Defender- Chase

Naturalism's Ontological Collapse 1. Agreement is an act. 2. All acts are concepts. 3. In naturalism, concepts exist only as brain states—epiphenomena of atoms in motion.

@darwintojesus This discussion goes into the topic quite deeply in the differences in Ancestral Sin vs Original Sin and Sheol vs Hedes youtube.com/live/mIpJyAE8j…

@darwintojesus Too many misconstru what has been revealed for what God hates. Hating people ≠ Hating sin When God judges, the sin is destroyed. The person encounters Christ and whether they have love for Him will determine how His Love is received.

Weird because God actually tells me I’m supposed to love the people I naturally want to hate.

@blessedmikko @AL_J82 You're Wrong again! Where are you getting your teaching about Orthodoxy from? Because what I'm saying isn't new! It's pretty much standard Orthodox teaching that most get in mainstream world canonical Orthodoxy.

@persiex2000 @ByJimbob @StefanMolyneux Also where is the empirical evidence for "surviva/lifel" exists?

@persiex2000 @ByJimbob @StefanMolyneux Provide the empirical evidence that "love" resides in "Brains".

Please make the case that non-material things exist without using matter. It’s impossible, of course. That is your answer, if you want it.

@persiex2000 @ByJimbob @StefanMolyneux When you're reminiscing on the love of X, are you predicting on matter?

@ByJimbob @StefanMolyneux All of that reduces to predicting what matter will do. Our material brains make certain neural connections that reinforce themselves when they produce an outcome our brains “like.” Our brains like finding patterns. This is all material.

@AlwaysWrightDM @darwintojesus Again with the deflection

@chkrosp @darwintojesus "You have a burden to prove that active claims have the burden of proof" Thank you for helping me.

I’ve never seen an atheist actually prove this, they just say it. Make an argument.

@AlwaysWrightDM @darwintojesus Restating the assertion is not proving that neutrality exists.

@chkrosp @darwintojesus You do not know about an idea- do you believe it, or not? You do not. "Not believing it" is everyone's neutral state about everything. To make this require evidence is ridiculous to the extreme.

@AlwaysWrightDM @darwintojesus Provide the proof that there is an objective neutral state? Ie What is the ontology of neutrality itself? Secondarily, epistemic starting positions are a choice, atheist cannot justify choices actually exist either.

The burden of proof is always on an active claim. Disbelief is the neutral state. You actively claim God exists. We disbelieve. You've had this argument made thousands of times to you and you ignore it. The reason the active claim has the burden of proof is to avoid everyone from having to disprove everything every theorized.

@kepilar77 @AlexTheStrait @LyingWrongAgain @darwintojesus All inferences are illusory, not based in facts. Ie the self defeat of naturalism itself.

@AlexTheStrait @LyingWrongAgain @darwintojesus it’s an inference to the best explanation. If a natural explanation works, adding intent is unnecessary unless you can show it adds explanatory value.

@darwintojesus suggested I write about The Fine Tuning Argument ⚙️ I think what I wrote ended up being pretty devastating for The Fine Tuning Argument 💥 Is it? Link below 🔗👇

@kepilar77 @AlexTheStrait @LyingWrongAgain @darwintojesus Great philosophical rigor Alex, keep it up. Kep you're wrong

@AlexTheStrait @LyingWrongAgain @darwintojesus Nope - naturalism has no bias - it’s really just methodological restraint. It doesn’t claim intent or no intent.

@darwintojesus @LyingWrongAgain Why do you grant Atheist access to the transcendentals? If they can't overcome TAG they can't justify any argument, including FTA.

I challenged @LyingWrongAgain to write something serious refuting the fine tuning argument and promised I'd write a response. He took a lot of time on this, I think he did a great job and this is definitely worth addressing. How do you think he did?

@LifeThe785 Remember. Grief came to you, my friend, because love came first. Love came first."

@LifeThe785 She is not the monster you first thought her to be. She is love. And she will walk with you now, stay with you now, peacefully. If you let her. And on the days when your anger is high, remember why she came, remember who she represents.

Parental alienation is not just conflict. It is conditioning. A child’s nervous system learns who is safe by repetition, reward, and authority. When fear is reinforced, fear deepens. When rejection is rewarded, rejection hardens. When distance is treated like safety, attachment begins to break. This is not only emotional damage. It is nervous-system damage. Part 1 of 3.

@wordsofthislife “For the *law* of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death.” Romans 8:2

You have seen the icon of Saint George. Behind the horse there is a small rider. Have you noticed him? Do you know who this little one is? The Turks had taken this little boy captive. And on the feast day of Saint George, he remembered what used to happen in his home on that day. His father’s name was George. His village had Saint George as its patron saint and celebrated a festival on that day. And he was in captivity… A Turkish agha had him, having taken him as a servant. In the icon of Saint George, he is shown holding a clay vessel, with which he had gone to fetch water to pour so that his master could wash. And he was crying there at the fountain where he had gone to draw water, and he begged Saint George—whose feast his village was celebrating that day, and whose name day his father was celebrating—to remember him as well. And as he was drawing water, he saw beside him a rider on a white horse calling out his name. I do not remember what his name was. And Saint George said to him: “Come up here onto the horse!” And he lifted him up onto his horse, and they disappeared… and within a few minutes he was in his village, and he set him down in the courtyard of his home, so that he could celebrate with his father and celebrate Saint George in his village!
