LSBG seems not to understand what it means to be dead. He's thinking, I'd wager, that to be dead means to no longer exist. "How can a dead (non-existent) person do anything, much less bring Himself back from non-existence?"

After that post from Derf and the mention of God winning, this seems like a terrific place to inject the following into the discussion, especially since I had very little reaction to it when I put it in it's own thread. It speaks directly to the point about God winning... The following is based...

You can stop saying stupid things of this nature. It only succeeds in making YOU look stupid. I mean, seriously! Is this the "logic and reason" that you base you worldview on? Stupidity. It is not a presumption as I've already explained. It is an argument and I'm quite certain that you know it...

Alright, so your responses just sort of angered me yesterday and I'm really trying hard to not respond so often when my response is more a reaction than anything else and so with that in mind, I'm going to post a new, more dispassionate response to your reaction to the argument I've presented...

Impossible. Literally this is impossible. Since when do we formulate our doctrines on extra-biblical sources, Idolater? Hmm? They definitely were NOT expecting any such thing. Had they done so, they would not have agreed with Paul to stay in Jerusalem and minister only to the circumcision. In...

Perhaps, but that's more benefit of the doubt than I am willing to give.

NO! That was not my argument AT ALL!!! Perhaps you're more stupid than you pretend. Read a book, Avajs. I mean seriously! This is down right stupidity! You don't have the brains for a whole book. Read this... The Foundations of Modern Society in Technology and Scientific Progress The...

But made no mention of the basis upon which the rejection was made except for the red herring of your flogging Christianity for all the crimes of humanity. Saying it doesn't make it so, Avjs. I DO NOT base it on any declaration of the bible. I did not make any attempt whatsoever to make a...

That's silliness and biased nonsense. Christianity is the single greatest thing that has ever happened to this world and it almost single-handedly responsible for practically everything that makes your comfortable life possible, not to mention the fact that you're likely to live at all past the...

@Avajs, I feel compelled to thank you. I have been here doing this for more than two decades and in all that time, you are the first, the very first atheist who has stuck around long enough to allow me to make that full argument. They ALWAYS vanish! They show up with all the bravado and sass...

You, along with all atheists, declare that faith is out of bounds; that all truth must be established by reason, yet you cannot establish that claim without assuming the validity of the very logic you seek to establish. That's an act of circularity called begging the question. If, on the other...

I think its literally funny, as in laughably idiotic, that Lon, who has been here for years discussing this topic with any number of open theists in countless different separate discussions from hundreds of different directions and still he refuses to understand that open theism isn't about free...

(y) No. The statement "All truth claims must be established by means of logic and reason." is itself a truth claim. How would you establish that claim?

So, no one has anything to say in response to that?!! I was playing around with GPT and took an old essay I wrote years ago and, after discussing it with GPT for a while I had GPT rewrite it as if it were an apostle writing an epistle to a fellow believer. I completely loved the result! I...

There wasn't and your hideous doctrine on this issue is not biblical at all and down right blasphemous. There are Calvinists who would recoil at the implications of your doctrine. Lucifer was still an Arch Angel at the time and would have had every right to be in the Garden. His rebellion began...

It is usually not their logic that is flawed per se, it is their presuppositions.

Not in the way you mean it. I'll explain shortly. Just to be clear before moving on, was this your endorsement of the idea that all truth claims must be established by means of logic and reason? It's not a trick question or anything. That is what atheists typically believe. I just don't want to...

Where is the BC AD calendar system mentioned in the Bible? And I trust all sorts of sources outside the bible for all kinds of different things. Who has ever suggested anything similar to "only people like Josephus"? NO ONE! What theological point did I make based on Josephus as a primary...

I couldn't bring myself to make a new account. They're just so hypocritical. I can't take it.

That math does not work! The guy who came up with our current callender started it in the wrong place. First of all, he had no year zero and so that automatically puts it off by one year. Also, the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus recorded that Herod died shortly after a lunar eclipse and...
