Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
Please provide a full list of options. Those two possibilities are not exhaustive.Please choose A or B:
...(1) You have stopped beating animals.
...(2) You have not stopped beating animals.
No. Assertion would be lack of a reason. Do angels fill up at the gas pump? What fuels their motion?Ah. There it is. I missed it somehow, and it is a shame, since it is such low-hanging fruit!
Your claim here is mere assertion, just like your libertarian freewill claims concerning humans.
The "rule of conscience" is your idea.(Yawn). Still waiting for one plausible exception to the rule of conscience. Oh that's right - you don't know of any.
So how did they know the Voice was from God?It's not murder when God commands it, it's obedience.
Funny you live by "my idea" from moment to moment, since you can't anecdote even one single scenario in your life contrary to it.The "rule of conscience" is your idea.
Scripture's idea is that the law of God rules over conscience.
Which I did at 2441.When you answer post #2437.
Does not answer my question.Please provide a full list of options. Those two possibilities are not exhaustive.
And if you feel I omitted options in my question to you, please show me what I missed.
God can be omni-potent without coercing our every action - durrr! Just because God worked to insure that Pharoah opposed Moses and Christ was crucified, does not mean He desires to govern our every decision. If our every action is scripted before hand (as Calvin states), how does it make sense that God judges us for doing that which is out of our control? Again, God does not predestine any men to eternal torment, as Calvin states, as that contradicts 1 Timothy 2:4.Then, you agree with JAL that God is less than omnipotent, that he too is subject to causes beyond his control and outside of his own making.
For example, I'm not married, that should have been one of the options. Why won't you supply the relevant options?Does not answer my question.
Funny, how you would choose that option each time!Oversimplified. Life besets us with millions of options daily. I always have to go with the one I feel most certain about at the moment of a pressing decision.
You PURPORT to tell us how to follow God, and INSIST that it's not a matter of conscience, but when I press you on men like Abraham, Moses, and Joshua, you either deflect or, in this case, "You'll have to ask them."I know it because Scripture says it was.
You'll have to ask them how they knew it.
Should I try to be evil?Funny, how you would choose that option each time!
You keep asserting that the "rule of conscience always applies" but you never answer how it bears final authority in all matters of morality. You keep arguing right past what @Clare73 and I keep asking you to do. Then when we don't play your game, you say, "Deflection."I usually do at least as much demonstration as you, and then you always accuse me of no demonstration. It's like listening to a broken record.
See post #2448.For example, I'm not married, that should have been one of the options. Why won't you supply the relevant options?
And the same applies to me. If you feel I failed to supply relevant options, please tell me what I missed.
Useless word games on "authority."You keep asserting that the "rule of conscience always applies" but you never answer how it bears final authority in all matters of morality. You keep arguing right past what @Clare73 and I keep asking you to do. Then when we don't play your game, you say, "Deflection."
You don't know how to follow God?You PURPORT to tell us how to follow God, and INSIST that it's not a matter of conscience, but when I press you on men like Abraham, Moses, and Joshua, you either deflect or, in this case, "You'll have to ask them."
Your theology is USELESS. You CANNOT tell us how to follow God because your position doesn't provide the answer. Tell you what, I'll stick with the rule of conscience since no one has found any plausible exceptions to it - neither in Scripture, nor in history, nor in their own personal lives.
