    I think so too, seems to be 'which wave' and season we happen to be talking about 🤔

    Paul did not write Hebrews; we do not know who did

    Good thought/reasoning. One of the arguments goes: It is its own evidence: It'd not be in the Bible if it weren't for Apostleship. The assumption then is: Who was 'most' qualified to write such a letter as Hebrews? While this has always gone back and forth and with incredibly good...

    Paul did not write Hebrews; we do not know who did

    Good thoughts and study here. There are some reasons for thinking it 'was' Paul. Note that at the end of the article, it concurs, however, with you, against Pauline authorship using Hebrews 2:3 as sufficient evidence. To me, the 'need' isn't there to determine authorship. The book is...

    The Late Great Urantia Revelation

    You are deluded. I've shown you, repeatedly, its deficits and mistruths as well as YOUR proclivity to build/buy a god in your OWN image. YOU found something YOU liked and slapped 'god' haphazardly on a poor-excuse-for-a-wagon. The UB is every bit the flawed contrivance of Joseph Smith et al...

    The Role of Chance

    The compound word is 'union' (sun-'soon') and Lord (kurio). Literally, then not 'chance' but more akin to 'by union with the Lord' or 'by the Lord's will.'

    The Role of Chance

    Not sure Luke is chance. It says 'if' a condition, and then the result, unequivocally "if" He is correct (it is a verse in favor of Divine Foreknowledge).

    The Role of Chance

    mik-reh' From H7136; something met with, that is, an accident or fortune: - something befallen, befalleth, chance, event, hap (-peneth). 🤔

    The Dead Old One Cell Speck Suddenly Came To Life , , ,

    Well, that is true too, but they aren't going to come into the theology section to discuss it? 🤔 I think these are usually posted "And the Rest" and sometimes politics. The first thing they will argue about is a 'cell.' they don't believe life started with a cell, but the basic...

    Vaccination progress

    True. Read that link. It substantiates all of my concerns as viable. In addition, the last 4 people (nurses doctors) I talked to said they are holding off for now. From what I'm reading, in Chicago, if doctors or nurses hold off, they are being suspended. To me? Seems politics are...

    Vaccination progress

    Again, does 'the shot' stop someone else from getting it 'from' me if I'm exposed? I am reading more reports that say "93%" but it doesn't tell me (clearly) if I come in contact with it, though it may only be mild for me, am I actually safe to be around other people? (From what I'm hearing...

    Vaccination progress

    But that was my question: Is it an actual vaccination, or just an insistence on one particular remedy (like insisting on NyQuil or vitamin D injections)? The current remedies are just brand names and bandaids, like nasal spray or zinc. At least that is the way doctors trying to help me be...

    On the omniscience of God

    Problem: It is a surmised assumption based on the line of reasoning that also assumes a truth. It isn't really engaging truth (of scripture) but sidestepping it to embrace an assumption. In this case "pagan" enters as a pejorative (much like "Greeks"). It next assumes that logic and...

    On the omniscience of God

    The proposition is sound, but an Open Theist would need the above proved. If however you meant "Let's say that nobody debated that God was omniscient..." "...then would men be able to be Open Theists?" ...could be meaningfully answered. The answer would be 'no.' I believe from a physics...

    Vaccination progress

    Curiosity: From what I understand, the vaccine does not stop the virus "at all" just makes the symptoms milder, thus it doesn't 'seem' to me we can call this an immunization. I'm also hearing that if you get the shot now, if they do come up with an actual immunization, you'll not be able to...

    Chauvin: GUILTY on all 3 counts

    Nope, just against them 'feeling' I'm guilty. Anna, even with example you are easily distracted. It was JUST an example. Making it mean more than it does? Sure, if it means something to you. Er, it was about subjective vs. objective analysis. One, the 'bizarre' one was subjective. Even...

    Mass Killer bought his rifles legally.

    🤔 So in English, the second: Would be a proposition about your assessment of what he thinks, thus the 'If' is applied to 'that's what you think. It didn't set the former as a question, more akin rather to 'since you believe that, then that is what you believe' specifically because you didn't...

    The Covidian Cult

    Sometimes, by association, the threads become a bit surreal. I'm trying to somehow tie glaciers and covid together and can only come up with: " Glacial temperatures kill covid." Through a bit of purposeful naivety, I may have managed to miss the point :)

    The Covidian Cult

    It was an encyclopedia entry, so a bit more in-depth, which doesn't mean right, but does discuss definition in more detail. It does help, especially if they are right that a more modern grasp of the term is beyond religious meaning, and more broadly 'gathering around an idea and goal.'...
