Re: Paging Mr. Morrison RE: Your Thesis P.139-147
Hey guys, its been a while since I've been here, but I wanted to dig this important dialog back up now I that actually have time to sit down and actually respond. I just have a couple of quick questions for you dom, if you don't mind. God is a perfect substance and that substance is not in any way a...

Paging Mr. Morrison RE: Your Thesis P.139-147
So, I had a look at your thesis and I simply wanted to give you my comments strictly on the pages you asked me to look at. Page 139 since, in the end, simplicity merely (strongly) affirms that the Trine God is in fact one Being. If, in the end, DS is merely (and strongly) affirm that God is in fact ...

Re: Trinity and Divine Simplicity
Actually, you have this backwards. DS doesn't depend on that. DS concludes with that. The argument is: Stop right there. Read what I said again. "What Jac has specifically argued and his claims (backed by his research) in regards to DS " So, no, I don't have it backwards. Stop trying to c...

Re: Trinity and Divine Simplicity
Oh Lord, Jac, seriously. Stop with the rediculous assertions. Rejecting DS is not rejecting Trinity doctrine. It is clear as day in scripture. John 20:28-29 and in a host of other places. More specifically, the DS doctrine as you've described it is much more entrenched in the debate of what kind of ...

Re: The Eternal Sonship of Christ
I have told you what see, I cannot make it any clearer to you for the simple reason you cannot acknowledge this... “The highest form of love is never self-centered but is a love that gives and sacrifices for the sake of others and remains faithful to love unto death. Only this love can be trusted t...

Re: Trinity and Divine Simplicity
So, I was pretty much going to let this one run a bit before I put my opinion out there. So here it is. What Jac has specifically argued and his claims (backed by his research) in regards to DS and the nature of God's existence; is (predication) in short entirely dependent on the idea that God's &qu...

Re: The Eternal Sonship of Christ
Oldman, You need to STOP making walls of text gibberish. Its not helping your discussion, and it only exhausts people who are replying to you because they have to scan around your gibberish to find what they disagree with. Its a complete lack of respect to people's valuable time and efforts. You pro...

Re: Political Party
I'm not sure how a politics topic ended up in the philosophy section. So, I am sort of scratching my head here thinking if we are discussing political philosophy, but we're not really doing that either. Either way, if the question we are asking is if a political party can resemble Christian values, ...

Re: William Lane Craig's "Five Reasons" for Belief in God
As a non-Christian, I figured I would give my personal responses to these arguments, as well as explaining why many atheists, agnostics, and non-Christians might reject them. Sure, I'll respond to them. To me, this is both a good and bad place to start. On one hand, I find it hard to reject the log...

Re: William Lane Craig's "Five Reasons" for Belief in God
Its too bad this was on fox news instead of somewhere like CNN or MSNBC cause their viewers need to hear his arguments. Nonetheless, I'm glad Craig has been getting some airtime somewhere.

Re: Reason to believe (The learning version)
Well, now that the dust on this is all settled. I just wanted to say that while I commend everyone for their extreme patience, but I hope you guys recognize that a MUCH shorter lease is a better idea once you've identified this sort of archetype way of reasoning. I wholly agree that everyone needs a...

Re: Sigmund Freud's Future of an Illusion
Well this is an interesting topic that flew under my radar. As already stated, I know your class is done, but I'll just add my 2 cents. I'm rather surprised that this teacher is as bold as you say he is, clearly teaching an agenda rather then allowing your class to examine everything and give it all...

Re: Prayers for my friend's travel and temporary life abroad
I just wanted to update you guys on this to thank you all for your prayers and that they have been answered so abundantly. My friend has adjusted to life there, and has found many local Christian friends both foreigners and natives. She attends church service and the fellowship has been good. She is...

Reason to believe (The learning version)
I'm going to replicate the previous thread for the purpose of LEARNING how to pinpoint such a ridiculous claim. I'm going to replace the substance with crystal meth and underline what was NEEDED to be read. My objections in bold. The following is a brief history of how I came to be as I am now and I...

Re: What would God say if he came here and why.
Hey guys, I know this started back at sept 25 but I want to actually revisit Lunalle's post at #2 and provide my response to it. I'm going to do it bit by bit because I find it one of the more interesting points and it provides a challenge to everyone else. I guess my expectations of God are higher ...
