Not true. The Fourteenth Amendment says that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.” So Kamala and Obama both qualify.

Don't be silly. Is it in my mind alone that the Synoptics call the Last Supper a Passover meal, and that John says it occurred the day before? Or is it in the Bible? Tell me, please.

And what about before then? What was he then?

It establishes DNA links to ancestral genetics.

Where did you get your law degree? Courts accept evidence that (a) has some tendency in logic to make the matter in issue more or less probable, and (b) is subject to cross examination or, if hearsay, has some other basis for trustworthiness. Precedent has nothing to do with it. Courts accept...

I think Tertullian -- more than century before Nicaea -- may have been the first to use "Trinity." Philip Schaff: ANF03. Latin Christianity: Its Founder, Tertullian - Christian Classics Ethereal Library There are lots of references to the Church Fathers' "binitarian" view, i.e., on...

As one Trinitarian to another, @Marymog, I hope you will allow a slight correction. The Nicene Creed as originally formulated did not mention anything about the Holy Spirit being "the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son." That was a later addition. Because it...

Deliberate hiding of the truth is not accomplished by Biblical contradictions -- which make one or the other an UNtruth. If you are one of "God's chosen people" who is "given the gift of discernment," kindly "discern" for me how a Biblical contradiction does anything less than make one or the...

God placed apparent contradictions in the Bible to confuse unbelievers, instead of eliminating contradictions to foster believers? Is that what you think? Man, I need some of whatever you're smoking!

I asked you about Paul's letter to Timothy, not his letter to Thessalonika (which we have already beaten to death). And I didn't ask Second Peter's opinion. The question is, what did Paul have in mind when using the word graphē in 2 Tim. 3:16. Clearly, the OT. Not his own writings. Not...

I see it differently. I think you are correct that without the fall of mankind the entire faith falls apart and Jesus's sacrifice would have been pointless. But understanding precisely HOW the fall of mankind occurred -- as opposed to agreeing THAT it occurred -- is unnecessary.

We all do.

I was wondering when "copyist error" would be raised as the explanation. Didn't take long . . .

You see what you are doing? You are making excuses by indulging improbable explanations when the simplest one is staring you in the face: Mark got this one wrong! Or, if Mark accurately reported Jesus's words (he wasn't present, by the way), then Jesus got this one wrong. Take your pick.

Why go to such extents to shore up a presumption of inerrancy? You are reasoning the matter backwards. Inerrancy should be a conclusion from the evidence, not a postulate by which to assess the evidence. Matthew 27:9 mistakenly attributes the story of the purchase of the potters’ field to...

If GOD told me today that you and your buddy were on a deep sea fishing trip 20 years ago where you caught a 14 foot long Marlin, and then GOD told me tomorrow that it was 12 feet long, then GOD was mistaken one of those times! That's what it would mean. In my estimation, if the One GOD rather...

Really? Can you show me where the RCC has made some official pronouncement that Peter wasn't married?

Yes. I picked 100 to roundly average in the advanced age of many OT sires when procreating. But Bantus and Mongolians were around at the time of Christ. That would be 100 generations even if we gave them 25 years apiece.

Where to start . . . how about with the gospels? Matthew 23:35 confuses two Zechariahs, the prophet Zechariah who was the son of Berechiah (Zech. 1:1) and another who was the son of Jehoiada (2 Chron. 24:20-22). Mark 2:26 quotes Jesus as saying that David entered the house of God and ate the...
