Are you under the impression you are somehow infallible where those other denominations were not? That you are incapable of falling into the exact same hubris as they?
Nope not at all My denomination would have suffered probable death and or torture under that Religous Rule of That particular Era .
That's all I'm saying.

I don't see anything in there that limits magic to divination.

As far as your plagiarism goes, all you'd really have to do is admit you made an error and apologize for presenting large amounts of plagiarized material as "your own words". But you won't do that, because some folks can never admit they were wrong.

My plagiarism Lol
I told you already what I did to receive that info .
Cool the flaming

I guess you can't admit you made an error. And now you're projecting by accusing me of flaming.

Good luck with that.

Looks like I got you both mixed up .
Easy to do when You both have the same Aim .
It's a game to You Both .
And you are on the same team with the same Goal .
I get it .
It does not move me any further than it moves you .
It's all good .

Sorry for the mix up of names .
But the agenda is the same

I haven't been playing a game, I've been engaging in a discussion and a debate. What exactly is my agenda? Because so far my posts have involved my emphasizing the importance of Scripture, and a defense of Christianity against internal attacks made by you and several other Creationists who have put it upon themselves to deny my Christian faith and the Christian faith of the majority of Christians because we don't share a couple of your opinions.

My agenda here, if anything, is to defend the Christian faith.

It's not flaming to call a person out on plagiarism.

It is flaming, however, to accuse other Christians of not being Christians. Which you did several times in this thread. In fact, that was basically the entire reason I entered into the discussion in this thread. If I wanted to report you, I wouldn't have reported you on the plagiarism, I would have reported you on the flaming; however I usually only resort to reporting a poster if they are engaging in explicitly racist or hateful behavior and language, I'm rather conservative with the report feature on this website because even if I think a person is behaving badly I generally accept the right of a person to speak freely even if I think what they are saying is wrong, mean-spirited, or hostile. My skin is fairly thick, it's gotta be to survive internet discussion forums.

What I don't tolerate is racism and out-and-out hatred, I will report that.

Fair enough. I myself would have been burned at the stake. However the gist of my point is that being fervent in your religious belief does not preclude you from being wrong. Every single time religious belief has squared off against science, religious belief has come out second best. If I was religious I might think it a lesson from God on the idea of humility.

Atheist uphold and defend a belief in evolution , has nothing to do with dietys .

They fight with Christians about what they believe like Irish protestants v.s Irish Catholics .
Although they deny it .

Acceptance of evolution has nothing to do with athiesm. Once again it only describes non belief in god(s)

Most Christians accept evolution.

Christian scientists overwhelming accept evolution.

Bolding added by me for emphasis. I know that a lot of Christians hate it when someone uses the word "magic" to describe miracles and God, but this is really all they mean. God is supernatural. He's literally "above nature", correct? I get that it feels bad with all the other negative connotations from the other meanings of the word, but no one ever means to use it in the manner of the occult or black magic.

It's fine to politely ask people to use a different word when you hear "magic" because you don't like it, but you shouldn't accuse people of using it incorrectly and claiming it couldn't possibly be used accurately to describe miracles. It's just being PC for religion. I don't think many people will give you a fuss if you ask them to say "supernatural" instead.
