Except that you've presented no such evidence. So you claim. You do understand that making a claim is not the same as making an argument, right? A rose by any other name is still a rose, Doug! It's the same person and NO ONE denies that His name wasn't Jesus until the incarnation happened. A...

Please just tell me what the purpose of this convoluted teaching is? You completely ignore any argument made against it, including the clearest of Jesus' own words that refute it so clearly and completely that any child could know that you're definitely wrong and yet you aren't moved an inch...

I agree with you, of course, but my point was that you'd stick out like a sore thumb, which is the point of instituting such a mark in the first place. Such hording would only play into the purpose of the mark and make it obvious to everyone that you haven't taken that mark. You'd have hundreds...

The scientific community? Why would there be any debate about it within the scientific community? Why would there EVER be any debate about it in the scientific community? I know you don't get the point of that so let me spell it out.... Science isn't done via debate. Debate is for philosophers...

Terrific verse that completely explodes Doug's entire premise but PLEASE try to actually quote the verse instead of just citing it. I know it isn't required, it's just better.

So what? How does that advance your case in any way? Jesus isn't just the name of His physical body, it is HIS name! The fact that He took that name at a particular time doesn't mean He didn't exist prior to that. Did Abraham pop into existence in Genesis 17? Did Israel pop into existence in...

Oh yes He did! His physical body didn't but He absolutely has always existed from eternity past and forever more. Blasphemy! You are not a Christian. Play all the word games you like. He who took on flesh also took on the name Jesus. He is the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the One...

Jesus' human body didn't exist until the incarnation happened but the Person whom we call Jesus certainly did exist. Of course, all Christians know this and they understand intuitively what is meant when someone refers to the pre-incarnate Word as "God the Son" or even as "Jesus". It works...

I just looked it up. I had no idea that it's existed since the 40s! Wow!

On both sides of the table. This new "over-under" gambling thing that so many people are doing now is all about AI powered statistical analysis and it's maybe the best thing that ever happened to bet booking websites. It's easy to understand so more people feel comfortable doing it and the AI...

Very good article. I'm really surprised that I hadn't ever learned that stuff before.

I suspect that adding such complexity to the QB rating system would have less of an effect than you might think. There seems to be something of a diminishing return on adding parameters to such analytics. You sometimes get weird results that end up muddying the water rather than clearing it up...

More accurately, the Body of Christ has no priesthood. Interesting. You think they were entered into the cannon in order of size? I'm not suggesting that you're wrong. I just hadn't heard that before.

This doesn't really effect the point you're making but, as usual, your comments lack precision. In actual fact, both "Jesus" and "Joshua" are English transliterations of Latin transliteration of the Greek transliterations of the Hebrew name יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (Yehoshua), which means "Yahweh is...

There's more to a completed pass than the accuracy of the throw. Of course that comment presumes that you are talking about assigning "strike" status to any completed pass and "ball" status to incomplete passes. If so, it would ignore when the quarterback throws the ball away to prevent getting...

Quite so! As would be expected, by the way, of any worldview that was, in fact, consistent with reality. Of course the evolutionists claim the exact opposite and can do so precisely because they have no standard of truth. Their theory can (and is) whatever they desire for it to be. This is true...

Derf already said this in so many words but, just to offer my two cents, the plainly read scriptures stand as a standard by which doctrine can be compared and tested. The word "true" means "consistent". We believe the scripture are true because we believe them to be consistent with physical...

The law was always under-girded by grace because it was not possible to follow the law flawlessly and so it isn't just many Jews, it's every single Jew that was ever saved was saved ultimately by grace. The difference, however, is in what afforded them that grace; under what circumstances was...

She doesn't care what God said. She only cares about the emotion that the subject of divorce wells up inside her. It is a barrier that cannot be overcome by any amount of reason. God HIMSELF could not persuade her, as the passage you quote it proof of. She's entrenched and has chosen this hill...

Well, this is the problem you run into when you are in the habit of not taking the text for what it seems to be saying. Go and find a young kid, something like 10 or 12 years old and read him the passage in John 4 and see what he thinks is going on. He doesn't have the life experience needed to...
