:watching and waiting: Are you Matt Dillahunty? 'Cause I think you are -lol. Either you think someone out there knows why God does everything He does or you sincerely want to see people lose their faith in Him. I don't see any third way. But, then, I'm not your judge and you have to be free...

First I'm hearing of it. He probably thought the Garden Of Eden, Abraham, Joseph, etc. stories would get the point across well enough. I know that much of that's just mythology to skeptics but I think Moses was pretty serious about it. I usually try my best to explain this stuff in great...

I don't have enough strategic or egotistical skin in the game to be moving goalposts and there's nothing "dazzling" about sound hermeneutics, my friend. Principles are unchanging; policies are adaptable; and circumstances alter cases. It's not always wrong to kill someone; but it's always...

Oh, and Scripture is never contrary to Scripture. .

We were on Guam (for the 2nd time—1st for my sister) in the early '70s and they had just built the largest McDonalds in the world! We went just about every payday and my dad would go through the drive-thru (yeah!) and say "4 hamburgers, 4 french fries, and 4 cokes." (I was only aware of one...

Crickets Sometimes, I don't sit in front of my laptop or phone to monitor incoming CyB posts, believe it or not. I don't think we do that anymore. Do we guillotine people? Boy, your Elijah/"I, alone" complex is operating at critical mass today, isn't it? :jest:You're killing me here...

Did you ever think about going into politics? .

My body turns good food into healthy gray matter which is what I use to relate to God. If you know an end run around that, you could be a very rich man. .

You can pretend I hate you all you want, but not everybody gets a dopamine rush from never-ending rhetorical volleying and I'm just saying so. I say God wasn't condoning these things, but managing them. You insist in your typical, obnoxious way that He should've waved a magic wand and made evil...

Precisely :) .

Sublime irony .

Can't get any takers? What a bummer. .

And the beat (diversion) goes on, it seems. I appeal to Scripture. The angels neither marry, nor are given in marriage. The context of this statement of Christ is pretty clear—certainly much clearer about the subject than Genesis 6. If you want to risk validating the argument for the...

Obviously, in an absolute sense, no restaurant can be trusted. Eating out is unavoidable to some, but good food is turned into good neurotransmitters that help us to relate to God properly. And the best diet is the one that provides the highest nutrient-to-toxin ratio. Restaurants typically have...

You and your Roy Rogers - lol. .

Of course, it's becoming more and more popular to claim that same-sex attraction is irreversible, and that when it does appear to happen, the person was just confused and wasn't same-sex attraction "oriented" to begin with. The deception is becoming more and more sophisticated almost daily, it...

Are you sure it's "well said?" (quotes not used for the purpose of being obnoxious) I think (because I've caught myself doing it so many times) that we often resonate with comments and reasoning that aren't that sound because they support our overall views on a topic or even a subtopic under...

Probably for the same reason that, while people do walk out in front of buses and get killed, we don't stop all public transportation. Oversimplifying problems doesn't get them solved. .

But I'm not offended. I just don't play well with folks with no authority who like to dictate the responsibilities of others. Never have. Clever logic—almost. Last word(s) and marching orders. Sorry, I was honorably discharged in '87. And I'm still not a doormat. I'll likely be doing as I...

Oh, then you were referring to some other person who may or may not have the authority to stop behavior with flowery, back-handed, unfounded accusations. Fascinating By the way, on an open forum, speaking "to" someone is speaking to everyone. .
