Alright so, first of all, I'm very happy to discover that you didn't just disappear on us here and I appreciate your responses. I do, however, want to keep the discussion focused on one issue and so I'm not going to respond to this point for point as I normally would. Suffice it to say, as you...

So, I don't get it. What is it exactly about the questions I ask people that make them disappear off of the website? If I engaged the lunatic who doesn't think that prolific, public and repeated false prophecies doesn't falsify a religion even when the religion itself doesn't even try to...

Where'd Ps82 go?

Boy do you have a bent toward over complicating things. Wow! Much of what you say here may well be true but its way too far into the weeds. Let me just tell you what my answer to my own question would be and we can go from there. What is death and what does it mean to die, both physically and...

Not in dispute. Not in dispute. There is One God. God is One! God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. Saying it doesn't make it so. Conspiracy theorists on top of it all. Why am I not surprised. Which Catholic or council have you seen anyone on this website cite as evidence for the...

As I said, you are not a Christian. I do not discuss Christian doctrine with those who actively reject the gospel. Let me know if you repent but for now... Good bye!

Okay, so, first of all, thank you for your direct answer! It's sometimes surprisingly hard to get people to do that! Unfortunately, you've misunderstood my question. That isn't at all your fault though! My question wasn't framed as precisely as it could have been. Most everything you've said...

This is going to seem to come out of the clear blue sky and isn't precisely on topic for this thread but given what you've said, along with some unrelated discussions I've had recently with others, I want to ask you a question. I promise it isn't a trick question. I'm not trying to lay any traps...

You are not a Christian! The bible teaches that Jesus IS God! (John 1 and elsewhere). You are not saved. You will die in your sin unless you repent and believe! "if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.” - Jesus

Did you guys see the series about Scientology that Leah Ramini did a couple years ago? Whenever I see someone that just isn't permitting rational arguments to contact their mind on even relatively minor issues, it engenders the same reaction in me that I got when watching that show. How is it...

I get that but that isn't really what I'm asking. What I wonder about is what the motive for giving that answer is (i.e. within themselves)? How is, "Logic doesn't apply.", understood in their own minds as a better position to take than to say, "I can see now that this doctrine doesn't make...

I'd settle for a purely emotionally based explanation. I can't find any way at all to draw a line that connects the dots that get you from "god exists outside of time" to "my god is better than your god".

How does making a big deal about God existing outside of time accomplish that goal?

Okay, first of all, the grammar here needs work. I mean, its two whole sentences. Did you just for get the order in which you placed the three supposedly created things in the first sentence before you got to the end of the second? This sort of thing shows a lack of mental precision and is...

I often wonder what it is that makes someone so loyal to the idea that God exists outside of time. What is it that they get out of it?

Yes, well they had already tried to get the Romans involved a couple of times before. There was the question they asked Jesus about paying taxes and the episode with the woman caught in adultery. These were both situations intended to entrap Jesus with the Roman authorities and so, in Jesus'...

I miss Bob so much!

(y) Legitimacy in the eyes of the public, you mean? That was probably part of it, I'm sure but there's no real way to know, right? Regardless of their motives, I'm not sure that it could have gone down any other way once it was decided that rejection and death of their Messiah was the path...

That isn't relevant. They knew what they could get away with and what they couldn't. Maybe they had to bribe someone, maybe they already had someone on the pay roll, maybe they didn't care this time around and decided to ask forgiveness rather than permission. It doesn't matter. This was an...

There are indeed lots of details but the broad strokes are that God is not subject to the criminal justice laws that He has placed us under. Justice is God's cat, not ours, and He can skin it in the manner in which He sees fit.
