There is no absolute fallacy in appealing to authority to establish some types of propositions. For example dictionaries are authorities that we all happily 'appeal to' when establishing the meaning of words. We all Christians 'appeal to authority' in the Scripture. We make these valid...

Catholic chastity is a better learning environment, agreed.

Yes. Together. Of course you don't. Everybody sees the "news" "sources" that you and your anarchism prefers.

I said "and".

Do you think Jesus hid it from them, or do you think "this saying was hid from them" was just saying, they did not 'get it'? I've never denied any scripture you've quoted, including the one above. It's there. It does not mean that Jesus didn't teach the 'DBR'. He did.

Show where the Old Covenant includes the sacrificial death of a perfect Man for the remission of sins for all those who believe in Him, iow the 'DBR'?

Am I getting through to you sonny?

Not when He taught them the 'DBR' before it happened. That was New Covenant.

Telling the truth doesn’t necessarily always equal telling the accurate. When Samson rightly lied to Delilah he was telling the truth, but when he told Delilah the accurate, there he erred, and grievously. He should have continued to lie. But when you hear 'lie,' you hear, 'not telling the...

Valedictorian material for sure

Then you should prefer the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times.

What?!!!! No.

I'd prefer it as well, and I endorse it anyway. But for some reason, it just feels right to point out to for example gun controllers, that their gun control laws deny the right to keep and bear arms from Blacks, and women, and Latinos, and homosexuals and LGBTQI+( ... ), not just everybody...

I don't believe in evolution, and I don't find my position difficult at all. Whether or not evolution generated the species is not a matter of biology, not until evolution actually is observed generating a new species. Until then, it's an opinion, and it's an opinion whose bailiwick is...

I'm not. I without reservation recommend that people not sin to the best of their ability and as their circumstances allow.

Deliberately.

Then why don't you change your tune? Because the tune your singing right now sounds like to all the world like sinless judgmental fundamentalist legalistic perfectionism. That's not of Christ, that's not the Gospel, that's not the New Testament, that's none of those things. I haven't "gained"...

I cannot understand why a PhD of any discipline would be hesitant about declaring unwavering support for the absolute human right against be raped. Why risk being seen as a rape apologist? Why not instead just agree, there exists a universal human right, that all women everywhere possess...

There is no valid appeal to authority about how old the world is. No one was there to see it. No one was there with a calendar, 'starting the clock'. There's no time keeping device that was there at the foundation of the world. Cosmology is informed by science, but ultimately it's...

What other kinds of arguments are there, where valid appeals to authority do exist? Who publishes yourlogicalfallacyis-dot-com? Before I click the link. I don't recognize this website.
