That is actually what we "Theophany types" do not accept....we DON'T accept what I think.....you seem overly obsessed with: 1.) Thinking of him as a literal man and simultaneously 2.) Thinking that we who DON'T see him as a mere man, must answer that we think he is a human who lived...

I hate to "Pile-on" before you are able to respond Luke...BUT YOU TAKE SO LONG!!! :thumbs::wavey: Thank you, BTW... for accepting the 45 against 1 odds you have been dealing with BTW...:) So I am going to throw in another two cents: HT...alluded to this, I think...but the hang-up for...

It is a remarkable and amazing act of the wise Providence of Almighty God that we do not have the Original Autographs. Nothing would create better fodder for deniers of the preservation of Scripture than if we were forced to be slaves to the "Original Autographs"....All one would then have to...

WOW!!!! I can't believe you never paid attention to this one...Havensdad is absolutely right CTB....simply read it again. Genesis 1 describes what God did World-wide, Genesis 2 describes a separate event performed uniquely in the Garden of Eden ALONE....You also failed to bring up the tired...

This is also true...the link I provided, and other sources also cover this. With the "fiery furnace story" recorded in the book of Daniel...the usually assumed Theophany there is also described as being "like unto the Son of God" as well, so this, although a decent argument, does not provide a...

Thank you...it was a good and well-written book! It was informative...VERY. It was (IMO) very readable and understandable while also being in-depth. You didn't cut corners. Your treatment of the Malachi thing was outstanding. You were forced to kinda "More about this in chapter 11"....kind...

An interesting link I found that discusses BOTH the view that he was a man, and that he was a pre-incarnate Christ...I still hold to the Teophany view, but this one treats both views fairly... My contention is that we should not be dogmatic about it either way. Most fair treatments of the...

I agree...languages do evolve, and there is nothing inherently wrong with that. However, there seems to be a necessary balance that we should try to strike. What we do NOT want, is for language to "de-volve". I have always felt that generally, it is best to maintain or keep language as stable...

Logos: I am finished with this...I knew better than to post to begin with after the second or third response you gave....so, it's partially my fault. Most people on this board seem to have the wisdom to have ignored your thread altogether...and I now see their wisdom in having done so. You...

Logos.....The term "soon" is a relative term, not a concrete one. You obviously think that 2,000 years renders something as no longer being "soon"...Others simply may not. Maybe you consider a man who is 6'2" as "tall", but it would not be false or "wrong" for someone else to not really...

For the sake of argument....what if we could distinguish between: "Original Sin" and "Original Guilt".... I think that I can easily accept ONE of these... but your posts have questioned the OTHER...and they are not synonymous .

Gotta admit....this rendering of the "Prodigal Son" is as new to me as it is to Skan or anyone else....Actually, I think the thrust of your general arguments hold WITHOUT your interpreting that parable as you do...I do not think your interpretation (of this particular parable) is necessarry in...

I have read "Abolition of Man" twice...It is a collection of essays no? I think his basic premise is actually escaping you...He is debating the objective reality of aesthetics... I haven't looked it up yet....but if I remember correctly...he objects to the "Green-book" because the...

To be "good" is to be "good"...to posses "intrinsic worth" is to be made in the image of God. Man is made in the image and likeness of God. Man posseses intrinsic "worth"....be he sinner or Saint. Man has "Worth" (as God's image-bearer) period. Otherwise...there is no argument against abortion.

That is a legitimate Point of View....but you speak as though this were obvious and un-disputed....it may be true...and I am open to this idea. I believe I know the subject well enough to know that it is VERY HARD to be dogmatic about this. Accept, though, that there is a legitimate argument...

I can actually answer for him here: No...there wasn't, and H.T. did not imply or intend to suggest that there was. There wasn't...that is why you don't "see" it as you have observed.... Some people (H.T. included) are not such poor debaters as to always feel forced to engage the...

Unless you are a moral relativist...they are synonymous (at least for the most part)...Certain "Spiritual" or "religious" duties may be subject to clarification...but fundamental notions of "right" and "wrong" and "good" or "bad" are Universally true, understood and objective. There is such a...
