Paper (fiat) money really has no value any more. No real value. There is only a "perceived" value and the success or failure of that fiat currency han...
This whole thread seems somewhat squiffy TBH. My simple take on the OP: - A testimony can never serve as proof of a thing - Millions of consistent tes...
So . . . a pair losing to trips, one hand having more value than another, is the part that is down to pure luck. You can't impact the cards that are d...
The only decent poker is real life poker, bricks and mortar. All online poker is either horribly rigged or hugely open to abuse (collusion, bots, admi...
@Samuel The very fact that hypothesis S can be found hidden allegorically, cryptically and in actual code WITHIN the literal text of hypothesis C lend...
I think you miss the point TBH. You're taking there about plainly written things, the commandments for example. It's a very different thing when huge ...
I too invoke the principle of Parsimony, aka Occam's Razor. Objectively which is the more likely truth: 1. That the book of Genesis truly recounts the...
I would argue that while ever mankind is massively constrained through the need to acquire resources (i.e. constant work/slavery) that no-one can reas...
Yes. Because the resources for sustaining life are not free, they have been seized by others and the society that has evolved gets people to work most...
In this instance I would disagree. The sheer number of Bible references to this secret serve to underpin it's credibility imho. What all these passage...
I'm not really clear on the OP definition of free will TBH. I don't think there's doubt that our decisions are our own, i.e. that the will is our own....
Cont . . . Nowhere in the NT does Jesus come out and explain the truths in these passages nor does he explain the process I spoke of or its end produc...
Well now, here we risk totally derailing the thread. I will proceed with caution. Whenever I talk to anyone in matters concerning the Bible, esp the O...

Free will isn't eradicated by the fact that our choices are somewhat limited. We still have choices to make. We must not confuse choice with free will...
Having learned some astonishing secrets hidden cryptically, allegorically and in code in the OT, that part of your statement holds true, however I hav...
If so that would serve to demonstrate only that one or more people are capable of removing the free will of others by exercising their own free will, ...
A further way to think about your "free will" dilemma. Consider the computer with which you are using to surf this forum. It is a constrcuct, a machin...
That point is a moot point because there exist consequence to the ways in which we choose to respond, consequences which are forced upon us. So in tru...
As you have easily deduced, you don't have free will. You are born into a controlled society whose rules and absolute control have been established fo...
Thank you for your thoughts Samuel. I don't quite agree with that statement. The "ought to" part simply implies that the benchmark maximum exists albe...
I confess I find that reasoning difficult to take on board. If there exists a maximum value for a quality or attribute and if the beings in the univer...
In point of fact, the Bible itself mentions multiple Gods in many places. E.g. Deuteronomy 10:17 "17 For the Lord your God is God of gods, and Lord of...
I would like to offer a couple of points to this thread if I may "P1: If there exist beings with varying degrees of a property, then there must exist ...
