I’ve always found the notion of ‘harvest’ really disturbing: it conjures up images of humans being farmed.He calls it harvest time in Matthew 13:30. Maybe it's not harvest yet.
Upbringing does not make one a Christian...only those that actually believe in God/Jesus are Christian.I’m sure people have all sorts or reasons ranging from upbringing to deductive reasoning.
Do you know a typo when you see one?It’s not 3.8 Billion years old
I said God created the wind.I have not asked you to prove God. I know there is no way to prove God.
What do you mean by inerrant?Children don't just need food, they need education. But the (adult) Israelites had to go work in the fields to get something they could eat. Or are you telling me God should have sent Angels as nannies?
The children used to have nannies, already - the Amalekites. But they were guilty, so God wanted to kill them.
That's demanding God to do extra work, which would be educating the newly become orphans, when he kills a people. I reject this approach.
I personally believe the Bible is inerrant - both in the O.T. and in the N.T..
To you first point: upbringing fairly well predicts choice of religion.Upbringing does not make one a Christian...only those that actually believe in God/Jesus are Christian.
As to deductive reasoning....right.
And, as I'm sure you know,,,deductive reasoning brings to logical conclusions...so I agree with you.
ID is a term that scientists use to denote that a superior being created time and the universe...it does not say that the being is the God we know. It COULD be Him too, but is not specified.
I don't know what you mean by creatioism, but it just means that everything was created by God.
.
Did I say something to this effect?
Of course what you believe about science does not disqualify you.
I thought you said you were a believer...that makes it more than a theory..that would make it the truth for you.
Maybe YOU don't know when the universe was created, but it's an accepted fact that it came into being 13.8 billion years ago. What am I "pulling" by stating a fact?
Well, then, perhaps you shouldn't tell me anything and our conversation should really end right here since you're beginning to discuss what I SAY instead of the topic at hand.
Huh?
YOU said Christianity cannot be proven...
I said the resurrection can but that I don't speak about it because atheists don't believe it anyway. HOW is that a strawman???
I agree with you...
I'm a really dumb person and will no longer be posting to you.
Yes, I saw you state it was 13.8 a while after you wrote the other post. I forgot to delete my post.Do you know a typo when you see one?
So how old do you think the earth is?
Now can you see how it was a typing error?
Because quite often people honestly believe that that can be done. I wondered if I were talking to a person of that type.I said God created the wind.
You said to prove this.
To prove this I'd have to prove that God exists.
If you know this cannot be proven,,,WHY did you ask me something you know cannot be done???

Agreed.To you first point: upbringing fairly well predicts choice of religion.
To your second point:deductive logic only reaches accurate conclusions if the premise is valid.
LOLBecause quite often people honestly believe that that can be done. I wondered if I were talking to a person of that type.
It’s nice to talk to someone who doesn’t try to shoe horn evidence when faith alone should be the reason for belief in Jesus.
I believe the N.T. tells us how to be saved.There are no flaws in it. It's perfect.
Agreed.Something does not come from Nothing.
A universe exists.
Man exists.
Therefore, SomeOne had to create the Something.
On that, I think we can agree.LOL
That's why it's called FAITH!
Faith is the conviction of things not seen.
