Saying it doesn't make it so, Derf. Of course yes you are trying to avoid the argument which is why you won't make it. I could beg you fifty times to make the argument and you would never ever do it. I know that for a fact because I've already told you that I don't see you point and that you'll...

It is not okay to be anti-American in America. That isn't okay. It's called sedition and it is not okay. Moral bias is fine so long as your bias is in fact moral and not immoral. It is not okay to advocate the harm of others. Religious bias is fine as well so long as that bias doesn't have as...

The problem isn't with controlling content per se, its doing so with a clear political bias that is so pronounced and obvious that no rational person could begin to deny that it exists. Not only that but these big social media giants aren't merely controlling the content on their websites...

No! Sabbath observance is not a moral issue. Obeying God is a moral issue but God could have just as easily not required Sabbath observance and no one would have been doing anything wrong, including God. It is a religious command given to have several effects on the nation of Israel...

You aren't talking about the same thing, freeloader. See post #53

Excess deaths has been a commonly used metric in statistical analysis of all kinds of morbidities for probably hundreds of years or for many decades at the very least. The expected increase in death would be totally irrelevant to the excess death number because they are just that, expected...

That seems backward to me. I am saying the opposite. It is our English translations that do not carry the connotation that "logic" does carry. It's impossible to tell for sure what you even mean because all you can be bothered with is one sentence posts. Regardless of whether I've understood...

Nope. I don't see it. You'll have to spell it out for me. My thesis is that God Himself is Reason. How can God be used to usurp Himself?

Repeating your position does not make the refutation of it go away. Category error. Man is under God's authority. As such we are subject to His commands and it would be sinful for us to disobey Him. God can and has given laws that have nothing to do with morality per se. Laws concerning...

Saying it doesn't make it so. Make the argument.

I didn't choose the abstraction. Logos is a Greek word that has a meaning and just as in any language, the word has a sphere of meaning that varies with and is determined by the context in which the word is used. The best word to use to translate the use of "Logos" in John chapter one into...

That is flatly false and is incompatible with any flavor of Christian doctrine. When it comes to right and wrong and God's character, God truly is wholly and absolutely immutable. As such God does not determine what right and wrong is. God is righteous. He didn't decide to become righteous nor...

I haven't read it and don't care to and have no idea whether its accurate and I'm making no argument about any of that one way or the other but just to answer the question you've asked... The 300k "excess deaths" is referring to deaths in excess of what would otherwise have been expected across...

This thread is proof that people that buy into the hysteria, want shut downs that are totally medically innefective and think that masks make any difference at all don't give a damn about science or any other kind of sound reason. They are leftist control freaks. If they all died of corona virus...

I do not know that answer and I submit that you do not either. What we do know and what you have conceded is that Jesus is the incarnation of Love itself. How that works and just what it means is a mystery that we will not fathom in this life. On the contrary! John's explicit point is to equate...

I don't know exactly what it means to say that God is life and I don't need to know just exactly what it means. I just know that it is the truth by the same means that I know that Jesus loves me so. I know that the bible teaches me that God is life and I know that I am alive because God...

Reality does that. Logic is not determined, it is discovered. Asking "Who determines what is logical?" is like asking who determines how much energy the sun is depositing onto the Earth. No one determines it. It is what it is. Logic and sound reason is nothing more than conforming your mind to...

I have said many times that I do not worship love or reason except in the sense that God Himself is the embodiment of those things. Jesus Christ is the very incarnation of Love and Logic itself. There is much about that statement that we cannot know this side of the Pearly Gates of heaven but...

I don't understand the distinction. All truths that have been proven are logically necessary. That's what it means for something to be proven. There is no such thing as "a particular morality". Such a concept is an oxymoron. Something (or someone) is either moral or not. That is not to say...

That sentence is not constructed properly and so I'm not sure what you're asking. The words "logic" and "reason" can be synonymous with each other and I suspect that was your intention here but I could be wrong. In the strictest sense, "logic" refers to the rules that govern sound reason and...
