John 3 as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have...

What God did not give us God didn't tell us what rights we have in Scripture. The only mention of rights are the ones that Paul claimed for himself as a citizen of Rome, these were rights, they were legal rights, and they were political rights. (The seed of the idea of inalienable rights...

Which is it?

That's a statement of faith then.

I'm not doing that.

A legal right is distinguished from other types of rights, like probably the ones you're thinking of, human or universal or natural rights. Legal rights are codified in laws. There was a legal right to own slaves in this country not long ago, it wasn't a human right, and it shouldn't have been...

Nor does history sustain it. And if the generation who lived with the Apostles and who lived immediately after the Apostles did not understand what the Apostles taught, then who are we to believe anything the Apostles said or wrote? And especially if the bishops created by the Apostles and...

Bell's Theorem has never been falsified, which means possibly that uncertainty is elemental to the universe, just as much as are photons and electrons and quarks and other particles. I say 'possibly,' because the other possibility is that the observed uncertainty is actually God pulling the...

You have to identify logically the type of evidence to look for that would, if it exists, be inconsistent with the idea that the starlight we see actually originated with the supposed stars that it supposedly emanates from. The type of evidence that would be inconsistent with this would be that...

No change.

OK. Fair enough.

I think that God created the stars and the light that 'comes from' them all at once. Meaning that light 'originating' from stars, was created in place billions of light years away from the stars it putatively 'came from.' Idunno.

Bump for @Lon

Nobody asked you and nobody needs your permission or approval either. Sorry for your confusion.

Googol will not let me get on on Tor. 'Says it can't be sure I'm not a bot. Idunno.

Brazil used to be the murder /murderer capital of the world, it might still be. Not per capita, but in absolute numbers, Brazil had the most murderers in their population in the whole world. Per capita it's something like Jamaica.
