The degree to which an action is compelled, it is amoral (i.e. neither good nor evil).

For those who might be tempted to believe the lies spread concerning my doctrine.... God is Relational God is not a solitary being, closed in upon Himself, nor a detached abstraction, He is relational. This is not a trait He acquired when He created the world, nor a mode of interaction He...

Do you mean run them off by telling intentional lies about them the way you and a handful of your buddies around have done with me? Oh wait! You must surely be except from the standards you hold everyone else to! Yes, yes - I get it now! Mirrors aren't allowed around here.

This is a lie. I 100% was not, nor have I ever been, nor am I at all interested in ever being a troll. Some of the management around here might gig you for "flaming" me based on that false accusation, by the way. (Whatever "flaming" even means!) Secondly, and more importantly, I have most...

I present rational arguments. If you find that offensive then I can't fix that. You are trying your best to land on my ignore list. It's more fun the way it is - for now. One of us being intellectually dishonest! The self-contradictory cannot be "answered", Frank! Except to point out that...

I was questioning you, Frank. It would not have been possible to deceive the Twelve. There is no question about that. It is a biblical fact. The question I'm asking you is why would they not have been vulnerable to Satan's deception? An absolute examination? What absolute are you referring to...

Do you not see that your interpretation of these unverifiable stories is indistinguishable from superstition? You list your religious affiliation as "Charismatic". I've had more than one charismatic believer tell me that Paul landed himself in prison because of a lack of faith. Their point...

I very much doubt that this was a real question. Seems more like trolling to me but.... Jesus was resurrected with a glorified human body, complete with the scares acquired during the crucifixion and there is good biblical evidence that we too will receive such a body. The possession of a...

Why would it not be possible to deceive the elect? It isn't because of some miracle fairy dust that God sprinkles on our heads. I agree! Just what does the phrase "deep consideration" mean to you? You'd have made a terrific Jew! The warning you're referring to was written to Jews, the Jews...

That's actually an accurate answer - albeit not in the way you intended. The answer is REASON!!! Conforming one's mind to the truth is the very definition of the term "rational". Conversely, being led astray from the truth is the very definition of the term "irrational". Why your answer is...

@jswauto, I appreciate the effort to share examples, but these stories actually highlight why I wrote what I did. Faith that rests on impressions, unverifiable anecdotes, or the assumption that every outcome is “God’s will” is not biblical faith. In fact, it is indistinguishable from pagan...

Guess what the one and only tool anyone has to successfully guard against being led astray from the truth (by whatever means)?

That's a laugh. The proper response would have been for you to prove me wrong by presenting the evidence you seem to think exists. I then would have proceeded to demonstrate how whatever it is you came up with isn't the evidence you think it is. This is the only way in which such a discussion...

No. I understand why you say this but it's born out of a conflation of two entirely different and not interchangeable concepts of time. The sort of time science is talking about isn't the same thing as what normal people are talking about when they discuss time. Scientists are talking about...

My intent was not to "call him a name" like I'm some 6th grade school boy, picking a fight in the school cafeteria. Psalm 49:10 For he sees wise men die; Likewise the fool and the senseless person perish, And leave their wealth to others. Psalm 92:6 A senseless man does not know, Nor does a...
