@paulogia0 If the criterion for salvation is that at least one of your selves follow Christ, then only those are damned who could not even in principle follow Christ.
So, middle knowledge becomes a point in favor of universalism.
@crediblyhonest@SenWarren In the country does no good if it's pooling in the accounts of the hyper-rich.
Get the money back into the hands of the people (citizens and local govt), and then you might have a point.
Basically what the other guy said. Reps need a reset.
@waldenpod Can we collectively stop making memes personifying philosophers?
Philosophers are abstract concepts with no direct connection to realty.
Thank you for your time.
@TFHKeith@LearnngFramewrk@ThinkingAtheist What a lovely conversation, putting the typical "facts don't care about your feelings; but they care about mine" on display.
Objective truth, my ass.
@SteveTiger999 @TexanSecular@Askwhyisit Satan knows scripture pretty well, I've been told, and is pretty convincing in his manipulations.
Given that the Bible also says people can believe themselves saved (even performing miracles in God's name) when in fact they are not, ...
I'd say OP has a point.
@ericlovesvinyl@EljorisJoris@JacksonWheat1 Yup, same can be said of ghosts, telepaths, and WMDs in Australia.
The time to believe is when the evidence is convincing. Let's not invade the Aussies just because we can't prove they don't have nukes.
@Enots00@VicedRhino More even in the other direction:
If you like it, it's a sin.
If it's beneficial, it's a sin.
Yawl just wanna sin?
Yup, pretty much by definition.
Self-denial and questionable wisdom for the sake of brownie points.
@ShrimpGumbo27@Galaxiaa7 @JaigenCole @VicedRhino 1: Ectopic but no other risk to the mother's life? ๐ค
2: Week 0 sounds a bit extreme to me. I can't see why anything before e.g. 4 weeks can be reasoned for without also restricting contraceptives.
It's hard to make this stuff concrete in a generalizable way, I think.
@ShrimpGumbo27@Galaxiaa7 @JaigenCole @VicedRhino But lines are drawn โ most places have a limit of like 17 weeks for "on request".
The tail of abortions after week 21 adds up to about 1% โ and fetal pain is only possible after 24-25.
What are people worried about? Is it likely to occur?
