Posting the OP was premature. It was incomplete. Here is a revised version that more completely makes the argument... What is morality? Morality is a code of values to guide one’s choices and actions, the choices and actions that determine the purpose and the course of his life. To speak...

Lie Lie Intentional lie Three trikes and you're out. Good bye!

Goofy stupidity. We still have the text in its original language and it's been translated hundreds of times in hundreds of different languages by scores of different sets of people for as many different reasons. It has been preserved - by God - in such a way as the corruption you suggest...

Liar.

Your Oneness Pentecostalism is showing, and it’s not a good look. This kind of hyper-suspicious, revisionist nonsense is textbook cult mentality. The idea that true Christianity vanished after the apostles and magically re-emerged with your group isn’t just arrogant, it’s embarrassingly idiotic...

Yes it is. The first three sentences are true. The rest is more or less made up nonsense that ignores whole swaths of scripture. The solitary fact anyone needs to know to explode what you've said here into dust is simply that the Body of Christ and Israel are not the same thing. Entirely...

This is a false - and quite Catholic - manner of INTERPRETING this passage. The fact of the matter is that it is not even possible to read without interpreting what you've read. That's how language works. The very act of reading it is the act of interpreting the text. Peter is not saying that...

Your counter argument is literal blasphemy, Idolater! Jesus' death had first person witnesses that people actually interacted with and knew the character of. Both Jesus' death and resurrection were attested to, not merely by those who stood to benefit from it, but from many who had no direct...

In what way does the phrase "interpret the bible" equate with "what you want it to say"? You seem to be conflating "interpretation" with "distortion". To study the Bible is to interpret it. The very act of reading a text and trying to understand its meaning in context, what the author...

This idiotic claim is false by Catholicism's OWN standard! Just one of 551,217 examples.... Scripture (affirmed by Catholicism as God's Word): Catholic Doctrine (Council of Trent, Canon 9):

All theology is philosophy. Theology is merely a branch of philosophy. Christian theology is Christian philosophy and vise-versa. Letting God speak for Himself through scripture is a philosophical stance. This may seem like a semantic point, and in this particular forum, especially in any...

I just showed you PROOF otherwise, Nick, including from Paul's own writing. Look at the passage you yourself just cited. The eight words that immediately precede the verse you quoted.... "sin is not imputed when there is no law. " God is just. That is all you need know in order to toss...

(See revised version of this post in post #3) What is morality, (or ethics)? A code of values to guide one's choices and actions, the choices and actions that determine the purpose and the course of his life. To speak meaningfully of “value", one must first understand what a value is. A value...

You highlight the wrong portion of that verse. Romans 5:18 Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. The doctrine of Original sin is...

Nang only ever posted here because I had totally humiliated her husband in a debate on another website. She was obsessed with me for a couple of years. LOL!

Those old Fátima photos don't even count as evidence, by the way! The Cottingley Fairy photos, which were completely fake, were taken the same year as the Fátima photos, 1917! Two girls used paper cutouts and completely fooled the public. Even Arthur Conan Doyle believed them! At the time...

Why is it that miracles always seem to happen to people out in the middle of nowhere in places no one who's supposed to believe the miracle happened has ever been or has any means to get there or any access to anyone who was supposedly there. In short, there's never any means by which to confirm...

I screwed up when editing the OP and had two paragraphs in there that said almost verbatim the same thing. I've reworded it to reduce the redundancy and consolidated three paragraphs into two.

"Cop out", is too kind. He is intentionally, knowingly and blatantly dishonest... WITH HIMSELF!!!! A completely total waste of time (unless the interaction is just sort of practice, for you own benefit, with no expectation of having a substantive two way exchange.)

In addition to the essay in the OP, I've written a 4700 word essay for the purpose of establishing that every distinctively Calvinist doctrine derives from the doctrine of Immutability. I can't decide whether to post it here or not because it reads like a Calvinist apologetic, and could...
