  RICKEY, YOU HAVE YET TO ADDRESS MY UPDATE TO THE FIG TREE, OTHER THAN FOR YOU TO RUN AWAY FROM IT AND HIDE!!!  

  THE VERSE IN QUESTION AGAIN: “Early in the morning, as Jesus was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, “May you never bear fruit again!” Immediately the tree withered.” When the disciples saw this, they were amazed. “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?” they asked. Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done. ” (Matthew 21:18-21)
  

  AGAIN, shown above literally Jesus "withered" the Fig Tree is in real time, and he said to his disciples that they could "wither" the Fig Tree too if they had faith and no doubt, therefore there is absolutely no parabolic notion to this revealing verse whatsoever shown above in context, especially when Jesus' disciples said; "How did the Fig Tree wither so fast," which does not relate to parabolic inferences, and especially relating to your  laughable apologetic spin doctoring dissertation that you copied and pasted as shown in the link below, GET IT YET BIBLE DUMMY?https://www.debateisland.com/discussion/comment/180507/#Comment_180507

  
  

  RICKEY, DON'T YOU REALIZE THAT JESUS IS WATCHING YOU RUN AWAY IN NOT DEFENDING THIS VERSE ABOVE IN THE CONTEXT THAT I GAVE YOU?

   "Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account." (Hebrews 4:13)
  

  
  

  JESUS SAYS YOU ARE TO DEFEND THE FAITH, BUT ALL YOU CAN DO IS POST "IRRELATIVE" SCRIPTURE TO THE SPECIFIC POSTS DIRECTED TO YOU!

  "We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ," (2 Corinthians 10:5) 

  
  

  
  

  
  

  HOW EMBARRASSING THAT YOU HAD TO PUT "FACTDENIER" ON MUTE LIKE YOU SAID, IS IT BECAUSE HE OUTRIGHT OWNS YOUR BIBLE STU-PIDITY LIKE I EASILY DO?  HUH? https://www.debateisland.com/discussion/comment/180588/#Comment_180588

  That's a pretty neat approach to life and sounds like a lot of fun.
  
  Are there any issues you've totally moved position on on account of your encounters?
  
  I used to believe in objective morality but not now  likewise free will which I believe is illusory also my views are more nihilistic than previously but nihilistic in a positive sense as the term is normally associated in a negative way.
  
  I guess we all have core values which seem set unless a very convincing challenge shakes our world view, the discovery of Hume and Nietzsche did that for me.

  I cannot think of anything that I did a 180 degree turn on (at least, not over a short period of time) - but many of my positions definitely have become a lot more nuanced. Generally, I have gained appreciation for just how much I do not know, as well as humility in individual comparisons (people who I used to think of as simpletons due to their background or career I now think of as experts in other areas of life).

  I have also learned that our brains are very messy and we are subjected to all kinds of conscious and subconscious biases. Literally, having slept last night 3 hours less than usual can lead to a different house purchase decision. Leveraging these biases and making them work for us, plus creating perfect circumstances for that (such as having a good night sleep before an important event), is the key component to succeeding in life.

  
  

  On the topic of morality, I think that it is a nice model, a tool allowing us to streamline our decision-making. Having a set of prescriptions applicable to a wide array of situations is convenient, better than analyzing every situation from scratch. But since every individual develops his own set of prescriptions (as long as he actually acquires his own moral system and does not just copy-paste it from somewhere), the prescriptions are going to be intrinsically subjective. There could be a degree of objectivity to it, in the sense that some moral prescriptions are extremely impractical no matter who develops them - but it is also true that some prescriptions work better for some people, and worse for others.
  

  
  

  I guess the only moral directive that I universally apply to everyone is the "voluntary interaction" one. The problem with coercion is that it breaks the "game": when everyone interacts with each other voluntarily, then moral systems clash and compete - but when someone puts a gun to your head and says, "Do what I say, or die", then we are not talking about fair competition any more. Part of me, I guess, believes in some fundamental concept of fairness (why, I do not know; it is something to untangle in one of those hard conversations, I suppose), so when someone wants to shortcut the competition and jump straight to the prize, my spirit rebels against it.

  But then, another part of me finds the romanticized image of pirates appealing: "Pillage and plunder, live free and drink rum!" This is complicated.

  Elohim's ways are foreign to the atheist because they belong to Satan.
  
  I agree, elohims ways did originate with Satan. That's why your god is so evil.

  There is no other Way for a man or woman to find life, purpose, meaning, substance, in this World or in the World to come lest they humble them self before the Father and trust in Jesus as Messiah for the atonement of sin, the receiving of the Holy Spirit and His guidance through the anointing. Only Christianity offers life.
  
  Case in point @MayCaesar. No rationale as to why they believe. Just the bible says and he wants to go to heaven. Not matter the absurdity of the fantasy.
