What Is Irreducible Complexity?

A Layman's Summary of the Signature in the Cell Atheists invent a standard of proof designed to exclude all evidence that supports the existence of an Intelligent Designer. One way they do this is to assert the limitation of inquiry to be deductive reasoning only. However, most of human...

So, you don’t consider sanctification an ongoing process? Regarding Romans 6:6, not being a slave to sin does not mean we don’t retain the capability and even habit of sinning. I parse the 2 this way. Salvation is facing your maker. Sanctification is walking closer and closer to him.

I don’t think it is about power but intent. God exists outside of time. So, the idea of ‘reversing’ his charted course does not apply. St Augustine wrote about this. Jesus said there were many rooms. The similarity with Islam is the only House that has peace is where God is.

As divine beings, He made them immortal. In Islam, they divide the universe into 2 Houses: the House of War and the House of Islam. It seems our God divided the universe also into 2 Houses: His and Not His. Banishment from His House is less a place than a state of being. This is why the saying...

A few preliminaries. Putting aside religion, an aspect of logic, statistics and law is the one making the positive claim has the burden of proof. (Supposing otherwise is called in logic the argument fallacy of Appealing to Ignorance) What constitutes proof will be explained below. Likewise, the...

We should not and need not abandon the field of evidence to the lost enemies of our Lord. See Psalm 19. In that thread, I made the following points. While faith is the evidence of things unseen, there is evidence to be seen. (In this thread, I want to compile the evidence.) Are you required to...

Rebellion is not mere thought but acting against the authority. I've recently thought of this also. We tend to think that sin cannot exist in heaven but the story of 1/3 of the angels rebelling refute this. Also, unlike us here on Earth who are forced to rely on faith, the angels KNOW God...

If that were true, Satan couldn’t have rebelled in the first place, right?

Well, if you weren’t so entrenched in that archaic translation, you’d realize settling a court case is hardly a comparison to demonic attack and testing.

<sigh> No. Why is giving into the Adversary’s demands a good thing?

I don't mind being tested. Giving in to the demands of the Adversary cannot be wise for people. We are trying to live Godly lives and this verse Luke 22:31 indicates God is giving in to the demands of the Adversary. Disturbing.

1st, I made it to the top of the list! Yippie. 2nd, I would say legalism is not quite what Behold said. What he's calling legalism is merely the false doctrine Once Saved, Always Saved. MatthewG can go to the thread by that name to read page after page of analysis and debate. In short, legalism...

I'm focusing on what is different. The difference is the other verses refer to God and his children. The verse in the OP refer to Satan.

What? Psalm 19 was written 1,000 years before the Apostles.
