How am I boxing in God? Because I'm saying that objections to Him existing that present illogical scenarios are invalid? You are basically arguing...
What does it matter if there is an objective standard for God? I am not arguing for one, except that God must be the maximally great being....
No? Who holds to the idea that God can change who He is? It is logically inconsistent, and akin to asking "Could God create a rock so big that He...
Because the agent I am arguing for isn't any specific God. Yes I believe that it is the Christian God, but whatever God it is makes no difference...
Is this a form of the Euthyphro dilemma? In other words, is something good because God says it is or is something good because of some other...
No I am not. Once again, as I tried to explicitly say in the post that you replied to, belief or a lack of belief in God does not necessarily have...
Sorry I accidently hit submit. I think these actions are always good or bad, even if we would have evolved differently. On the view presented in...

What I was trying to convey by saying that the Gospels of the New Testament are reliable is that you can gleam what you said you believe about a...
I was trying to say that God values your free will, as in He values the fact that you have free will. Yes He gave it to you, and He doesn't want...
Well for starters, those other Gospels were written much later than the Gospels of the New Testament. This gives more time for legend to creep in....
The problem of evil is by far the best argument against the existence of God, and I'm guessing is why many people do not believe. There are ways...
Well this is going to sound weird to some people but oh well. I personally believe God requires belief in Him, not for some arbitrary reason,...
There may not have been a unified agreement as far as a council meeting and a formal decision, but the letters of our New Testament are the same...
Which is what I said. However, the early church recognized the letters that are in our New Testament as genuine, even though they were not...
