You're not the only one, though it's very rare these days! Some clarification is in order, then. I am aware that you are not proposing a standing body of men whose continuous occupation is watching the king and waiting for an opportunity to remove him. By a “permanent institution,” I mean...

Never heard of it. Doesn't matter. Guilt by association is a fallacy. Even demons believe there is one God. That does not make monotheism demonic. Make an actual argument from Scripture.

Reference Post: W2G’s Arguments and Where They Have Been Answered W2G, you have repeatedly returned to arguments that have already been answered, frequently without addressing the answers. To prevent the discussion from becoming an endless cycle of repetition, I am consolidating your arguments...

You missed what the last verse said, Idolater. And this I say for your own profit, not that I may put a leash on you, but for what is proper, and that you may serve the Lord without distraction. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1Corinthians7:35&version=NKJV The law is a heavy...

:think: :doh:

Or you've simply entrenched your worldview in "whatever the mainstream media says" (ie corporatized media). Try taking what is said at face value rather than just dismissing it out of hand simply because "it comes from X."

This verse literally proves my position. This verse literally supports my position. God asks, “Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do?” He is deliberating about His own future choice. He is deciding whether He should tell Abraham what He is about to do. He considers Abraham’s calling...

This is what happens when we raise a generation on thinking that it's okay to kill the baby in the womb.

Fair enough. Given this clarification, I overstated your position when I formulated premise I(2) as the claim that every integral feature of Israel’s governmental order is universally necessary. However, I inferred that position from your repeated identification of Israel’s kingdom with “the...

By knowing the matter exists without choosing to search out every detail of it. You do not have to know the contents of a sealed letter in order to decide not to open it. Likewise, God can know there is a matter to investigate without already knowing the result of the investigation. That is...

This will also be very long, but only because it's a proper formal argument: The first questions to ask are whether the conclusions follow from the premises, whether the premises are true, and whether the evidence given supports them.

This is long, but only because most of it is me attempting to advance my position instead of rehashing what we've already covered. Calling an argument “semantic” is no rebuttal when the dispute concerns the meanings of the relevant terms and whether you are using them equivocally. Meaning is...

Pickleball is played with paddles, silly, not rackets!

Guess I didn't condense it enough, then. Your paragraph is an accurate summary of my position, with one clarification: I am not saying kings cannot be rebuked, resisted, or held morally accountable by men. I am saying Scripture does not present subordinate domestic officers as having ordinary...

Yeah, they do, actually. They go to the NJ Department of corrections page. Which you have to view and accept their terms and conditions to proceed. And then you can do a search, like I did, for those men, which are the links I provided, using the information presented in the screenshot, or...

False dichotomy. God is not “limited like a human” simply because He does not know non-existent future free choices as settled facts before they are made. God knows all that is real. God knows all that is knowable that He wants to know. God can discover anything He needs to know. The issue is...

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I tried to reduce my response as much as possible, but it still ended up long. But in my defense, in the words of Treebeard: "You must understand, young hobbit, it takes a long time to say anything in Old Entish, and Ents never say anything unless it...

The very purpose of "democracy" is that everyone gets a say. No matter how stupid. They've already done that.

Strictly speaking, Open Theists are the ones who actually believe God can foreknow, because “fore” is a temporal word. Your view is not really foreknowledge from God’s perspective. It is timeless knowledge. Open Theism says God can know future events when those future events are knowable...
