If it was made perfect, yes. Perfection is not based on beauty, though things that are perfect are almost if not always beautiful. Indeed, paper is a poor substance with which to make a vase from, but putting water in it doesn't change the fact that it was a perfect vase for what it was, a...

He's accusing God of kidnapping Adam (and Eve, whom as far as I can tell, hadn't been created yet) and locking them in the garden as a form of prison. The paragraph immediately following the text you quoted:

The former.

This is why you don't venerate a human being above her actual status, regardless of her role in history.

No one said you were a Calvinist. What I said is that everything you're arguing against is Calvinism/Arminianism, or what we collectively call the "settled view." Clete, RD, and I are all Open Theists. We believe the future is open, and that God is free, and that He created free moral agents...

It appears Clete beat me to the punch, and he says a lot of things that I say in my post. Feel free to skip them in your reply to me and address them them in your reply to him. The original creation God made was indeed perfect. God's will was not imperfect. It was and is perfect. So God...

False. No, Plato got that wrong. If I swing a baseball bat at a perfect glass vase, do you not expect it to shatter? Because you say so?

No, a computer program doesn't know it exists. It can never "contemplate it's own existence," because to do so requires a thinking mind. Something which a computer program will never have. Don't confuse figurative language with reality. When a program is processing information, say, on a...

Yes. Yes. No. You're still missing it. The bread becomes a PART of Christ, AFTER INGESTING IT, because it is becoming a part of US, who are MEMBERS OF THE BODY OF CHRIST. Until that point, it's just bread. It's just wine. We are not the Body of Christ because we eat bread and drink wine...

Maybe you should stop rushing, then. The latter is the case in Genesis 3:20. Moses is relating something that happened long before his day, namely that, "Adam called his wife's name Eve," why? "Because she was" [past tense] (using past tense is completely normal when referring to someone who...

No. You missed it. You heard what you wanted to hear, not what was being said. Listen to it again. What was said is that the bread itself is not Christ, as the RCC claims. The point of that part of the video is that the bread is not Christ. It's only once it has been partaken of that it...

Not sure how you got confused on the matter, but we're talking about Genesis 3:20. Genesis 3:20 is NOT a quotation of anything Adam said, verbatim. It is simply narrative, describing what happened, and why.

I was going to respond to this, but RD hit the nail on the head here: The code is what is rigid. The process of which code it uses is not, by design. Meaning, it's not outputting something because it's "intelligent." It's outputting something because it was programmed to do so, in the...

@Idolater See 2:14:35 in the following video.

The other half of this, Derf, is that He uses the term for the loftiest of heights... for His new dwelling place on the planet He is in the midst of creating.
