Don't insult me like this, please. It's trivial to overturn. I'm sure you can do better. Despite the arrogance leaking from your second sentence.

This changes literally nothing of my point. Nothing. If this world was all we needed to know God, as your selection of verses implies, then the argument proving God's existence from the evidence of nature would actually work. It would have worked centuries ago. I'm not stupid, SkyWriting, I...

Okay, let me expand. So, first of all, what do I mean by "bad parents"? Obviously, as Martinius' post showed me, we have Very different interpretations of the idea of bad parenting. Let me give an example of what I'm talking about. Suppose there was a couple. A Christian father and a mother...

By the way, Are You Kidding Me?! Pleas tell me I misunderstood you when you said, "Scripture claims we don't need the Bible to know God". What? How else would you know Him? He has revealed Himself In The Bible! Where else would you get your knowledge of Him? Please, please explain this to me.

Ted_Kaz and SkyWriting: I respectfully request that if you want your views and your interpretations of Scripture and the Lord to move either me or Francis, you provide yourselves with some actual foundations. So far, neither one of you have given any serious objections to Francis Drake's...

As I'm sure we're all aware, there are a ton of crap parents out there. A lot of people who treat their kids like trash or abandon them. As Christians, especially as Christians who have parents like that, how do we follow the Lord's commandment to honor our father and mother? What does it mean...

Okay, come on. That was uncalled for. I have not seen any signs that Francis Drake just wants to be right. If that were true, you wouldn't be able to reason with him at all. And he hasn't called you names or been demeaning(so far as I've seen) so what you said was seriously uncalled for. Please...

Okay, so correct me if I'm misunderstanding you, but part of what I got from what you just said is that if we were to use the death penalty, it would be humane to use more instantaneous methods, to ensure the least amount of suffering possible. Was that accurate? The reason I ask is because it...

First, to 2PhiloVoid, you didn't bother me at all. I was just happy to have people who would actually discuss this with themselves and me, so yeah, you're good. Second, to most others on this thread, I can readily understand why certain interpretations of the Scriptures seem pretty clear. I...

I can understand how law is flawed enough for a.situation like what you just stated to occur. The law of this land is made by humans, who are fallible and fundamentally flawed. Evil and wickedness pervert what we do and why. That's why I keep bringing up Scripture, which was made by God, who is...

While I agree that whoever administered the drugs should've been more careful to do right (sincerely), this issue brings up a serious question which has been discussed somewhat. What does a murderer deserve? While it may appear that this is what we've been talking about the whole time(and if...

Personally, I wasn't trying to imply that this would be a quick and easy answer. You're right that there are a lot of questions we'd have to work through first before we came to any kind of conclusion. But those issues are worth exploring, aren't they? Each exploration, if we're careful, can...

Okay, this is going way better than the conversation I'm having elsewhere!! So glad! Alright, so to summarize: everybody knows that our Lord commanded us to kill a murderer should he/she be proven guilty, but that was in the Old Testament, right? Yet in the New Testament, God sends down His...

If you don't mind, I'll ask a quick question: There have been many occasions in this thread where you have responded to my arguments from Scripture with either objections from the Bible or arguments of your own from the same source. So, was it merely that certain aspects of the Bible fit your...

I'm actually having this conversation on another thread. But the person I'm mainly debating with is, unfortunately, an Atheist, and thus far we clash on every point. So, while I'm continuing that conversation with him, I'm also turning to my brothers and sisters in the faith. What do you guys...

My argument has nothing to do with whether or not society is protected from murderers by max security prisons. Which aren't much of a deterrent themselves, by the way. And if you read my argument, you haven't given much in the way of objections, so if you have them, by all means let me hear...

And once more we reach a stalemate, insomuch as neither of us have managed to convince the other and we both remain pretty solid on our own beliefs. I ask you, how else am I going to respond to your arguments? I am a Baptist Christian, you are an Atheist. I give you arguments from Scripture, you...

Okay now we're getting somewhere! :) I would argue that it all depends on if the movie was intended to be a parallel of Scripture. If it was, I'd imagine that Christians would hold the movie to a pretty high standard of faithfulness to the spirit of whatever story they're trying to retell. If...

:nomouth: Okay....I mean, fantasy's my usual favorite genre, so I guess my type would be the knight seeking out a heroic quest. What are you getting at?

I have a mother who acts and talks similarly to the way you appear to be describing yours. While I agree that honoring your parents is a God-given command and a right they have as your parents...the Lord and your relationship with Him is way, way more important than your parents, especially if...
