So as long as we all go to hell, no worries, then? It seems to me that for all your humanitarian-come-humanist posturing, your basic arguments boil down to 3 bullet points: "Prove it!" "That's not fair!" "I know you are but what am I?!!" When Christ forgave the woman taken in adultery, He...

I was there. And I believe you are mistaken about manipulation. I was raised in the Southern Baptist church of the '60s and '70s and I can assure you that they fully believed Sunday was the definite, conscientious object of the 4th commandment. Some even knew no better than to assume it was...

Thanks for your interest! For what it's worth, it seems obvious enough to me that the devil is not in the protection business. He can't protect us from God or His angels if He intends to destroy us. And protecting us from his own imps is oxymoronic. So only God really protects, and I know I've...

Agree This view might be problematic since so much of the OT is quoted and referenced in the NT. At the time, the OT was quite established as Scripture. And it seems doubtful that folks would have been ready to delegate Scripture to the shelf because of its age, especially when it testified...

Yes and no to both.

They also showed what not to eat if we didn't want the emerging infectious diseases that have killed countless millions over the last several hundred years. And 50 years ago, no one was saying that the 4th commandment was classed with the ceremonial laws that prefigured Christ's life, death...

See, you don't understand the way the devil marshals this game. We get each other to repeat and expand what we've already made plain enough so that eventually someone gets mad or frustrated and overstates or misstates something, causing the other to perform the AHA!!! move. Then, everything...

I could if I hadn't already.

Well, I just couldn't help myself.

Wait, on 2nd thought, I'll play. They were wolves, if you must know, and wolf families should have parades, their own celebratory month, health insurance, and tax breaks. And if you don't agree, you're an evil hater/hypocrite—especially if you're a vegan. (I'm not vegan. I'm WFPB but I enjoy...

Oh, it could be way more than just over a billion, I'm afraid. :( But our "sect" is not in the condemning business. Folks condemn themselves with their own unbelief (John 3:18). But as long as they familiarize themselves with the Sheperd's voice (John 10:27), they'll hear the call to "worship...

Following that hermeneutical model, then (just going with what the Bible says), we must surely expect to see the following in all literality: 11) And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12) And he exerciseth all the...

So, who is @TinMan in Mark 9? :)

Sure! Because the best kind of "definition to apply to all things because of politics and prejudice" is the expansive kind.

It is very interesting to note that the term "social gender" implies making so-called "my truth" everyone else's, as well. Distorted reality is hungry, and requires constant feeding.

Games? Must we? .

Surely you don't expect me to believe that your reading comprehension is as lacking as you're exhibiting here. .
