TL;DR: "A removal mechanism controlled by the king cannot restrain him. A removal mechanism not controlled by the king outranks him." Clete, I'm going to answer posts 303 and 307 together, because the removal mechanism in 303 depends on the altered judicial structure in 307. Let me start...

Maybe. But visibility is being assumed here. Under HPT, the early Flood atmosphere would not have been a clear night sky with a convenient view of meteors. The fountains of the great deep would have put enormous amounts of water vapor, spray, cloud, mist, sediment, and debris into the...

Saying it doesn't make it so. As Clete said, appeal to tradition fallacy. James 2 proves Abraham’s faith was demonstrated by his obedience, not that God exhaustively foreknew Abraham’s obedience before Genesis 22. That is not special pleading; Genesis 22 and James 2 fit together just fine...

You can thank the "cash for clunkers" programs for that.

They don't have the callouses of effort to soften the blow.

You're a legalist, Idolater.

Because you don't rightly divide. Take off the catholic glasses, so that you can see clearly. Not once in the Bible does Paul preach the remission of sins. That should tell you something. In fact, the only times the word is used is in Matthew once, Mark once, Luke thrice, Acts twice, and...

There's a number of things wrong with everything you said here. But allow me to summarize with a few proverbs and Bible verses: - “No man should be judge in his own cause.” - “The fox should not guard the henhouse.” - “We investigated ourselves and found ourselves free of any wrongdoing.”...

He did. There were new people being added daily to it. Acts 2:47. They're two different churches. Why is that so hard for you to accept? Jesus only talked about the first one because the second one was still at that time a mystery kept secret. It was only after His people (as a whole)...

Most of these issues are the result of bad law and policies implemented over a long period of time. Many if not most of the people in law enforcement are generally good people with good intentions. Unfortunately, because of those bad policies and bad laws, and especially given the last several...

Jesus was going to build His church upon Himself, rather than the law of Moses. Not the Apostles. The New Covenant was with the same two parties as the Old Covenant.

Correct. And Peter isn't the foundation. Jesus is. Correct. Paul said: For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in...

Thread derailment. Take it to a different thread, please.

No. I am simply applying a single definition of knowledge to both cases. Knowledge means knowledge. Foreknowledge means prior knowledge. The difference between man’s knowledge and God’s knowledge is not that the word “knowledge” changes meaning when applied to God. God’s knowledge is...

@Clete something else to consider is that the floodwaters remained on the earth for nearly half a year after the initial rupture. It's possible that much of the debris fell into the global ocean during that time.
