As a suggestion, I usually write "you (generalized)" to make it clear that I am not using it as meaning anyone specifically.
I don't have to "buy into" the framework in order to debate within it.
Regardless of what the actual reality is, which is very much debatable, the thread is working within the Judeo-Christian framework. A thought...
By that logic, Christianity is derived from Jesus, not Judaism. But let's take it a little closer to home. If one Christian sect/denomination...
Much the same can be said of Jews with regards to Christians. Since Jews (religion) do not believe that Jesus was the Christ, it can just as...
Faulty logic. And I point to the "sovereign citizens" as a prime example. They don't believe in the concepts of certain laws applying to them. As...
And by that logic, Adam and Eve were known before they were created, but they still had to be created.
The concept of hell wasn't derived until Revelation. And even then it was not a place of eternal torment, but of a final death of the soul, and...
I just occurred to me that Valhalla sounds like an SCA battle, or those Civil War reenactments.
In my OP I did note that I was specifically addressing actual sins as defined by God, as opposed to any claim by man as to what is a sin. At this...
In the context of a creation deity, there can be no default. The deity decides what the default is when They create it. The dark did not exist...

That does nothing to address my suggestion. What you are showing here has nothing to it to place males and females in groups of equal footing. If...
Sorry for the delay. Meant.to get to this earlier, but then life happened. No it wouldn't. At worse it would make a couple of divisions in...
If God is the creator of everything, then by default He had to create sin as well. Without one there is not the other. God in creating reality...
What? You don't want to play Fallout, The Home Game?
I'm having this discussion on another forum and I thought I'd bring it here and see what you all have to say on the issue. This discussion is...
And yet you argue later in your post that it's not black and white. Reality is there is far more that is subjective, even if a given view is...
Simply because something doesn't make sense to you, does not mean it doesn't make sense. But let's take it a step further. Do you feel it makes...
Electro shock therapy is actually still in use. Not for all the things that it used to be used for, but it is still in use....
Define mutilation. Would you say that the removing of any healthy tissue for reasons other than threat to health or life would be mutilation?
You found us out. We started with the liberal idea of opening electing their leaders instead of a monarchy, and we've been riding that slippery...
