    Our Moral God

    If God is life itself, that could mean either that God is the source of life for all creatures or God is all alive creatures. I don't with the latter, do you?

    Our Moral God

    Hi Bradley. I don't understand your answer. Are you saying love IS God?

    Our Moral God

    I listened to that broadcast. This thread reminded me of it. I've discussed Clete's take on God is logic before, too. I don't like him claiming the corollary, though. Logic is not God, just like love is not God. But those are different topics.

    Our Moral God

    Hi Clete. Somewhere in all of that, I missed your point. I understand you feel like you've proved God to be moral, but you talked some about the necessity of His morality. Does the morality of God necessitate a particular morality? Or is morality purely what God wants it to be?

    What is Jesus saying here?

    I'm in agreement with pretty much everything you say, but your number 2 is all that's needed to say it. "I am" was a shortened form of "I am that I am", or the self-existing one. Jesus made the same claim. I'm just saying that if Jesus defines Himself in terms of time in a passage, it seems...

    SCOTUS just handed the left every national election from now on!

    That's why we're in such bad shape! I knew there was something wrong.

    SCOTUS just handed the left every national election from now on!

    This is what God deals with all the time. If “the right” repents and becomes “the righteous”, the left won’t be able to win.

    What is Jesus saying here?

    I don’t think #1 is necessary if #2 is true. If He is who was and is and is to come, then He is able to function within time, or at least “was” is applicable.

    Electoral College: does Winner Takes All make sense?

    As @Right Divider said, the states elect the president. Those states that divide their electors are schizophrenic. Their legislatures have abdicated the difficult task of selecting the president the state wants. This includes my state of Colorado, which has decided to deem itself just a...

    What is Jesus saying here?

    That seems pretty contorted, oatmeal. Even without the connection to the name of God here, there is something about Jesus that makes him greater than Abraham, his ancestor, just as he is called David's lord (master), though he is descended from David. If he was only before Abraham (and...

    Vaccine causes anaphylactic shock

    Protect millions from a hyped up disease that can be treated fairly easily if doctors are allowed to do so. Who wants to take a politicized vaccine that skipped normal vaccine animal testing, that temporarily reduces the chance of catching a politicized disease?

    Vaccine causes anaphylactic shock

    I heard they used the meningitis vaccine as the placebo. https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/covid-19-health/placebos-used-vaccine-trials-do-not-please-everyone

    Who was grafted into the olive tree?

    As opposed to some one who just calls people liars when they can't refute their arguments?

    Who was grafted into the olive tree?

    I know! I feel the same way about him. :D

    Who was grafted into the olive tree?

    Yes. It includes all time prior to the present. I agree it doesn't include a future church of Smyrna. And I'm sure Musty appreciates that you think him so dumb as not to know that. I guess you can add "never" and "was" to your list of vocabulary words.

    Who was grafted into the olive tree?

    I gave you a chance to alter the claim, but you're still insisting that "Never" means "not at any time", rather than "not at a particular time". I'm only saying that Revelation was talking about a real church in a real city, and there's no indication it is anything other than a mostly gentile...
