    I’m in a strange place: very conservative, but not Christian

    There you go! Changing your frame of reference again! What you are saying is an epistemological joke, changing the very meaning or words as you go to support your mysticism of asserting we live in an unknowable universe. A collection is a group of like individuals, not as far as the environment...

    I’m in a strange place: very conservative, but not Christian

    Contradictions bring things together also - improperly.

    I’m in a strange place: very conservative, but not Christian

    True but I'm not sure what your point is. Some concepts exist as primary, which is to say, they don't depend on other concepts. One example of primary is existence or reality of truth, e.g., a bird singing. Most concepts are secondary, which is to say, they depend on a reference to something...

    I’m in a strange place: very conservative, but not Christian

    And I should add: Which of these statements is inherently self-contradictory: X. I know nothing. Y. I know that there are some things I don't know. Which of these statements is inherently self-contradictory: A. There are absolutes. B. There are no absolutes.

    I’m in a strange place: very conservative, but not Christian

    You are a hopeless mystic, contradicting yourself at every turn. No. 'Ultimate' is not an alternative to 'God,' in concept formation or reality. Contradiction. You deny "I think, therefore, I am." Wrong. In the genus, all things that exist are inseperable. However, in the Differentia, all...

    Why I Am a Trinitarian: Part One

    LOL. Appeal to Ignorance. The evidence is so overwhelming, it is not even worth arguing about. See the Emperor's New Clothes.

    Spotting Heretics

    Go. Go in peace if you can but go. You are incessant about not agreeing. A mocking and divisive Spirit, you have Mary.

    Spotting Heretics

    Doesn't surprise me. Columbus discovered the New World - and told people of his discovery. See the difference pussy cat? No. The Wright Brothers invented a plane and playing word games will not change facts. The Wright Brothers invented the 1st plane to take off and not crash land. That is...

    Why I Am a Trinitarian: Part One

    No. Primarily because the concept of the "Godhead" is not from God's word. Sure, a few trinitarian translations impose that word in English but most do not. Your approach here is the fallacy of Circular Reasoning. You are asserting the truth of the trinity, in search of an apology. I do...

    Why I Am a Trinitarian: Part One

    Me too. Without commenting on your logic, it is a very well thought out preamble. A couple of points to ponder regarding is the explicit nature in Scripture of 1 and 2 but only implied for the rest. In addition, definitions that separate 1-4 from 5-7. That is to say, "Father" and "Son" are...

    The difference in churches

    Marvelous post! I nominate it as post of the year.

    Spotting Heretics

    Catholics are really illiterate when it comes to the matter of Scripture. Of all the denominations, Catholics typically show the least knowledge of the Bible - or even interest in what it says. I was raised a Catholic. My mother thought we were resurrected as Spirit beings. When I learned in...

    FBI Wray has a lot of explaining to do!

    Who says? That sounds like an accusation. It should be handled in court, not an FBI raid. It's OK that Hillary deleted 30,000 classified documents - after being subpoena'd. No raid on her home. Odd that. As I've said for 1/4 century, if it weren't for double standards, the Left would have none...

    Spotting Heretics

    It's not a judgement but historical fact. No more than it is MY decision that the Roman Empire has collapsed, Columbus disovered the New World, the Wright Brothers invented the air plane, etc.

    Spotting Heretics

    Wow! It's like no author's written words can be understood once they die, to your way of thinking. What you write is backwards from reality. Humans are the only species that can transmit knowledge from one generation to the next. In all areas of human experience, we can read and understand the...

    Spotting Heretics

    Sister, you are lost! A management principle is in play here; handle things at the lowest level of management. The reason Scripture adds above and beyond the parties involved is ... what for it ... ESCALATION. For some reason, you are presuming 'the church' referenced in Scripture is the Roman...

    Can we ever stop sinning or be perfect?

    Great question! Salvation by works. That Scripture is the ticket!
