What is hard for you is not so hard for God. Exactly! So why do you answer your own question? Not really. I'm mean, sure, its completely amazing and worthwhile to ponder and stand in awe of but is it really that hard to comprehend that a God who is Love itself is capable of such an act...

Well, I give you high marks for having a firm understanding of what you believe, why you believe it and the ability to articulate it. I won't debate this here just so as to avoid "leaving the conversation at hand" as you put it. I'll simply say that at first blush, it seems to me that you'd have...

You're as dogmatic as someone I once knew here on TOL with a very similar user name only he made as many actual argument as he did bald claims and responded to my arguments with actual counter arguments rather than simply repeating his position as though I had said nothing.

The question answers itself. Oh brother! Here we go! It would have been nice had you done some thinking before putting this particular collection of words together. There was no vast empty void of space until God created it. Just sayin'.. NO! God COULD NOT love us more than He loves Himself...

Wow! So you believe that almost no modern Christian is saved. The whole of the Baptist denomination is accursed as well as pretty much every other sect of Christianity that exists. Paul, in Galatians, is not talking about their salvation but of their walk... Galatians 3:3 Are you so foolish...

All systems will have flaws, yes, but the system being discussed here wasn't proposed lightly. Israel didn't really demand much of a move. It was not a fundamental change in the form of government, it was merely the installation of a king to preside over the system they already had. The reason...

No, of course they weren't. The attacks, such as actually existed, were instigated by people who have admitted that they are members of ANTIFA but you wouldn't know that because you get your "news" from propaganda sources.

Hopeless. How do you combat a whole society that is this convinced that lies are the truth? You can't. For now, the right has lost and it will continue to lose unless and until we get to a place were we aren't willing to allow the left to lie and cheat, which will never happen in our lifetimes.

Saying it doesn't make it so. A little leavin leavins the whole lump. We started the U.S. with about 1/6th of the government being democratically elected by the people. The House of Representatives was the only half of one of the three branches of government that had its members elected by...

Well, its not quite that but your point is well taken! Almost any form of government is superior to one where the majority can trample the rights of any minority it chooses.

You keep riding the fence. Do you accept that they are, in essence, the same thing or don't you? You start by effectively acknowledging that they are and then trying to hedge your position but your hedge only restates what I've already said which is that the only difference between science and...

This whole statement betrays a woeful ignorance of the biblical material There is nothing that suggests that the Earth was created a solid hunk of rock and there is absolutely nothing in the text of Genesis that is the least bit "inconsistent with dinosaurs being excluded from..." Noah's Ark...

The rule of law is NOT a democratic institution and a constitutional monarchy is anything but democratic. Indeed, a central premise of the proposed form of government is precisely about eliminating democracy altogether. Democracy is corrosive to justice and the rule of law. Authority does not...

Gullible moron! There is no such thing as a real Trump supporter that would say or do anything of the sort. The right wants to persuade you by engaging your mind. They aren't interested in forcing you to act as if they're right and their instinct is the opposite of hanging their political...

As if there was ever any question that he was going to do anything else. Complete delusional stupidity!

The last four plus years of the totally lunatic derangement that the left has displayed concerning Trump as well as the total over reaction to Covid-19 during 2020 reminds me of a book I read years ago called, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds by Charles Mackay. It's an...

Those saved under the dispensation of grace are no longer under God's law nor even sin itself and absolutely will not receive any punishment whatsoever for anything. That, however, is only true because the punishment we deserve has already been suffered by Christ. With that singular exception...

I would say that this seems like a false dichotomy. Your premise here is that we need to have a king who is above the law in order to teach people that God exists and that all of creation, including the king, will stand before Him on judgment day. I don't believe that is the case at all. We...

I'm not sure what you think you're trying to pull here. Not only is the entire thread is still here for the world to see, Derf, but our discussion doesn't yet take up thirty posts of this thread. You have not posted one single link to anything in any response to me. You've posted an @ Hilltrot...

Quite so! That's precisely what I think would be a wise thing to do before getting started on rolling dice. I'm saying to make random selection from a pool of qualified people rather than from the whole population.
