It's interesting (well, to me it's interesting) that all of the people who aren't exceptions, almost certainly think that they are exceptions. That means, taking the group as a whole, if you're one who "knows that you're an exception", the likelihood is that you aren't one. Then the same...

I was, of course, speaking in very general terms. The exceptions all know who they are.

As predicted. What must it be like to be so totally blind? I'm bored. I don't have time to be bored. The only fruit this could bear is proving that you still belong on my ignore list. That fruit is now fully ripe.

This begs the question. Is there anyone on this website that knows how to think clearly? Could you maybe try to answer my questions with answers that cannot be responded to with the exact same question?

Yes, that's part of how I know he'll never move an inch off his stupidity, no matter who says what to him. The bible doesn't matter, simple reason doesn't matter, nothing matters to him but his belief. He doesn't even believe what he believes for any reason he can articulate. If reason doesn't...

Of course it doesn't. I'm not stupid like most of the morons on this website. I can prove it. And, by the way, I mean PROVE, as in establish it as factual. I do not mean that I can make a sort of nice sounding semantic statement that makes it go down smoothly. I mean that I can prove it. Do...

Why do you believe this?

No. Open Theism acknowledges this as true but we do not merely say it, as if it is a matter of opinion or that we simply decide arbitrarily that this is what we desire to believe. It is simply a fact that we decide we aren't going to ignore. We do not "apply" anything to that verse. We simply...

He didn't. God did not create Satan, He created Lucifer (that was Satan's name before he rebelled against God). God did not know that Lucifer would rebel. At most he expected it and He certainly planned for it, but that is not the same thing as "creating the being who He knew would become...

No, you believe it because you were taught it. The bible says precisely nothing about any such concept as "eternal now". That concept is from Greek philosophy. Specifically Plato. You believe it because the idea was imported into Christianity chiefly through the writings of Augustine, whose...

Which is more strange?... The Christian that cares about whether their doctrine makes sense and can (and does) make legitimate arguments for their doctrine. or... The one who refuses to make any actual argument at all to the point that those he interacts with cannot even tell if he...

If you can refute a single syllable of it, I'd hear it gladly. You won't even make an attempt! You want to pretend like you're smart enough to use terms like "ad hominem," but every time you do, all you accomplish is proving that you don't even know what the term means or how it's properly...

Nor will he answer it. He cannot. At least not without blowing up his own religion. He can't do it because, as irrational as they (Calvinists) are, they can't escape the reality in which they exist, a reality which functions in such a way that reason actually does work. In other words, they...

I used to find it amusing when people would use the language of reason (e.g., “therefore”) while spouting totally absurd gibberish that they’d done exactly ZERO actual thinking to arrive at. Now it's just annoying. It's just stupidity, made to sound intelligent. When it's done on purpose, as...

You watch too many YouTube videos. You should try watching On Patrol Live. You'd have a very much more accurate understanding of what police officers do and why they do it. Police are not violent, they're scared. That's right, they're scared. They are trained to be scared to death that they...

You don't think that police officers are trained to know nervous behavior when they see it? Please explain. Backwards, how? By the way, I'm no great big fan of police officers and I'm not denying that there isn't a great deal of stuff that goes on that is very very wrong. I'm just saying that...

I entirely agree that this is definitely an important aspect of Open Theism's theology proper but I'd stop short of calling it a primary premise. The primary premise(s) of Open Theism are God's qualitative attributes. It is the fact that God is loving and just (and in all ways righteous) that...

I saw no evidence of that in the video my comment was in response to. On the contrary, that guy was acting suspicious by almost any measure. I grant that our laws in this country are dumb and counter productive but that cop wasn't.

Wow!
