    Don't drive drunk. https://us.cnn.com/2023/05/16/us/colorado-dog-driver-dui-arrest/index.html “The driver attempted to switch places with his dog who was in the passenger seat, as the SPD officer approached and watched the entire process,” the post said. “The male party then exited the...

    "The End of the World(TM)"?

    For both Ashkenazim and other blood descendants of Abraham, and for Christians, the Messiah is not currently visibly reigning on an Earthly throne, so in what way politically might He reign now while He is seated at the right hand of the Father? Suppose a constitutional monarchy where the...

    Can God lie?

    I learned a lot of valuable information about MAD here too. OV means Open View. It was really the first distinctive thing I noticed about TOL back in the day was that a lot of users preferred the Open View or Open Theism to what they always called Classical Theism which meant God foresees with...

    Can God lie?

    It's used to be Theology Online, meaning, you could be and argue any theology position you liked, but it is definitely partisan now; there is a favored theology here now (since change of legal ownership). The presumed but not published official theology here now is OV MAD. You can't...

    Can God lie?

    How do you know what they are? How do you identify them? I think that one is a very particular one too. Like a singularity. You need a singularity like that to annul and or amend Moses, which is what Christ and the New Covenant had to do. Was it the right thing? And if so why? What makes...

    Can God lie?

    You mean his "farewell" message in air-quotes. I mean this one seemed a little more reserved than others he's posted, but I still think dollars to donuts he ain't done yet lol.

    Can God lie?

    But is this still relevant today? "The larger evil" is, if I'm understanding you, what you mentioned later: Since that's now over, does this mean that lying goes back to being absolutely wrong, in all cases and under all conditions? iow does this mean @Hoping has been correct all along? That...

    Suicidality and the Second Amendment

    You may be on to something. I had been thinking about it in terms of root causes. Certain things are known to correlate with suicide, e.g. loneliness or seclusion, despair or depression, gender dysphoria, and childhood sexual abuse. Also, suicide's "contagious." Interesting thoughts JR. idk...

    Can God lie?

    This is you: "I'ld hate to think you consider anyone's life more important than what God, and Jesus, thought of lying " "Choose right now. Which is more important to you...obedience to God, or your family?" What are you even doing? Why are you pitting the health and safety of our families...

    Is death just another life?

    Ministerial priests (e.g. bishops) "celebrate" Mass differently from common priests (all the rest of us). I'm saying Paul is not saying that Church bishops should ever stop celebrating the Eucharist. It should stop for non-Catholics, Derf. That's what you just proved. Even if it's...

    Can God lie?

    When God said He would destroy Nineveh, but then He didn't, was that a lie? Did this make Him untrustworthy? Isn't it exactly what Titus 1:2 said that He cannot do?

    Can God lie?

    The context ipso facto limits it to such, else, why even bother considering context (and I mean generally)? Isn't that what context provides? The context is that the text is talking about X, so therefore, the text is talking about X. It's straightforward, isn't it? Titus 1:2 doesn't say...

    Can God lie?

    Seems to me that the context suggests that the lying in Titus 1:2 is of a certain type or kind of lying. God cannot or will not say that something's going to happen, and then it doesn't happen. I'd say that's the particular kind of lying alluded to in Titus 1:2, I think that to interpret it to...
