But at the risk of repeating myself, can somebody translate those "words to live by" into English?

On second thought, forget that question.

I think he's confusing abstract concepts with actual objects.

Most of Gordo's "philosophical" works reduce to "Stuff.  Therefore Jesus."

From KF:
Quote
Though this is not a thread about theology much less exegesis, and this blog is not about theology, it is worth a pause to give some balance. In C1, the Sadducees and Pharisees had disputes on the matter:

He posted the above less than 24 hours after posting an OP on this blog that is not about theology:

God as a necessary, maximally great, endless being vs. the challenge to an actual infinity

KF,

You remind me of me when I couldn’t see through my blindness…

BTW: Would you burn your kids alive, if they disobeyed you?

Isn’t J-Mac an ID proponent? He has been beating up on KF for the last couple weeks.

He's one of the more annoying ID proponants.  His comment seems to have gone down the memory hole.  The first comment is now

I’m guessing that J-Mac’s comment was in jest (or meant ironically). Do you know who George Costanza is?

Anyone who has bothered to read the OT knows you don't burn your kids alive.

You drown them.

Then when they are dead you burn them.

Forever.


(this is what a necessary, maximally great, endless being does anyway)

That thread just gets better and better.  KF contrasts the Wikipedia entry on ID with The New World Encyclopedia's longer and much more flattering ID entry and approves the latter without mentioning that the N.W.E. is a Moony publication, started by the Reverend Sun Myung Moon, who believed he was Jesus Christ on the Second Coming.  (Moon probably doesn't believe that any more, since he's dead.)

Then J-Mac wows the crowd by revealing that he doesn't believe that the soul is immortal.  KF reminds him, "JM, you raise an old debate. Though this is not a thread about theology much less exegesis, and this blog is not about theology, it is worth a pause to give some balance. In C1, the Sadducees and Pharisees had disputes on the matter:" and goes on with a bit of exegesis and theology, complete with Bible quotes.

J-Mac replies with  
Quote
True… which you and many others have never been able to to provide sound and logical evidence for your calims to be true…

You claims insult the God of justice but that is not my judgment… thank God…

Have a nice life!
, thus keeping his entry alive in the "I'm a bigger asshole than Mung" contest.

This leads KF to haul out the heavy heavenly artillery and reply with a big fat

        LEWONTIN!

Then .... Holy Shit!  It's the J-Mac quote that started this whole thing:

I seem to have completely mis-understood this this thread, which is still more evidence that Darwin's edifice is crumbling under ID's relentless attack.  Mea culpa!

J-Mac goes on with, "Kf can’t answer this challenge @18 because it violates the the very principles of his real faith…", KF replies with, "JM, have you stopped beating your wife?" and goes on to soar to intellectual heights only attainable by someone who has spent a LOT of time standing out in the tropical sun:

PS: While again this is not a theology forum or thread, it seems a balancing pointer or two will be helpful for those inclined to follow up seriously in appropriate fora. If you are making a twisted and somewhat erroneous Internet gnu atheist style allusion to OT law against incorrigible juvenile delinquents [in an era without police forces etc], you should know that OT case law and civil codes or ceremonial rules and traditions have been understood for 2,000 years as not relevant. Kindly read the report of the AD 49 Jerusalem Council in Ac 15, and note how it affects Alfred’s Book of Dooms — a significant root of the common law tradition. Note too how the decalogue is understood i/l/o the neighbour love principle in say Rom 13:8 – 10.

PPS: Kindly, read the OP to see what is focal for this thread. False accusations running amok can easily destroy reputations, careers, families, lives. The current one on sexual harassment claims for example seems to have had at least two suicides so far, both apparently of men who despaired of being able to defend their innocence in a climate of multiple unsupported accusation is tantamount to proof. The Wiki case that has been headlined above, shows how incorrigible malice can come to dominate a major reference institution that millions naively turn to for what they imagine is a credible account. I hope we don’t end up with someone feeling he has nothing left to lose and applying rule 303 to journalists, but that is a predictable consequence of weaponised accusations run amok. Of course, should that happen, it will lead to doubling down. Yet another sign of how our civilisation is heading over the cliff in a march of utterly ruinous folly.

PPPS: Running off on irrelevant tangents and attempted thread-jacking through such, is a sign of trollishness. UD’s management has a short way with trolls. There is enough of substance to discuss within UD’s ambit without resort to atmosphere poisoning tactics. I also add that in my present condition and with the things on my table locally, I do not have a lot of time or energy to spend on moderating threads.


The thread just gets better from there, with insults, invitations to leave the thread issued to J-Mac, a recapitulation of the whole Wiki vs N.W.E. affair, a visit from rvb8 with quotations from Phillip E. Johnson on what ID really is and much, much more.

I'd quote some more, but I have to go and repent now.

I was watching a documentary on the ranting of Charles Manson at the same time I was reading that thread. The similarity between The rants of Manson and KF is scary. They both firmly believe that their word views are correct, and that serious action must be taken to get us back on course. I’m glad I don’t live on Montserrat.

“Yes, and as an example of His omniscience, God knows every digit in the decimal expansion of ?. I don’t know how ME or anyone could deny that implies God is infinite.”

Its actually quite easy Dave…when you stop thinking of it in human terms. God does not access a knowledge of decimal expansion of anything. He determines what it is.

there are no infinite possibilities “out there”. there are no possibilities till he determines them. KF is wrong. God can create a square circle if he wishes. there are no inherently contradictory core characteristics with it because God determines whats inherent to ANY construct.

If tomorrow God determines that a square is a circle then that will be what it is (even if it requires several more dimensions). God is a Spirit – shape , size dimensions. angles (all which determine whats a circle and whats a square) are all his creations that he created by command where none existed before. So he solely determines the bounds of contradictions because he is the only true bound.

Is very hard for us to grasp a being that completely exists to himself and from which ALL things flow including knowledge, time and physical dimensions. We are used to and surrounded by things that are not ours that we have to access or modify or that hinder us.

So God is not sitting in heaven accessing an infinite storage of the expansion of any human mathematical term so he can give you an answer he draws from his memory. He is above and beyond that. he’ll tell you once what it is and that will be what it is.

This is what the old theologians used to understand of God in the word Sovereign. Nothing exists outside of himself and his decree not even the placement of a decimal

God IS limited……. by and to himself. he will never go outside of himself, think a different thought that is not not his, learn anything new. he will never access any more power than he already has because power does not exist that he does not now already hold. he cannot lie, he cannot become evil and he cannot change – all limits but great ones to have.

To put it more succinctly God does not possess infinite power. He is power. The only power that ultimately exists. So its meaningless to talk about infinitely powerful when there is only one power and its defined by the authority of one entity. Its not meaningless to say all powerful because it highlights he has it all – no one else has any real power.

God is all about authority and all authority is not infinite. its set at one unchangeable constant – all.


they're sciencing SO HARD at UD these days.

Rant? That's not a rant, it's an opera! He's like the Gaulin of fishing reels.
Dear JC on a Seadoo he's dealing with some serious demons.
Can someone please tell KF you don't fish with a diagram ffs. If you really want one just put your hand in your pathetically shallow pockets and just buy it. Besides my ancient Penn baitcaster has probably caught more decent Mangroves Jacks than he's ever dreamed of. Look at the shiny expensive luxury consumer product and therefore desirable to a third world inhabitant so "therefore god exists" has to be the stupidest argument for the existence of a bronze age deity yet.
Gordo should spend more time with a worm on the end of his rod instead of worming away on a keyboard. What a hopeless waste fishing time.
