Well, I was thinking not a few members starts thread on “Bible Study”, and am very thankful as I can learn a lot from them.
I can’t start a thread on that, since am not a Bible Teacher.
But am thinking if I can post from time to time on topic: “Logical Argument”.
My purpose or intention:
I think yes:
"ARGUMENT" definition no. 1: is simply to reason, a statement of belief:
While definition no. 2: we are advice to avoid it. so we stick to definition no. 1.. thus, am not “ARGUING” just presenting the “ARGUMENT”
Definition of "ARGUMENT"
1.A fact or statement used to support a proposition; a reason.
2.A verbal dispute; a quarrel.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/argument
while "LOGIC" I believe this link agrees that have it has a place, with Biblical verses to support.

First Topic: (1) Using Root Word/s to define a word or a name.
I read in one thread (and I can’t find that thread now) that a word or a name is being defined by its root word.
I think we need to be careful to do that: to define a word, with its root word.
Reason:
People in the ancient times assign a TERM to a physical thing or an idea based on
- the PREVAILING thoughts at that TIME.
- *there can be unknown, personal reasons that we can no longer verify: such as the reason why our parent gave us our names
And that prevailing thoughts at that time can be wrong.
Say, THURSDAY root word is Thor’s day, that is: the prevailing culture or political system at that time assigned that term to that day.
But Thursday is definitely not a day for a man made god.
Say HUMILITY: people in ancient times may* refer it to LOWNESS, to EARTH, to GROUND, for what reason that we can only assume*: ground is lower than the air, the space, or the skies or clouds above..
But we Christian believes we are made from the earth, from the DUST, thus, it makes sense.
I can’t start a thread on that, since am not a Bible Teacher.
But am thinking if I can post from time to time on topic: “Logical Argument”.
My purpose or intention:
- well, I just like to start one
- For my own education as well as hopefully to others who are interested.
- An opportunity to direct in this thread instead, a clarification or a question on some post that I think is not logical. So as the discussion, additional lengthy pages will be here, instead of in that thread , so as not to "hijack" that thread. And hopefully, since Logic follow some rules, the issue will be discuss here following the rules of logic.
