Don't look now Icon....but you are making a deductive argument....you are "philosophizing".

And when you divorce yourself of the impoverished idea that anyone here is defending the claim that we are then your posts will be relevant to the discussion. No one believes that.

Yes....Icon, and the point is, it is provable and demonstrably true that (in base ten...for those who get cutesy) 2+2=4: It is also, I assume...something you believe to be true yourself...and it is not "Scriptural" You are trying to kid yourself into believing that the only things you believe...

This is not like the gun-robbery...don't confuse them....Obviously, in the gun-robbery example, there is a greater desire to survive. "Greg" is robbed of the option to save both....of course, but the question is Which baby would he save?? and WHY? Obviously, he WILL save one of them...but...

Possibly the most perfectly worded, Scripturally sound and utterly inarguable post I have seen on BB since I joined...Thank You Convicted.... You are decidedly correct with this observation here: It's that taking the Word at "face-value" part that somehow seems to escape people....Our...

What!!!! You are comparing the two??? sightings by respected sources such as Marco Polo or this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Daedalus_(1826) vs. the illiterate testimonies of flying saucers by trailer-park mouth-breathing illiterates?? Captains in the British Navy, at the height of its...

Minimum-wage-proponents....You HAVE to study economics as a hard discipline with natural and unbreakable laws....Those laws of economics are heartless and inhumane....but we can work with them in order to provide the best system possible in order to work around them. They are Natural Laws, as...

I would say that merely acting upon our greatest desires (however they may be warring against each other) is an insufficient explanation for all choices made. Certainly, desire is probably the single most powerful "factor" I do not deny that....but it simply is insufficient, and so their must...

I think these are interesting questions...and I would enjoy engaging them...I will prolly tackle this later...'cause wife wants the validation that I love her :love2: as much as BB...:laugh:

1.) There is no Scriptural base to the proposition that 2+2=4 2.) There is no Scriptural base to the proposition that: that is an assumption and a bald assertion. You accept that readily because your determinist masters have asserted it...But you will find no Scripture which teaches that...

You apparently feel that you have made a point which is self-evident to anyone closely reading your post and those Scriptures...but your meaning escapes me...For context's sake, I read the passages...The Hebrews passages I read along with the chapters preceeding them and the next chapters...

Consider the scope and effectiveness of this video, and others like it...and then consider the scope and effectiveness of films like "Fly-wheel" "Facing the Giants" "Fireproof" and "Courageous" Main article: Sherwood Pictures Sherwood Baptist Church runs and owns Sherwood Pictures, a...

I put little stock in things like this....This is a mere laborious and heavily over-stated re-wording of the simple and very stupid canard that "Christians are stupid, and 'smart' people are atheists". These "studies" are the lifelong passion of people whose sole purpose is to further the cause...

This is a deeper problem...the inability to realize you are taking an opinion piece, and calling it a "story" as though it were merely objective reporting.

About this Compatibilistic view: Let us first realize that a compatibilitic explanation for things would not even exist if the committment to determinism were not already in place. It is not as though a compatibilist model is somehow inherently obvious. Compatibilism only exists as a means...

NVM.........DP I need more savvy

Unless, perhaps, if one briefly considers those of a works-based faith who ostensibly torture themselves their whole lives seeking with desperation salvation........Sure :rolleyes:

Double Post Edit

I do not think we have sufficient reasons to suggest that Esau was ultimately unsaved...If I were to posit a guess....I would actually believe that he was. He surrendered a life of blessedness in service to God, for instant gratification of earthly desires....He made foolish decisions to...
