This last weekend my wife and I were browsing through the internet looking for a video of good hymns to listen to on Sunday morning. The one we landed on was recorded at a church that had the word Grace in its name. I forget exactly what it was, but that’s not important. The point is that I’ve...

Let me understand this claim. Are suggesting that you asked God a question and you got a direct answer from God's lips to your ears? Is that what you are claiming or was this some sort of figure of speech or what? That's 100% a real question. I am not making fun of you or being sarcastic or...

I wouldn't mind if they'd engage in two-way discussion and debate.

You are a lying wolf in sheep's clothing! As if Matthew and Luke weren't Jewish Christians!

I've added a major chunk of material to the "God is Relational" essay. It occured to me that it needed to establish that all three, Father, Son and Holy Spirit are God. Here's the revised version.... God is Relational God is love, shared. God is not a solitary being, closed in upon Himself...

I'd just about bet my house that you've never recited it at all. Not even one single time. You made this up, didn't you? Go ahead admit it. You've never been any sort of Christian at all. The natural laws are neither eternal, absolute nor unchanging. What are you even talking about? There's...

Why are people allowed to simply ignore every single thing anyone says and just post blatant heresies as if this was their own personal 'Heresy Central' blog posting website?

To try and be better is to trust in the flesh and to disbelieve that you're righteousness is in Christ and in Him only. Every attempt you make to be righteous is a tacit admission that you aren't already so, by imputation. We are saved UNTO good works not BY good works. Works are a result not a...

You're are a dishonest waste of my time. Welcome to my ignore list.

Heretical STUPIDITY! I mean - WOW! Why do such people even bother with reading the bible at all? Just go make up a religion and preach that! Stop making people think you're a Christian! We don't want you on our side!

You're going to get laughed out of the room if you start accusing me of being unresponsive. I respond until I'm practically blue in the face when the people I'm interacting with are actually responsive themselves. What I’m not interested in is repeating myself endlessly while someone pretends to...

I understood the point. It was an excellent one. I was simply building on it. Bob used to appeal to common sense from time to time. He often talked about how the bible has the flavor of truth, paraphrasing Job 34:3, which is the same concept as common sense. So, the idea has it's place in bible...

In actual practice, common sense is the use of sound practical judgment derived from experience rather than any sort specialized knowledge or training. It's the internal compass that helps people make everyday decisions in ordinary situations, without needing to stop and analyze everything in...

The above post concludes part 1. I'll start on part 2 as soon as time allows.

Concluding Reflections on God’s Qualitative Nature Everything we have seen so far concerns the kind of being God is. We have not yet spoken of how much He knows, how powerful He is, or how long He has existed. Those are important matters, but they are not primary. The true foundation of...

I was being kind. There was effectively no argument made at all. I see. So scripture walls are going to be a regular feature with you. Okay. That's fine. It's hard to follow but I've seen worse. So, your solution is to not make an argument? I don't get it. My "preconceived idea" is that...

Define common sense! You're either unable or unwilling to establish what you claim is common sense with anything more substantial that your own declaration of your doctrine and text-book examples of how to read that doctrine into the text of scripture.

God is Good Because God is Living, Personal, Relational, and Logic, it necessarily follows that He is good. Not merely by declaration or by force of will, but by nature and by necessity. Any being who Life itself, who is personal rather than impassible, who exists in perfect relational harmony...

Okay, so with this next essay, I sort of begin a process that is going to have the effect of destroying the three by seven structure I presented God's attributes in when I started the thread. I've realized that being holy, righteous, just, loving, wise, etc are all part of what it means to be...
