In my understanding of the English meaning of apostate, 'A person who renounces a religious or political belief or principle' (Oxford dictionaries online), a person has a Christian belief that he/she renounces. To become apostate means to abandon that faith. It is not referring to someone who...

Well said, brother.

If you read dictionary.com 'Sv highjack', you will find that 'hijack' and 'highjack' are synonymous terms. Merriam-Webster dictionary supports the same synonym. The freedictionary.com affirms the same synonyms. How about that? Who is laughing now? Oz

Thanks, Butch. I've started the thread at: 'Logical fallacies high jack discussions'. Sadly, I have committed the error of misspelling hijack as 'high jack'. It was my faulty thinking of the moment. The thread will not go anywhere unless people like you and me engage in pursuing the topic in...

You need to define what your understanding is of how human beings are made in the image of God.

This is an error of fact because 'God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth' (John 4:24 ESV).

In the thread, 'The doctrine of OSAS', a couple of us have been discussing the serious repercussions of Christians using logical fallacies in discussions on CyB. We have noticed some Christians violating the laws of logic in that particular thread. What is a logical fallacy? 20WL Online Writing...

I agree that God created the laws of logic and gave a logical demonstration of them by making his laws and teaching available in printed form - using the laws of logic. However, the use of logical fallacies in the pulpit, on Christian forums, and in Christian discussion is a serious issue...

Who said so?

Many of us can be guilty of using logical fallacies. I have found this helpful list of them with excellent descriptions of each one (along with examples) in The Nizkor Project: Fallacies. I've mentioned it a few times in my responses that when we use logical fallacies, we are using illogic or...

Red herring fallacies remain the same - false reasoning - and they destroy reasonable conversation.

However, could rewards be related to the Holy Spirit's fruit in our lives? Since faith without works is dead - is not fair dinkum faith at all - then it is necessary in the Christian life to pursue works to demonstrate our real faith. The ESV translates as 'faith apart from works is dead'...

You've given another red herring logical fallacy. What is a red herring logical fallacy?

I hope that others will come to the same conclusion. There is an Ignore button.

That's not the topic of this thread.

Again, you don't answer what I wrote. I stated that you were using a red herring logical fallacy and were engaged in fallacious reasoning. But, no, there is no reply to this content. You are off and running with what you want to talk about. If you were here in person, I would walk away from our...

Thanks, mate!

H. Richard, I note that you are new here. Has it occurred to you that when you copy and paste from Scripture or your own documents on other sites that it inhibits communication? I find I do not read your posts when you do this. I encourage you to quit the copy and paste and engage with us in...

So does that mean it will be OK for one man to draw up his own agreement with, say, 3 women and the courthouse is obliged to register that contract? After all, that will not violate his polygamous conscience. Same with one woman and 3 men??? Do you think the proposed Bill will allow the Utah...

justaname, What Paul says 'behind the statement' of 'leave the faith' gets into allegorical interpretation which has devastated sound hermeneutics. Getting behind the statement is an allegorical imposition on the text, in my understanding. Our job is to engage with what the text says with...
