Ok.Believe me, Frenchy, some will realize how true those words are.
Pertaining to the spirit world -- that incorporeal part of the universe that houses God and angels and 1/3 of our makeup.Would you define "spiritual" so I can understand what you mean?
How would you demonstrate the existence of an "incorporeal part of the universe"?Pertaining to the spirit world -- that incorporeal part of the universe that houses God and angels and 1/3 of our makeup.
Awww -- that's a shame, isn't it?
For us, that 'intellectual depth and philosophical beauty' is replaced by the 'intellectual depth and philosophical beauty' of the observation of fulfilled prophecy, as we see these great monuments to the Christian faith become just 'empty warehouses' as faith gives way to 'seducing spirits and doctrines of devils.'
Other than worship directed in the right direction, I'm not allowed to.How would you demonstrate the existence of an "incorporeal part of the universe"?
Except there's absolutely no evidence suggesting these things exist. In that case, whenever I see an internet theologist use the word "spiritual," I'll just transpose "nonsense" into it's place.Other than worship directed in the right direction, I'm not allowed to.
Some people beacon the spiritual part of the universe with such beacons as Ouija Boards, D&D, Pentagrams, spells, incantations, mantras, and a whole host of other practices.
Let's quote Jesus here, shall we?In the last year and a half I've been sent to Europe almost 10 or 12 separate times to a variety of northern European cities for work. On those trips on the rare times I get a shot to play "tourist" I will make a bee-line for the nearest Medieval Cathedral. So absolutely astonishing! I love the history, I even love the symbolic displays and the clear depth of attachment to an idea that would drive people to make these amazing places. And I honor the centrality of that idea to the civilization and it's history.
Ya, ya -- empty buildings, beautiful nebulae, and gorgeous canyons.There are many things about "faith" I think have value.
What's wrong?Except there's absolutely no evidence suggesting these things exist.
We have a better chance than you moving one of these:What's wrong?
Can' you guys build and calibrate a machine that can do this:
2 Kings 6:17 And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
God is self-existent.
What say we just skip the mess and say, "God is"?
D&D.Other than worship directed in the right direction, I'm not allowed to.

Un - huh -- let gold be found in one of those things, and we'll see who has the faith of a grain of mustard seed, won't we?We have a better chance than you moving one of these:
I knew, with that one, someone would pipe up --D&D.Dear, misguided AV. It's a game. Only a game.
Yet that's not what King Jim says, does it?Un - huh -- let gold be found in one of those things, and we'll see who has the faith of a grain of mustard seed, won't we?
Actually he does.Yet that's not what King Jim says, does it?
Swing and a miss!Actually he does.
(You were refrencing your king [James H. McGraw of McGraw-Hill], weren't you?)
However, what you've done is give us a nice picture of what an atheist is: somebody who doesn't care about his origins or future. That's perfectly reasonable as you evolved by accident from a bubbling fusion of chemicals eons ago. Why care; you're ultimately pointless.
I doubt it -- you guys are KJVO as well -- only a different James.Swing and a miss!
Dear Mathclub
I believe in the Big Bang, the age of the Earth and Universe, the evolutionary chain you describe. I also believe in God. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

Strrrrrrrrrrike two!I doubt it -- you guys are KJVO as well -- only a different James.
Don't you guys use your AV2011 bibles?
