Great response! I wonder if we could try trading responses someday in some thread to see how well we could predict each other. I write yours for you and you write mine for me. Might be a fun exercise.
On a more serious note, …

Let us be opened to receive and don't compare what is given. Blessings. CM
(Quote)Maybe. Thanks for backing waaaaaay down from your former tone.
Yet another telling article:

(Quote)What Trump decided is that Americas still deserve a measure of privacy and freedom. He did not believe that giving up right to privacy was the only way to share information.
Example: The last couple weeks I worked with a case …
Oh good grief. All this over that? Bill, that sure stirred your pot!
(Quote)(Quote)I appreciate what you say here. Interesting how our environment and experience shapes us. I grew up around guns. I raised my family in Alaska where they were essential to safety. My teen daughter was consistently the best shot in t…
(Quote)Who knows. Accusations fly. As was clear above, Christians are not saying Trump represents Christian values or that we endorse his sins. We are saying (for the umpteenth time) that he better supports Christian values than those who c…
(Quote)Sort of off topic, but I think your evaluation may be askew for many of us. I did not vote for Trump. He gets no free pass. On the other hand, he supports Christian values better than any President in recent times. I favor the many…
(Quote)If God controls everything at the level you describe, then repentance and delusion would be of no consequence for America outside of what God is doing, Neither would faith or love or hate or killing. It would all be God's doing. Whi…
If we want to save the most lives the fastest, stop abortion. If we want to stop people from killing, regardless of the weapon of choice, we have to stop teaching them the killing is entertainment and instill them with Christian values. Be assur…

(Quote)Oh dear. That would be a complete misunderstanding of Trinity as Christians use it. When Christians use the term in heir hearts and minds (I hope) there is only one God.
Not to be pejorative, but we found that our children had…
Makes me think of H. G. Well's "The Country of the Blind." That book shook me when I was about 15. In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.
(Quote)Excellent article. Thanks.
(Quote)I suspect you are largely right here. The exception I might make is that the author might actually have been sincere.
(Quote)That is amazing logic.
There are elements of God that we can talk about without full comprehension. I can tell you about Northern Lights. You can have a pretty good idea, but you can't really know unless you go see them for yourself. We can talk about God, knowing t…
(Quote)Oh that should be easy. First we have the context of all the other Scripture. On top of that we have Paul applying OT passages referring to Yahweh to apply directly to Christ.
Here are a few of those: Romans 10:13 cf. Joel 2…

(Quote)Every last bit of that fits perfectly with what the Bible says elsewhere about the incarnation. There is no reason whatsoever to think Peter believed Jesus was not God. In fact, we know Peter knew Jesus was God.
I love this pr…
The challenge is not to you Bill. You have already made your positions clear on these matters. You do not believe the Bible is True. You do not believe Jesus is God. Your belief is a matter of personal willful choice, not Biblical argument (su…
How you arrive at your conclusions was once a mystery to me. Now...I am assuming distortion is intentional, so I am not going to bother.
(Quote)MMmm. I see. So "Mighty God" in the passage actually means "Warrior doorpost." Was that your explanation? Dave does that, but you?
(Quote)Oh yeah, sure. Isaiah writes in the rhetorical sense from the position of the future. The only way to take it as past is to ignore context and sentence structure and look at isolated words. I am not a prophet, but if I were, I might s…
(Quote)I believe I did characterize you correctly and respectfully as you have stated your beliefs yourself many times on forums. If not, then please correct them. So far you only validated what I said in your own words above quite clearly.<…
(Quote)"And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Eternal Father, Prince of Peace"And you don't know? Was any other King of Israel referred to in such a way? You know God or you don't
(Quote)Dave, flat out, you haven't a clue what you are talking about.
You know, when I lived in Alaska we had moose and wolves and black bears and an occasional grizzly around our cabin. We knew them well.
We also had a guest…
(Quote)I am not sure that means either (if anything), but I will try to offer something of value in response: Nature in the sense we are discussing describes the characteristics of a being. The characteristics we are describing (such as lov…
