The pre-1997 Catechism of the Catholic Church accepted the death penalty as a legitimate tool of justice when proportionate to the crime and necessary for public safety and did not explicitly challenge the morality of the death penalty itself. Then in 1997 Pope John Paul II added the...

If such were the correct path, there would be no need at all for Paul's ministry to exist. I Corinthians 4:14 I do not write these things to shame you, but as my beloved children I warn you. 15 For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for...

There certainly has been different laws. Isn't that sort of intuitively obvious? God commanded that the murderer Cain not be executed. Now He commands that all murderers should be executed - your Pope's unrighteous pleading to the contrary not withstanding. Before Abraham there was no...

Excellent post! Of course the modern conception of bible "study" goes well beyond something as obvious as there being more than one gospel. It is literally the difference between objective and subjective bible study, if the later can even be rightly referred to as "study" in the first place...

I've not said it was. It was no more instantaneous than is the energy released when one fires a cannon. It's fast but not instantaneous. The energy is released and imparted to the projectile, accelerating it for as long as the pressure behind the projectile is higher than the pressure in front...

I think McDonald's rocks!

I stopped reading at that point. I will not have my time wasted by you ignoring nearly everything I say. We can continue when you respond to the arguments.

Notice the appeal to justice! "Far be it from You to do such a thing as this, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be as the wicked; far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?" You need to learn to read. The passage you are referring to is...

Whether they'd have been carried along with them or not isn't the point. The point is that minerals with their electrons ripped off aren't mineral any more and even if the ions reaquired some electrons along the way, they would not have reassembled themselves into rocks that look anything...

Predestination, as taught by Calvinists, is a complete falsehood and is not taught in the bible at all. If it were true, it would mean that God is arbitrary - the opposite of just. Not only that but it would render Calvary unnecessary, not to mention weirdly sadistic. The only things God has...

Be as redundant in your speech as you like. On the contrary. An action that is infallibly known in advance cannot be freely chosen. A fact that I've presented the proof of dozens of times over the years without a single refutation even being attempted. It can and it has. I have a difficult...

The chemical make up of the material in the asteroid is similar to that which is found in the oceanic ridges. That is predicted by the DPT because the ridges are where it claims this material left the Earth but that isn't proof of the theory because because the similarity in material is not...

I don't care anything about AMR. I doubt he was even saved. In answer to your question though - it would depend on what the distinction means. Is there any difference that isn't purely semantic? Which only goes to demonstrate that you don't know what the term means. The future is either...

If one believes the following they are saved and will be delivered safely to the Day of Redemption.... God exists and is the Creator of all things and He is perfect, holy, and just. We, having willfully done evil things and rebelled against God, who gave us life, deserve death. Because God...

Nothing about Calvinism is biblical. You should remove ALL influences from your past that cannot be established via God's word and sound reason. I cannot see how this is relevant. Why segregate a single verse? I didn't ask you about a solitary verse but an entire chapter of the bible. If you...

I'm accepting that the discoveries made on the various asteroids and comets we've sent probes to are consistent with predictions made by the HPT. Taking this as proof would be going beyond what this piece of evidence can rightly accomplish because correlation does not prove causation. The fact...

Lon, if what you mean by something is significantly different than what the Calvinist means by these things then why not just reject them instead of redefining them? If you use their vernacular, you grant them ground that they have no right to stand on. The title of each of the TULIP doctrine...

God is just. Therefore, Calvinism is false. An argument you cannot, and won't even try to overcome. If you're doctrine is correct then what are you doing here? You believe that you cannot influence a thing. Your words are worthless against the predestination of God. If your doctrine is correct...

I made the transcript of that video into a pdf and fed it into Chat GPT and asked it to summarize it for me. The following is what it presented.... The uploaded document appears to be a transcript of a video from the "Idol Killer" ministry, led by Warren McGrew. The video critiques Calvinist...

No two ways about it. That is an excellent video that makes an outstanding point that I cannot refute.
