I wonder if TG realizes that JR doesn't dispute that Jesus taught exact what she is claiming that He taught? 🤔

My statements were not intended to make any commentary about the King James Bible per se. The actual origin of the use of the term "word" is not relevant to the point. My point was merely that the only reason any English dictionary has any reference similar to definition #7 in the one you cited...

I don't understand how you can get something like this so wrong and mix it together with stuff that you get so correct that effectively refutes what you got wrong. You start by totally getting the appeal to authority fallacy wrong and then go on to explain a terrific reason why an appeal to...

There was no other conclusion to draw other than that you were mischaracterizing my position because you repeatedly refused to make an argument. I literally had to goad you into making any sort of explanation at all and even that was pathetically unsubstantial. What you've posted here is the...

You're wrong of course. I just got through proving it. Of course they say whatever they want but, as I seem to never stop telling people, saying it doesn't make it so. So you allow an argument that you openly admit that you don't really understand to defeat the single most tested idea in all...

In fact it can be proven that life COULD NOT have come into being purely by natural means. The most fundamental laws of science and perhaps the most tested single idea in all of human history is the law on entropy. The effect very simply cannot be greater than the cause. Substance does not...

That last line of your post is the central point (or at least a very important one). The fact is that truth is truth. There are not multiple kinds of truth. There is not spiritual truth and scientific truth. There are truths that may fall into those separate categories in regards to their...

Your misunderstanding / mischaracterization of my point(s) is not the equivalent of my actual point(s). "The Word was with God and the Word was God" & "The Word become flesh and dwelt among us." The use of "word" in the above manner carries no meaning in English. That just simply isn't the way...

Saying it doesn't make it so, Derf. Of course yes you are trying to avoid the argument which is why you won't make it. I could beg you fifty times to make the argument and you would never ever do it. I know that for a fact because I've already told you that I don't see you point and that you'll...

It is not okay to be anti-American in America. That isn't okay. It's called sedition and it is not okay. Moral bias is fine so long as your bias is in fact moral and not immoral. It is not okay to advocate the harm of others. Religious bias is fine as well so long as that bias doesn't have as...

The problem isn't with controlling content per se, its doing so with a clear political bias that is so pronounced and obvious that no rational person could begin to deny that it exists. Not only that but these big social media giants aren't merely controlling the content on their websites...

No! Sabbath observance is not a moral issue. Obeying God is a moral issue but God could have just as easily not required Sabbath observance and no one would have been doing anything wrong, including God. It is a religious command given to have several effects on the nation of Israel...

You aren't talking about the same thing, freeloader. See post #53

Excess deaths has been a commonly used metric in statistical analysis of all kinds of morbidities for probably hundreds of years or for many decades at the very least. The expected increase in death would be totally irrelevant to the excess death number because they are just that, expected...

That seems backward to me. I am saying the opposite. It is our English translations that do not carry the connotation that "logic" does carry. It's impossible to tell for sure what you even mean because all you can be bothered with is one sentence posts. Regardless of whether I've understood...

Nope. I don't see it. You'll have to spell it out for me. My thesis is that God Himself is Reason. How can God be used to usurp Himself?

Repeating your position does not make the refutation of it go away. Category error. Man is under God's authority. As such we are subject to His commands and it would be sinful for us to disobey Him. God can and has given laws that have nothing to do with morality per se. Laws concerning...

Saying it doesn't make it so. Make the argument.

I didn't choose the abstraction. Logos is a Greek word that has a meaning and just as in any language, the word has a sphere of meaning that varies with and is determined by the context in which the word is used. The best word to use to translate the use of "Logos" in John chapter one into...

That is flatly false and is incompatible with any flavor of Christian doctrine. When it comes to right and wrong and God's character, God truly is wholly and absolutely immutable. As such God does not determine what right and wrong is. God is righteous. He didn't decide to become righteous nor...
