You don't think that Paul explicitly separating himself from the Twelve and agreeing with them that his ministry would be to the gentiles while the Twelve ministered to Israel is relevant to that discussion? No, it isn't. It's based on the following facts... Paul, then Saul, was in the...

His COMPLETE lack of ANY argument either in favor of his doctrine or in rebuttal to ours is telling. If he could make an argument, twelve legions of angels couldn't keep his ego from showing it off.

In what conceivable way is that argument circular? Did Jesus not spend years training His apostles? Did Jesus give the Twelve the "Great Commission" or didn't He? Where not ALL TWELVE of the apostles (i.e. including the newly added, Matthias) filled with the Holy Spirit at Pentecost? Where...

What? John's ministry (along with the rest of the Twelve and James (i.e. the writer of the book of James) was toward BELIEVING members of the nation of Israel. Their writings will become primary, as Paul's are now, when the Body of Christ is removed at the rapture and Christ turns again toward...

Bitcoin and other "blockchain tech" is definitely not going to last. Certainly not in its current form anyway. There was a NFT piece of art that sold for $69,000,000 that I have right now on my hard drive without having to pay a penny for it. All I did was download it. I'm talking about the...

You're hysterics won't get you anywhere other than on my ignore list. The reason you aren't smart enough to know what energy is, is because you think its a thing instead of an idea. Energy is simply action and reaction. The reason a scientist will tell you that energy is work, is because that's...

Yes, very much so. Stupidity. Is this really how you do theology? Is this really the process you used to form your doctrine? If so, there is no wild-eyed insanity that is outside the grasp of your belief system. Romans 1:20 is referencing the obviously designed nature of the created order...

I have a really hard time believing that you don't understand the difference between an idea and something that exists independently. Let's take it step by step though... There can be no such thing as either language or semantics without logic and so no, neither of those things precede logic...

How about if Jesus Himself says so? Revelation 22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last. That's one of four separate times that Jesus refers to Himself in this exact manner.

"Pure Energy"? Terrific 1980s song! The "pure energy" line is a sample of something Spock said in the Star Trek episode "Errand of Mercy" (S1 E26) (Click the link above to hear the song!) That too would depend on just what you mean by "energy", which can actually get quite complicated and...

You guys are talking about two different kinds of "light". God is not electromagnetic radiation.

Saying it doesn't make it so, CCoburn. Not only can there not be any truth without reason because the concept of truth is predicated on reason but there isn't any way to know ANYTHING at all without reason because knowing IS reason. Even if you didn't think it through in formal terms or even in...

Who cares whether its a noun or not? I don't understand your pointing out the grammatical designation. Are you suggesting that the fact that the English words "time" and "space" are nouns that therefore they exist ontologically? The term "Mad Hatter" is a noun. It happens to be a proper noun...

Time is not a place that can be existed outside of, it is an idea. The concept of existence presupposes the concept of duration. The concept of duration (and it's corollary - sequence) is all time is. Thus, the idea of existence outside of time is a contradiction and therefore a fantasy. Same...

The term "irrational numbers" doesn't just apply to the square root of negative numbers but to also to numbers like π where its an endless, non-repeating list of decimals. The use the word "irrational" is not being used in the philosophical sense of the word. It's basically just a title. It...

Notice how the verses he cites don't say anything about the doctrine he spouted in the opening sentence? He might as well have quoted some passage from Gone With the Wind. Doctrine: "God is an arbitrary ogre that cannot choose to change his mind!" Proof: “Life's under no obligation to give us...

Constantly mischaracterizing things is a form of lying, especially when you've been repeatedly corrected, which means that it's intentional. Lair. No it absolutely was not. You're such a fool. It's hard to even accept that you're even a Christian at all. Yes it was/is. It's capital city was...

Argh! I make that error all the time! :oops:

I haven't ignored anything. I haven't suggested that anyone ignore anything. You knew that when you wrote this. You are therefore a liar. So much for fools who claim sinless perfection. That's true of those in the Body of Christ. It was not true of those in the Kingdom, who were of Israel...

Can you not see that whatever led to the conclusion, "there must be some truth that outlines a process of the ineffable that goes beyond reason" was itself an attempt as using the very thing you just stated "leads you into a wall"? The conclusion, "there must be some truth that outlines a...
