It would depend on how you are using the word but generally no. It too is a concept. God Himself is Logic (Reason) and so the degree to which that is true it may be accurate to say that it is ontological but we aren't given sufficient information to say with certainty about that. In fact, I...

Said the irrational Catholic, bombastically! :ROFLMAO: That really did make me laugh out loud! I mean talk about hypocrisy! Wow! First of all my "pet theology" hasn't even one single hole that I am aware of at all, which is the major reason I believe it! If it did have a hole, I'd be...

OR you can just read it and take it to mean what it is obviously saying and that any ten year old child can understand.

No it isn't! What you are you even talking about? I read it in English and take it to mean what it plainly states. That is completely irrelevant to the point. I wasn't changing the subject to something eschatological. The point is that its still me! Take me out of this body and have me as a...

2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

When you go to Heaven, is it going to be a different person than you standing before God just because you'll be without your physical body? If your Mom or wife or best friend comes by will they not recognize who you are? I just cannot for the life of me understand the need to make the...

I meant what I said, Lon. You seem to grasp at whatever idea pops into your head first and twist it in inexplicable ways in order to make it work for your side of whatever point you happen to be making. There's no logic to it, there's no consistency in it whatsoever except that you are never...

Yes. Irrelevant. Santa Claus is not more real because millions of children believe that he's real. Irrelevant. The utility of an idea does not make it less of an idea and more of a material thing. Irrelevant. There is no such ontological thing as "free will". Free will is a concept not...

Yes, of course that's what I meant! I don't understand why I always get the two of you mixed up!

I agree with Right Divider. This entire post is just dumb! Seriously, Lon! You sound almost like you're drunk or something! You telling us that we don't get to have our cake and eat it too is so laughably hypocritical that it's tantamount to downright insanity. D.C. Comics couldn't come up with...

Yes, I got the point and looked it up at the time. Let's just say that it's a very uncommon way to use the term. In the end, your point was communicated and my point still stands.

If this wasn't the way it worked, then no one would get charged for a federal crime until after the President was out of office, if the prosecutor suspected that they might get a pardon from the President, which would render the Presidential power effectively moot.

Okay, so he equates exile with death. I'm not sure that I buy that conflation but even it if it is valid, I don't see how it's substantively different than being separated from God, especially in the light of the fact that the concept of spiritual death is communicated in several places...

I don't see your comment. What is the user name so I can search for it?

Actually, the Supreme Court ruled that a President can proactively pardon any federal crime that has been committed by anyone for any reason whether the crime has been charged or not. https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/71/333/

Immutability doesn't teach "no events". I agree that Augustinian immutability requires timelessness but that doesn't mean they're synonymous.

No. They're related but not the same. I'd say that timelessness is a corollary of immutability from within Augustinian/Calvinism thought but they are definitely not synonymous.

There are two Greek philosophical ideas that have had an inordinate impact on Christian doctrine over the centuries. Absolute immutability, where God cannot change in any way whatsoever Divine Timelessness, where God is not at all temporal and exists entirely outside of time We talk a lot...

He fails are far more than that. He's talking to you as if nothing I've ever written exists on this entire website! He isn't interested in even entertaining the notion that he may be missing something important. Let him have the fruits of his labor.

Bladerunner and probably at least one, maybe two others of you need to read the book linked to below because you're missing fully half of the gospel and producing fuel for the fire on judgement day with your works of the flesh.... Classic Christianity: Life's Too Short to Miss the Real Thing...
