I don't reject NT translators, Dave; I read their work, and in that work find Jesus' multiple, repeated, and unmistakable efforts to distinguish himself from God.

Wolfgang, I think your responses to Gao Lu's contentions are spot on and consistent with the teaching of Scripture. In my view, the most compelling NT argument against the divinity of Jesus are the numerous and clear distinctions he ma…

I propose that John 1.1,14 do not give strong proof that Jesus was God, and in fact, give evidence that John believed Jesus was not God.

As is usual for him, Mr. Roberts draws conclusions based on inferences of unknown validity:
- He says "the main function" of the NSA is "to collect dirt" on government officials, but offers no proof.
- He writes of a …

One of the interesting facts about this "bombshell" memo, Wolfgang, is that it was NOT "delivered to the House of Representatives." It was WRITTEN/COMPILED by the House of Representatives, Rep. Devin Nunes, to be specific.
Nune…

In my view, Jesus indeed "enlarges our understanding of God;" I believe that was part of what God called Jesus to do. But to me it doesn't follow that because Jesus "enlarges our understanding of God," therefore Jesus IS God. I hope I …

The link takes me to a compendium of links to climate change paper authors (though it's hard not to notice that more than half of the authors listed have no identified papers). You will do me a great favor, David, if you identify for m…

I encourage you to review some peer-reviewed journal articles in climate change science, whereupon, I predict, you will agree with me that the practice of the professional science of climate change and "political propaganda sweeping th…

I contend the science of climate change makes clear that it's pretty dangerous to ignore the ongoing alterations of the planet, and pretty gratuitous to label people "global warming nutcases."

To be clear: You also believe that once the president makes a false or misleading statement (he really does do that) "the damage is done," and "not nearly as many" hear the correction as who heard the initial statement (though correcti…

What I find interesting about the president's "fake news" awards is that in most of the cases he cited, the journalist and/or his or her employer quickly issued a correction and, in some cases, an apology for the mistake. In some cases…

In this latest post, Gao Lu, you modify your description of the petitioners from "31,487 American scientists" (your previous post) to "31,487 scientists and extremely well-educated people across multiple disciplines (+/- a couple prank…

This "petition" has been around in some form since 1999. Its signatory list is... let us be generous in our understatement... suspect. For a rather detailed statistical takedown of the list click in Global Warming - petition Comment by Bill_Coley January 2018
(Quote)Jan, I commend the way you permit scientific fact to contribute to - actually, expand - your understanding of God's creative genius. Well done.
My principal objection to a young earth in the face of what is overwhelming scienti…
(Quote)Whether my "version" of US immigration policy history is "definitely interesting," is a question that doesn't interest me. What DOES interest me, David, is whether my version of said history is accurate. I take it that you believe it's…
(Quote)And again you move the proverbial goal posts, David.
In your post to which I responded, you claimed that "the Lazarus poem has NEVER been anything related to US Policy, Law, or any such thing," that "the statute of…
(Quote)So, was the Statue of Liberty originally intended as a reflection of openness to immigrant? No. Has the Statue of Liberty ever officially reported U.S. policy? No. But has it ever symbolized the nation's welcome of immigrants. Yes. Doe…
(Quote)The Lazarus poem, which was affixed to the Statue of Liberty in 1903, welcomed millions of immigrants in the early 20th century. In my view, it reports the nation's attitude, if not its official policy, toward arriving populations. The…
(Quote)Staying on topic, do you also pour shame on the president for the content of his comments?
(Quote)We're not "going crazy" or "rabid," David. We're observing reality and reaching what we believe are reasonable conclusions. I'm sure you think you're implementing a similar process and reaching similarly reasonable conclusions. Your co…

(Quote)I figured you latch onto Cotton's and Perdue's inability to recall the words. Let's compare notes:
(Quote)Now you claim that only "the thing the dossier said about the president" is untrue. I assume you're referring to the so-called "salacious" stuff about prostitutes. I acknowledge there is no evidence that what Steele was told about the …
(Quote)Off the top of my head, the dossier's assertions about Carter Page, once thought to be completely false, have now been proven substantially correct. in A Year of President Trump Comment by Bill_Coley January 2018
(Quote)You and I apparently disagree, David, as to whether the fact that the president made his "s***hole countries" comment "behind closed doors" in any way affects the moral judgment due that comment. You appear to believe it does; I most c…
(Quote)To my count, Gao Lu and David, in the first five bullet points of my previous post in this thread, I made 14 assertions of fact about the president's conduct since Tuesday of this week, none of which either of you engaged in your respe…
