Re: Understanding the Trinity

hmm, so the writer of these passages, though he was inspired by God to write them, was merely making it up? y:-? May I ask you not to offer that sort of response? No one thinks God was "making up" anything in Scripture. If you are honestly asking why God would use anthropomorphisms rather...

Re: The Mistranslation Argument

Not acceptable. You're committing an act of terrorism. I know because social justice warriors told me that if I don't use their preferred names and pronouns then I'm inciting violence and pushing people to suicide. SO STOP OPPRESSING ME! I DEMAND YOU CALL ME ZIR ROYAL MAJESTY BABA YAGA!!!

Re: Understanding the Trinity

ok. while i agree that God is the creator of this world, and is not contingent on us for His existance, i have to disagree that He is immaterial. He has features just like we do. He has feet, hands, a backside, and a face. Although no human has ever seen Him, that is merely because no one can look ...

Re: Understanding the Trinity

Short answer, yes. As obvious an assumption as that is, though, even that is the necessarily conclusion of a more basic assumption, which is this: God is 1) Creator of this world; and 2) is not contingent on us for His existence. Those--what a philosopher named Alvin Plantinga called the Sovereignty...

K posted before I finished my reply -- he is exactly correct and said much of the same thing I did in fewer words.

Re: Understanding the Trinity

I've been following the discussion about the Trinity -- but I don't understand your ' differentiates two apples, two humans, and two angels'. I don't see the relevance. I hope the above helps, and if the discussion continues, I'm sure it will become clearer still. Scripture teaches the role of the ...

Re: Understanding the Trinity

So does this mean you aren't going to tell me what, for you, differentiates two apples, two humans, and two angels? You said no one is answering your arguments. I'm trying to do so. Or would you rather me assume what you believe and put words in your mouth? how is this answering anything? it is mer...

Re: RTB: Serious Problems with Evolution

I'm curious who Audie has in mind, as while Wise has made the claim she's talking about, I've not seen it repeated here. Even as frustratingly intractable as ACB is with his gappery nonsense, he at least pays lip service to the notion he could be wrong. I really don't know anybody here who has claim...

Re: Understanding the Trinity

Of course polytheism is atheism. Monotheism, especially biblical monotheism, doesn't say that there just happens to be one God, as if there might just happen to be only one apple in a grocery store. I mean, go read what the OT says about God's view on other "gods." The Bible is very clear ...
