyers to make sense of the law is inherently unjust, because it means that the law is being used as a weapon against the innocent. The government has no right to educate children, nor to provide a means for families to send their children off to government...

FALSE. None of these passages affirm the false teaching that the Body of Christ is Israel.

It's not false. And again, if it's not free, then it's not a will. No. Again, free will is not a superpower. Just because a man is free to choose doesn't mean he can save himself. The verse doesn't say what you want it to say. Thank God that He provided light, and that His gospel enables...

No, it's not. You say it in error. No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't promote that. The verse doesn't say what you want it to say, nor does it contradict the concept of wills being free. God being able to do what He pleases does not mean that man's will is not free. The verse doesn't say...

If you throw a stone at a pack of dogs, the one that yelps is the one that got hit. Except A) it's not illogical, because B) the Bible was written by God, the ULTIMATE authority, and thus, there is nothing inherently wrong with appealing to God, the Authority. He, quite literally, wrote the...

Duh. A scientist is a person who conducts scientific research to advance knowledge in an area of interest. In other words, anyone can be a scientist by simply doing research to advance knowledge in an area of interest. That includes the drunk, above. Who are you to discount his knowledge...

I have edited post #772 with additional thoughts regarding the "drunk vs expert" false dilemma posited by Skeeter.

Mechanisms for what? Saying it doesn't make it so.

Again, correlation does not equal causation. Supra. Who said anything about attention? What matters is the claim being made, not who makes it. If you're biased towards the expert, then when the expert is wrong, and the drunk is right, you'll reject what the drunk says, despite him being...

Humans are closer, genetically, to neandertals than a chimp is to another chimp. Nope. Just because similar lines of code are used in a program from another program doesn't mean that the two programs are related. This begs the question that there is something to have mutations occur in...

Ruling out impossibilities is how you do science. You can't get to that point without investigating claims. You can't do that if you're making appeals to popularity or making genetic fallacies. Generally speaking, humans are pretty capable at understanding things when they put their minds to...

No, that's a genetic fallacy. The truth of a claim is not dependent on who makes the claim. The quality of the claimant has nothing to do with whether a claim is true or false. This absolute claim is self-contradictory. This is the second absolute claim in a sentence where you deny that...

No, because the Bible says so. You're still not getting it. The "converted Jews," who were part of the New Covenant, are long dead. Presently, and since Paul's encounter with Christ on the road to Damascus, where he became the first Christian, there are NO members of the New Covenant alive...

What are you even talking about? Jesus Christ came and died for all men. The gospel of grace preached enables a man to believe (or choose not to believe) in Christ for Salvation. It's as simple as that. The belief is a RESPONSE to Christ coming and dying. It's not a spontaneous act. A man...
