If you held the analogy together, it isn't that there aren't any dominoes because events have causes, but rather that there is more than one domino that certain previous dominoes can knock over. In the open view, some dominoes (i.e. people) have the ability to choose which domino falls next...

That is not what the term "sovereign" means to anyone other than Augustinians (i.e. Catholics and Calvinists mostly). The word simply does not mean "control freak". It means "highest authority". God is the highest authority that exists. He has delegated authority to many creatures for several...

The bible seems to say otherwise.

There is no biblical evidence that Jesus bore the "image" of God while on Earth. There was no need. He had a physical body. There is also no biblical evidence that the visible manifestations of God prior to the incarnation were anyone other than He who would became Jesus - God the Son.

The sea is actually paralleled with death and condemnation and sin. This is why (well, one of the reasons anyway) there will be no oceans on the New Earth. In what way is any of that thinking outside of the box? God wasn't blind before He created light. He is light! (Note that light is NOT...

Define the word "sovereign"?

No. Exodus 20:11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. That includes the angels. Before the creation week, God was all that existed.

This feels like someone trying to have it both ways. It just isn't this complicated. He whom we call "Jesus" is THE Creator God - period. He became a human being at the incarnation and grew His human body inside Mary's womb. He DID NOT have a human body before the incarnation - period. He DID...

I was a rhetorical question! Go back and read the context. It made perfect sense.

That goes for me as well. 😞

Oh. My apologies to Bladerunner! I can't keep track of who said what sometimes!

He wasn't even actually asking a question. He was making a point based on your previous statements. That point being that, according to your logic, Jesus would not be perfect. A perfectly obvious point that any third grade child could have followed. Are you really this incapable of following a...

Silly argument.

Speculation is fine so long as we keep the fact that its speculation firmly in mind. The Christian community can sometimes be a bit too eager to adopt new theories based on the slightest of "evidence". As for this chunk of steel, why couldn't it simply have formed naturally in some underground...

Short on time so this will be short and sweet. Just a question, really... It seems to me that the firmament, which God called heaven, is what we call the atmosphere, where birds fly above the surface of the Earth. Gen 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature...

Regardless, even if such a dome were translucent to seismic waves (which does seem plausible), it certainly would not be perfectly transparent and thereby undetectable. If it existed, we could tell. To date, there is no evidence that it exists. Further, I'm not sure that a three foot think...

I've read the opening post - nothing else. If there is a specific point someone wants me to weigh in on, please give me a post # or copy/paste it in a new post or whatever..... In response to the opening post, the major problem I see with the idea that there is this enormous steel dome that is...

This is a true statement but your argument is based on the converse of this. God is life but life is not God. Indeed, even the statement, "God is life." is a statement that we really don't have a good grasp of. God isn't just alive, God is life itself. God isn't just loving, God is love. God...

I was hoping that something like this was the case. You'd be surprised how many people just up and disappear on me as soon as the discussion gets to anything interesting and so I wrongly thought that it had happened again. I'm very glad to find that I was wrong about that!

You are not one of the lunatics. Specifically, I was alluding to the JW that was here trying to argue that Jesus was "a god" and not THE God. JW's are lunatics. ALL of them. Totally a waste of time to discuss anything with them online.
