There wasn't that much. You just don't want to respond, because you know it completely blows whatever complaint you have against Scripture out of the water. Try reading the whole thing, and responding to each of the points I made. I dare you. I reject the "popular conception" of God. I...

So you're now retracting this? Or are you going to continue in your contradiction? No one is doing that. Uh. No. For one, your claim isn't even close to what the doctrine of the Trinity teaches. And more importantly, it's not what the Bible teaches either. For example: And now, O...

Or, you know, step in yourself to defend the innocent... Because police aren't always going to show up, let alone quickly.

If two vegans have a quarrel, is it still called beef?

People who claim that the "fossil record" is evidence of evolution are missing the forest for the trees, because in actuality, the "fossil record" is evidence for a global flood and a young earth.

*SoT :)

It's because we care about truth.

So alienate whites by telling them they're racist and need to be kicked out of their nation, then get mad at them when they don't vote for you. Do I have that correct? What a bunch of morons.

Not sure if you saw the above posts, Clete. Clete, if you have the time (and you'd probably need a lot of it, given how much has been said so far in this thread), I would love to have you share your thoughts and opinions specifically on the conversation between Derf and I on the topic of the...

"Well there's your problem!" Supra, the problem is not taking the story literally. The problem is your a priori assumptions and definitions of words. You'd have a great argument, if you weren't straw manning. The story makes perfect sense when taken literally. It's your a priori...

If it was made perfect, yes. Perfection is not based on beauty, though things that are perfect are almost if not always beautiful. Indeed, paper is a poor substance with which to make a vase from, but putting water in it doesn't change the fact that it was a perfect vase for what it was, a...

He's accusing God of kidnapping Adam (and Eve, whom as far as I can tell, hadn't been created yet) and locking them in the garden as a form of prison. The paragraph immediately following the text you quoted:

The former.

This is why you don't venerate a human being above her actual status, regardless of her role in history.

No one said you were a Calvinist. What I said is that everything you're arguing against is Calvinism/Arminianism, or what we collectively call the "settled view." Clete, RD, and I are all Open Theists. We believe the future is open, and that God is free, and that He created free moral agents...

It appears Clete beat me to the punch, and he says a lot of things that I say in my post. Feel free to skip them in your reply to me and address them them in your reply to him. The original creation God made was indeed perfect. God's will was not imperfect. It was and is perfect. So God...

False. No, Plato got that wrong. If I swing a baseball bat at a perfect glass vase, do you not expect it to shatter? Because you say so?
