I'm sorry that you took the comment that way. That was not my intent. My purpose in commenting that way was to point out that so far I have found most of your conclusions to be alternately confusing (such as demons being unable to sin), deplorable (such as God creating human beings with will...

God has an anger issue, eh? Assuming Freud's in heaven, maybe He should talk to him... ;) Seriously, I have no idea what that sentence is supposed to be about. For that matter, I have no idea what pretty much anything you said is supposed to prove. 1. Why can God only punish demons by...

I will answer and address this, but I would first like for you to comment on two very important questions which have remained unanswered long enough. Normally, I would not play the 4 year-old game of "I asked you first!", but in this case when the question goes unanswered it changes the whole...

To clear up one confusion we've been having so far: I actually don't believe the lord in the parable is Christ either. I believe it is God the Father. However, their actions will never be in contradiction. In point of fact, while I am sure that I had come across Luke 19:27 at some point in...

Interesting claim. But what purpose can be achieved in demonstrating sin? Perhaps, to further God's glory. Fair enough. But why did God choose this method to do so? Therein lies the rub, for in the situation you propose, God creates a being which not only has a will, but has desires and...

It's not a recreation-- it's a parasite. It depends on good for what form of existence it has. If good did not exist, evil would not either. Outside of God there is nothing. God (and good) could exist quite handily without evil. Evil only has existence contingently; it is contingent upon...

Nope, you're not. My foray into Biblical hermeneutics was merely an attempt to make more clear to hithesh what was already patently clear to me-- the interpretation you just described. Perhaps I failed miserably in this endeavor! I have pointed out several times to hithesh that verse 27...

You present a very interesting understanding of the parable here. Since it is a parable, I cannot dogmatically assert that my interpretation is right, but I can present the reasons why I see things this way. I can appreciate the approach to the chronology of the parable by tying in Zacchaeus...

I will play along, although I don't think I have to. But in the interest of continuing discussion, I will offer these verses: Luke 18:1-8--"1Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. 2He said: "In a certain town there was a judge who...

I googled "Malice of Absence", and I came up with the supposed confrontation between Albert Einstein and the big, bad atheist professor (interestingly, he pops up huffing and puffing in many oh-so-intellectual Christian forwards). I certainly hope you aren't refuting the position articulated...

I'm confused... are you fer me or agin me? ;) (Oh, and if so, why?)

To summarize my position in a few words: 1. Let us assume for the sake of argument that your interpretation is correct: We are to kill unbelievers now, today.1a. Even so, Luke 19:27 is hermeneutically questionable. Therefore, we ought to subject it to other, better supported passages. 1b...
