    Our Moral God

    Yes! At one moment I was disciplining them, and the next I had stopped. That’s a change, not in character, but in activity. Relationship requires change, because it involves response. No one can respond or “relate” to another without changing in some way. God has not always loved you, because...

    Our Moral God

    But that has little to do with whether God can "change" in some way without His character changing. If part of God's character is "mercy", it implies change because mercy means nothing without first a sentence of judgment. So first God tells Adam he would die, then He arranges to save him from...

    I’m sorry, ffree. I have no idea what you mean. I’ll answer “no” to all three.

    Our Moral God

    You have to put Heb 13:8 next to other verses, like these: 2 Cor 5:21 Philippians 2:7 And from the same book as yours, Hebrews 2:7-9 (KJV) 7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: 8 Thou hast put...

    Our Moral God

    That very verse limits the ways in which God doesn’t change when it says “therefore ye … are not consumed.” The fact that they existed means God had changed in the past. The fact that they were the chosen people means God had changed in the past. The reason they were the chosen people means that...

    The sacred name YHVH and the speed of light

    The first letter of baloney is "b", which in Hebrew is Bet', which means 2. The second letter of baloney is aleph, which means 1000. If you square 1000, you get a cool 1,000,000 pieces of baloney--which is a whole lot of baloney, much more than anyone should ever consume.

    Did God make a distinction between light and shine?

    He might have meant "infrared light" rather than "inferred light". If so, he might have a point, if there was any heat at all. But that's trying to insert a modern definition of "light" into the meaning of the text, where it likely doesn't apply. Or if photons hadn't been created yet, then...

    New Lancet study on vaccine efficiency

    I was pretty explicit in my question to you. Maybe you regularly misunderstand people??

    New Lancet study on vaccine efficiency

    Ok, so even @User Name believes the vaccine is the New World Order's antichrist mark of the beast Satan the devil 666.

    Protestantism was falsified here on TOL

    I try to avoid it, but it’s hard to go east from Colorado without going through Kansas. I just did it a couple weeks ago.

    New Lancet study on vaccine efficiency

    Apparently there's plenty of room for snarcasm. Or are you actually saying one of your premises is that: , and I can use you for a source of that description?

    New Lancet study on vaccine efficiency

    I’m not opposed to the idea, but the evidence is slim. Wait til he gets back in office, and the evidence will be greater. I’m not a Trump lover/worshipper, and the vaccine push could be what kills any chance he has at a comeback.

    Protestantism was falsified here on TOL

    I can assure you that they do. Though not as a wafer with wine. New word for me, skubalon. Fitting, for the most part, though she used to get things right occasionally. The problem you have is that you’ve (including all Catholics??) defined a new concept that doesn’t appear anywhere else in...

    Obviously you have no answer with that kind of response.

    Protestantism was falsified here on TOL

    Mark 16, maybe? The prohibition in Genesis 9:2-4 was against eating the blood of animals. The murder prohibition that followed prevents the other aspects, unless the person dies willingly. Leviticus is a little stronger, but mainly in the preceding verses to your reference. It forbids any...

    Protestantism was falsified here on TOL

    Thank you, Clete, I did actually read some of this thread and the other one before posting. I'm trying to understand why they think there's warrant for taking the scripture so literal in this one aspect, while not bothering to in another. I don't believe the wine and bread become body and...

    Protestantism was falsified here on TOL

    All Protestants believe Christ is present in the Eucharist, just like we believe He is present in our other worship services. Matthew 18:20 (KJV) For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. But if Christ is present only when a priest blesses the...
