<Gary from previous post> Something is invalid if it can not be logically derived or deduced, or correctly inferred from the premise. <Brian> Thanks. That is...
It is true that many of the crucial leaders in the American Revolution were Deists, and it also true that many were Masons. However, both phenomena are clearly...

Most authorities do agree that "crustulum" is a more exact translation ... but there were also a few who felt that it indicated a confection more like a tart...
Genesis 1:26 "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness...." Just a few questions: 1. Since it says "US" and "OUR", was there more than...
First of all, this is the only time in which the Deity is represented by a plural pronoun ... some writers see this as the royal "we" ... but I'd rather follow...

First of all, once again, you clearly do not comprehend the Trinitarian nor the Chalcedonian formulas ... Jesus is BOTH a man and God. Jesus the Man died on...
Thank you, Ambrose, for your attempt to elucidate things both fairly and accurately. One correction, though. The immaculate conception of Mary is a doctrine ...

<Rob> I am not trying to be sarcastic here, but have a genuine question for you. You claim a Christian background, and thus should have been exposed at least...

Interesting. So the Bible doesn't use the word "Trinity?" Interesting. It also doesn't use the word sacrament, God (English not having been developed yet) nor...
Sam ... Did they know it was phony? Perhaps they believed it but were mistaken. If Peter and Paul were killed for their beliefs, then it may not have been...
Ambrose ... Obvious? Far from it. Where in the NT does it make the claim that the Holy Ghost is God? Regards Tim Revelation 21:8 But the cowardly, unbelieving,...
<Rob> I can see why you might say that, however, you might ought to consider whether your last assertion could possibly be subject to the fallacy of the...
<Ambrose> Gary, are you truly interested in the orthodox Christian cosmology? <Gary> Yes, but it seems most of my questions are ignored, just as you have: If...
Gary, it would be no problem that Jesus, as human, experienced God as a separate thing ... for as human, the Not God stage of existence would be most obvious...

Gary, whether or not one agrees with an argument does not affect its rationality nor its logic. As such disagreement can be based upon rejection of the base...
Ambrose ... What is the impact of such selectivity? Is it possible that there are good arguments for the existence of God that have been missed by rationalists...
Gary ... Evidence is key for me. Atheists are asked to accept Jesus and yet asking why one should regard the gospels as reliable leads to just blind faith...
