Do you support the proposal or not? You have been defending it for four pages of discussion, so it seems you do. I don’t have to be on your side of the pond to know what happened with gun control there and see that knife control is being pushed the same way, and if the GP was so comfortable with...

(1) your claims about large chef’s knives doesn’t stand up to the tweet that started this discussion. (2) Chef’s knives are the most versatile and useful blades made for anyone who cooks. If you don’t feel they are needed, you clearly don’t cook in any significant quantity or quality. (3) let’s...

Or, he was simply troubled in both. I don’t see this as interchangeability between soul and spirit, but rather, simple affirmation that both are needed for the body to be alive. Hebrews 4:12 would seem to indicate that soul and spirit are indeed separate, but very sophisticatedly linked...

This is curious...if a baby is non-viable, they usually don’t make it to full term. Removing a baby dead in the womb is not the same as an abortion. This is so rare a case as to be laughable as a reason for supporting abortion.

I see precious few (if any) justifications for abortion at any term. Frankly, though, discussion on when abortions are performed has always felt like a distraction from the real issue, is it a human life or not? If so, it ought to have the chance to live. Late term abortion is horrible and...

A quick review of the laws indicate this to be a state by state matter and it does not necessarily agree with your claims.

This is a complete dodge of the question. I am happy to share my views, but you made a declarative statement that fetus’ are not children. I simply asked what you base that on. Since you stated it as factual, surely you have some proof, or at least some evidence that you believe amounts to proof...

On what do you base this? Do you have a Biblical, moral or scientific foundation for this claim?

My question was directed at SkyWriting. Sorry for the confusion.

Not to me. Could you please clarify in clear terms what your position on abortion is? It would allow others to have a meaningful discussion with you without having to make assumptions.

I have heard this argument from the pro-choice side for years now. “If you don’t adopt, you can’t say abortion is wrong”. It sounds good at first, until you realize that the proposed alternative is to snuff out a baby’s life for the sake of convenience.

You want to make it more representative, or just more favorable to Democrats? If you truly want it more representative, what changes would you make. He was elected president, thus he is, in a sense, the American people’s choice. Had Hillary won by electoral vote, the same would be said of her...

Early in his campaign Trump argued for removal of the electoral college. Hillary and the left largely criticized him and his “crazy” views on the integrity of the election process. Ironic in hindsight for both candidates I imagine. Myself, I still believe the electoral college is important for...

Agreed, all of God’s attributes are indivisible. That said, issues arise in theologies that place greater emphasis on one over the others. I see this in Calvinists and Arminians. Calvinists place special importance on sovereignty, and Armenians place special importance on justice. Actually...

Saying this doesn’t make it true. Calvinism is based on the foundation that, above all else, God’s defining attribute is His sovereignty over everything that happens. The U and the I in TULIP directly contradict what you said: U is unconditional election, which means the elect are chosen...

Calvinism and Arminianism seem to be the result of people reading and interpreting scriptures to match a pre-existing philosophy posited by man, instead of simply reading the Bible as written.

The born again believer is sealed by the Holy Spirit that takes up residence within. God promises that no one will take such out of His hand. Jesus said we must be born again. How can one then be un-born? If we are a new creation, how can we then devolve into an old creation once again? Does...

True. Yet, it never says he was disowned or was not his son. The father could have honored his request and made him a servant, but instead, he restores him to honored son status. I see your point, but at the same time, there is nothing to say that had the son died during his sojourn away, that...

So, there’s no such thing as a Christian, then?

I will never see the value in this question or the value of fixating on it. Let’s hypothetically say God does not love everyone, but instead loves some and hates all others, what good is this to the believer? We are called to love God above all else and our neighbors as ourselves. There is no...
