Shamshir. Thank you for explaining yourself once again. Your tripartite conception of "what we trying to grasp" is interesting and definitely one to b...
Shamshir. This will indeed be a great way to express yourself on this matter on a literature forum. But, this is a philosophical forum; therefore you ...
Elucid, my friend. Pause and consider: the question "if condemning someone to hell foreverover over somethings is a just punishment", must be based on...
Also always bear in mind, even if its difficult and you rather feel to ignore it, because it may be so tough to have to live with it: The Bible, "God'...
Can you see what is happening now? We have arrived at the point where our reason is driving us to exceed the boundaries of Biblical scripture to make ...
Shamshir and Relativist. Your discussion has reached a turning point or perhaps a position of checkmate. The questions now are: what is the difference...
Theology is always the theory of a specific religion and in that also always apologetic, i.e. defending the religion concerned. It also comprises more...
After having had a look at the RC dogma on this topic it has become clearer to me how this concept of an "immortal soul" came into existence and hoe i...
Wayfarer. Thank you for thorough analysis. It just shows that there are some real philosophical minds on this forum! To me one thing is very clear fro...
tim wood. Yes, I agree with you - that type of confusion must be avoided. Let me make another attempt to make it clear what this is all about: how cer...

Alcontali. Thank you for your contribution, a very interesting one, because religion has now been introduced, more specifically a theistic one, viz. I...
3017amen. Before I start with my attempt to explain and to criticize I want to make one point - please bear the following in mind all the time in this...
