Well, I have to admit that this is better than I expected. You're far ahead of most who show up here saying the sorts of things you've been saying. The vast majority never bother to acknowledge that the question was ever asked, much less actually offer an answer. This, however, does not solve...

No one here would ever suggest that there isn't anything to learn from the books of the bible that weren't written by Paul. The entire Old Testament, the teachings of Jesus in the Gospels and the New Testament books from Hebrews through Revelation are all scripture and "profitable for teaching...

I haven't read a single syllable past that comma (you'll just have to take my word for it) but I'd bet my last dime that you won't finish this sentence without assigning a label to yourself. HA!! I promise! I really hadn't read past the comma! Why do people so habitually contradict themselves...

Notice that the verses b57 cites do not teach what he is trying to get you to believe! B57 wants for you to believe that Christ only died for some specific number of people and that everyone else is without hope because Jesus didn't die for them and so it makes no difference what they do, say...

No, I don't think that. What do you mean, anyway? What's strange about existence itself? I can't even imagine how it would make sense to say such a thing. Strange compared to what?

Are you a Christian? (Real question.) If so, then I recommend that you start to think biblically rather than materialistically. Sure, there is plenty about God that we can learn from observing His creation but not nearly what is available to us through the Bible, which, if you're a Christian...

Let me do it for him. Getting vowels to say anything worthwhile is an exercise in self-torture. Based on uranium-lead dating, there is a tinsy-winsy little piece of zircon that is "at least" 4.4 billion years old. Because there isn't any way at all that lead could possibly find its way into...

The portion at the link about thorns simply makes the claim that thorns are "blooms which fail to open" but does even try to substantiate that claim. I'm not questioning whether thorns existed before the Fall but merely the contention that thorns are blooms which fail to open. If you cut an...

This is the very first time I've ever heard anyone make the claim that thorns are unopened blooms. I very much doubt that is correct. Thorns are modified stems, not flowers as evidenced by the fact that thorny plants have thorns whether they are flowering or not, most thorny plants produce both...

Let me guess... After 550 posts, the answer so far is, "No."

Oh, for crying out loud! Just leave already. Go find someone who will coddle you and rock you sleep so you can stop crying. Maybe they'll carry you to a bed with little bars around it lest you fall out and hurt yourself.

You're a Christian first. Your first allegience isn't to the Constitution of the United States but to God's word and righteousness. You cannot preserve the rights of some by trampling on the rights of others, Idolater! I can't possibly work. It's the ideology that you think you have. I don't...

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Good grief! You aren't going to start crying are you? No one is going to ban you for answering a direct question about whether you believe that God authored the bible. If He didn't who gives a damn whether it's allegorical or not? By the way, there isn't a...

You're an idiot. You need to wake up!

Saying it doesn't make it so. Besides, we have universal legal services, free of charge, in all criminal proceedings already. Just ask someone who's ever been represented by a free lawyer whether he was worth more than what he got paid? I suppose it depends on your definition of slave. It is...

All my posts are still here for the entire world to read, Idolater. I've not only already answered this question, in principle, I just got through answering it again! Asked and answered! I EXPLICITLY stated, "God is the Logos, not a light bulb!" That, I'm pretty sure, is a verbatim quote from...

Been there! Irrelevant. It was a statement of fact. You can pay as little or as much attention to it as you choose. The point is that I will not waste time with people who refuse to answer direct questions with substantive answers. I was simply telling you that you have a choice. You can be...

No, it wouldn't. It would just turn lawyers into slaves and you'd get the same quality of legal representation from them that you'd expect from any other sort of slave. Do you like the quality of service we're getting out of public school teachers? I can promise you that lawyers would be worse...

Asked and answered. The context determines it. Not just the context of the specific verse but of the whole bible as well. God did not create Himself but God did create light, Idolater. Light, unlike space and time, is a physical thing that exists in the physical/created universe. If God were...

Oh boy, here we go! That's because it sounded to me like that was your point. You didn't say it outright but you did a Mexican hat dance around it three times. It isn't the same question and your less than direct answer is what left the door open, not my question. I didn't declare anything...
