Again: The word used in Luke 7:30 is boulemai. It is the very sovereign will of God you are referring to. It says, quite literally, that the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel (boulemai) of God. God's "boulemai" (sovereign will) was for them to be baptized. They refused it. They...

Yes, it does, B57! The word used in Luke 7:30 is boulemai. It is the very sovereign will of God you are referring to. It says, quite literally, that the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel (boulemai) of God. In spite of the boulemai of God being that they repent and/or be...

Anyone who wrote or compiled or had anything to do with this report should be arrested and their homes searched.

Are you asserting that the Bible is not God's word? You claim to not know anything for certain. Why should your opinion matter here? Straw man. Not what I'm arguing. I'm talking about listening to what God is saying in His word, AKA the Bible. Teach me Your way, O Lord; I will walk in...

Which shows the person is completely innocent of any wrongdoing... something that cannot be said entirely of adults. Would it make any difference if it were putting a gun to the baby's head and pulling the trigger? The point is to expose the flaw in your reasoning by showing that it's not ok...

That's the thing, you don't HAVE to pretend to know what He thinks. You can actually KNOW, because He has given us His word. Doing your own thinking does not excuse you from trying to find out what God thinks. Not just "seems to." He actually did give us a brain. But you apparently don't...

Not even close. Just look up what a genetic fallacy is.

That has nothing to do with what I said...

Genetic fallacy.

Japheth's family went north. They would have been his descendants.

You quoted verses and then interpreted them based on your beliefs. I quoted verses that EXPLAINED the verses you quoted, showing how they don't support your beliefs (because scripture does not contradict scripture). Appeal to tradition is a logical fallacy, and won't fly here on TOL. He's...

Get your head out of the sand. How about this stuff? Never happened? https://therightscoop.com/watch-colorado-parent-silenced-by-school-board-after-reading-graphic-book-available-to-school-kids/...

Too many to count. No, it would not. Far better if the law said that if a man and a woman are caught having sex outside of marriage, they would be fore Only teaches rewards and consequences. It does not teach pain. AKA reinforcement. AKA reinforcement. We have time out already. It's...

It may have been at one point. But currently, it is not.

It does say. And I told you this already. Maybe you didn't catch it. Here it is again: "It does say stone, like a mason would use." That's referring to the hebrew word used, and the Strong's concordance entry for that word, which is this: Strong's h68 - Lexical: אֶבֶן - Transliteration...

Honoring your parents is ALWAYS a good thing to do. If they tell you to do evil, obviously, disobeying them is required, but you still honor them because they are your parents. Most parents these days are the result of the public education system. Because it was expected that the parents...

If your reasoning can lead to something horrible, simply by posing a question based on it, then maybe your reasoning isn't very good to begin with. It's called moving the goalpost, but I'll allow it, because doing so allows me to further my position. I'll show you why in a moment. Which...

I clearly took this for granted! Good point! Exactly!

No, it's not obvious, and introducing children to sexual behavior before they are even halfway to puberty is child abuse. The only discussion of sex that a parents should teach their children, when they reach the age of puberty, is that they should be abstinent from it until they marry. That...

Because He is worthy of it. This is question begging, and He has shown otherwise. He has proven that He is good. Such a thing isn't possible, but to answer the question for the sake of the argument, yes, we would, because we would be superior to it, just as God is superior to us. If the...
