So what are we talking about? You say "laws of God" as if you expect everybody to know what that means. That inspires a lot of silliness. Genesis 17:10 King James Version (KJV) 10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you...

The bible was not written in English, nor in the USA. We English speakers, especially Americans, think virgin means "never had sex", but in eastern cultures 2000 years ago, the word meant "never had a baby". There were several words translated virgin and some of them only meant "young woman"...

2 Peter 3:16 King James Version (KJV) 16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. Sometimes the correct...

It explains why Christians as a rule don't know what they are talking about. They have not learned to read the bible, so they look at the pages and recite what some uninstructed preacher has told them it says. The word 'charisma' appears in the bible just 17 times and only one of those uses...

You keep saying "logic" but what you are talking about are conventions. You can analyze them according to formal rules of logic, but they might not comply. I was chatting with a young fellow when he suddenly said "You're a libertarian!" I had never heard the word before so I asked him what...

As Winston Churchill said, "That is the sort of arrogant pedantry up with which I will not put."

Words, grammar, punctuation, and spelling are clothes for your thoughts. If you clothe your thoughts like bums, don't be surprised when people assume you have bum thoughts.

Well that's nice, but you sure took a heaven of a lot of words to say that.

When you want to know the meaning of a word in the bible you look up the first usage. Deuteronomy 33:2 King James Version (KJV) 2 And he said, The Lord came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right...

You are muddling several subjects. Did anybody ever tell you that prepositions are not good words to end a sentence with? That is not a rule, it is an opinion formed by Latin students and carried over to English. The fallacy is that it is impossible in Latin. English has no such rule. English...

Ok, that works!

As I said before, logic is a list of rules to determine what is valid and what is not. Everybody makes up their own rules and it is difficult to be sure everybody is using the same rules because the list is invisible. Atheists use their invisible rules to discredit the invisible God. What a...

Sin, singular, is the absence of spirit. Adam had a spirit but it died and so he was unable to bequeath a spirit to his offspring. That is why everybody is born in sin, not because Mommy and Daddy did the big nasty. That is why a savior had to die in our place and make it possible to create a...

Just to be sure you know: Science is anything you can measure. Spirit is anything you can not measure. Spiritual matters are not proven by logic. Science is proven by logic. No connection. The reason you can't "prove" God is that if you don't believe, then by definition all proof is nonsense...

Dialectical Reasoning Dialectical reasoning is the process of arriving at truth through a process of comparing and contrasting various solutions. This process, also known as logic, originated in classical Greece by the philosopher Aristotle and has evolved into the present through the works of...

In the 19th century Americans started moving west and three institutions went with them. There was vaudeville, traveling entertainment. There was lyceum, traveling education and culture. And there was the itinerant preacher, offering a new style of preaching called "hell fire and brim stone". It...

Well, yes, one must make a noise or something to remind everybody that we are a group. It doesn't always have to be a deep thought.

That's like asking why I go on breathing. Hebrews 10:25 King James Version (KJV) 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

But God did. Hosea 4:6 King James Version (KJV) 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. BIBLICAL RESEARCH...
