    Meaninglessness of science mathematics religion- EVERYTHING

    By getting rid of the logic that brought you to the self-contradiction, you remove what that logic gave you: namely, the self-contradiction. You're not throwing the baby out with the bathwater, you're throwing the bath water out while saying there never was a bath. If Dean's goal is to prove...

    Go to thread Questions of Mormons, Adventists and Jehovah's Witnesses.

    I still maintain that the two of you were simply talking past each other re: law fulfilled vs. the law is still in effect. The crux of my statement was that a law fulfilled is not necessarily a law rescinded. I doubt Eila thinks that Christ's fulfillment of the law rescinded the law, else...

The ghost in the hall, haunted house, this-spirit-has-not-moved-on things? The things that psychics talk to? There's no such...

Perhaps slightly inverted though, because I could never shake the certainty that there was something beyond the purely physical that formed the basis for the universe. (This was while I was getting my physics...

    Go to thread Questions of Mormons, Adventists and Jehovah's Witnesses.

    I had taken a good 35+ minutes to type a reply to that thread.. and the forum won't let me post in the Debate board until I've got 100 posts. Then, hoping to at least put it here, I hit Paste only to get.... nothing. I could almost cry, because I think that you and Eila are actually talking...
