I agree partly. If those words were said by Jesus before His death then Jesus and God are not one. Whether the doctrine of the Trinity is logically co...

Thank you very much for your time as well my friend. It was a pleasure to discuss things with you.
February 09, 2025 at 10:05
It is not a hidden premise. I already mentioned it in OP. I already changed the argument. Please find it in the following and let me know what you thi...
February 09, 2025 at 10:03
I guess that you are referring to the argument of change for God from Aquinas. I think there is a jump in his argument when he refers unmoved mover as...
February 09, 2025 at 09:58
If those words were the last words that Jesus said then yes, Jesus and God are not one. No, I cannot. The concept of Christian God has been the subjec...

You know, my friend, you don't have a coherent view and don't want to accept that it is incoherent. So, there is nothing I can do to help you. So, let...
February 09, 2025 at 09:24
So, do you agree with such a statement? If yes, then a person with locked-in syndrome has the right to terminate his life. Now, you are saying the opp...

Thank you very much for your support. I learned from you how to write an argument in such a format. As I mentioned in OP, I assume that P1 is true and...
February 09, 2025 at 08:52
I spent several hours working on the argument. I changed P1 slightly and discarded P2, C1, and P3 because I no longer needed them. And here is the new...

The point is you kill a human being even though you think it is objectively wrong. Call it self-defense or whatever. That does not resolve the issue.
February 08, 2025 at 11:37
It is alright to change your mind. Let's say that we disagree on the topic.
February 08, 2025 at 11:35
No, as I mentioned, the persons of the Trinity are different from God's essence. I already cited an article on the topic if you are interested in read...
February 08, 2025 at 11:30
I think we first must distinguish between subjective time and objective time. We perceive subjective time rather than objective one. The subjective ti...
February 08, 2025 at 11:22
As I mentioned in OP, in this thread I am not interested in discussing whether P1 is true or false. I assume it is true and see what it leads to. God ...
February 08, 2025 at 10:32
My point, as you noticed, is that the act of creation requires a decision so God has to change to create. Here, I am not going to discuss the Christia...
February 08, 2025 at 10:28
Thank you very much for investing the time and effort to change my version of the argument to yours. I think that is a great step since you refined th...

There is no ought when we deal with subjective morality. You are basically in a situation that is defined by the four factors. You weigh factors and t...
February 07, 2025 at 16:30
Are you a Christian? There is no cure available for it. It is interesting to see that at one point you say that it is his life and he has the right to...
February 07, 2025 at 15:05
You don't wait for legal authority to allow you to kill the psychopath. Do you? You said you would kill him as a matter of self-defense. I then ask ho...
February 07, 2025 at 14:58
Ok, let's see what is my domain of discourse. The concepts that I am dealing with are God, the creation, the act of creation, the situation before the...
February 07, 2025 at 14:51
Ok, thanks. Thanks but don't worry about my time. I am a retired person so I have plenty of time. I however have several interests so I have to manage...
February 07, 2025 at 13:53
No, that in my opinion does not follow at all. Anyhow, I changed the argument to remove the problems and ambiguities. Please find the new argument in ...
February 07, 2025 at 13:37
Thanks for the elaboration. I see what you mean. What does "A" mean here? Does "Ag" mean that God is the creator? If yes, I think it is useful to keep...

Ok, I see.
February 06, 2025 at 18:53
Isn't YHWH a name of God?
February 06, 2025 at 18:48
Thank you very much for your note.
February 06, 2025 at 18:45
Thank you very much for your post. It refreshed my memory of things I read a long time ago, almost ten years ago, if not longer. I read your post once...
February 06, 2025 at 18:34
Thank you very much for your interest and offering to help me write the argument in first-order predicate logic. I am not a logician, so I need your h...
February 06, 2025 at 18:26
Yes, that means that God exists in time. Any change requires time. I have an argument for that. It is off-topic and I wanted to discuss it in another ...
February 06, 2025 at 18:06
MoK and John have the same essence by this I mean they both are made of matter. They however have different properties so they are different.
February 06, 2025 at 12:25
It is a moral issue if you accept that killing a human is wrong. By the way, how come torturing a terrorist who put a bomb in a location is wrong cons...
February 06, 2025 at 12:22
You can read about locked-in syndrome here. It is a term that refer to cases in which people with this syndrome are locked-in within their body and ca...
February 06, 2025 at 12:19
I think four factors construct any situation when a decision is required. These factors are feelings, beliefs, opinions, and interests. We most of the...

February 05, 2025 at 13:22
You don't know what a locked-in syndrome is. Do you?
February 05, 2025 at 12:55
It is in fact very rational statement. You are not happy with this example, let me give you another example: You face a psychopath who is willing to k...
February 05, 2025 at 12:46
How are you going to assist him if killing is wrong to you? He can decide about his life but he cannot execute the decision so he is very dependent on...
February 05, 2025 at 12:42
It may, but the fact that it may gives us the right to torture the terrorist.
February 05, 2025 at 12:33
Didn't you say that a person with locked-in syndrome has the right to terminate his life?
February 05, 2025 at 12:32
I cannot find a flaw in his argument. Could you? I am not saying that I agree with his metaphysics though but that is a different topic.
February 05, 2025 at 12:26
Let's assume it does.
February 05, 2025 at 12:23
So you disagree with your own statement?
February 05, 2025 at 12:22
As I mentioned Aquinas distinguish between persons and essence.
February 05, 2025 at 12:03
Let's assume that we tried all other approaches. Let's assume so for the sake of argument.
February 05, 2025 at 12:00
And I already mentioned that you cannot have a situation without considering these factors. According to Kant killing a human is not allowed in all ci...

February 05, 2025 at 10:47
According to Kant, killing, torturing, etc. are objectively wrong by this he means that these actions are not allowed under any circumstances. There i...
