Drive-by marginalizing? You and I can talk about Calvinism (whether I am one or not) another day. Try not to give credit to the Urantia Book just to disdain someone who believes from the Bible alone, like Calvinism or Jehovah Witnesses lest you be seen as supporting the Urantia Book. As I...

What version are you using? 🤔 What English versions are you using? It makes sense you believe this way, these translations are a bit odd, in translating. If you can learn Greek, do so. This one of your's: "The things I say to you I do not speak of my own originality, but the Father who...

🤔 And the book of Mormon? Gospel of Thomas? I could see you saying "Calvinism is a bit like JW's" (not that I'd agree), but like Urantia? It leaves one wondering what else you'd draw akin to the sacred word. You are rather, imho, being un-discerning, a little less discriminate than...

A shortcoming on your part? 🤔 Again, learn to ask where you are confused instead of blaming others for what you don't understand (even if it is sometimes their fault). Just a suggest, leave it or take it. You CAN become better at conversation and ask good leading questions. Part of it is...

So you know the definition now, when did I attack your character? Did I call you a bad guy? No. Did I make assessments regarding your ability to understand context? Yes. Did it hurt your feelings? Likely, but education is about correction. There is no intent to make you feel poorly...

I disagree. The way you talk about him, you also believe it. There is no false claim. Why do you WANT to be on TOL with this stuff? Do you think any intelligent person is going to be duped by Dr. Sadler like you were? It isn't going to happen. Why be on TOL? I've found a good few...

It doesn't matter what he claimed. He edited the UB, he's "the guy." Hmmm, it'd appear even you think "he's the guy." The 'quality' of the book is substandard as literature. How in the wide world could you even think to compare such childishness with the Holy Writ? :idunno:

Thank you for the bit of work that took. -Lon

Not sure. Maccabees is certainly Jewish history and its celebration the reason for Hanukah. What place does Maccabees have in Jewish lives?

I know. I already said you are think of Him carnally (after the flesh). God is NOT subject to His creation. You've got God and the Universe co-eternal or co-temporal (as you pick). Both are antibiblical (another thread, not this one except that you are caught in the reasoning of flesh...

Er, no. I'm very sure you don't even know what an actual ad hominem is. This isn't it. Close, but no. Someone may rightly 'assess' your prowess. That isn't an ad hominem (look up the definition), it is trying to explain why we don't see eye to eye and why I believe the Unitarian conjecture...

I don't even know how you can print this with a straight face. You ACTUALLY buy into this stuff??? This is silly. It is directionless evolution where nothing is in charge of the cosmos AND it makes God Himself, a created being by the 'Big Bang.' Do YOU realize it is humanism? It is...

I understand this. You are caught up in a book that you and Freelight are responsible for on this website. The book does. It is 'antibiblical.' Moreover, you know it is. You've quoted from it against the Apostle Paul's (For one instance) testimony concerning His blood sacrifice...

No, I don't have to try harder. The scripture itself qualifies itself. John 1:3 is indeed emphatic whether you grasp that or not. It says 'without Him "NOTHING" was made that was made! Scripture does! Not Lon! No, you really cannot. The reason? Simple: You HAVE to ADD to make that...

A science claim is never to be taken as un-provable truth, we aren't supposed to use it to 'negate' but to 'check.' Science is MUCH more fluid than theology. As to 'in' the Bible: This isn't true, Caino. I've told you often where your Urantia thread has clearly disparaged the Lord Jesus...

A lot of people agree with you BUT I believe God's words stand as true on both levels. When God first gave that name to Moses, it truly was 'Am.' Any use of it after shows timelessness. Importantly, Jesus qualified it Himself: "Before Abraham was." While I never want the Name lost as...

If you'll also recall, I said that it cannot be because John 1:3 Emphatically says these 3 things: 1) Through him all things were made While you 'might' have been able to suggest a broader or limited sense with just this first part of the verse, note one thing from here: The Greek uses Auto...

Excellent job. Bob Hill or Bob Enyart's? Who is the author and let them know they did an exceptional job for me. -Lon

I did have a couple of larger disagreements with that commentary. I do think he wrote well. There are a good many points in that commentary that just don't quite add-up for me. I think I have a bit of my response to it somewhere. I'll try and find it (lost another computer a couple of...

Not sure if you'll find this good info, but I do think you'll enjoy it at least: Jews do not say the N-me (G-d's name). Jehovah is made from the consonants JHVW (or Y in place of J). The vowel points from "YaHWeH" were removed and the vowel points from Adonai were placed in instead...
