There's a lot of interesting philosophy that can be made here. The past carries its existence in the present so long as as the present is built up on ...

Undivided existence would have the attribute of "all encompassing" among other things. Perhaps a fun mind game here would be to talk about holes in th...

if God is "in" those things he is finite. Perhaps a better phrase is permeate, expand across, or even say those things exist within him. Either way, f...

That is your definition, not mine, and is riddled with contradictions. Sure, I could kill myself but is that a power? I've had 15 foster kids in my ho...

I've already written it in this thread and put it in the video. Has to do with space, time, affect and effect, for further explanation look at past po...

I can't do much more arguing for tonight, but the general concept is we get rid of the concept of nonexistence, accept existence is infinite and etern...

Reality is we aren't even using the same terms, we would have to agree upon that before getting anywhere, we are simply not using the words the same a...

As odd as it might be to say, I have a sort of meshed view with eternalism and linear time, although I can't say this idea is well formed. I would say...

It really is beautiful you keep stumbling upon the contradictions the Bible presents clear as day as a necessary truth. I suppose that is to say, perh...

I hear you, hopefully I can get you to understand it as intended and then maybe it will make more sense. I'm using the word "nonexistence" as a state ...

I just see a blanket statement, not an argument. "God can do anything" is not the same as "God is all powerful." And "all powerful" is very different ...

"Destroy" typically means to remove the order or structure. If I bulldoze a house, the house is gone but the material that went into it still exists. ...

Ok, I will go about this the other way that seems to confuse the living daylights out of half of the people on this forum. "God can do all things," "n...

God can't do anything, and he can't do everything either for that matter. It is a commonly upheld religious belief, the quick example I'll give for th...

There is a lot there, and a lot to unpack. I will pounce on the spot where I think I can make the most headway, remember I'm trying to make the leap f...

"Nothing" can be use as a pronoun, adverb, noun, and adjective. Saying "nothing exists" uses it as a noun, so you can't then separate it as "no thing....

There is getting to be some repetition here which is wearing me out, but for what it's worth this thread has convinced me a different angle of approac...

You are an open book with no cover and no pages. Thus, it's not really open, but it is.
September 06, 2021 at 01:53
You are very entertaining to argue with, but perhaps not the best person to put a theory through the fire with. Your last post opens many rabbit holes...

I already stated previously I fat-fingered my last name and this was the only way to fix it. This forum doesn't provide a "help and support" link I al...

Perhaps another way of putting it, you have enough understanding to create problems, but not enough to solve the problems you've created.
September 05, 2021 at 23:19
Grass is green and grass is yellow. Grass is not green and grass is not yellow. All of these are true. The reason is because "grass" is a broad catego...

There is a lot baked in that cake to say annihilation is redemption...is that truly what is stated here? That can justify a lot of evil--assuming you ...
September 05, 2021 at 22:47
Quick FYI: using a different account to respond from here, I'm tired of seeing my fat-fingered mistake in my last name with no way to fix it. Let's ju...

Perhaps it is a harsh view of reality, but our parents choose death for us at the same time they choose life. We all know the fate as we marry and bri...
