Theology 201 Guidelines
This is the forum to discuss the spectrum of views within Christianity on God's foreknowledge and election such as Calvinism, Arminianism, Molinism, Open Theism, Process Theism, Restrictivism, and Inclusivism, Christian Universalism and what these all are about anyway. Who is saved and when is/was their salvation certain? How does God exercise His sovereignty and how powerful is He? Is God timeless and immutable? Does a triune God help better understand God's love for mankind?
While this area is for the discussion of these doctrines within historic Christianity, all theists interested in discussing these areas within the presuppositions of and respect for the Christian framework are welcome to participate here. This is not the area for debate between nontheists and theists, additionally, there may be some topics that within the Moderator's discretion fall so outside the bounds of mainstream evangelical doctrine that may be more appropriately placed within Comparative Religions 101 Nontheists seeking only theistic participation only in a manner that does not seek to undermine the faith of others are also welcome - but we ask that Moderator approval be obtained beforehand.
Atheists are welcome to discuss and debate these issues in the Apologetics 301 or General Theistics 101 forum without such restrictions. Theists who wish to discuss these issues outside the parameters of orthodox Christian doctrine are invited to Unorthodox Theology 201.
Remember, our forum rules apply here as well. If you haven't read them now would be a good time.

I recommend you do not try too hard and ...research as little as possible. Such weighty things give me a headache. - Shunyadragon, Baha'i apologist

Originally posted by Rational Gaze View PostThe more concerning thing, I think, is how he's basically denying the human nature of Christ as, in orthodox theology and belief, Christ had two natures, a divine nature and a human nature. Humans experience desires, even sexual ones. The Bible is quite clear that Jesus experienced temptation. He just didn't give into it.

Also as Jed said, you're immature. I really don't have patience or time for that kind of arrogance.A happy family is but an earlier heaven.

Originally posted by Catholicity View PostThat is an example of blatant dishonesty.
You deliberately ignored a number of my personal posts to you regarding human physiology and biological response on the subject, and you also deliberately refused to explain how if Jesus was 100 percent human, that physiological responses to stimuli would not have happened or if they did why they would or would not be considered sinless given that the human body was functioning as is before the fall. However since you cannot answer that with adequate evidence you gave a piece of "fanfiction" that you claimed was as valuable as what Moses wrote thus flirting with giving yourself the status of "bible writer" You're walking some dangerous and heretical ground by 1) refusing to acknowledge humanity of Jesus and 2) promoting an ability to make your own writing equal to Moses.
Also as Jed said, you're immature. I really don't have patience or time for that kind of arrogance.
And just for fun, you're immature.

What stimuli? Unfallen humans are stimulated or not stimulated by different things than us fallen ones. I never said my writing was equal to Moses'. But I suppose that's possible, isn't it? Depends on whether I am being led by the Spirit of God. Your writing could be equal to Moses' too under such circumstances. Probably not, though, since you're wrong.
And just for fun, you're immature.
