    Logical and Dialectical Reasoning in Scripture

    The topic was logic and you have engaged in fallacious reasoning with this Appeal to Ridicule logical fallacy.

    Logical and Dialectical Reasoning in Scripture

    Wafer, I would not have made sense of those sentences without the use of logic. You stated: 'everybody has their (sic) own list of rules, and there is no way to be sure that everybody's rules are the same as anybody else's rules'. Do you realise the need to use logic of grammar and syntax to...

    Is God evil?

    tzcho2, You are correct. I have addressed the exegesis of Isa 45:7 and the exposition of it in the article, Isaiah 45:7: Who or what is the origin of evil? Oz

    Is God evil?

    Taken, 'Scripture is clear' - in your view - about all these things. But you quoted not one verse of Scripture to support your claim. So, your statements are personal opinions until you provide the exegesis from Scripture. Oz

    Is God evil?

    Taken, I suggest you do a closer study of the Hebrew, 'ra' (evil) in Isa 45:7. The KJV has misled us with 'evil' as the translation. Cf ESV, NKJV, NIV, NRSV NASB for a more accurate transl. Oz

    Is belief in the Trinity necessary for salvation?

    CI, The true God revealed in Scripture is Trinitarian. Any other view repesents another god. 'In the beginning God (plural) created the heavens & the earth' (Gen 1:1). Oz

    Atheist objections to evidence for God's existence

    False! I most certainly have studied epistemology. So, what's the beef?

    Atheist objections to evidence for God's existence

    I've already shown you that but you're not listening. It is evident from your posts, YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW that the Bible consists of reliable historical documents.

    Atheist objections to evidence for God's existence

    Sorry, mate, What is contradictory cannot be honest. Honesty demands consistency with the evidence. You don't want any of that. You will NEVER be convinced by the evidence God provides for you to demonstrate His existence because you move the goal posts. The existing evidence is not good...

    Atheist objections to evidence for God's existence

    Vince, I asked: "So, what is 'good evidence' that you require to demonstrate God exists?" This is your reply: However, it was you who stated in #225: So you DON'T KNOW what is 'good evidence' for God's existence BUT 'if it WAS GOOD EVIDENCE' you 'WOULD ACCEPT IT'. This is...

    Atheist objections to evidence for God's existence

    Taken, I asked: "what is God's understanding of 1 Timothy 2:15 (ESV): 'Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control'? We cannot have a rational conversation when you carry on like this.

    Atheist objections to evidence for God's existence

    Taken, Since that is your view, what is God's understanding of 1 Timothy 2:15 (ESV): 'Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control'? Oz

    Atheist objections to evidence for God's existence

    Taken, Are you stating that for the unbelievers, the Scriptures don't teach they should seek for an explanation & understanding of God's existence? I'd appreciate your clarification on this matter. Oz

    Atheist objections to evidence for God's existence

    Nancy, God does want all to come to repentance, but stubborn, sinful wills get in the way and resist God's drawing and promptings. Oz

    Atheist objections to evidence for God's existence

    In your second paragraph you argue from silence, which is a fallacy. You have not provided evidence from 'most people' on this forum about their understanding of the existence of God. As for your first paragraph: 1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his...

    Resurrection: What kind was it?

    Especially around Christmas and Easter, I hope to get a biblical article published in a secular Australian source. It generally happens. Today, On Line Opinion (23 April 2019), a secular e-journal, published my article on Jesus' resurrection, 'Any old resurrection will not do'. I expect much...

    Atheist objections to evidence for God's existence

    Vince, It won't stop me from praying for God to soften your heart, but the more we interact, the more I'm convinced Hebrews 6:4-6 applies to you and there is no way back to the God you once knew. Oz
