    On the omniscience of God

    You seem incapable of reading me at all. What could I possibly have written that would lead you to make such a conclusion? I consider any Non-Catholic Christian who believes either that God predestined everything or is in control of all that happens, to be a Calvinist, whether they call...

    On the omniscience of God

    Yes, Southern Baptist does not equal Calvinist, that's definitely true. There is a growing segment of the denomination that is Calvinist, however. I attended one near Tulsa that was "officially" Calvinist, although they more or less avoided talking about controversial issues like predestination...

    On the omniscience of God

    This is a very good post that goes a long way towards basically saying outright something that I've noticed for years. That being the fact that most regular people don't actually believe hardly any of the five points of Calvinism. They think they do but the fact is that they don't really...

    On the omniscience of God

    Let's put it this way.... If he still believes the things he said in the thread that Lon posted a link to about "God's prescriptive and decretive will" then he's still a Calvinist. I'd be willing to bet dollars to donuts that he still does and is. He wouldn't be the first Calvinist who didn't...

    On the omniscience of God

    It's been over a decade since I've discussed anything with him. Perhaps he's repented but he was a Calvinist when he was here and unless he's significantly altered his beliefs, then he's a Calvinists whether he calls himself that or not.

    On the omniscience of God

    James Hilston is as strident a Calvinist as has ever posted a single syllable on this website! He's a far more logically consistent and intellectually honest Calvinist than even Dr. Lamerson who debated Bob Enyart in Battle Royale X. What's more is that he would actually respond directly to the...

    What Time Dilation ACTUALLY Is In Relativity (Hint: It has nothing to do with time)

    The two videos below are, without a doubt, the best videos I have ever seen that deal with Einstein's Theory of Relativity in a manner that does not require the ontological existence of time or space and the difference between physics (ontological) vs. mathematics (epistemological). "It is not...

    On the omniscience of God

    It's an assertion that is backed up by decades worth of my own personal observation. There isn't a single Christian alive anywhere on Earth that I've ever met, seen in person, watched on video, heard on the radio or debated on the internet that does not live their lives as though Open Theism is...

    Top 10 Reasons the Universe is Electric (Electric Universe Theory)

    I read through the last several dozen posts on this thread earlier this morning. I have to say that I feel like I had a pretty good handle on things back more than seven years ago. I feel about the same now about the Electric Universe Theory as I did then, which is to say that I'm convinced that...

    Religious Zealotry

    So, not half an hour after I hit "Post reply" on my last post, I heard this story on the radio.... "According to the Harris County Sheriff's Office, a 7- and 12-year-old are accused of stabbing a 59-year-old woman, sending her to the hospital in critical condition."...

    Religious Zealotry

    I'm not certain that a five year old child would be capable of committing a capital crime. Capital crimes are all intentional acts (i.e. accidents are not crimes). Most capital crimes are completely impossible for a five year old to commit. Such a child could not commit adultery for obvious...

    On the omniscience of God

    I've rarely seen his equal. No redeeming qualities.

    On the omniscience of God

    ....and that God the Son chose to offer Himself, to intentionally lay down His own life and Who took it up again by the Holy Spirit. Sort of total team effort, you might say, especially when one considered the fact the the Three are all One.

    what is the meaning of John 3:3 ?

    You were saying that if Paul had authored Hebrews it would cause confusion. I agree.

    what is the meaning of John 3:3 ?

    Do you really think so? It seems like it would just be one piece of trivia that wouldn't be true as it is currently. Why would a variation of greeting style cause confusion?

    what is the meaning of John 3:3 ?

    Every epistle (letter) THAT WE HAVE that Paul wrote happens to begin with his name, yes, but that isn't a determinative piece of evidence because it isn't impossible for him to have written a letter that started with something other than his name. It is the context of the the book of Hebrews...

    On the omniscience of God

    He doesn't. The only thing he thought about when he wrote that stupidity was how bad it would make Open Theism sound. If you think that accusation was the result of some sort of rational thought process, you'd better think again. He doesn't ever think analytically about anything. His entire...

    On the omniscience of God

    This is blasphemous stupidity that you knew was false when you wrote it. This was an outright, intentional lie! I will never understand why you're permitted to post such things. The proof being that you WILL NOT ever even attempt to establish such an obviously asinine accusation. You yourself...

    On the omniscience of God

    Omniscience is not mentioned in Isaiah 46:10. That's you and others who, for whatever reason, what to ascribe the attributes of pagan false gods to the real God, read into that text. Isaiah 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying...

    what is the meaning of John 3:3 ?

    There is no reason to believe that Paul wrote Hebrews.
