God never said that it was wrong for Cain to do it and He didn't say it was wrong at all until after the flood. It became something leading to death because of the way our DNA degrades over long periods of time. The more mutations exist, the more likely inbreeding would cause problems in the...

There was never any such thing as God "putting the Earth back together", for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them. (Exodus 20:11)

Hypocrite! So you're saying it wasn't a "revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ"? Or was this just you attempting to ignore the point?

Excellent point! You should read Walt Brown's book on this exact topic. Hydroplate Theory

Yes, accidentally.

So then what changed, Tambora? If what you say is so, then why is there even a New Testament? The only thing you said here that is accidentally correct is that God's selection of Israel (i.e. the nation) wasn't because of that nation's own righteousness. Everything else you've said completely...

I have a great idea! Whenever someone interesting comes along who is open to the ideas that we are trying to disseminate with this website, let's embarrass them like crazy the first time they say the wrong thing, no matter how minor the offense it creates! That way they'll leave and never come...

Great

So just how long was this temp ban for? He hasn't posted in nearly a week.

:confused:

So, I'm worried that @Unsettler has disappeared on us. Why is it that you can't get rid of the mindless time wasters but the worthwhile ones hardly ever stick around?

As is the case with a great many of your posts, as well as the lion's share of every distinctively Catholic doctrine that exists, every point can be responded to with one single sentence.... Saying it doesn't make it so! If you care to make an actual argument, I'd be glad to read it. As for...

@Unsettler, So, I was reading back through some of this thread this morning and realized that I sort of failed to make the point in the above quoted post. I made it, just not as well as I could have. I was way too rushed at the time. What is said there about those who believe that you can lose...

Yes. Paradise is not a technical term. It's an adjective. So what? You're making it more complicated than it needs to be. The paradise Jesus spoke of is/was the place of the righteous dead. It is elsewhere refered to as Abraham's bosom. The implication being that it is where Abraham was...

Not in the way you mean it. To be SUPER clear here... There is NOT a single solitary thing you can do to escape the Holy Spirit's seal nor do you have the power to pluck anyone, including yourself, from God's hand. You didn't earn your salvation and you cannot give it back this side of staring...

Yes! That is, he will be delivered safely to the Day of Redemption. What happens after that point is an open question. It depends on the individual. What we know for certain is that no one will enter Heaven against their own will. By the way, I knew what the term meant, I just couldn't bring...

[Moderator edit: profanity removed; please read the rules.]?

The debate about whether one can lose their salvation is centuries old. If you were undecided about the issue and wanted to educate yourself on it in an attempt to figure out who is right and who is wrong, what you'd likely do, as a first step, is go to get a book or two or three on the subject...

Umm... what? 😵‍💫

Paradise can refer to several things. Eden was paradise and the New Earth will also be paradise. Abraham's bosom is paradise as is God's Heaven. The fact that these various places are referred to as, or can be rightly describes as a paradise, is not even evidence, never mind proof, that they're...
