In logic, this is called Appeal to Ignorance. It is the fallacy that one ought to believe in something even though there is a lack of evidence, particularly evidence lacking for the opposing proposition. It's a variant of, "Even though it does not make sense <INSERT IGNORANCE, such as to a human...

Such a peculiar rationalization ... The doctor cannot possibly be competent because he gave me a diagnosis I don't like or disagree with! In my study of the Bible, I am amazed to learn how much of what Jesus said was from the OT. Even his dying words on the cross is Psalm 22. And if you study...

Agreed. Obviously, you are not acting on my suggestion to focus your thoughts on how the Bible could be right. Consider Mark 14:61-62 (AMP) High Priest: Are You the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed), the Son of the Blessed One? Jesus: I am. Why did the High Priest ask Jesus this question...

There are many verses like this that you are denying are referring to 2 Beings but are clear in context. For instance, 1 Peter 1:2 says ‘God the Father’ in obedience to Christ. And 2 Peter 1:2 refers to knowledge of God AND of Jesus, our Lord. It’s desperate to suppose God refers to anyone...

Another VERY BAD translation. CJB the Patriarchs are theirs; and from them, as far as his physical descent is concerned, came the Messiah, who is over all. Praised be Adonaifor ever! Amen. Praising God is not the same as being God. Being over all is not the same as being God. We know this...

Shameless adding of words to Scripture in violation of Scripture. See Mark 7:13.

You are invoking a verse about God and pretending it applies to Jesus. Sad. Notice how you underline the irrelevant part. What is relevant is God's use of the singular pronoun to end the verse. "There is no God besides me," he says. And you are pretending the word "Lord" in this translation...

No. You did not answer any of my 3 questions at all, let alone to my liking. HINT: A non-responsive reply is not an answer. Getting back to my 1st question; does it make sense that God has a God? Your non-responsive reply was to invoke dualism. Asserting part of Jesus is not God. (Again...

You could not even answer my 3 questions.

Yet, you fail to actually cite one verse that states what you claim. That’s your thoughtful reply? A sarcastic repose? Sad diversion from the inadequacy of your argument.

IDOLATRY.

Not one verse says this. Not one.

It’s easier if you ignore the ubiquitous and plain words of Scripture and impose a mystical meaning to vague verses. The more ambiguous, the more mystical meaning and significance can be read into it.

Welcome. Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your spiritual journey?

Facts don’t matter when you have dogma.

It’s dualism, which allows one to shake off the shackles of logic. True that Jesus being the Christ (of God) is the central message of the NT does not divert their attention from the mutually exclusive claim that he ALSO IS.

Agreed. Long OP's serve more as a form of therapy for the writer. I find it far more effective to begin a thread with a short thesis, followed by at least one question you want people in the forum to respond to. I did this just a moment ago in a thread entitled "The Big 3." Also, one reason I...

Jesus repeatedly says he has a God. I believe Jesus over you. However, questions are not a nonsequitor. The implied answer to this 1st question is no, it does not make sense that God has a God. Now, please answer the other 2 questions.

My church discusses 'the Big 3' in a cavalier manner. Perhaps it is so obvious to everyone but me? So, I wanted to discuss it. In the automotive industry after World War II, the American car companies (GM, Ford & Chrysler) had no competition in all the world for the other industrial cities were...

Claiming victory does not actually answer my 3 specific questions. Let's try having an actual conversation and reason together. Shall we?
