Image123: Evidently you don't, but God does. i should not be showing you from His Word the several instances He condemns human sacrifice, you know. There are several things your god condemns but goes right ahead to do so showing me where he condemns it does nothing to the narrative that he initiated and accepted a human sacrifice (let's not even talk about Jepthah). |

Image123: Now you're patronizing the whole forum and every sensible reader. The fellow you addressed made a reference to time implying that the future will reveal the truth about if he is right or you are(on God). And you replied him on 2000years. This is a reference to Jesus Christ, yes or yes. Either you don't understand what you're asking or you forget. 1000years is like 1day, add it to your reflections. LordReed: How many more in addition to 2000 years do you require? |

Image123: Indeed. i suppose you don't see any contradictions in the Bible then or in the Old and New covenants, right? Not all reasons are equal, right? Has nothing to do with contradictions in the bible. So you do have enemies that you don't love, only that they did not surface. Good for you. You do not love your enemies but you want God to love His enemies. Can you really see the man in the mirror yet? LoL so now god is a man like me not some ultra good being. OK. LMFAO! |

Image123: It's the obvious exception. How do you refer to that as liking the smell of death? The many times he likes the smell of burnt animal sacrifice, the many times he asked people to be killed or even killed them himself, the many times people get killed for his sake and he does nothing about it. |

Image123: Lol, of course you can't answer. You'd probably be shooting your own foot if not head. You forgot that His attributes include being Eternal and that in His realm, people don't actually die in the sense that you depict but will either go to hell or heaven. You cut out that huge difference/part or you refuse to be aware? There is a difference between can't and won't, I won't. Still doesn't change anything, killing babies in a flood is right because in his realm people don't actually die. No disagreement yet. |

Image123: It is different from liking the smell of death as you assumed, especially as you know that God does not accept any human sacrifice. He sacrificed his son in human form to himself, that is accepting human sacrifice. |

Image123: Again, you somehow missed out the answer to give me an example or two of God for proper comparison. Nonetheless, anything God does has to be examined in His standard and attributes of Omniscience, Omnipotence, Omnipresence, being Eternal, being Creator, being Judge. Not just omniscient but Omniscience, Omnipotence, Omnipresence, being Eternal, being Creator, being Judge. He is not just Omniscient(a term you are likely struggling with the definition BTW), He is the Creator and Owner of everything with 100% rights. He is the Supreme Judge of everything. Factor these in. Half truth, half knowledge, or half education is not equal to the full picture. I didn't miss, I am not answering any of your questions period. Still not seeing any disagreement. He owns and created the babies so he is right when he kills them in a flood. Whatever attributes you've ascribed to him makes it right to kill babies in a flood. I think we agree on this completely. |
Christianity Etc › Re: My Argument For God's Existence. by LordReed(m): 9:08pm On Apr 07, 2021 |
hiddendude: 1. The universe couldn't have always existed as this is inconsistent to how we experience it. Cause and effect work with a forward computation of time from a possible point (a possible infinity). There are two kinds of infinity (possible infinity and actual infinity). A possible infinity begins with a point in the past and continues infinitely into the future. An actual infinity exists infinitely in the past and continues infinitely into the future (e.g integers on a number line).
2. If the universe were an actual infinity, then the present epoch would be logically impossible. How? Like I posited in the first argument, cause and effect work with a forward computation of time from a possible point. We understand this because we get to present times by successive additions. To understand this, think of the number line. The number 0 stands for the present epoch/point in time, negative numbers represent past epochs and positive numbers represent future epochs. Think of a hypothetical situation in which you have to traverse the number line from negative numbers to 0 (you do this by making successive additions e.g -3, -2 (-3+1), -1(-2+1), 0 (-1+1)). Such an addition is only possible if you have a starting point from which such additions can be made. If you traverse infinitely into the negative part of the number line (i.e numbers before 0 on the number line), you'll never make successive additions because it would be impossible to pick a starting point, hence you'll never get to 0.
3. If the universe existed infinitely in the past, there can be no cause and effect because a forward computation of time would be impossible within the universe.
4. The universe must have a beginning for cause and effect to be possible.
5. If the universe had a beginning, then itself is an effect of a greater cause. Whatever caused the universe must itself not be caused as this would lead to an infinite regress which we must reject because we know it is possible to make forward computations of time which would not be possible with an infinite regress as demonstrated using the number line. This thus leads us to infer that this cause is itself actually infinite.
6. This actually infinite cause transcends the universe because it precedes it.
7. Thus God is the best possible explanation for this as the concept of God assumes actual infinity is a feature of God.
I'm open to counterarguments with logic. Your understanding of infinity is flawed, Infinity minus infinity is not zero, it is still infinity. If the universe were infinite there's no way you'd even be able to comprehend it. As it stands the scientific understand of the universe comes to a halt at the event of the big bang beyond which human understanding has not penetrated. If you are discussing on the nature of the begins or origins of the universe, you must necessarily be doing it based on speculation, educated or otherwise. To now come to a conclusion that it must then be a god that did it is a suspect conclusion. I will attempt a more comprehensive answer later. |

All the same he is faithful. For instance, if I pray for a family friend who is three months pregnant for safe delivery., I don't expect her to deliver the next minute. I pray, I wait. So my God is faithful. This is not what I am referring to. Even when you don't get what you prayed for you'll still say "my god is faithful". |

I can justify why something is good or bad to me because I have an objective framework with which I can gauge actions. And by objective I mean goal oriented not absolutes. |
