I never saw where in any of those posts you mention or in any of your other posts, what your thoughts were on the Apostles as the authorized arbiters of what we should believe as believers in Christ and in God and as honest and unbiased Bible students. Did I miss it? Maybe I did not...

With universal background checks, violent criminals will just up and stop committing violent crime. That's how it works!

Right. So I hope you're seeing, because it's very plain by now, that there are passages of Scripture that are consistent with Jesus being Yahweh. And there are passages that are not inconsistent with Jesus not being Yahweh. And so what we have here is a Mexican standoff. You believe Jesus...

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. 19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily...

Initial question, basically, is there a crime problem? Her answer, basically, well there's a gun problem. Huh? So that's a no on the crime question? smh

Yes, it can, with extremely unlikely events happening, all by chance, and all happening one after another after another after another, each one extremely unlikely, and the whole chain of them strung together being the most preposterous improbability that could be imagined. There's nonfiction...

This is a real conversation, it is just one where you don't feel that it's going well for you because I won't just grant what you're saying. So you need to adjust, if you want the conversation to be constructive instead of just you insisting that I just accept what you're putting forth. That's...

I never invoked "scientific worldview", just atheism, which is the opposition to the God theory. Nobody did that. I just didn't suppose that God is not real, which is what you're suggesting here is the right way to argue. With clown-like slapstick improbabilities, of course---who couldn't do...

It's not axiomatic, but it's also not just granting the alternative either, it's definitional or semantic or grammatical. If God is real, which is one of the two options, then naturally all things are grounded in God. Your post is an argument that God is real, so why are you granting the...

American democracy is robust and healthy. It's in its prime. I just read how a judge---these are basically kings in the judicial branch---was caught committing some common crimes, and now, this person isn't a judge anymore. This wasn't a national headline story, but it says a lot more about...

You can't ground God in anything, all things are grounded in Him. Philosophy's thousands of years old, as old as God's first appearance in history anyway, seems that language and philosophy and God all appeared around the same time. We might call that the time of creation. It's unlikely that...

Turns out, He also established a Church. Find it. Find her. And go to Mass.

All history appears to say so. If it wasn't for your Dispensationalism, you wouldn't have any reason to doubt the universal witness of history as to the ministries of all the Apostles. By the time they died, they had all gone "into the world," and had not as you put it "largely stayed in...

That doesn't appear to be even close to true. https://www.theonenessofgod.org/hrf_faq/how-did-the-twelve-apostles-die/ https://www.christianity.com/church/church-history/timeline/1-300/whatever-happened-to-the-twelve-apostles-11629558.html...

lol yeah nice try.

Compared to the presumption that God is the Trinity, Nontrinitarianism is oversimplified. I was replying to Lon, who also accepts that the Trinity is God. But you can make up something called an 'infinite spirit', and say whatever you want to about it, because that's what you did... See?

It doesn't matter. It is the institution of the office of a bishop (cf. 1st Timothy 3:1) that identifies the One Church of the Bible. That institution was established by the Apostles, who all acted with the authority of Christ. They instructed the first generation bishops like Timothy and...

Why don't you tell me? Wanking is as perverse as buggery, where does the right to wank come from? Understand that we have the legal right to masturbate, whether or not we have the human right to do so, because no law authorizes the government to punish anybody for masturbating.

I'm getting the distinct impression that there's only one of us who's "embracing" something he oughtn't. And it is not me.
