    Is Jesus the Son of God....truly or metaphorically?

    Are you proposing the view that God the Father and Jesus the Son are one and the same person? Do you believe in the Trinity? One God but three persons in the Godhead: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This is one illustration of this relationship: (courtesy neverendingtruth.net)

    A Study on the Book of James

    Richard, So, you are not prepared to listen to how your tactics on this forum get in the way of reasonable conversation?

    Stan, Flaming language like this is unnecessary for wholesome conversation.

    Politically correct push in Alberta, Canada, education

    Stan, You wrote, Do you see how you distort what I wrote? I wrote, 'You did not address any of the absolutes I gave from the Sermon on the Mount. None!'. For you to say that 'I'm not required to address every point you make' is to create a straw man fallacy. I did not ask you to address every...

    Politically correct push in Alberta, Canada, education

    Stan, You have not dealt with the specifics of the issues I raised. Your conclusions, are not based on what I wrote. I'll not engage you further on this topic because of your distortion of what I wrote. Oz

    Politically correct push in Alberta, Canada, education

    Stan, You did not address any of the absolutes I gave from the Sermon on the Mount. None! That's a red herring of a reply. However, I will concede that you were trying to give your twist to the message of the Sermon on the Mount to make it apply only to the 'lost sheep of Israel'. If that is...

    A Study on the Book of James

    Richard, This is another example of your not understanding the tactic you use with logical fallacies. It has nothing, zero to do with correcting your writing to conform to my ideas. Zilch! It has to do with your reasoning when you write - a tactic you have used with me. What is a logical...

    Is Jesus the Son of God....truly or metaphorically?

    The Barrd, Guilt by association (to justify those who have abused power) is not a way to deal with false teaching. For many reasons, I am not a member of and will not be associated with the RCC, including teachings on: The perpetual virginity of Mary, What happens in the Communion Service...

    What is this thing called "sin"?

    Stan, When you bring in how we participated on those forums and how we participate here you have engaged in guilt by association logical fallacy. That's a fact. Please examine the nature of the guilt by association fallacy (in that link) to note what you do. You seem to be promoting the view...

    Is Jesus the Son of God....truly or metaphorically?

    The Barrd, Like it or not, you are associated with the Catholic Church if you are a member of the church universal, which you are if you are a genuine Christian and a member of the body of Christ. Oz

    A Study on the Book of James

    Richard, Please learn how you abort logical discussion by your use of a red herring logical fallacy. If you read that link, it will assist you to know what you do to engage in fallacious reasoning that avoids the topic I raised. Oz

    Is Jesus the Son of God....truly or metaphorically?

    Stan, I don't believe a teacher in the body of Christ blows his own horn. A teaching gift makes room for itself. It doesn't need to be trumpeted. Oz

    Is Jesus the Son of God....truly or metaphorically?

    Stan, Continuing the use of the 'nappies' language and extending that to 'kindergarten class' and 'your infantile group' are ways of flaming on CyB. I urge you and The Barrd to move away from using this pejorative language towards each other. It does not help in developing adult conversation...

    Is Jesus the Son of God....truly or metaphorically?

    The Barrd, I do not find this 'nappies' language helpful in adult conversation about the faith. Oz

    Is Jesus the Son of God....truly or metaphorically?

    The Barrd, I urge you not to be afraid of the word 'catholic' in catholic church because catholic means universal. I am a member of the catholic church, the universal church of Jesus Christ. You seem to be afraid of identifying with the Roman Catholic Church. Catholic Church does not equal...

    What is this thing called "sin"?

    Stan, You have used a guilt by association logical fallacy. We can't have a logical discussion when you resort to this tactic. Oz

    What is this thing called "sin"?

    Angelia, Concerning this thing called sin, there are two aspects: 1. All unbelievers need to be cleaned from the guilt of sin. Only faith in Jesus alone will cause this to happen. 2. Since all believers still have a sinful nature that has not been eradicated, for the rest of their days they...

    Politically correct push in Alberta, Canada, education

    Christ never legislated morality? Do you really mean that? Please read the NT more closely. Legislating morality is not restricted to government decisions. Of course, Jesus legislated morality with his absolutes: "Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that...

    Politically correct push in Alberta, Canada, education

    Stan, Nowhere in the text of Matt 5:12-16 (ESV) does it say that salt and light have to deal with an alternative society. It does talk about salt that has lost taste and saltiness being useless. Believers who are 'the light of the world' should let their light shine, but that does not state...

    Biblical sickness in our churches?

    Thanks, Stan, Yes it is fine now. My son is an IT professional and my PHP is on his server that operates out of his premises about an hour north of where I live. Oz
