    Evolution, maybe someone can explain?

    No, it's a product of ongoing reasoned enquiry, and as you know, reasoned enquiry, of which science is one (large) aspect, has enabled the heavy lifting that's created the modern world. I don't speak merely as an admirer looking on, or as one communicating with you on the net. In 2004 I...

    A Christian must have a full beard

    Yes, I've seen lots of those pictures. They make it clear he was tall, handsome, cheerful but thoughtful, and Nordic-looking with long wavy chestnut locks, and a freshly washed and ironed tunic ─ would have looked just right in a Volvo ad.

    A Christian must have a full beard

    Quite right, my apologies. I was thinking the Christian God was the God of the Tanakh, but of course at the same time I knew that Paul had thrown out the covenant of circumcision with that God. And the Christian God, a few centuries later, became triune too, a totally different concept to either...

    A Christian must have a full beard

    And as for following the bible, Christians think the sabbath is Sunday. If you want to know what the Sabbath really is, ask your Jewish friends.

    Evolution, maybe someone can explain?

    Sure looks like one when it comes to explaining the origin of species. In that field it has not even one reputable rival.

    A Christian must have a full beard

    Christians don't follow the bible. Not one in a thousand would know the rules for selling your daughter, for instance, but it's all in there.

    MAGA Judge Blocks Overtime Pay for 4 Million Salaried Employees

    I'm going to need it. Everyone's going to need one. 'Cept Ol' Yeller, acourse.

    MAGA Judge Blocks Overtime Pay for 4 Million Salaried Employees

    Next year, ain't gonna be no law no more. That was the central election promise Ol' Yeller (short for Ol' Yeller Hair Dye, as you know) made.

    A Christian must have a full beard

    I don't think you're backing a winner here. Most people, Christian or not, aren't interested in looking like tribesmen and -women from 3,000 years ago. The handful that are, are already doing it. When you say, "men's clothing only", what do you make of priests in pretty skirts ('robes')? And I...

    The trinity is false - I have proof

    This is the god of the Tanakh, whose history is heavy with human sacrifice, mass rape, massacre of surrendered populations, murderous religious intolerance, and more. Don't take my word for it ─ it's all spelt out in the text. If you don't know where to look, just ask and I'll set out a few...

    The trinity is false - I have proof

    The point is that God, when the mood takes [him], sends evil, as all three examples show. And of course God has no objection to infanticide or abortion, as is made clear and express in Hosea 13: 16 Samaria shall bear her guilt, because she has rebelled against her God; they shall fall by the...

    The trinity is false - I have proof

    I was quoting the KJV, where 'evil' is the translation on each occasion. In the examples from 1 Samuel 16:14 and from Isaiah 45:7, the word being translated as 'evil’ is Hebrew ra’, meaning ‘bad, evil’ (and translated as ‘evil’ in 442 of the 663 times it occurs in the KJV, so the net tells...

    The trinity is false - I have proof

    Apologies for answering this twice. Since the first reply, I've also remembered ─ 1 Samuel 16:14 Now the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD tormented him. Isaiah 45:7 I form the light and create darkness; I make peace and create evil; I the Lord do all...

    Jesus will return in 2030

    But when you're not only omnipotent and omniscient and eternal and infinite but also perfect, how can there be anything you can't do? Why, the very concept has already abandoned all notions of reality! Just like God!

    Jesus will return in 2030

    Then, dear Trailblazer, we must continue to disagree ─ respectfully, of course.

    Who Or What Is Christian?

    Well, no, the bible doesn't say that, only the unknown author(s) of Acts in the NT. And like all the NT authors, the one who wrote this never met an historical Jesus, so he was simply reporting hearsay, however traditional to his branch of proto-Christianity. All good historians are very...

    Jesus will return in 2030

    But on all the examinable evidence, God does nothing at all, which in my respectful opinion removes any basis on which omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence, perfection (whatever that means), and the qualities of being eternal and infinite can be attributed to [him]. The same is true of all...

    Jesus will return in 2030

    No. Its ability to do the impossible is the sole test of whether the power is divine or not.

    Jesus will return in 2030

    Ahm, what use are gods if they lack magic? If they're not omnipotent? What distinguishes such beings from us?
