Serving Zion

That's a strange thing to say. I don't remember that we have spoken before.. could you please explain?

That's what you see. It's not who I am.

No, Banno, you don't know me at all. You are describing some other person, probably that you have thought is me because we are both called "Christian"...

I offered you the opposite, but nevertheless, it is your decision and my words could not have been more persuasive.

You have some other person in mind. There are people who are mysogenists that you can describe as you have described me. But you can't name me mysogen...

I didn't mention killing blood. To kill is to take action to cause death. In the examples, the blood clotting is in response to a necessary or acciden...

Yes, it is a question of women's rights (and indirectly, men's rights), where the question is whether they have the right to take human life for conve...

That, again, is your doing, not mine. I have done so, according to my own expectations. If it is insufficient for you, yours is the responsibility to ...

I don't see the person as possessing good and evil, but good and evil possessing the person according to God's judgment of that person, in response a)...

Most of what you've said is agreeable, and is a typical religious philosophy. I cannot understand how a person can have a philosophy that does not ack...

Right now, I imagine the sperm and the egg's individual anxiety: "I must find a mate, else I will perish". It reminds me of an unmarried human's intri...

I note those points, thank you. The human egg appears to be a living cell (ie: a unit of human tissue in which life operates). Although it is more dif...

Ad hominum is pointless (and disgraceful). If you think I need to learn something, give me information to consider.

I don't see that an unfertilised egg is alive. The statement is still true though, there is no new life created in conception. The life is in the seed...

I haven't done that, the confusion is your doing. I have acknowledged life present in various stages of growth. Are you suggesting that a blastocyst i...

"Moreover", it is a "squiggling fungus" that found a perfect opportunity to adapt and thrive!

That appears to be a concession. It wasn't my choice. That deviation began when I said that they see a fetus as inferior (therefore they do not see it...

Understanding the "fruits of the flesh" is a good start (see Galatians 5:19-23, and you might consider James 4:1).

I am only against the problems it causes. That question is loaded with a false premise. There are many times I observe counterarguments as not being d...

Ok, well we just need to see what prevents a person from accepting the absolute truth. Then, by removing those barriers, they can advance to know the ...

I think it's better to say "how can we know the absolute truth?" .. is that what you meant? Yes, that is true. I also am not the only one who makes th...

You said I would cut out any other cyst without hesitation, so I have asked you to give an example of why I might want to cut out a cyst. You seem to ...

It is just judgement of the absolute truth. When one says "do unto others as you would have them do unto you", then the judge decides whether the comp...

Morality doesn't have an author as such, so it's pointless to ask who set up the goalposts. The point is, they will believe it is immoral to kill a br...

Why would I want to do that?

You are only 2/3's correct though .. and furthermore, those two are not necessary definitions for qualifying life. It is meant to show that the immora...

It isn't considered moral in human terms, and it is frowned upon. There are some people though, who do not recognise an unborn baby as a human being. ...

If you are trying to understand the word itself, think about justification. People have all sorts of different ideas, but they aren't all reasonable. ...

Yes, of course! .. but some things need to be said. Yes, that is true, but I am saying that your philosophy is a conduit for the attack. Philosophy is...

I just can't see past the deflection in this response. The most value I can offer you, is to suggest reflecting on why. If I was to indulge my own int...

On the contrary! .. medicine has no power to solve the mental problems you have expressed, and philosophical errors are the only cause of them. See, I...

It is important to remember that not everyone does choose to do the morally right thing. When that happens, they have calculated that it will benefit ...

It just looks wrong to me because of the principles of rule 1a, but I guess I can grow to appreciate it. The examples you gave here have helped me to ...

That's interesting.. thanks for mentioning it! (I do disagree with a few of the rules in English, because they are wrong). So I did a Google search fo...

That's very astute and you seem to be making an observation that I can't say is untrue .. so I had to look at the original Greek language, because yes...

Yep, no problem. You can see it in Matthew 18:1-5, from the Tree of Life Version: At that hour the disciples came to Yeshua, saying, “Who then is grea...

I have come to understand quite the opposite as being true, after observing that pride is a deconstruction of a natural innocence. But also, as you ar...

Ok, granted that it must be made effective by a possessor, to produce harm.. I would like to see if we can identify what makes the difference between ...

Anything that is not of truth but carries the weight of truth, is harmful.

Your language, reflecting society's natural judgement, makes it sound criminal. I wonder whether you could share your thoughts about how that fits wit...

It really depends on the method of training. For instance, a parrot can learn to say words, but does it understand what the words mean? Artemis said t...

Laws are also constructed to empower gossip and pervert justice, because the lawmakers are of the nature to do gossip rather than justice. They do not...

Ultimately, it is stroking a lust for crueleness. A person who loves truth and justice does not operate with gossip, because our nature is to bring kn...

That's the definitive piece, isn't it? (Matthew 7:15, John 18:37, Matthew 18:20, 2 Peter 2:1-2, 2 Timothy 3:5-7).

The truth can be used as a lie, for sure. A lie is, by nature, leading a person to understand a thing that is not true. In your example, it would have...

I agree. That is why sometimes truth does not have power, even though it could (and I would say it should). Ultimately, the greatest power has to love...

I said it as a hypothetical truth. Sometimes there is no greater power that is calling a power to account for their immorality. It still does not nega...

I think power is ultimately morally accountable, but only when there is a greater power that would hold them accountable. Thus, arrogance thrives in a...

Yes, I do think that the absolute truth is intrinsically constrained by morality, and that morality is what gives truth it's power. Therefore truth on...

I think the absolute truth must usually look toward the preservation of life as one of the highest values in judgement. So, in order for the predator ...
