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...

*sigh* Your OP is about what words mean. Then you admit that today's meanings of "word" and "logic" don't carry the kind of meaning that fits with what your OP requires for your position to be valid. I'm not able to argue the point better than that, and I've shown you where you wrote it. I'll...

These are two statements you made. They perfectly make the case against your argument that "logic" is a better term than "the word" for Jesus Christ, in answer to: You've already spelled it out for yourself. I'm not trying to avoid the conversation, but if you've already made the argument...

I don’t think Abraham was foretold. But I don’t see why anything I wrote would suggest it either. Jesus wasn’t just commenting on a foretelling when He said He was before Abraham.

If our wording in today's translations carries the connotation, and "logic" doesn't, then you've just proven my point for me. Thanks!

I didn't think I needed to, since you did it so well yourself. Go look back at your post.

You’re allowing reason to usurp God’s rule over all.

I’m not convinced “word” is more meaninglessness than”logic”. “Word” allows for more options than”logic”, for one thing. Just because you haven’t chosen the correct abstraction related to “word” doesn’t prevent their being one that works. “Logic” is pretty limited in its possible abstractions...

That's difficult. We know that God is alive ("the living God"). He thinks and acts willfully. Humans, animals, and angels and demons all seem to do the same. Death is a little easier--it's not the opposite of life but the cessation of life. A rock is not dead, because it has never been alive. A...
