I should point out, for the sake of clarity, that I was only saying that marke's form of argument was tautological and was not attempting to say that the statement "God is good" is a tautology. An attribute of a thing is not the thing itself but marke's form of argument seemed to be implying...

I'm pretty sure you didn't understand the point of the question. It's called Euthyphro's Dilemma. It's only been a subject of philosophical significance for a few thousands years and one that has direct bearing on whether Christianity (or any other monotheistic religion) is true or false so...

No it doesn't assume any such thing. It assumes that God is rational, nothing else. And yes, it is not possible for God to declare devils to be saints. It would be a contradiction. He could no more do that then He could declare cubes to be spheres. He could turn a cube into a sphere but that...

I fully understand why such discussions make a difference but no such discussion is possible when people aren't willing or capable of getting more than an inch deep into the subject and blow anything and everything anyone says off with flippant stupidity like "only God can fix it"...

Yeah, which is why no one here is advocating a fiat monarchy where the king's word is law. Thanks for contributing exactly nothing to the discussion! So what? They're in power aren't they? They were put in power by means of duly constituted popular vote and those who voted for them like their...

Saying it doesn't make it so - even if you happen to be right. Why can God not declare wrong to be right? Why? Read the open post for the answer.

Have you read the opening post? If not, it would be helpful if you would do so. That way we can be talking about the same thing without wasting each other's time. Clete

So then it makes no difference what form of government we have because "only God can fix it"! Might as well be fascist or communist or just a straight up dictatorship with an emperor king that rules by fiat. What is the point of even discussing these issues if this is the depth you're capable...

That wasn't the point. Forget the current congress and just think about the question in terms of various forms of government. The point is, which is easier to fix, one tyrant or four hundred?

What if the congress is full of 400+ cruel despots?

Do you know what a tautology is?

Exactly. Texas is likely to pick up three additional congressional seats because we still have our heads screwed on half way straight and all those who are both smart and able are leaving the more fascist areas of the country and coming to places where they are more free like Texas, Oklahoma and...

Welcome to my ignore list.

Translation: "Forget freedom, forget your rights and forget thinking for yourself and taking responsibility for yourself, simply obey the governing official whether what they tell you has any connection to reality or not, so says God!" Nut job fascist!

Welcome to my ignore list.

There is literally not a single thing you've said in this post that is true. I can't tell if you are intentionally lying or if you've just believed a bunch of lies and are parroting them because you have no discernment. Either way, you've taken leave of your rational faculty and are a waste of...

You haven't the faintest idea what in the world you're talking about. This was an incredibly irresponsible post. You ought to delete it. What these vaccines do is introduce just the proteins that are the spikes all around the outside of COVID-19 virus into the body. They're the proteins that...

What? Nineveh doesn't exist anymore! Jonah's prophecy cannot possibly come to pass! John died before Christ's return as did everyone standing anywhere within 100,000 miles of where Jesus was standing when He made the explicit prediction that some standing there wouldn't die before His return...

Another of what simply MUST be an intentional lie from Lon! He either didn't watch the video, which he claims to have done or he has intentionally mischaracterized / ignored its content which he seems to be quoting directly. How is anyone taking this fool seriously? Enyart didn't make any...

I thought you wanted me to ignore you? Last chance! It is not my burden to prove that God intended to repent and I have never claimed that Jonah was unaware of God's tendency toward mercy. God certainly hoped that Nineveh would repent and may very well have expected it, and I'm quite sure...
