Correct.
January 17, 2025 at 16:28
He knows wrong and right based on what? His nature? Of course, He cannot decide about what is wrong or right. God either acts based on His nature or b...
January 17, 2025 at 16:27
I disagree with many of your statements some of these disagreements are because of the different definitions I use. First, good and evil are features ...
January 17, 2025 at 15:53
I think we intellectually and linguistically evolved well enough to find out a moral fact if there is any. In the end, a moral fact is nothing but a c...
January 17, 2025 at 14:43
Yes, that is my point. But God cannot incarnate since that requires a change in His nature.
January 17, 2025 at 10:04
Whatever the nature of God/Jesus is it cannot change.
January 17, 2025 at 09:59
There are two things to consider: 1) God's nature does not change and 2) Jesus's incarnation requires a change. Therefore, we are having a problem. Je...

Why yes? You brought the idea so the burden is on you to explain what you mean by it.
January 16, 2025 at 19:18
We have unconditional love, like the love of parents, and conditional love. By the way, welcome to the forum! :)
January 16, 2025 at 19:07
Saying that it is an extraordinary process does not resolve the problem!
January 16, 2025 at 19:04
Because Kenosis requires a change in God's nature.
January 16, 2025 at 18:56
I think those verses refer to God's/Jesus's nature which is contrary to Kenosis.
January 16, 2025 at 18:43
Don't you think that the parents believe that their child is disable yet they love him/her?
January 16, 2025 at 18:34
Malachi 3:6 I am the Lord, I change not..., 1 Samuel 15:29: God is unchanging, Isaiah 46:9-11: God is unchanging, and Ezekiel 24:14: God is unchanging...
January 16, 2025 at 18:32
But that is against the concept of the Trinity. There are several verses in the Bible mentioning that God does not change.
January 16, 2025 at 18:04
Do you have any verse from the Bible that supports Kenosis?
January 16, 2025 at 17:39
But elsewhere He mentioned in John 14:11: Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. He is saying that Father and Him are ...
January 16, 2025 at 17:27
I wish you a fruitful endeavor!
January 16, 2025 at 16:33
Good luck to you too. :)
January 16, 2025 at 15:39
I am done with you!
January 16, 2025 at 13:30
There is nothing that you can do for you anymore if you don't want to read the articles published on the topic.
January 16, 2025 at 13:14
I am not talking about Google but scientific articles published that you can find using Googling. Do you believe in science?
January 16, 2025 at 12:55
If you spent a little time googling then you could find many scientific articles on the topic.
January 16, 2025 at 12:35
Don't parents of a disabled child love him/her?
January 16, 2025 at 11:53
There are no problems here. You can google it yourself. Yes. It could be lighter or darker though. Yes.
January 16, 2025 at 11:51
That is against John 14:10: Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? Even if we accept that interpretation then we still have...
January 16, 2025 at 09:38
Yes, very true. That is a good one too. People do that when some verse in scripture does not make sense!
January 16, 2025 at 09:22
What do you mean by He abandoned himself? He is God so He should know why He has to suffer and die on the Cross. Shouldn't He? Oh, I didn't know that ...
January 16, 2025 at 09:15
I already mentioned that one can create the hallucination of seeing red by stimulating a person's visual cortex with the electromagnetic field. Theref...
January 15, 2025 at 12:20
Do you believe in science? If yes, there are scientific reasons why Earth is round.
January 15, 2025 at 09:49
Correct. Parents love their children whether they are beautiful or ugly. The same applies to those who adopt a pet. I think they mix love, affection, ...
January 15, 2025 at 09:46
Let me give you an example to see if we can agree with the definitions: A Bulldog is ugly but one can like it. The ugliness is intrinsic and the like ...
January 14, 2025 at 16:33
This is already demonstrated to you.
January 14, 2025 at 16:29
There is no way to be certain that Earth is round if you are very skeptical!
January 14, 2025 at 11:42
Couldn't we agree that red rose is not red but it just looks red?
January 14, 2025 at 11:26
Beauty and ugliness are objective as I argued in OP. Like and dislike are subjective though.
January 14, 2025 at 10:53
I think we are on the same page if you agree that a red rose is not red. By this, I mean that redness is not a property of a rose.
January 14, 2025 at 10:52
Yes, a red rose has a set of properties that make it look red. A red rose absorbs all the color from the light and reflects red light. Red light howev...
January 14, 2025 at 10:39
I think we have two things here, 1) Beauty and ugliness, and 2) Like and dislike. To me, beauty and ugliness are intrinsic features of an object where...
January 14, 2025 at 10:27
I agree with most of your statements that beauty is a sign of a better life that helps us to survive and evolve better. Women have larger hips and tha...
January 14, 2025 at 09:53
No, the color you experience depends on your sensory system, your eyes in this case, and how neurons are connected in your visual cortex. No, I have n...
January 14, 2025 at 08:56
No, the redness of the rose is constructed by your brain. The flower does not have any particular color at all so it is just the feature of your exper...
January 13, 2025 at 15:11
I already argued for beauty and ugliness to be an intrinsic feature of experience in OP so they are objective (person-independent). What is left are l...
January 13, 2025 at 15:09
I think that attractiveness is the extrinsic feature of the experience whereas handsomeness is the intrinsic one.
January 13, 2025 at 12:27
You have the experience of a red rose when you are looking at one. The experience is gone if redness and other features of your Qualia are gone.
January 13, 2025 at 12:23
Experience and Qualia are inseparable. It is not correct to say that the experience comes first and the Qualia comes after.
January 13, 2025 at 11:47
Just no. Could you have any experience without Qualia?
January 13, 2025 at 11:36
I don't have any problem with it either! :razz: I don't think so. The features of our experience are either intrinsic or extrinsic. They are. No, I am...
January 13, 2025 at 11:34
Of course, any experience has a set of properties, so-called Qualia.
