B. God had NOTHING to do with Salem Witch Trials. Those people did not know what Covenant they were living other, apparently
You certainly love to pick and choose about what you consider to be or not to be a part of "God's plan". Who grants you the divine wisdom to know which is which? That's what I thought.....

A. I don’t have the power to impose anything Neither does any other Christian zealot in our society. But there's still a lot of them on TV, preaching in mega churches with a lot of influence. So? I don’t agree with most of what most mega churches teach, but that is their constitutional right The reason I don’t agree with most of the teachings of most mega churches is because of the teachings that makes them popular, makes them mega churches I do not believe in health and wealth Gospel. It is not the foundation Christ laid. He said “take up your cross and follow me”. Christianity is not a means to gratify our flesh

Its funny, when it comes to god, Christians always say "god gives all and delivers all" "god is all powerful and willing" "god if good" "everything is gods plan", yet when its something bad - its not gods fault. Its rather amusing. Good things are always attributed to god Bad things are never attributed to god - even when the bible states it was god that did it.

Sorry that we don’t believe in a simplistic, puppet world, as James White would call the alternative to what you are trying to refute
If God always restrained our wills, we would not be humans, we would be automatons, puppets. Or child’s dolls that say “I love you” when God pulls the string
No Christian believes such nonsense

are you against free will offerings?
Btw, most people give online in this day and agE
Now if the money is used selfishly, it’s wrong. But churches I’ve been to have a budget statement that is provided to all members.
Also, if offerings are bad because sometimes they’re abused, so are taxes which are sometimes abused. Not that I’m against taxes, just preventing another fallacious argument.

I’m saying by MGH’s faulty definition of evil, you’re evil.
I didn't try to come up with a definition of Evil. Please don't misrepresent what I post. As for the rest of it - as I said - not engaging but still wait for your position on morality. I note that you are still playing games and are unprepared to simply state your opinion. You thought you were backing up what MGH said by posting the quote. Now you are in no position to criticize it, because it has been shown to be a fallacy. As to basis of morality. I asked first. You don’t want to answer my question, for good reason My basis for morality apart from God? ( not religion, I never argued that religion was). What is the basis for morality if there is no God. Beats me. That’s your worldview. I don’t need to defend your worldview. It’s not government or society or law or upbringing, because Naziism, which is evil , was legal, endorsed by the government, society and the majority in Germany in the 1940s. So that is not a solid basis for morality Give me a solid basis for morality. God has nothing to do with Man's morality. It would be up to you to prove otherwise. As for me backing up what I said ... no dude - that's you just being confused. Again - please don't lie about what I did or didn't say. You twist everything else - don't twist what I say/said.
The more things change the more they stay the same.

I keep trying to go away, because Portland keeps complaining. Are you guys going to keep this up much longer?
Pit, if you as a Christian don’t believe the Bible, That’s an issue you have to deal with. Maybe ask yourself what is the basis of your beliefs? Cherry picking, pick and choose, what your pastor says, or your own ideas?
I would ask myself that if I were you. We need to know both what we believe and why we believe it
Cheers

You said calling people evil is evil. Exactly what you said. Definitive. I pointed out the fatal flaw of that
I don’t have to prove anything. I gave what I believe to me the basis for morality. You fgave a basis for morality that I falsified. Morality is not based on law, societal norms, and upbringing. Otherwise in certain contexts, Naziism and other deplorable things would be ,by definition, moral. And that is utter balderdash

And that is utter balderdash No - just like on so many things you have said - you are totally and completely incorrect. And yet - just like all your other posts - you state your falsehoods with absolute conviction and certainty while being wrong.

I am wrong about Nazis being evil? I don’t think so, buddy.
Are NAzis evil? Yes or no?
If you say no, you have a problem
If you say yes, you prove that saying a party is evil is not in itself evil

Man, this God guy really does sound like a massive douchebag.
Probably drives a BMW or Jag.

No less or more evil than all of those Christian slave owners. I would agree. But that doesn’t make Christianity evil, only some Christians, not all, were guilty. Many opposed slavery. It was not a platform for Christians Out of the Democratic candidates, what is the percentage that do not hold to the parties platform?

I apologize. I looked it up and it It was perfect spiral who defined evil as calling people evil Sorry I mistook you to be the one who said that. I think it’s safe to say that was not a well thought out statement. It’s hard to keep track when you’re answering half a dozen people

So now you're advocating for free college so we have qualified workers for the jobs of the future?
Paying more as your source indicates would help. 90% of the jobs of the future shouldn't require college.

yes.
its also funny you bring up the nazi party, seeing as they relied on people who think just like you do in order to consolidate their power.
they were calling the jews evil....which turned out to be them projecting.
you over here calling people who vote dem as evil....makes me wonder about who you really are, and what you actually support. Yes, the Nazi party is evil? I agree A. So if calling a party evil is the same as calling people evil B. And calling people evil is evil. According to mgh C. You are evil for calling the Nazi party evil. See your inconsistency? MGH’s statement condemns you as evil, by your argument. MGH’s argument is logically inconsistent. It is appropriate to call evil evil in some cases. He said without categorically that evil is identified as calling people evil. Failed argument correction..it is perfect spiral that said calling people evil is evil.and then severa; argued, including you I think that calling a party evil is the same as calling "people" evil. As if calling a platform of a party evil is the same as calling everyone in the party evil, doesn't seem to follow, but OK then. lol So according to perfect spiral and several others, you and I are evil for calling the Nazi party evil. That is if you think through their argumements a. calling people evil is evil b. calling a political party evil is the same as calling people evil c. Therefore you and I are evil for calling the Nazi party evil Interesting bunch around here. LOL

The democratic party is evil? Where did you get that, Unicorns 2:31? PUHlease, take that trash to the dump. I’m with GM. Abortion is wrong. And I add it is evil I’m curious as to something. In your worldview, how do you define evil? What is the basis for morality in your worldview? Evil is described to me as humans who call other humans evil. End of discussion. Let's test your argument a. Calling people evil is evil b. Calling a political party evil is the same thing as calling people evil c. therefore calling the Nazi party evil, for an example, is evil FAIL!!! Worst argument I've ever heard. And for all the funny people that tried to attack me for saying the Democratic party, IE PLATFORM, is evil, you have three of your own fingers pointing back at you if you call ANY PARTY evil. If you call the communist party of the former Soviet Union evil, or the communist party of China, or ISIS evil, then you are calling people evil, and by Perfect Spiral's definition, you are evil. Just exposing the way people think when they are defending an untenable position. They start contradicting themselves, as many did here. The type of argumentation some of you used reveals cognitive dissonance in some of you

whats that? one of the unborn children that God murdered when he flooded the earth? Certainly not to make light - but if it happened, it was God's design and intention. That was offered before - we all have choices and free will but ultimately it's God's plan.

Second, God's plan allows moral evil, but NEVER causes it. man and angels are responsible for ALL moral evil. That is why they are punished. But God foreknew all things, and works all things out according to His own purpose.
