Whoa FreakerSoup! We actually agree on something?! Logic is a fundamental aspect of God's nature. He cannot defy it nor can He ignore it....
Occam, you are still relying on your straw-man concepts of hell and the Christian God. I have given you an alternative view of Hell that is as...
Well, they haven't opened the sarcophagus yet, so documents within it could identify the body as being Paul. Especially if the body and all other...
Possibly. Conceptually, I would agree. However, if you have an object of infinite density, then even a slight sliver of the object would have...
Is time made up of an infinite number of infinitely small and infinitely close moments? If not, then the line analogies completely fail since...
I don't think I am making clear the distinction between potential (conceptual) infinity and actual infinity. We aren't talking about the ability...
Do the same for logic. The law of parsimony. Love. Hate. Beauty. Mathematics. Your requirements are arbitrary. If hell is not a physical...
I would say that there is an infinite number of divisions (which are conceptual). We can transverse an infinite number of divisions between point...
This is not relevant. Your argument was basically based on the absurdity of hell existing, not on who would or wouldn't go there. You still hold...
Huh? What straw man is that? That hell exists? Or the nature of that existence (as a relationship more than a place)? Usually a straw man is a...
Not so. The issue of an empirical event needing an empirical cause is very different from a non-empirical event not needing a cause. I have a...
Sounds fair. I probably should have posted in the general Religion forum. Fire away.
You still don't get it. The language used in scripture is hyperbolic. Not only that, but it is relational more than physical. Look, here is...
Someone once asked me in a discussion "why can't the universe just be eternal?" I didn't have an answer so I did some research. I am posting a...
Care to explain why that is a load of crap? I wish I could claim the below as my own, but it is an excerpt from a more lengthy article found...
Just because He never used the *word* doesn't mean that He never talked about it. He talked about gehenna (and used the word) where the worm...
Not at all. [img] Because what determines how "literal" a statement was depends on the literary and cultural context. For example, we talk about...
I am not quite sure what your point was, but I'll respond. Hell is not literal fire and brimstone, but merely uses those terms to describe what...
I usually don't like to jump into this debate but I wanted to make a small insertion here. When dealing with fossils, we have relatively few...
Because He was crucified. Because He was a historical nobody (at the time). Because He wasn't Roman. Because He didn't do anything that a...
Separate names with a comma.
