Can you prove that? ;) It seems to me that a universal negative would be a statement that is universally true in its negation. For example: x...
You are making a broad leap from the Nicean council to the "canonization". There just isn't a link between the two that is supported by...
In all these arguments, you show that the inverse of the negative would lead to a logical contradiction. So, the athiest can prove the universal...
I apologize for the length of this post. [img] With all due respect MrRee, you really need to check your sources. The council of nicea had...
We both use it, agreed. The basis behind logic is to find out what is true, not just what "makes sense" (thought that is definitely included)....
I couldn't agree more, Lib. I hate it when people use fallacious arguments. :) But, at the same time, I have to wonder why you dislike the use...
I completely understand where you are coming from. It is a little silly. It is something that I fight against within every church I have...
Great example! Agree here too and again, an excellent point. If opinion shaped reality (and not the other way around) all the diseased and/or...
Then everything that we think we know is a lie. There is no science, there is no logic. There are no facts. Logic can be completely thrown out...
This is the first I have heard of anyone wanting to ditch the OT. Could you please provide some source materials so that I might research it...
[/size][/font][/i] Fair enough. No arguments here. The topics are all categorically different. This is one of the defining...

You have not perceived me at all. You have perceived your monitor's representations of electrical signals from your PC. That is all. In fact,...
The rest of the argument/dialogue is between you two. However, you have stated that his reasoning is faulty. Please demonstrate how he has...
I am certain that it is both insulting and ignorant. It is also intolerance. The point I was making was "so what if it is intolerant"? Condemn...
To an extent, I don't like using the "free gift" terminology, because the gift comes at a very high cost (to God, anyway). However, I think that...
The core of Christianity and much of Christ's teaching was fundamentally different from the Essene teachings. Instead of just quotining the...
On this I think we will just disagree. To go much further would be to seriously digress from the forum topic. Well, it isn't a DNA sample with...
Well, not all of them. But yes, the vast majority of them. In all fairness, that sounds like a typical skeptic. We will never *know* so there...
Well, I am not a premillenlialist (that's the technical term for Campbell's position, I believe). I am a preterist. What I would point to is...
Separate names with a comma.
