Thank you. I do care a lot for him but I can't continue this way. I am planning to talk to him tomorrow and explain that under the circumstances I can't continue the debate yet wish to remain friends. I hope this worksJust a couple of things to say here. One I would beware of any debating with COC's I used to attend a church and found out it was like a 'Stepford Church' if you get my meaning. They wouldn't even discuss the book of Revelation, something very apt today. They would question new people coming into the church and make judgements to if you were worthy or not to attend. I had to stop going because of work but my husband continued. I found out that they were actually brainwashing him into divorcing me! He finally realized what they were doing there and left.
They will not back down on their beliefs so I would advise you that you shouldn't waste your time. If you still want to hang out with this person then make a caveat that religion is off the table for any discussion.
Now that being said I do believe in this.
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?...................
18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? James 2
