@LuxVigilans @AleMartnezR1 @anchoredso37497 Then how is it at all necessary? It's contingent upon its parts. Are the parts necessary?

[Justin Thomas @Footofthepath]

@LuxVigilans @AleMartnezR1 @anchoredso37497 You're arguing the necessity of the universe right out from under yourself

[Justin Thomas @Footofthepath]

@LuxVigilans @AleMartnezR1 @anchoredso37497 Okay fine the universe isn't an object. Where is the necessity of this concept held?

[Justin Thomas @Footofthepath]

@balefulrays God isn't composite so He's not "made of" love and justice at all

[Justin Thomas @Footofthepath]

@1Quetzalcoatl1 @MartinTweats There's your evidence. What's wrong?

[Justin Thomas @Footofthepath]

@1Quetzalcoatl1 @MartinTweats Egyptian chariots found in the red sea
Balls of sulphur found in the area where Sodom and Gomorrah were said to have stood
Flood stories from across the world detailing a global inundation and one family repopulating the earth

[Justin Thomas @Footofthepath]

@1Quetzalcoatl1 @MartinTweats Your principle for dismissal is that there's no evidence which is a universal claim on the entire class of events. Either you're claiming omniscience or its just circular reasoning

@chernovlosya "If God doesn't give me what He never promised me then God don't real"

[Justin Thomas @Footofthepath]

@AleMartnezR1 @LuxVigilans @anchoredso37497 Let him answer

[Justin Thomas @Footofthepath]

@LuxVigilans @AleMartnezR1 @anchoredso37497 So if we emptied the universe of all content what would be left over?

[Justin Thomas @Footofthepath]

@1Quetzalcoatl1 @MartinTweats Very circular, very cool

[Justin Thomas @Footofthepath]

@spligga @linuxkrieg1488 @JadeAtrophis Good questions. 1) we are made to learn what is good rather than knowing it. You were made with the ability to learn English but you didn't speak it.
2) if you're taught lies you will not see the truth. I agree

[Justin Thomas @Footofthepath]

@1Quetzalcoatl1 @MartinTweats If you don't need to assess them on a case by case basis then you must have a principle that informs your verdict. What is that principle?

[Justin Thomas @Footofthepath]

@1Quetzalcoatl1 @MartinTweats If I called you a criminal and you asked "Which crime did I commit?" and I responded "Why would I list a specific crime? My claim is that you're a criminal." would you take me at all seriously?

[Justin Thomas @Footofthepath]

@LuxVigilans @anchoredso37497 @AleMartnezR1 Put another way:

If we separate the changes from the necessary being we've retained the necessity.

If we run the inverse what happens to the status of the changes?

[Justin Thomas @Footofthepath]

@gaius_octa_vius @BibleExpertise @mykael_yuddy Can you justify that the scale of a perceived injustice fundamentally alters this argument? The absence of candy to the child who is denied candy is apparently a grave injustice to them.

[Justin Thomas @Footofthepath]

@LuxVigilans @anchoredso37497 @AleMartnezR1 On an infinite timeline what's the stop this necessary being from changing into a contingent being? What's the principle that firewalls ontological change from change of attributes?

[Justin Thomas @Footofthepath]

@1Quetzalcoatl1 @MartinTweats Do you suppose God gives everyone what they ask for like some sort of cosmic amazon service? Do you think the vast majority of Christians are even asking Him for petty nonsense like a new house?

[Justin Thomas @Footofthepath]

@1Quetzalcoatl1 @MartinTweats You said God interacts in reality and then named two places that aren't observable by the living. You'll have to wait to observe them.

Again if you're not going to be specific about a given miracle then who cares? What would prayers working look like?
