Exo. 21:24 (= Lev. 24:20 & Deut. 19:21). In cases of serious physical injury, although it would be technically just for the same injury to be done to the perpetrator, Jesus indicated that it would be better to apply the principle of trying to avoid/prevent crime by such tactics as settling...

Well, I might add to my point by noting that Adam and Eve were created conscious = living souls, and scientific sentience is as non-arbitrary as we can currently get, which is why it applies to all faiths. I also might add that fornication is no excuse for abortion, so it must not be a...

At the end of life, the heart and breathing can be kept going via machines, but not the brain, which is why a person is deemed to be dead when the cognitive/cortical (?) brain wave goes flat. Not sure what the "matrix" has to do with death/life issue/logic.

Psalm 119 may be viewed as the paradigm OT passage portraying truthseeking if one understands synonyms: Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the Word/Truth of the Lord; Blessed are those who keep His Word/Truth and seek Him with all their heart. Etcetera for 176...

Yes, spiritual reality/truth has nothing to do with numerology, but it is amazing that so much of physical reality can be expressed and calculated using various mathematical methods, and DNA can be digitized or encoded!

Why do you keep talking about "abortion" instead of sentience?! I thought you agreed that abortion is wrong and should be illegal after sentience? If so, then take up sharing that insight/suggestion for a solution. Address it as a logical choice at the point of before and after sentience!

Now let us consider other Scriptures sometimes cited in descriptions of the TULIP and MFW interpretations in light of Romans 1-11. T – Mark 7:21-23 lists some evil thoughts in sinful hearts, but it does not teach that evil people cannot repent. Rather, Jesus states this truth in order to prick...

It might be appropriate to end by remembering what Paul said regarding music in Eph. 5:19 and Col. 3:16: "Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs; sing and make music in your heart to the Lord." "Sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God."...

Yes, both Christianity and the US Constitution give the right to be wrong. And yes, just consequences depends on circumstances, which is why logic affirms Scripture indicating that unrepentant souls are destroyed after justice is attained in hell. In abortion cases, current ignorance of fetal...

Acts 1:1-11. Verse 1 mentions Theophilus, who is also named in Luke 1:3, so the author is presumed to be the same, namely Luke. Regarding the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, Luke 1:1-4 states that the book is an investigation of accounts handed down from eyewitnesses, but it does not...

Glad we agree regarding the definition of life, but let us also agree that love is expressed by the appropriate punishment of wrong-doing. Again, the crucial question is this: “When does a developing fetus become a human person with the God-given right to civil life so that to kill it is...

I encourage you not to stop with simply saying abortion is murder but to continue by advocating for funerals and the appropriate punishment: execution?

Those of us in the drought-stricken US can well understand that the rainbow represents God's blessing! (Matt. 5:45) 🌧️🌈 He Shall Come Down (Refrain:)Weep, mourn, Christians, weep and pray; We’re so dry, dry and thirsty, pray for that wonderful day. (Chorus:)“He shall come down like rain upon...

No, my posting experience before CC was on an AKO forum circa 2006. The most congenial atheist was also a homosexual, so we discussed that topic a lot too. The person I offended the most was an exC who did not appreciate my tactic of echoing or showing him a mirror (re projection).

An example of an issue not specifically addressed in Scripture is abortion. How does biblical teaching apply to the abortion debate? Two passages (Exo. 21:22-25 & Luke 1:41-44) seem to suggest that an unborn baby should be considered a person at least by the time of quickening (cf. Psa...

Amen! And social issues are moral issues. Schools are perverting kids because Marxist college professors are corrupting the older generation, so we need to get involved in meetings for the purpose of firing treasonous and immoral profs.

Yes, God's Word is Logos, Truth, Love, creation, Jesus, Holy Spirit and Scripture. It is sola all of those!

The second stage is spiritual growth, which is also referred to as maturation (Eph. 4:13), discipleship (Acts 14:22) or sanctification (2Thes. 2:13). Grammatically it is present progressive, and historically it is the process of being saved now. This stage has two phases: instability and...

No, YOU are like a catholic pope claiming to be an infallible know-it-all who needs to learn nothing from fellow Christians who have greater understanding of Scripture. True insights edify others/help them to end goodly.

Not per Eph. 4:11-16, which makes YOU the yahoo for departing from/ignoring that part of God's Word. Only the biblical writers were used by the Lord to write the canon of Scripture, but Truth is also revealed via creation and conscience/moral logic, so both pre- and post-canonical insights...
