God seems to pull things toward mass, the mathematical model of what God's doing we call gravity, a "force." But God's actually the force.

We agree that this is supposed to be a picture of the kingdom of Heaven, right? This is a parable about the kingdom?

Do you think He told them that because it was arbitrary, or do you think He told them that because morality is objectively true and real? iow did God just make up the law about abstaining from that one tree? as a sort of test maybe? or did He merely tell them the morally necessary truth, which...

Satan whispered to Eve, whereas Cain killed Abel. I'm just saying the latter is the violence which resulted from the former. I don't necessarily think we're at odds.

When someone says "war" without qualification (iow not like Ephesians 6:12) we're permitted to think of flesh and blood warfare. Also even spiritual warfare can and often does manifest in the physical World as violence.

It began with Cain. But I get that you don't trust these people. I've learned to trust the process. Salute the rank, not the man.

This is lascivious, why are we doing this?

He's not bad to listen to in the background, I'll give you that.

Does he teach authoritative, canonical Dispensationalism? I'm still looking for that.

idk if Duffy said this but the map makes it look like the seven churches here are just like on the edge of Asia, but in fact they are pretty well dispersed throughout the whole Roman province or territory which was called Asia. It's not like Asia was Russia and China and India, it was like just...

From the first time I looked at a map I always thought the locations of these churches was interesting. I did not ever know what to make of it, but it was provocative:

Yes. I see the steward loving himself, and I see the master loving the steward.

So you are a Seventh Day Adventist then. I mean it's either that or a Messianic Jew I guess? Wow. OK. I'll drop it.

That's an interesting passage. So the servant is thinking, "I love my master, plus, if I go, he's going to keep my wife and kids for himself. So I'll stay." That's an interesting choice. I'm sure culturally it was different then and usually people would just up and leave their wife and...

So your concern all along has been the invasion of religion into politics? iow you believe in the separation between Church and State, and when Constantine made his edict of Laodicea or whatever it was is ... what? to you? Is that like when the Church lost her purity or innocence in history...

When Scripture says God is light, is it metaphor? like when it says God is love? or God is holy? or God is One? or God is a rock? Or are we supposed to take it literally? Because if the Scripture is literal where it says God is light, then of course light is not created. But if light is...

Meaning the Church oughtn't condescend to anybody no matter how confused and disordered and demon possessed they might be. Who's saying otherwise? I actually don't know exactly what you're talking about, so I'll perhaps haphazardly suppose that you're concerned about transgender people being...

It has to do with "Christian observance," "innovation," "during the reign of Constantine," and, "has no scriptural backing." Isn't this all about Sunday and the Lord's Day and when the Church /churches would gather together to break bread? Are you saying the interpretation of the Lord's Day...

He's emphasizing that they are of equal value to all the other humans. See? Partisan.
