Then why did you jump into the middle of a conversation ABOUT how modern governments should treat criminals today with a comment on how God did not punish David according to the law? Perhaps you can answer my question: Tambora, to make things clear here, please answer the following question...

I'm reminded of Paul in Acts 17: Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. Then Paul, as his custom was, went in to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures, explaining and...

I recently watched another Open Theist, Realityisnotoptional (Chris Fischer) do a partial response to the above video, here: I enjoyed his breakdown, but felt there was a lot left on the table that needed to be addressed, and since I'm not much of a talker, but I can type up a mean post on a...

Forget me for a moment. If there was a compelling argument that was made by ANYONE that your position is wrong, would you be willing to change your position? This is asking you if you're willing to be intellectually honest enough to admit when you're wrong. Maybe you should consider why I'm...

No, that was Hoping. He's gone now.

It's your job to present a compelling argument, whether someone changes their mind or not. Why are you even here on TOL, again? The Holy Spirit won't override someone's will. Weren't you just going on about how Calvinism is unjust? I'm not going to abandon my position unless and until you...

I don't care. ALL I care about is the truth, and what the Bible says. If you cannot make a valid argument against my position, you will not change my beliefs. Yawn.

Then you should already be aware that the common belief is that there are seven dispensations, and that there are different "house rules" (oikonomia) for each dispensation. The rules for the dispensation of conscience was that there was no law on the earth, that men did according to their own...

If I were making an argument from silence, my argument would be "because there is no scripture saying there was a law in the period between the fall and the leaving of the Ark, therefore there was no law." But that's not the argument I'm making. I'm saying, "because God prohibited the death...

I was referring to your comment regarding how we should treat criminals today. Please do try to follow the conversation. Tambora, to make things clear here, please answer the following question: Do you believe that we (that is, modern human governments; I'm not talking about the Body of...

No, I'm not arguing from silence. Did you miss where I quoted Genesis 4? How God forbade the killing of Cain in punishment for his killing of his brother Abel? How Lamech said that He repaid the man who injured him "seventy-sevenfold" by killing him in retaliation? Here it is again: Now Cain...

What?

Why?

Where? Be specific. God withholding judgement, and not enforcing His righteous standard, and then later doing so, is injustice?

Urinalism at its finest.

God killed them because they were so evil. It's called God's righteous character. Morality is absolute, whether it's enforced or not. The point was that there was no law on the earth. Again, the point was that no law was in effect during the period mentioned. Men did what they wanted, and...

Because you asked me why I said something that I didn't say. What I ACTUALLY SAID was: Please learn to respond to what people actually said, and not what you think they said, or what you wanted them to say. Yes I did. Yes. There was no law that governed society between Adam and Eve...

Are you able to read? Because that's clearly not what I said. First of all, your verse numbering is wrong. Second... Keep reading. Now Cain talked with Abel his brother; and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him. Then the...

Please support your claim with evidence. You clearly didn't bother to read the Got Questions link.
