Hopeless. How do you combat a whole society that is this convinced that lies are the truth? You can't. For now, the right has lost and it will continue to lose unless and until we get to a place were we aren't willing to allow the left to lie and cheat, which will never happen in our lifetimes.

Saying it doesn't make it so. A little leavin leavins the whole lump. We started the U.S. with about 1/6th of the government being democratically elected by the people. The House of Representatives was the only half of one of the three branches of government that had its members elected by...

Well, its not quite that but your point is well taken! Almost any form of government is superior to one where the majority can trample the rights of any minority it chooses.

You keep riding the fence. Do you accept that they are, in essence, the same thing or don't you? You start by effectively acknowledging that they are and then trying to hedge your position but your hedge only restates what I've already said which is that the only difference between science and...

This whole statement betrays a woeful ignorance of the biblical material There is nothing that suggests that the Earth was created a solid hunk of rock and there is absolutely nothing in the text of Genesis that is the least bit "inconsistent with dinosaurs being excluded from..." Noah's Ark...

The rule of law is NOT a democratic institution and a constitutional monarchy is anything but democratic. Indeed, a central premise of the proposed form of government is precisely about eliminating democracy altogether. Democracy is corrosive to justice and the rule of law. Authority does not...

Gullible moron! There is no such thing as a real Trump supporter that would say or do anything of the sort. The right wants to persuade you by engaging your mind. They aren't interested in forcing you to act as if they're right and their instinct is the opposite of hanging their political...

As if there was ever any question that he was going to do anything else. Complete delusional stupidity!

The last four plus years of the totally lunatic derangement that the left has displayed concerning Trump as well as the total over reaction to Covid-19 during 2020 reminds me of a book I read years ago called, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds by Charles Mackay. It's an...

Those saved under the dispensation of grace are no longer under God's law nor even sin itself and absolutely will not receive any punishment whatsoever for anything. That, however, is only true because the punishment we deserve has already been suffered by Christ. With that singular exception...

I would say that this seems like a false dichotomy. Your premise here is that we need to have a king who is above the law in order to teach people that God exists and that all of creation, including the king, will stand before Him on judgment day. I don't believe that is the case at all. We...

I'm not sure what you think you're trying to pull here. Not only is the entire thread is still here for the world to see, Derf, but our discussion doesn't yet take up thirty posts of this thread. You have not posted one single link to anything in any response to me. You've posted an @ Hilltrot...

Quite so! That's precisely what I think would be a wise thing to do before getting started on rolling dice. I'm saying to make random selection from a pool of qualified people rather than from the whole population.

WHAT? I didn't translate the bible! Every translation of the bible I've ever read says that Jesus promised the criminal hanging next to Him that they would be together in Paradise that very day. At bottom, I have the plain reading of pretty nearly any bible you want to quote and you have your...

It's proof because the only reason that term exists in Christian doctrine is because Jesus Himself told one of the criminals hanging next to Him, "Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.” (Luke 23:43) That sounds like proof to me! How much more proof do you need? If you...

Well, once again, I am taught the lesson of never giving anyone a compliment. I mention your ability to think and the next thing you post is all but absolute proof that you try you best not to do so. The fist half of this post was written before you had ever read the post through and so is...

It depends on what you mean by "die". I disagree. Had He not intentionally laid down His life, He would never have died at all. His body was so devoid of the curse that His body didn't even decay while He was in the grave. There's no evidence that He would have ever experience the geriatric...

Of course this is true as we have not yet arrived at the day of redemption. (Philippians 3:12-14, Ephesian 4:30 ) That would depend on what is meant by "perfect", wouldn't it? The fact is that we were created with immortality in mind and so I doubt very much that there is any such potential...

Whats so hard to understand about it? There was a time when God was Spirit only and then Jesus was conceived in Mary's womb and God became flesh and took on a nature that was not only physical but human. Then He died and was resurrected with a glorified (i.e. perfect and immortal) body which...

Not the Son of God? Who else would He be? Who else could He be? Who does @Hilltrot say it is? John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. 15 John bore witness of Him and cried out...
