So I've got Scripture that tells me God is the Logos, God is love, God is spirit, and God is light. Which of these are literal, wooden, and which are figurative, allegorical and or symbol?

It needn't be, not necessarily. There is one solution which was mentioned in one of JR's links, "appearance of age." https://answersresearchjournal.org/solution-light-travel-time-problem/ The author holds a doctoral degree. His quote: " Light created in transit as part of a fully functioning...

Really. The relevance is that those with homosexual proclivities are better off celibate. There you go.

I think Mr. Ferguson's nailed it:

Don't you repeat yourself here though? ;)

Why? Cos he can easily afford a lawyer (many). We can all have this. This freedom. This power. This respect. Universal legal representation means this. Right now, only people like former President Trump fully enjoy the blessings of liberty that our regime secures for us in this way. You...

Sledge-o-matic!

Based on your declaration that space isn't a thing. If for all intents and purposes all space has always existed, then that's why I'm asking what is the difference between this idea and pantheism? We know and believe that God has always existed, but if space also has always existed, then space...

He didn't have to create light; He is light.

So what do you propose. While we wait for Him? What would He have us do, do you think?

I have no idea man, but we've done this 50 times, and I'm certain that it was never 100% approval in any of those cases.

I only support voluntary annexation.

This guy was really funny. I liked a lot of his content from the 1980's. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/11/arts/television/gallagher-dead.html
