I did not (and still do not know) that you understand what anthropomorphism means because you refuse to understand how they are used to describe God's character and actions. I did not use an ad hominem fallacy. I was humouring you with sarcasm. Do you get it? You have used Genesis 1:26-27 to...

That's a straw man fallacy. If I had said, 'What a stupid, idiotic fool you are', that would be an insult on your character. That is not what I stated and I would never say that. The title of this thread is 'Logical fallacies hijack discussion'. That's what you have done when you don't know...

This is another red herring logical fallacy. Please get back to the topic of the OP. To this point I have not seen you address any of the content of the OP, so in this thread you are regularly hijacking this thread by your irrelevant comments, i.e. irrelevant to the topic. That's what makes...

What on earth does that mean? You were responding to my statement about a straw man fallacy. Why do you refuse to engage with the topic of this thread, especially in light of your continuing fulfillment of the title of the OP. You hijack the thread topic with your responses.

You miss something here. John had the OT in Hebrew available to him. When the Book of Revelation was revealed to John, John was one of the privileged apostles to be used by God to write the NT Scriptures. Such a revelation to write Scripture is not given to you and me or anyone else since the...

When you claim that Saul (of Tarsus) did not have a Bible, you don't understand that the OT was the Bible of the Pharisees. Matt 5:21-22 (ESV): '“You have heard that it was said to those of old, z‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable ato judgment.’ 22 But I say to you that...

This is another example of how you use a straw man fallacy to hijack this argument. Your view of what I did is false, hence you have erected a straw man fallacy.

Do you see what is happening here, ewq? You are hijacking the discussion with this red herring logical fallacy. I've already explained to you that what I said to you about anthropomorphisms was not the use of an ad hominem logical fallacy but was the use of sarcasm - a humouring action in...

What is an ad hominem logical fallacy? Therefore, what I said to you was not an ad hominem fallacy but was my use of humouring you in sarcasm. The Urban Dictionary gives this definition: Seems like you don't want to accept a little bit of fun in sarcasm. I sincerely apologise to you if this...

This demonstrates that you don't seem to understand the meaning and use of of an ad hominem logical fallacy. Here you are repeating this 'immature' labelling again for which you say your were punished. Why repeat it here?

That was sarcasm, not a logical fallacy!

This going back to another thread seems to indicate that you don't know the meaning of ad hominem and how you used it back in that thread. I did not launch an ad hominem attack on you as you did on me in that thread. I will not apologise for something I did not do. You rightly were punished for...

I have since provided ewq1938 with a more detailed response to demonstrate that the view of God having a physical body is a promotion of the heresy of Audianism (4th century) and of Mormonism (God is a man). God the Father is NOT a human being because God is spirit (John 4:24 ESV). Jesus became...

The Barrd, Thank you for your kindness. I did not apply that to all professors. That would be committing a hasty generalisation fallacy. I've had many excellent professors in the USA. I have BA and MA degrees from USA institutions before encountering this horrible fellow's remarks at doctoral...

You started the thread, 'God's likeness', and didn't even provide us with a definition of 'image' or 'likeness'. Your OP was: To be able to say that 'that was not fulfilled at the tree of knowledge of good and evil', you obviously have something in mind of what that 'image' is so that you could...

There is a view being promoted in this thread that God has a physical body. This is a heresy from the fourth century known as Audianism, taught by Audius (or Audaeus). You can read the nature of this heresy in 'Audianism Explained'. See an explanation of the heresy in Ecclesiastical History...

ewq, You have committed the question begging logical fallacy. You have started with your own belief, 'God the Father and God the Son have physical bodies' and then you set out to prove your presupposition by providing a list of Scriptures. That's what a question begging fallacy does. Your...

This is a red herring fallacy. Your response has nothing to do with what I asked of you: 'You need to define what your understanding is of how human beings are made in the image of God'. We are dealing with the interpretation of Scripture. What does is mean to say that human beings are made in...

Z, Welcome to the forum. I hope you have an enjoyable time interacting with us (and learning the idiosyncrasies of a new forum. Your post is very thought provoking for me. I'll take a couple of days to think through the issues but a few come immediately to mind. How are our presuppositions...

Joshua 24:15 (NIV) is a pretty emphatic statement about choice/free will and serving God or the other gods: 'But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the...
