Cool video. I saw it a few days ago. I didn't put it together with the one way speed of light issue because I don't think I made it all the way to the end of the video! The reason why it doesn't solve the issue is because there isn't a single example in that video of a one way measurement...

While I agree that constitutional monarchy is the most stable and biblically defensible form of government for a fallen world ruled by man’s law, I must respectfully disagree with the claim that democracy itself is “the beast” described in Revelation. The Beast of Revelation is far more than...

What were we discussing?

Intelligence and stupidity are not mutually exclusive. Modern cosmological "science" hasn't been real science for a century now. It's mathematics, not physics. There is a BIG difference! The Big Bang (and other similar kinds of "scientific" reasoning) violates the basic principles of rational...

Quite so. If he was a gentile, he for sure didn't write the book of Hebrews.

So, people in the Philippines wouldn't write in English if they were writing to an English speaking audience? Is that the point you're trying to make here? If not, then what exactly was the point? All of the evidence that exists says that Jews in the first century communicated in Aramaic and...

The church I grew up in must have taught that he was a gentile because I literally don't remember having ever thought he was anything other than a gentile. There is, however, sufficient doubt about it that I won't be mindlessly speaking of him as a gentile any longer as I did in that previous post.

No, I won't beat you up at all. It's a very reasonable question. It feels to me like I've just always known that Luke was a Gentile. I've never given it any specific thought prior to the research I did for this post. I suppose it's possible that he was a Jew and I don't think I would want to be...

No, it isn't Idolater. If you really do think otherwise, you need to do some really serious investigation into your own chosen religion. To whatever degree Catholic teaching agrees with what I was saying (which isn't much), it does so in spite of itself and in contradiction to major...

The text defeats your argument by your own, quite correct, standard of translation being not woodenly "word for word" but by means of context. It is the ideas being expressed that should be converted into the other language not necessarily the dictionary definitions of particular words. The...

It's worse even than your comments suggest. It wasn't merely microscopic. It was infinitesimally small - literally. That is, it was INFINITELY small, as in mathematically zero volume. And not even just zero volume really because volume presupposes space. They posit that space itself (and time...

Can't say that I do. When you mentioned that you were Catholic, that did ring a bell, but I can't say that I remember you specifically. I mean, I've seen your user name around for a very long time but I don't have you connected in my mind with any particular interaction People don't believe me...

So, I'd have to say that this response has the flavor of truth to it. I also have to say that I'm quite surprised! I really did think you were just making it up! I stand corrected. It seems you were enough of a Calvinist to fellowship with them but came to it via a route that had basically...

I don't care what they believe. Medicare is not justified - at all. I don't care if every Catholic on Earth had fifty kids each. Or does Catholicism not teach that theft is sin?

More or less. I can't say that I've studied it specifically. They worship Mary. Trust in rituals to save them. Believe that Christ's death was not sufficient to pay for one's sins (i.e. Purgatory). Believe that Peter didn't have the mother-in-law that scripture says he had. Believe that Jesus...

Rand's book is the most profoundly important non-biblical book I've ever read.

I originally posted the following on August 4th 2018. There are links that do not work. Proof that the Earth Cannot be Flat The last few days I've been playing around with some math and thought I'd post some of it here to see if it might move some of the flat earthers maybe an inch or two back...

Is flat earth stupidity back?! Flat Earthism has been so totally proven false so many times, I'm still blue in the face to this day over it!

The number kids we've raised is altogether irrelevant!

You're a Catholic? Goes to show how rarely I've interacted with you.
