God can make us Omniscient. Whether we can become Omnipresent is however the subject of discussion. That is a problem since there is no way to disting...

He either resurrected Himself or God did it. How could He resurrect Himself if He is dead? Therefore, it must be God who resurrected Jesus.

The data we can collect is the brain activity but not Qualia itself. I think it is feasible in the future to tell what sort of experience a person has...

How come? Morality cannot be objective if good and evil are subjective. That is my main point that is against Philosophim's argument.
January 20, 2025 at 11:41
Ok, here is my take on your argument: What do you mean by purely simple? Why an uncomposed thing must be purely simple? Correct if two beings are comp...
January 20, 2025 at 11:23
I don't think so when there is no verse from the Bible to justify this.
January 20, 2025 at 10:02
I say that we have the same experience when the features of our experiences are the same. We have the same experience of rose if the redness is simila...

We cannot do whatever we want because of social constraints. Social constraints are however based on what the majority agree on and this agreement is ...
January 20, 2025 at 09:20
Let's say that you are looking at a rose. You experience the rose. This experience, however, has different features like the redness of the rose, shap...

They are features of our feelings but they are not synonyms to feelings. No, good or evil could be right or wrong depending on the situation. Punishin...
January 19, 2025 at 17:23
No, I am saying that morality is not based on any moral facts since there is not any moral fact. Correct. We cannot justify any action if there is not...
January 19, 2025 at 16:27
Very correct.
January 19, 2025 at 15:40
I already mentioned that the Bible is not a reliable source for morality. You mentioned Ten Commandments and I mentioned Numbers 31:17-18. I have alre...
January 19, 2025 at 15:39
The Bible says that He resurrected and ascended to Heaven. I am not aware of any verse that says He became God.
January 19, 2025 at 15:29
How do you know that He became God after the resurrection?
January 19, 2025 at 12:30
Moral facts are required if we want to derive whether an act is right or wrong. How could morality be objective when there is no fact/right premise th...
January 19, 2025 at 12:28
Don't you see any contradiction in your conclusion?
January 19, 2025 at 12:23
Do you want me to give you an example of moral fact? How can I give you one when there is none?
January 19, 2025 at 12:21
So He was not God when He was human? Now you are saying that He resurrected and He was God.
January 19, 2025 at 12:19
Yes, somewhere in the Bible, ten Commandments, God says that you should not kill. In other places He says kill everybody but virgin girls who you shou...
January 19, 2025 at 12:14
What do you mean by making into God?
January 19, 2025 at 12:06
What do you mean by moral codes? I already defined moral facts in OP. By moral facts, I mean a set of facts that we can derive whether an act is right...
January 19, 2025 at 11:30
Cool. So we are on the same page.
January 19, 2025 at 11:27
How couldn't Jesus know that? He is God therefore omniscient.
January 19, 2025 at 11:24
Yes, we do not have a common conscience on many things. We also have a common conscience on many other things. How could you judge that an act is righ...
January 19, 2025 at 11:16
I don't think so. I think that question refers to a state of being abandoned by God.
January 19, 2025 at 11:13
I could not believe something contrary. I believe in all sorts of different things that I am not certain about but none of them are the contrary. Of c...
January 19, 2025 at 11:11
Jesus as human cannot be God because He is subject to change.
January 19, 2025 at 10:42
We say happiness and pleasure are good because we like them. Other feelings which we dislike I call evil. Cool. :) I defined what is good in my first ...
January 19, 2025 at 10:39
I have never said that there is a moral fact. Pain is a subjective experience so it could be good for a masochist and evil for normal people. Neither....
January 19, 2025 at 10:25
Oh, I was not aware of that passage. I used other verses to challenge Christians' views. I discussed this topic with believers elsewhere to death. As ...
January 19, 2025 at 09:47
I disagree. Good is just a feature of our experience. Correct. Morality is a method of finding what is right and wrong. I don't think so. Morality is ...
January 18, 2025 at 16:45
God cannot change therefore Jesus is not God.
January 18, 2025 at 16:20
Are you looking for a definition of moral fact? I defined it in OP. Think of pain that is evil. That is a sign of injury in your body. You look for a ...
January 18, 2025 at 16:18
I already answered that. It is contrary that God/Jesus is changeable and changeless simultaneously. Even if we accept this, according to the Bible God...
January 18, 2025 at 15:39
I think you are talking about the conscience that the majority of people agree with it. The conscience is however not a fact. Some believers think oth...
January 18, 2025 at 15:35
:up:
January 18, 2025 at 15:10
There are different branches of Christianity. There are genuine Christians. Maybe. I am not. Of course not. How could I believe something contrary?
January 18, 2025 at 15:09
I want to discuss two things: 1) Morality is not objective and 2) Believing in god does not resolve moral conflicts.
January 18, 2025 at 10:57
I think all Christians believe that this verse is not a metaphor. They believe that Jesus died on the Cross and rose from death. This verse together w...
January 18, 2025 at 10:54
My point was the love of parents for their children is not affected by whether their children are ugly or disable. A disable child is disable and cann...
January 18, 2025 at 10:30
No, I am not saying that. Again, God's intervention is not the subject of this thread.
January 18, 2025 at 10:24
No, it does not sound so.
January 18, 2025 at 10:21
Perhaps, He was experiencing the Father within Him. Most scholars think that this verse together with others is an indication that God is trion.
January 18, 2025 at 10:20
Yes, there is a verse in the Bible. John 14:11: Believe me, when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me...
January 18, 2025 at 09:54
That is not the point of my discussion in this thread. I am arguing that humans can also know moral facts if there are any known by God. Anyhow I thin...
January 18, 2025 at 09:50
Thanks for sharing the link. I will read it when I have time.
January 18, 2025 at 09:44
He makes rules either based on His nature or based on moral facts. God is accepted to be a moral agent at least within believers. Is God a moral agent...
January 18, 2025 at 09:43
That is just a definition. Good and evil are features of our experiences and they are both necessary. Feelings together with reasons, teaching, etc. a...
January 18, 2025 at 09:17
God/Jesus cannot be both changeless and changeable simultaneously. Even if we accept that He cannot change His nature and become changeable only (Mala...
