It sounds more like you put your trust in disarmament.

Expression of His creativity? Certainly His capacity for creation wasn't new, but the execution was.

I told you. It's not necessary for the wording, and it doesn't naturally come from the wording. The text only gives "both" when your theological construct makes it do so, to use your words. "Before Abraham was" places the context in time. "I Am" describes the who. Was the "I Am" existing before...

I'm not trying to fit that definition, any more than John was, nor the KJV translators, nor the ones in between. You're the one that is trying to cram that definition into the word, in order to try to make your point. John wanted to advance a concept that was difficult to verbalize with any...

Yes, I know. But it doesn't mean that.

I'm having to review where we were on this. You're saying that Jesus is equating Himself with God, and because God is timeless, Jesus is claiming to be timeless. (the other option is that Jesus is NOT equating Himself with God, and is not claiming to be timeless.) If God is "timeless", then...

You seem to think I am trying to mischaracterize. What I'm saying is that you haven't made your case, and that your points do more harm to your case than they help it. To repeat them without further elaboration in the face of disagreement is a further admission on your part that you have nothing...

I'm sympathetic to your position, but the extreme is to decriminalize suicide attempts, and euthanasia will follow. Once we devalue human life, as we've seen with abortion, other life is deemed unworthy, too. And some drug intake harms fetuses

Im pretty sure I’m just getting over it. Loss of smell on Christmas Eve was my first symptom I noticed, though had some tiredness beforehand—thought from doing some exercise I wasn’t used to, so I’m not sure of the relationship. Smell returned today, 27 Dec. had maybe an hour of fever on 25...

Well, 100% of them KNOW human life begins at conception, but only 95% are willing to admit it.

Congrats, @oatmeal, that means you won an argument against Trump Gurl.

I suppose you realize that such diversity of faith drove the founding of our nation--on principles different than any nation founded by RCC proponents?? Where unquestioning allegiance has led to many, many atrocities against true believers?

But you agree that all believers benefit from reading the scriptures personally, right?

We'll return to this statement a number of times, no doubt, but Rev 6:9 speaks of souls that rest. Some translations say “wait”, but that doesn’t fit your description that there is no time for those in heaven. I’m fine with friendly disagreements, but to start out that way seems odd for a...

You mean the ones that actually review the scientific knowledge about pathogens gained over the last several hundred years? Then, yes.

Of course you would think that, since you posted the article. The problem is the article mostly assumed the saints are "alive" in some spiritual form without any proof. Then it tried to prove the other things about them receiving prayers could happen, but mostly it was an appeal to new...

Are you talking to me? Please include a quote from a post of mine or tag me with the "@" before my user name. I read your article. It's not persuasive.

Against British rule, perhaps. Not against the British people, whom most counted themselves among. But absolute despotism doesn't actually allow anyone to escape its clutches, so you don't wait until despotism becomes absolute. Which part of US democracy do you think Trump has attempted to...

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their...
