God Evolved

[HitchSlap]

Well, that’s the problem, when everyone has their own “witness,” confusion ensues. Truth is the degree to which something comports to reality. Making poop up and trying to prop it up under the auspices of “god told me so,” doesn’t cut muster. Its why there are literally tens of thousands of religions and cults, each proclaiming they have the “Truth.” They all can’t be right, but they could all be wrong.

BTW, the god concept has indeed evolved since man first suggested it existed.

It doesn’t matter how much you argue sir or blame the witnesses for your unbelief. The GOSPEL is preached and will be preached

Men will not be able to say they never heard THE TRUTH


It is what it is sir

TRUTH will remain TRUTH

Regardless of whether you believed or didn’t

Advice is not always welcome, but I am an optimist and hope that some of my observations may get through.

Putting keys words in capital letters is not an effective technique on forums. (It rather smacks of desperation.) You might consider using italics, or emboldment to give required emphasis.

You might gain greater traction with your arguments if you bothered to read carefully what others have posted. (There are multiple examples in this thread of that.)

I am assuredly not blaming witnesses for my unbelief. I cannot imagine how you formed that view. Why would I blame someone for something I celebrate? It might be useful for you to be circumspect in assigning motives to others. It does not show you in a good light.

Feel free to ignore, or misinterpret what I have written here. It does appear to be your superpower.

Well when one wants to go beyond what has been given us by HIS WORD which is THE TESTIMONY of JESUS already


What do you expect


It’s all yeast
Anything added beyond what is written is man’s input. Opinions ideas suggestions

And all these things do cause division and confusion

You are not free to misinterpret me
I will correct you when you do

Is your cap locks button stuck?

YouSre not free to misinterpret me
I will correct you when you do

You’re really devoted, aren’t you?

 

[miknik5]

Is your cap locks button stuck?

If it were all my words would be in caps
And you have been around long enough to know and remember that I use caps when I speak about the things of GOD

Anything pertaining to GOD is in caps

You want to add your own salt to this fire go ahead. I know what I wrote in caps and why.

Just another newcomer thinking to correct something that I have decided long ago to do and will continue to do in my writing(s)

Do you find this particularly effective for you?

 

[miknik5]

You’re really devoted, aren’t you?

To the TRUTH yes. And passionate about correcting those who distort it

 

[miknik5]

Do you find this particularly effective for you?

For me? I’ll write the way I choose to. Do you find it easy to attack this and justify yourself by finding fault in my writing style?


Wow!!!
Big deal!!!

I’m sorry you feel attacked. I’m just asking clarifying questions. I’m truly fascinated in the process of discourse and disputation, and when I come across unorthodox methods, I’m truly curious.

Not trying to make you uncomfortable at all, so only answer what you like, of course. You’re free to leave at any time.

Yes. Good night

 

[HitchSlap]

Yes. Good night

Good night sweet prince.

You too. Princess

They all can’t be right, but they could all be wrong.

This is basically my view. If 99.9% of the world's beliefs/religions are wrong, then it's a pretty short hop to 100% of them being wrong.

 

[CherubRam]

I am the beginning and the ending


No

That doesn’t work for me
I could NEVER claim that


Could you?

 

[HitchSlap]

It’s all yeast
Anything added

Well, I do know that adding hops, malt and water to yeast, let’s us know there is a.god, and he loves us.

Of course you should write exactly as you wish. I'm simply telling you that there are aspects of your style that corrupt your message, distract from the central theme, make you look foolish and inept, and render your efforts worthless. You are totally entitled to continue with that approach. The consequences are beneficial to my argument, so keep on trucking. I'm only sorry you are immune to advice.

HitchSlap joined in 2012. I joined in 2008. You joined in 2016. Yet you refer to one of us a "just another newcomer".

I check my facts before I make posts. That way I very, very rarely have to issue a retraction and apology. You should try it some time.
