Metamorphman, I guess you're happy you're getting all this attention!
I don't understand why you hang around here, if you don't like the results of our digging/thinking. Goodbye and good luck!
It's not even so much that you disagree with TS/Front being Michael, but it's your patronizing tone like you're so smart and we're so dumb. So no question you're just another common garden-variety 'shit-stirrer'.
Souza, you and Bec are just the
best for keeping the forum pest-free! /bravo/
(we can all be pests sometimes ::P to someone in our lives)
This is beLIEver's turf, so naturally we will defend it against empty-handed naysayers. What gets me is their arguments against TS/Front are ones we have thoroughly hashed over so LONG ago, and mostly resolved. However if they want to be helpful, why not bring helpful discussion in a more forward approach, into new 'frontiers'. Be on the cutting edge, rather than a dragging foot slowing progress.
Love the boot Love4Michael! Classy too! :lol:
Badria, thank you for posting those sites! I've put them on my 'to read' list. I've come across the comparison of Muhammad and Moses before. My knowledge of Islam is very limited though I have done a little study and read portions of the Koran. TS made reference to the Exodus story in the Koran, but other than that he has focused on the Bible which is why I've not needed to learn more, at least for now.
Edit: It was Front, not TS--same person IMO :lol:
QuoteThe miraculous story of parting the Red Sea is told in the Book of Exodus 13:17-14:29. It's also mentioned in the Qur'an (Surah 26: Al-Shu'ara, verses 60-67).
AustralianBeLIEverMJ, and Fordtocarr, congrats on the new jobs, and I hope you still manage some time for the forum!
For the ones engaging with me on the topic or freewill or not, I hope we're still friends at the end of the day. We have so much more in common than not. We are so complex as humans, and the number of separate beliefs we have about various things numbers in the hundreds, maybe thousands. Mathematically thats a lot of combinations possible! I may be very much the minority in my belief of no free will, but that's okay with me, since I've always been a bit weird. geek/
I do love you all!
