Says the hypocrite who showed up here to tell us all that he, all by himself, figured out what the corrupted bible actually is trying to teach, all while blanking out the fact that if whole sections of the bible are just allegory that is there to teach us this secret wisdom that he's been able...

That was one very interesting post! Well done.

You're an idiot. Did you really miss the point that completely?

Is Matthew 7:6 literal or allegorical?

It's laughable, and equally tragic, the extent to which idiotic fools show up on this website to show off their intellect and then self-destruct into literal insanity and abject stupidity after less than a single day of being confronted with someone who can actually think clearly. I mean, we...

Restating your premise does nothing to establish that premise! Why couldn't it be perfect just because it can smashed? What if it isn't smashed? Being indestructible is not part of what it means for something to be a sphere, SoT, and so, no, it would not be no more perfect of a sphere than any...

No one is hiding. Semantics is an important consideration in any discourse. Terms must be well defined or else confusion is the inevitable result. Premise 1 is accurate to the point of being undeniable within a Christian context. Contradiction. If all of God's creations are perfect, BY...

I agree with Right Divider. By what definition of "perfect" does your line of reasoning logically follow? Just what is it about how God made the Earth that you think could have been done better?

So the disagreement(s) here have to do with what it means to "think". I am so far away from being an expert on AI that's it's sort of funny for me to even be saying this much, but it seems clear that LLMs are, at the very least, emulating the function of a brain. Is that thinking? If not...

Awesome! I can't say that I'm familiar with those last three. Maybe it's just been a while and I don't recall them off the top of my head. I'll have to check them out. Come Thou Fount is one of my very favorite hymns! It is one you could read a bunch of Calvinist doctrine into - or not. I love...

I initially read it as replacing the two words "all may" with the single word "we", which makes no sense. Sorry.

Which is why I following it up with an entire post that you just spent at least an hour (probably more) responding too. That sentence does not make sense. That sentence, also, does not make sense. A claim which you never substantiate throughout the rest of your post. In other words...

Wow! How flagrant is that! It's not even the right number of syllables which tears up the meter of the rhyme. Goofy Calvinists!

What are you even talking about?! That Catechism has to be one of the most irrational documents that has ever been written for men to read. I mean, it has stiff competition for the top position in that category to be sure (the Koran and Bhagavad Gita come to mind), but it's right up there with...

At Calvary Author: William R. Newell (1895) 1 Years I spent in vanity and pride, Caring not my Lord was crucified, Knowing not it was for me He died on Calvary. Refrain: Mercy there was great and grace was free, Pardon there was multiplied to me, There my burdened soul found liberty– At...

The point you make about this being a case of "same word, different dictionary" is a good one. I'd say that the same extends even to the "office" of Bishop, the RCC version of which does not exist in scripture. This is true also of the "offices" of priest and deacon, both of which bear no...

Is this what you really believe? (That's a real question.)

I just wanted to say here that I'm content with living with the uncertainty in the passages in question. The firmament that God called "Heaven" is clearly talking about that which we are looking at when we look up at the sky. What it means by the firmament dividing waters from waters is rather...

You say, "No" and then make the exact argument that you just denied that you were making. Talking about confusing. You're saying "it's confusing to the reader" and therefore that isn't the way to understand it because God is not the author of confusion. Are you not? Well, just because you're...

Yeah, so what? They aren't rigid. That's just the entire point. So are we! That is, we were designed by a person (He wasn't a human at the time, of course) and we execute per that design. Even our fallen condition, being as a result of sin, has something to do with how we are made. Angels, are...
