    How about we have a thread about the "paranormal"?

    Any Christian who is interested in these topics in any way should check out Mike Heiser. He is a legit Bible scholar who thinks well and deeply about such things. He is mainly known for his Deuteronomy 32 world view, but talks an aliens and other paranormal things. His biggest work is The Unseen...

    I never said facts were the same as reason. We reason based on facts and I have not conflated these terms. Additionally there are different types of evidence direct and circumstantial. One relies on inference, one does not Finally it is not true that belief in the absence of fact is faith. What...

    I will reiterate, ultimately any position you take requires faith. As you said nothing can be 100% proven, so any position you take requires you to trust or have confidence in your position. However some positions correspond to reality more than others. That is not correct. There are many facts...

    This is from post 497 and what I was getting at in 720 about “truth of an interpretation” To an extent this is true; however, that does not mean that just because someone comes up with an interpretation makes it valid. In other words, just because someone reads a passage a certain way does not...

    If I miss read your intent, then I apologize. However, right before this line of discussion you said “No one has yet proven there is or is not a god”. That is why I discussed that there is no such thing as 100% verifiable proof on the big issues (something apparently we both agree on). That is...

    I don’t think you get what I was saying. Yes, some facts change, I never said they didn’t and that is the point of what I was saying. In your analogy about coffee, you intentionally worded it about a mutable/changeable fact, and then conditioned the truth of your statement on time. What I was...

    Your example of a coffee cup does not hold water when we are addressing things with permanence and really is a strawman argument. Your statement about your coffee cup is a statement tied to a state of reality that is subject to change, so it is loaded. If you had said “at 10am my coffee was full...

    You misrepresent my usage of “correct” as it was not a blanket statement about your claims on truth. I was only saying correct to a specific part of what you were claiming, mainly 100% verifiability. Truth is definitely something that can be known and understood, because truth claims can be...

    Let me preface this by the fact I used to be an atheist and my bachelors degree was in philosophy. I used to be the king of being an eternal skeptic. What you are getting into now is what we call Apologetics. I have spent many years of my life on the question of the existence of God. I can go...

    All this shows that we need to have a metric for understanding truth other than someone's sole interpretation. The validity or “truth” of an interpretation depends on how close the interpretation is to what the other of the text meant, better know as the author’s intent. This venture of trying...

    Interesting that you would call that a remark and not be quoting scripture. Yet that conclusion you have made and the statement “one body one spirit” has been all throughout your reasoning and has been the rationale for many of your conclusions. Here you are admitting that part of your position...

    Dude the text does not say that AT ALL! No where in that verse or in Luke does it say Father. Nowhere in either text does it say the Holy Spirit is the Father. What you are doing is reading your theological position into the text, you are eisegeting. Reading your theological position into the...

    Admittedly I went back through some of your posts to try and make sense of your wacky heresy. This is false, the Holy Spirit is not the Father. Let’s address the Spirit overshadowing Mary and saying that that makes him the Father. First no gospel account says that. Here is the account from...

    You have been told multiple times and shown with multiple scripture that the Jews had a belief in a plurality in God. You just choose to ignore the verses or completely mis interpret them. I’ll give you the KJV this time since you ignorantly believe only it is scripture and only it is inspired...
