    On the omniscience of God

    That's stupidity! By what rational process would you come to the conclusion that rational absurdity as a concept is subjective? That question answers itself. Do you understand the point? This is idiotic, drooling mouthed stupidity! Not even worth responding to directly. Trying reading a...

    Is death just another life?

    Which of the two, the rich man or Lazarus, wasn't dead?

    Is death just another life?

    No. I grant you no unearned ground. Establish that such a change is warranted by something other than your desire to move it or else it's just fantacy land, pretend theology where anything goes so long as we like it.

    Why are Christians embracing Evolution?

    Saying it doesn't make it so. Saying it doesn't make it so... Unless you're the bible! Then... Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the...

    Is death just another life?

    Yes, I understood the point when you first mentioned it. Every Greek scholar that has ever translated the bible seems to disagree with your desire to put the comma after 'today'. You're going to have to do more than give me a doctrinal reason to think that you're right and all the bible...

    On the omniscience of God

    Until that post I responded too, all I ever saw him post was political stuff. What in the world would have gotten him perma-banned? (You don't have to answer that!)

    Is death just another life?

    I wasn't asking you who taught you. I thought I made that clear, didn't I? Because the bible seems to clearly teach it by a plain reading of the test. That isn't at all what I was asking. Anyone with half a brain would say that. I'm asking what the basis of this doctrine is. You are THE ONLY...

    Is death just another life?

    I would respond to that by saying that there isn't any reason other than your doctrine to move the commas around. If you can make a grammatical argument (i.e. based on the actual text) then I'm all ears but otherwise it's an exercise in question begging. (Did you notice that I left out all the...

    Is death just another life?

    Who cares where they were? Maybe one was in Florida and the other in Washington D.C. What does it matter? The point is that there were awake and experiencing things and talking back and forth after they died! That would be hard to do if your definition of death is, "no life in them or any part...

    Is death just another life?

    @Derf, What do you do with what Jesus told the criminal who was being crucified next to Him? Luke 23:43 And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.” Doesn't that single sentence destroy your whole idea about what death is and how "there's no life in...

    On the omniscience of God

    Ever thought that the reason you can't use human language to explain it is because it makes no sense? It is truly impossible to fathom the self-contradictory. If it is so ineffable then why do you believe it? That's a real question, RWR. Why do you believe it? It just bugs the crap out of me...

    Protestantism was falsified here on TOL

    You're arguing against yourself! There isn't one syllable of that gibberish that a protestant couldn't have said against you! Swap out the word "Protestant" with "Catholic" and how would you respond to it? Any response you would make would be equally valid in the mouth of a Protestant. Why...

    Why are Christians embracing Evolution?

    It is entirely clear that the bible teaches that the heavens, the earth and everything else was created in six days. It says so EXPLICITLY... Exodus 20:11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them.... Exodus 31:17 It is a sign between Me and the...

    On the omniscience of God

    Excellent! The omni doctrines are actually derivations from Greek philosophy, not the bible. It's a rather rare find to discover someone willing to allow the bible's plain teaching to over ride the popular doctrines. To sum up what you've said... God has the power, skill, intelligence and...

    Why are Christians embracing Evolution?

    Are you suggesting here that we do not have actual spirits but that what we call our "spirit" is some sort of undefined "life force"? I'm not saying you ARE suggesting that, by the way. It's a real question. Is that what you mean by what you said here?

    Why are Christians embracing Evolution?

    That's fine by me! There is no such thing as a real Christian who denies the death of Jesus Christ nor is there any such thing as a real Christian who believes that Jesus ever ceased to exist. Also, there are Christians who believe all sorts of wacky things because they are taught to believe...

    Why are Christians embracing Evolution?

    On the contrary! It is absolutely necessary. It is, in fact, foundational to the whole of the Christian faith! You don't understand. It isn't as though we "came up" with this definition. That is the definition. At least, that is what the bible is talking about whenever it talks about death...

    Why are Christians embracing Evolution?

    Any Christian that defines death as a separation would do so correctly. When you are spiritually separated from God you are spiritual dead. When your spirit separates from your physical body you are physically dead. Jesus died in both ways at Calvary. (Matthew 27:46 & John 19:30) When those...

    Magnetic Poles Are Moving Rapidly as Never Before

    In what way is the GPS system "based upon a fairly stationary location for the North Pole" as is claimed in the article? The GPS system is based on good time keeping and triangulation. It has nothing to do with the magnetic poles. Also, the article talks about the equator being "30 degrees...

    The core of Liberalism

    It's the fact that its true that makes it funny. People laughed not because it wasn't true but because it came as a surprise to hear someone say it out loud.
