“Do not hold back discipline from the mere boy . In case you beat him with the rod, he will not die. With the rod you yourself should beat him, that you may deliver his very soul from Sheol itself.”Here it mentions “beating” your boy, saying “with the rod you should beat him.” 2 Cor 11:23-27 mentions that Paul…[Read more]

Beating wives whether legal or illegal is not the issue, it is weird how you keep combining morality with judging morality. The bible for instance does not “promote” beating children but that is the way you keep framing the context. All talks of corporeal punishment is the extreme example. When the Bible speaks of going to hell it is not pro…

Hi nick.
Jesus apostatized from Judaism. So did Paul. Is this the worst form of morality, as you say? If a Roman Catholic apostatized from Catholicism would that be the worst, like you say?
I didn’t really say upbringing was more important. The ideas that are programmed or modelled or patterned or indoctrinated into your head at an early…[Read more]

How can you Know that?
The ‘a’ was not in the original text.
The Holy Spirit does not add the ‘a’.
Man adds the ‘a’.She can’t know that. No one can know either way on this one based on the scripture itself.
(But tiven that no indefinite article exists in the Greek, if you see an “a” in the Greek scriptures you know it was “added,” as…[Read more]david replied to the topic MIRACLES in the forum Scriptural Teachings 9 years, 5 months ago
Whether I am or am not, is irrelevant to this discussion and practically all discussions on here, unless you are prone to fallacious thinking and need to make such attacks to feel right somehow. I think you should go back and re-read the post. I was answering for that other guy–the guy that actually read the original posts and understood what…[Read more]

Nick and gene.
i did not actually say what you think I said in the miracle thread. Context is important. Pronouns are important.

Hi,
So where does the CONSCIENCE fit in?
Man ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Unless a man has a SEARED CONSCIENCE it should serve him. Rom 2.14.
Of course many acquire a certain morality by fitting in with the MORES of society or their culture.
Hi nick. Yes, we are born with a sense of right and wrong. Bit a lot of what…[Read more]

David,The violence has not declined in my neighborhood. Another young man was shot and murdered a week or two ago. I hope my neighborhood is outside the norm. Thankfully we have been medicine no so that many of those victims that would die now live. I read an…

Do you think nick is a pagan? I don’t care, either way. I’m just curious.
Why don’t we just ask bod if he is happy.
Also, bod, if I wanted the best or maybe the most popular Quran, in English, what would I buy?

Hi david,
Does the morality of the world surprise you?
mk 7 .21f
All that surprises me is how much violence has declined. Yes, it surprises me. Because I was under the spell of some cognitive illusions that you and everyone seem wholely unaware of, illusions which make things “feel” one way, while all evidence points another way.

Dear pagan,
How can you understand the bible? Leave your witchy ways. Return to the true God. He will forgive you.
Now, let’s stop whatever counterproductive intellectually dishonest distractions nick can hurl at me, and focus on the actual topic.

You seem to be rather like a mother bird dragging a wing moving away from the nest, feigning vulnerability and drawing the focus to herself rather than her chicks. Then when you get a response you turn on the group in full attack mode.

Nick,
Why do you think what you think? You know there are those on here who know who I am. You are not one of them. Why do you pretend to be? Given your mad evil world of Warcraft skills I would think you could summon the voodoo magik to get a vision dream and know this. Or have you given it up for God?

I just checked what Miia just copied and pasted. It seems she is just copying what the watchtower organization is saying. She did what I did!
But I don’t think she read any of it. If she had, I would presume that she would make some sort of rebuttal to the scriptures and reasoning that is used.
I of course go much further than what they…[Read more]

I had posted a post on the genetic fallacy. Don’t know what happened to it.
In answer to nicks question and things miia has implied, it doesn’t matter where an idea originates. What matters is if it is true. It is a fallacy to believe something is wrong on the basis of its origin. For example, I don’t just assume that everything nick says is…[Read more]
