    Friend, you are lost in the weeds. The point does not pivot on the object of the angels desire - flesh being different or forbidden, which wrongly implies a type of allowed flesh for angels. The point pivots on their sexual immorality - regardless of the target group. Consider a sentence, ‘the...

    Both could be true. I can have all kinds of leaven AND you can be making all kinds of mystical connections - in the Bible, in life, etc. Could and can are mere possibilities. FWIW, I might see those same connections but attach a non-mystical explanation, independent of having a double dose of...

    His problem is relying on the worst translation available in English. From ESV, which claims to be the most literal: just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of...

    Well, the problem with mystical dualism is there is never an exclusive answer. His own references undermine the notion of finality connected to death. There is an Old Navy commercial where the woman says 'sorry, not sorry.' Mystical dualism is like that. Dead but not dead. Dead from a certain...

    Putting aside retreating to foreign languages, I've already learned that mysticism is foolishness. Therefore, I reject all such appeals. Search instead for rational explanations.

    CEV Ephesians 2:1-2: In the past you were dead because you sinned and fought against God. Colossians 2:13: You were dead, because you were sinful and were not God's people. But God let Christ make you[a] alive, when he forgave all our sins. OK. Having the time to find a 21st century American...

    I don't speak Greek. I am Groot. Accepting bad ideas is always fruitless.

    I cannot understand the Middle English you referenced. However, maintaining an invalid concept is a fruitless endeavor.

    Critical thinking and education is linked to loss of faith

    Indeed. God has attributes that limit him. He is powerful but also knowledgeable. He is merciful but also just. He has wrath but also grace. Your argument is not evidence of absolute truth either. It is just a silly argument. The way God set us up is to trust him and others. You are an...

    Strawman on top of Strawman. I never said I know everything. All's I did was make numerous Scriptural references to debunk your claim. Again, you don't have eyes to see. Make a blessed day!

    Critical thinking and education is linked to loss of faith

    I quoted it numerous times. Using deconstructionism, you deny it because the precise combination of words you are inventing to discredit the idea is a superficial ploy. This is even more obvious than the stretch that abortion is a constitutional right as that word is absent from the document.

    Yes, I disagree with the distinction. Ayn Rand wrote about the notion of destruction of concepts. One example is to use adjectives to undermine the meaning of the noun. Another example is 'innocent victim.' We hear it so often people are wrongly equating the 2. Logic dictates that if there is...

    I know we talked about this before. What you’re saying is inventive but does not hold up to scrutiny. Of course death means only "the body stops working". Separation from God is an independent function. It only matters as it pertains to being resurrected in a glorified body or not. Your...

    Coward. Battles are being fought to the death. Your indifference is noted. An unexamined life. So sad. Just bouncing from one wave to another in the sea of emotion and whim. Going nowhere. No yearning for anything. What a waste. Waste is disposed of.

    I already addressed this Strawman deconstruction point multiple times. What does that tell you?

    You need to wake up, get eyes to see and ears to hear. Sacrifice is a requirement throughout Scripture and I showed it to you. Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

    Critical thinking and education is linked to loss of faith

    I've said it before. The basic problem is that you have an argument but I have experience. My faith is not based on an argument that I found compelling; it is based on lived experience.

    You are lost! Everything that exists is limited, i.e., has an end. Everything!

    It depends. "Different" is often bad, despite propaganda lie that it is strength.

    The test comes AFTER you mature and take a stand. What battle? Do you find nothing but peace everywhere you look in the world today? No. It's what you get but what you give. The Bible says YOU must seek, ask and knock. You have the burden.
