Well, gimme me a break, will you please? I'm not sure what you are asking. I've guessed at what you may be asking and given two answers already. What more do you want? Or could you be a bit clearer?

The problem I am having with your post is this: If you are saying there are three subjectivities within the Godhead, then you are professing tritheism. No doubt about that. Also, if you are seeing members of teh trinity as subordinate to one another, then what you are really claiming is that...

OK, I read y our post. Question: Are you saying there are three subjectivities within the Godhead? If so, that would definitely be tritheism.

Exactly the way what is? Certainly not Calvin. Do you mean in reality? If so, I would say that I seriously doubt that.

I hold that God works in and through evolution, that evolution would be impossible without God. I also hold that creation is God's own self-evolution from unconsciousness and mere potentiality into self-awareness and self-actualization. I get nervous with labels such as "intelligent design"...

Yes, you should do yourself a favor and study up on the literary history of Scripture. You probably should read up on the Higher Criticism, especially in regard to the Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch. Also, you might want to review the discussion as to whether the Pastorals are genuine...

They probably did. Big thing, however, is learning chemistry. Know your chemistry if you want into med. school.

Be interesting to read it.

It does if you are attacking the other guy's character.

But that is not Calvin's conclusion at all. And no, sorry, Marvin here is nowhere near Calvin. In Calvin, we have absolutely no choice. God predetermined absolutely everything ahead of time, right down to the smallest detail and this also includes all evil acts. Nothing was left for us to...

Yu know, I have wondered the same thing. If God does have a truly secret will, just how would Calvin or anyone know it was even there?

Yes, the textbooks are expensive. That isn't the academic community. That is done by the publishers. Illustrations really run up the costs of books, and, more importantly, academic texts really don't sell all that well. You can tell how well a book is selling via the price. The cheaper, the...

As far as I know, med. schools don't teach much about evolution. They don't need to. The students have enough to learn already.

Yes, but slavery is still slavery, and the Bible does condone slavery. No doubt about it.

Oh? And on what do you base that? Look, I can easily pick up a lump of coal and rightfully say this came from organic life on earth eons ago. However, it is defiantly not a matter that dinosaurs began suddenly spewing lumps of coal out of their orifices or suddenly, poof , turned into coal...

Well, the Trinity is no easy doctrine and so always requires careful study. If you fall into a subrodinationism, then you lose the Trinity, making the Son and Spirit lesser beings, lieutenants under orders of the Father, who alone is the Boss of bosses, God, strictly speaking.

It is problematic. If Christ is taken to be less than the Father in the literal sense of "less," then we re into a subrodinationism in teh trinity and that means the Father is the Boss of bosses, strictly speaking, Gods, and then Jesus is a lesser lieutenant. That,, in turn, makes it awkward to...

Sorry, my post got somehow interrupted. What I was trying to say is that according to Calvin, God's unrevealed, secret will would have been said to be responsible for programming the elect to propagate falsehoods.

Well, according to Calvin, GOd's secre
