For a secular nation such as the US? No, not really.

Thanks. What does this have to do with the topic of the thread?

It could/should be delegated, but would have to be signed off by the king, forcing him to stand by whatever is written. Could probably have two people do it ("two or three witnesses"), and the King sign off on both accounts, to deter falsehoods from being entered. Of course, this could just as...

@Clete, I put the proposed constitution into ChatGPT to explore the structure of it, and see if I could address some of the issues people have with it, and I've now been surprised by what it suggested, as it seems like a REALLY good idea! I'm not sure if you have access to the pdf forms of the...

Or, you know, it could save your life. I think the risks are outweighed by that one benefit. It's why I always carry a gun. Dangerous freedom is good.

Seems I'm slacking!

Couldn't find the post I was looking for, but this one will do fine:

The government should protect minorities from majority rule, not impose it upon them.

Are you asking me or are you telling me? Because as far as I can tell, the article is discussing the ramifications of the view, not making a claim one way or the other. No idea. I don't claim the future is settled. It's not my position to defend. I'm simply pointing out the logical...

Posting this here for future reference:

Correct. He would.

No, He wasn't. His body was, the flesh-tent that He indwelt at the incarnation, that grew for 9 months in His mother's womb, and then for another 33 years until He was crucified. But Jesus Christ was not created. Jesus Christ was not created. He IS the Creator! You're literally denying...

That's.... Not how this works at all. God exists in the present. The future does not exist. The past is just a memory. God deals in the here and now, to affect the outcome that may or may not happen. If we use the chess analogy: God doesn't need to know every future move of His opponent in...

No. I'm saying that IF the future is settled (and/or infallibly foreknown exhaustively), then neither God nor man has free will.

Because He did. Because He did. Straw man. Jesus BECAME a man at the incarnation. It would help if you actually were arguing against what scripture says. They are the same Person, Doug. Jesus is both man AND God. He was not a man prior to the incarnation, but He was God. After the...

I presume you mean "linchpin"? It's not so much as "removes" as "was never there to begin with." Question: Was God ever free to choose? Read the article I posted earlier. Here's the link again: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/free-will-foreknowledge/

It's not. You're literally that dumb. And you're telling us smart people that we don't know what some big-boy words mean.

See the "supposition of infallible foreknowledge" bit. No. It's not an assumption. There is no "assumption" in what I posted above. The supposition is "infallible foreknowledge." This is what we're testing, to see what the logical conclusion of it is. The logical conclusion is, based on the...
