Were you taught all that in college?
nope, people like you taught me these things. I'm spectacularly surprised you've chosen to not address any of it, btw - Flabbergasted even... flabbergasted!Were you taught all that in college?
You gonna blame your error doctrines on "people like me" now?nope, people like you taught me these things.
....soooo..... not a bible literalist then? you don't believe the Amalakites were utterly destroyed, right down to every man, woman, child and infant, and beasts too? How about Jeptha and his sacrificed daughter? How about the Midianite virgin girls kept for the soldiers as war prizes after their midianite families, parents, brothers, and non-virgin sisters had been slaughtered before them?You gonna blame your error doctrines on "people like me" now?
You made a whole wall of text of things I don't believe either ... let along teach.
Show me all those things in Genesis 1.....soooo..... not a bible literalist then? you don't believe the Amalakites were utterly destroyed, right down to every man, woman, child and infant, and beasts too? How about Jeptha and his sacrificed daughter? How about the Midianite virgin girls kept for the soldiers as war prizes after their midianite families, parents, brothers, and non-virgin sisters had been slaughtered before them?
so the rest of the Bible doesn't count then?Show me all those things in Genesis 1.
Are you familiar with the title of this thread?so the rest of the Bible doesn't count then?![]()
Sure, there's some thermonuclear weapons-grade dodging going on right there... expected as it is, it's still very impressive to see in action.Are you familiar with the title of this thread?
Kinda like setting up a wall of text that misrepresents what someone believes, isn't it?Sure, there's some thermonuclear weapons-grade dodging going on right there... expected as it is, it's still very impressive to see in action.
Well, There's a clear case of the Pot calling the silverware black... feel free to address my misrepresentation of what you believe anytime you're feeling up to it, AV.Kinda like setting up a wall of text that misrepresents what someone believes, isn't it?
Better yet, anytime YOU feel up to it, feel free to peruse my 3,800,589* posts and find my refutations to each part of that wall of text of yours.Well, There's a clear case of the Pot calling the silverware black... feel free to address my misrepresentation of what you believe anytime you're feeling up to it, AV.
You have tried to mix the Bible with what natural man has produced through science.
And have failed to see man has Idolized Science. Science has become an Idol in their heart.
The way to truth has now become by Science, not the Scriptures. Man has an Idol in his heart that has made him go astray.
Now, you are presenting mixture - a combination of Naturalism with Genesis 1 and 2. A Doctrine. And now teaching such Doctrine that is not Spirit nor Christ centered.
The Doctrine is "Creation Week" centered.
Mere Doctrine presented. Weird Doctrine. Not of the Spirit and Word. But from the Tree of Knowledge and Idolized Science.
How is 'faith' not entirely deceptive? What position couldn't one take by 'faith'?
Could it be that you have mistaken maturity for age?also mean like a religion that would have you believe in the trickster God that created the world young making it look incredibly and perfectly old, complete with a history it never had,
You don't have to make yourself believe. Faith is a gift from God.I also mean like a religion that would have you worship a deity on no evidence and punish you for an eternity if you can't make yourself believe in it anyway as if belief was a choice,
Faith healers is a myth. If you blame Christians for believing in faith healers do you, as a non-believer, accept blame as a pedophile?I also mean like a religion that fools people into thinking faith healing is real and that it's acceptable to withhold evidence based medicine for your children in lieu,
I value critical thinking and science based on empirical evidence.I also mean like a religion that demands its adherents to forego critical thinking and evidence based science to protect a belief that has no basis in reality,
Those who think they can legislate the dogma of one religion are no better than ISIS.especially when such adherents move to enact laws that force their belief onto others that don't accept them because of all the evidence against such a belief,
God is all good all the time.I also mean like a religion that everything its God does or commands is somehow good,
He doesn't do that.no matter what - infanticide, genocide, child sacrifice, rape and pillage, etc.
Bug's had this stuff explained to him more times than Carter has liver pills.He doesn't do that.
I looked, couldn't find any refutations, let alone refutations aimed at me - you'll have to point it out.Better yet, anytime YOU feel up to it, feel free to peruse my 3,800,589* posts and find my refutations to each part of that wall of text of yours.
And if you're observant, maybe you'll see one of those refutations being addressed to YOU?
I'm not gonna refute your [what are now] lies everytime you post them.
* And do hurry ... my post count isn't going to stay this low for long.
You are deluded if you think any of your blather is on point - after all, the Jews have faith, the Muslims have faith, the Hindus have faith, the Mormons have faith, the Scientologists have faith, the Sumerians had faith, the Zoroastrians had faith, the Sun worshippers had faith, etc. You all have faith and you all claim to be right. Until you can *Demonstrate* your faith to be any different, you have the same value proposition they have - and that's None.Faith is the EVIDENCE of things not seen...by unbelievers. Christians can see them but it's because they have been born Spiritually unlike those who wish to remain dead to God. I present evidence daily which NO atheist agnostic nor unregenerated heathen can refute. It's foolishness to them but to those who will be alive a million years from now, it's life. Amen?
Bug's had this stuff explained to him more times than Carter has liver pills.
He ridicules it ... then goes to another thread and starts it all over again.
Would maturity show a history, like scars from events long, long ago that never happened? entire forests and life forms living, growing, dying and compacting as further layers of forest repeat the process over long periods? Salt layers formed by repeated oceanic ingress and evaporation over millions of years? Gooseneck river Erosion formations that could only happen over millions of years?Could it be that you have mistaken maturity for age?
So if I'm yet to have faith, it's God's will?You don't have to make yourself believe. Faith is a gift from God.
Well, I can't wait to see the connection to me not believing in a God that has no evidence, and pedophiles - and so we're clear, "faith" is something that is expressly and highly coveted by religions of all types, especially Christianity - so when "Faith Healers" come to town praising the Lord and "laying on hands" in biblical fashion, then I certainly see fault in the religion (not the religious) for culturing that dangerous gaffe in critical thinking, leading Christians to these false beliefs.Faith healers is a myth. If you blame Christians for believing in faith healers do you, as a non-believer, accept blame as a pedophile?
well, Great!I value critical thinking and science based on empirical evidence.
Agreed.Those who think they can legislate the dogma of one religion are no better than ISIS.
God is all good all the time.
He doesn't do that.
Nice insult, AV - In true Christian form, you even have a verse from your Holy Text to justify your divinely inspired insular condescension... you'll likely find any time I've had this discussion with anyone (including you), my questions have eventually gone unanswered.Bug's had this stuff explained to him more times than Carter has liver pills.
He ridicules it ... then goes to another thread and starts it all over again.
I've coined a word for those who fulfill this passage ...
Matthew 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
That word is Suskind.
It is a portmanteau of SUS (swine) and KIND (genus).
SUS is the genus of the swine.
....soooo..... not a bible literalist then? you don't believe the Amalakites were utterly destroyed, right down to every man, woman, child and infant, and beasts too? How about Jeptha and his sacrificed daughter?

You certainly work hard to get it.Nice insult, AV - In true Christian form, you even have a verse from your Holy Text to justify your divinely inspired insular condescension...
"Eventually" being the key word?Bugeyedcreepy said:... you'll likely find any time I've had this discussion with anyone (including you), my questions have eventually gone unanswered.
I'm sure you don't.Bugeyedcreepy said:Anyway, I don't mind either of you answering this that I posted earlier then,
