Saying it doesn't make it so, Dartman. Language is language. The meaning of a word does not change dramatically because a philosopher used it as apposed to a banker or a black smith. Words can be used in special ways by various people but that special use would have to be explained somehow...

Yes, Dartman, it does too! Everyone has access to Strong's Concordance. Use your head for something besides a hat rack and think for a change. The word kosmos has meant the created order since at least Plato's time and first used by the philosopher Pythagoras for the order of the universe...

Only in your mind. Do you understand what the following sentence means?.... SAYING IT DOESN'T MAKE IT SO! No, that's your doctrine, not the scripture. Liar. I and others here have already established that in fact it does say so more than once and in more than one way. Pretending like you've...

Which no one denies and thus does not argue your case. Which no one denies and thus does not argue your case. Which no one denies and thus does not argue your case. Which no one denies and thus does not argue your case. Including this was a lie - an intentional lie - on your part because the...

You can know that a man is pushing a cult when his doctrine makes it impossible to simply read something and understand what it says. When everything EVERYTHING become some sort of figure of speech that cannot be understood until AFTER your doctrine is "corrected", you know you've heard the...

Nice! I had forgotten about that verse! John's writings are just amazing on this topic. "The glory I had with you before the world was". "pro ho kosmos einai". Literally, "Before the universe existed". I wonder which Dartman will choose? Will he move along and pretend that you didn't quote...

Just one more in the seemingly endless line of worthless trolls that don't know how to have a rational discussion, who aren't interested in actual debate, and couldn't respond to a substantive argument against their doctrine if their life depended on it (which it does). How completely boring.

You miss the point. Probably my fault. Jesus, the Man, is subject to the Father. No one denies that. The fact that the Logos, the second person of the Trinity, became a man (and remains a man to this day, by the way) isn't affected by the fact that Jesus submitted Himself to the Father. In...

No, it is "reason". The word does have a sphere of meaning that is nuanced by the context in which it is used but its meaning is all but identical to the English word "reason". Much more than that! That, in fact, is such a shallow thing to say that it's very nearly meaningless. Fools use words...

Like I said, why bother reading the bible in the first place. You're willing, not only to ignore what it says but when it directly contradicts your doctrine to a point that it cannot be denied in any rational manner, you simply find an excuse to cut it out of the bible. Why bother with all this...

Kettles and pots! Which is true. He was also the Creator and was with God in the beginning and was God. So says the Apostle John. ...than God the Father. He is a separate person, even more so in His human condition. Now who's reading into the scripture? There's no way that you don't know...

Logos does not mean "words". It means "reason" and, in the Greek context in which John was using it, it was referring to the intelligence that created and sustains existence. Regardless of the meaning of the word "logos", John explicitly states that he is talking about God, the Creator of...

Lying doesn't count as an argument. 1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. Since you're not here to actually debate anyone and no amount of scripture would move you an inch, one verse is all you get, which...

I don't think that block chain tech is nearly secure enough for people to be comfortable with it being used for personal information. Remember that I have on my hard drive right now a piece of "art" that some idiot paid several million dollars for and I downloaded it entirely legally and...

I was sent that graphic just two days ago by a friend of mine and then you posted something about this thread and, when I read the opening post, I realized it fit and so couldn't resist posting it. :) I don't remember Heterodoxical. He seems like someone I would get along with. It's too bad...

Excellent point! Imagine the confusion that would result if the bible did say it! Try for a moment to reconcile the idea that God makes you believe something with the following verse... James 2:19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!

I never suggested you were either wrong or right about the accusation. If you thought I did, its because you were too busy being offended to think clearly. The entire point I was making is that Calvin was not a murderer because you showed up here to call him one. Do you think you're the first...

Assuming the video is real, it was almost certainly faulty ammo. Even if that isn't the case, ammo that fires outside a gun isn't nearly as dangerous as the same bullet being fired from a gun. This is because, instead of most of the energy going to accelerate the bullet, the energy is simply...

Idiotic nonsense that pretty much ONLY Calvinists believe and that is NOT taught anywhere in the bible, including in the verses cited in b57's post! If you haven't noticed it yet, that's true of practically every passage b57 cites! They never seem to actually say whatever it is b57 is trying to...
