What information are you talking about? How do you know this? Is a spirit a "program"? That doesn't mean we're anything like a computer program. It seems to me that just about the only thing we have in common with any sort of computer is that our basic biology functions via a language based...

I mostly agree. Lots of people who get saved hobble their spiritual growth by thinking that they have to follow a bunch of rules to grow their relationship with God and to maintain it. These folks can get quite self-righteous to the point of being obnoxiously legalistic. Church of Christ folks...

There are lots of Calvinists that I'd have to agree with you who have believed a false gospel. A fairly large percentage of Calvinists who show up on web forums such as this definitely fall into that category but I don't think it's safe to say that the average pew sitting Christian at a...

I understand your point and am telling you that it doesn't follow. Who raised the dead other that God Himself? Who is Jesus other than God Himself? Further, Jesus Himself stated "“Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” Who is the "I" in that sentence other than Jesus...

You are talented at taking what is said and interpreting it in some ridiculously extreme way. I wasn't within a thousand miles of suggesting that we should attempt to be some version of Mr. Spock. There is a time and a place for emotion. Formulating one's doctrine is not one of them. Premise 1...

Not sure that follows. Do not angels have the ability to interact with the physical?

It doesn't. You do reject God but have demonstrated an ability to understand the truth as presented in God's word and by doing so testify against yourself.

I recommend guarding against rejecting a proposition based on your emotional reactions rather than a dispassionate analysis of what is actually being said. Such emotionalism is the purview of women and children. The open view is about being two things.... 1. Strictly biblical. 2. Strictly...

The disciples didn't even understand that He was going to rise from the dead! Jesus told them as much but they didn't get it. They didn't even believe that He was going to die, much less rise from the dead and to whatever extent they might have been hopeful of such an eventuality, they didn't...

I can't imagine anyone taking it to mean suicide but I've seen crazier things than that! I strongly disagree here. Jesus took up His own life again and thus rose Himself from the grave by His own power. Our resurrection will be something that happens to us by God's power and so it...

All of the omni-doctrines are overstatements of the truth. Omnipresence is no exception. Biblically, God can simultaneously be everywhere He wants to be. He is not required to be anywhere, nor can He be forced to go to, or to stay in, any particular place. And, what should go without having to...

Yes it is exactly the correct translation! See! How it easy it is to make bald claims?! Here's the actual argument..... The Greek word παντοκράτωρ (pantokrátōr) translates to "Almighty" or "All-Powerful" in English. It combines panto- (meaning "all" or "every") and krátōr (meaning "ruler" or...

That's as far as you got before making your first error. Knowing every possible move does not imply knowing every move that will be made and thus it is not omniscience. Having the ability to stop anything doesn't imply either a need, a requirement nor even the willingness to do so. Further...

Excellent quote! She is too generous to Lewontin though. At best, he's honest about being dishonest. Anyone who was actually honest would find something else to do rather than continuing to take money to finance what is known to be a scientific dead end.

Making a claim is easy. Proving it is something else entirely. In short... Saying it doesn't make it so!

How so? Show me the syllogism. Further, it isn't my logic. Jesus laid down His own life. He did it willingly and had He not submitted Himself to it, no one would have been able to play a finger on Him. John 10:17 “Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it...

I'm not harping and my response to your post is based on the fact that our respective posts make the same point. That passage in Ezekiel is like a phantom passage, SoT. There isn't 10% of Christianity that even knows that it exists and nearly all of those who do know that it exists, ignore it...

Laughable insanity!!!! Hopefully no one bothers to read it. Jesus didn't just heal people, He rose HIMSELF from the dead! John 10:17 “Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. 18 No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay...

Stupidity. Curing congenital blindness in 30 seconds or less is in accordance with the laws of nature? Raising people from the dead is in accordance with the laws of nature? Raising one's self from the dead is in accordance with the laws of nature? You're too stupid for words! Of course it...

I wrote the post immediately prior to this one before I read the post quoted above. All I can say is, you are without excuse! Wow! I'd be shaking in my boots of I were you. I mean you're in BIG trouble! Like, REALLY big!
