Immutability doesn't teach "no events". I agree that Augustinian immutability requires timelessness but that doesn't mean they're synonymous.

No. They're related but not the same. I'd say that timelessness is a corollary of immutability from within Augustinian/Calvinism thought but they are definitely not synonymous.

There are two Greek philosophical ideas that have had an inordinate impact on Christian doctrine over the centuries. Absolute immutability, where God cannot change in any way whatsoever Divine Timelessness, where God is not at all temporal and exists entirely outside of time We talk a lot...

He fails are far more than that. He's talking to you as if nothing I've ever written exists on this entire website! He isn't interested in even entertaining the notion that he may be missing something important. Let him have the fruits of his labor.

Bladerunner and probably at least one, maybe two others of you need to read the book linked to below because you're missing fully half of the gospel and producing fuel for the fire on judgement day with your works of the flesh.... Classic Christianity: Life's Too Short to Miss the Real Thing...

I'm pretty sure that you aren't using the word "obtain" in the correct way here. It certainly is not a normal way of using that word. Both Unicorns and Zeus exist as ideas. Fictional characters are a different sort of idea than the concepts of justice and authority, etc but that isn't the...

This is at least partially self-contradictory and I'm not sure that it really holds true at all. First of all there is no such thing as one non-'durative' (not a real word) point in history. History is just the past occurrence of events. Events have duration, by definition. Just as a square...

I only say "too high" because I just generally feel like it's bad form to take someone's word for it and for me, all it takes is for anything about the Greek language to be coming from him and I'm 1000% convinced by virtue of the fact that he's the one who said it. I supposed that I am not...

What could you possibly mean by this? Time exists AS AN IDEA, but not in an ontological sense. There are many such things.... Justice Authority Liberty Mathematics Space Unicorns Wakanda Zeus These things exist as concepts but they have no material substance in the same sense as your house...

I know of no issue concerning death or the bible's teaching thereof that is not solved or rendered moot by simply accepting death as a spiritual separation, either from your body (physical death) or from God (spiritual death) or both. James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead...

Honestly, maybe I have the late Pastor Hill on a bit too high of a pedestal, but that man had forgotten more about the bible and about the original languages than I'd ever learn in a hundred lifetimes. I take his word as gospel on such matters. You simply could not have cited a better source if...

I can tell from Google Earth that they're very close. I suspect that Jesus' cross was at the exact peak of that hill, by the way. Someone's house could be on that exact spot. I can't even imagine living there!

Do people believe that Jesus was crucified on the peak near the Garden Tomb and then buried at the HS site, or do those that believe he was buried at the HS site believe He was crucified somewhere near that site? At the time, both sites were outside the city, if I remember the content of the...

I'd be interested to see that explanation!

Unresponsive. Pay attention. Stop wasting my time. Yes they are. Blasphemy. That's the last straw. I'm not wasting any more time with your stupidity.

Repeat yourself all you like. Saying it doesn't make it so. Making stuff up as we go now, is that it? The history of Luther's rejection of certain Catholic doctrines is VERY well documented. We are quite certain about the content of Martin Luther's 95 Theses posted on the door of the Castle...

So it is precisely as I suspected. You DO NOT actually believe anything close to what the actual doctrine that the entire world knows as "sola scriptura" actually teaches but rather your own made up out of whole clothe version of it. Sola Scriptura is the doctrine which says the Bible alone is...

Liar. Good bye!

You are not a Christian.

Well, as evidenced by your next post, it seems that this little nugget of nonsense wasn't all you had to say. There is no such real thing as a "Bishop" based on the Catholic definition of the term.
