Matthew 7:22
But I say unto you, that whosoever is angry with his brother without cause shall be in danger of the judgement: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

I am glad you asked that. Notice that David tells us that " The fool has said in his heart: "There is no God."

True understanding is not a product of the mind, it is seated in the heart.

True ignorance is a matter of the heart, not the mind.

God is interested in our heart. It is His desire to give us a new heart. He wants to do a work in our heart.

Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

I assume we all understand that the heart is a metaphor for emotions or feelings, despite the bible verse about a heart of flesh.

Unless someone wants to argue that the heart has the ability to help us reason in addition to its job of pumping blood! Heart transplants might be hard to explain then! Hey, do you think a Christian who receives the heart of an atheist becomes an atheist? LOL!

Anyway, is your argument that understanding is not achieved through the intellect, but strictly through emotions? Bad plan, IMO.

Of course, you aren't his brother, so he can point out foolisness all he wants. There is also such a thing as Righteous Anger.

Har-har. Hilarious.

No really.

That was great. 

The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God."

The wise man has said it out loud.

Don't you guys realize that quoting Bible passages to athiests means absolutely nothing to us.  It's not a convincing rebuttal or arguement in the least.

Well then, what is it a guide for? Even the bibles moral teachings contradict each other.

They contradict and they don't contradict. You(textual) and I(spiritual) are both right.

Thats a different thread though, so, carry on.

Yes textually they "might". Spiritually they don't. Once again. Be a good guy Neo. Start a new thread.

Can you define "spiritually"?

The fool parrots simplistic sayings he has been handed.

 The wise man thinks for himself and explains his reasoning that others might understand his position.

Oh, Science makes a lot of observations. But their understanding of what they are observing, is foolishness if God is not a part of it.

LOL give me a break.

JohnR7: That means that before someone is a Christian, they are unloving, uncaring, without feelings toward others.

Amazing. Here I thought I was loving, caring, and empathetic, but apparently I'm not! It's a good thing John's magic knows more about me than I do!

No, science would be foolishness if God was a part of it. It would cease to be science.

Is science foolishness for dismissing lightening as something of a divine origin even though we know how it can occur naturally? Do we really need to attribute lightening to a god like some classical civilizations in order for science not to be foolish?
