Yes, it does matter. I'm allowed to have some sway over who I owe allegiance to.

I'm reminded of a line from the new Robin Hood film.

Robin Longstride: If you're building for the future, you need to keep your foundations strong, laws of the land enslave the people to a king who demands loyalty but offers nothing in return, I've been to the South of France, Palestine and back, you build a kingdom the same way you build a cathedral from the ground up!

Why should I owe loyalty to someone who gives me nothing? Why should I obey someone who so willingly slaughters innocents.

I'm not. You are by stating everything that proves you wrong is a fallacious argument. Who taught you that word...?

What you're saying is incompatible with the bible.

1 John 3:19-20 wrote:By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him; for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything.



Isaiah 46:9 wrote: I am God, and there is none like me,
declaring the end from the beginning
and from ancient times things not yet done.

He knows what'll happen long, LONG in advance. Almost as if he knows everything that will happen.

Psalm 139:4 wrote:Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O LORD, you know it altogether.

This one's a little more specific,

For that matter, where was he when the serpent was convincing Eve to eat the fruit of the knowledge good and evil? Clearly on omnipresent if he wasn't there. Clearly not omniscient if he didn't know if. Or clearly not omnibenevolent if he did nothing and knew.

Does God know or does He not know that a certain individual will be good or bad? If thou sayest 'He knows', then it necessarily follows that [that] man is compelled to act as God knew beforehand he would act, otherwise God's knowledge would be imperfect.…"

No, I'm not. You have no rebuttal and thus must yell "LOGICAL FALLACY!". Which logical fallacy is it? What I said logically follows.

Vazdania wrote:Ive come to debate and again you make an fallacious argument ad hominum and I do so because the majority of you do so to illogically prove points

Which logical fallacy?

Contrary to the propaganda, we live in probably the least materialistic culture in history. If we cared about the things of the world, we would treat them quite differently. We would be concerned with their materiality. We would be interested in their beginnings and their ends, before and after they left our grasp.

It isn't an ad hominum, its an observation. Countless times I've seen you completely dismiss or ignore points made by your opponents.
Pointing out that you are blind to any view except your view is not a fallacy, it is a fact.

Are you ever going to declare which logical fallacy I committed or just say "fallacious argument" every single way without explaining how?

'cause if you go Route #2, I'll just censor "fallacious argument" to "I concede" and you won't even be able to trade your abra for a Mr. Mime. Wait, what?

Sounds all knowing to me.

One can infer from context that it refers to current things, given the condemnation of the heart is a current thing.

It is not necessarily inferring future things.
