Only true for the nation that God has offered to reign over. Here's a copy of a post I made earlier in the thread that addresses this point.... All systems will have flaws, yes, but the system being discussed here wasn't proposed lightly. Israel didn't really demand much of a move. It was not a...

That much is not in dispute but that isn't really what I asked. The question was rhetorical. We are talking about how to set up a government system in the most ideal way possible and the dispute is primarily about how to select the first king. My contention is that the biblical system of...

Aren't both things true? It is true that Christ's righteousness was not a result of His obedience to the law but, being found as a man under the law, His obedience to the law was required and had He failed to submit Himself to the law and obey its commandments, He would have disqualified...

Try this as a response to your position... T = You answer the telephone tomorrow at 9 am Yesterday God infallibly believed T. [Supposition of infallible foreknowledge] If E occurred in the past, it is now-necessary that E occurred then. [Principle of the Necessity of the Past] It is...

Exactly! That's just exactly the whole entire point! Plato, Augustine, Luther and Calvin all said that God is immutable, not the bible. And they meant exactly that, by the way. The doctrine of immutability goes way way beyond a belief that God's character (i.e. The traits related to His...

How is that in any way responsive to what was said to you? What does that have to do with the fact the BECOMING a man (or anything else for that matter) is antithetical to the notion that God is immutable?

Quite well indeed! Any better and I couldn't stand it!

Saying it doesn't make it so, marke and it is not MY definition of immutable, it is THE definition of the term. That's what it means, Marke. I'm not making this up as I go! immutable (ĭ-myoo͞′tə-bəl) adjective Not subject or susceptible to change. Not mutable; not capable or susceptible of...

The form He took is NOT relevant to the point. I thought I had made it clear. Let me repeat... Appearing in the form of a man doesn't make you a human man. GOD WAS NEVER EVER A HUMAN BEFORE THE INCARNATION!!!!! That single point along is sufficient to explode the doctrine of immutability into...

It's turned into a religious belief system. There is nothing rational about any of it. It's just fear mongering and conspiracy theories from top to bottom.

It isn't nonsense! It's the facts of reality! There isn't any question at all about it. It's very well established and unanimously accepted facts of history. Calvin's doctrine is nothing really but a reformation version of Augustinian theology and Augustine very very clearly states that he...

The person of the Trinity whom we refer to as God the Son has always existed along with the Father and Holy Spirit but He was not ever a man (human) before the incarnation in Mary's womb. From that point on, He has been and He will forever be a man with a human body complete with the scared...

I'm not surprised. I get them all mixed up. I can't keep up with which wacko said which wacky thing. The point is that it's not like I'm making stuff up off the top of my head. I quote a post and respond to what was says. If I make a mistake, all anyone has to do is point it out and I correct...

What are you talking about? Jesus was not the Father, He was sent by the Father! John 3:13; 3:17; 7:3, Galatians 4:4, I Corinthians 8:6; 11:3, I John 4:9, Revelation 3:14 John 16: 26 In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you; 27 for...

I agree. The truth is done no favors when it is argued poorly. A skilled debater could flip an argument from silence fallacy against someone who uses it because if you are arguing that silence is something other than silence then why do you get to declare what the silence means? Why couldn't...

Battle Royales usually have time constraints that require a commitment that I cannot make. A One on One perhaps but a full blown Battle Royale is probably not in the cards. Not that he would agree to do either one.

Judge Rightly is more than capable of responding here and I look forward to his own response but I just cannot resist posting a response of my own here... Starting point for what, man? I think his name was Adam. Ever heard of him? Well, like JR said, this is called moving the goal post. Your...

Word's right out of the mouth of the likes of David Koresh, Benny Hinn, and Yahweh Ben Yahweh. If you don't need to proof text then stop doing it. Lon, if you lie to me again, I will simply put you on ignore and you can go tell all your make-believe friends that "give you a hard time" that...

I love it when people claim that I am "wrong on so much" but will not present one single solitary refutation of any argument I have ever presented on any subject on this website over the last twenty years. But, you're not alone, Lon! The most important, most fundamental, difference between...

I'm not so sure that any of them exist. Some might be sensor echo anomolies and "exist" in that sense but most are outright hoaxes.
