Or "anyone who believes other than I do"JohnR7 said:The "fake" christians we have names for like: dead, harlot, apostate, carnal, of the world and so forth.
Let's reverse this, before you fall to hypocrisy-JohnR7 said:You can say whatever you want to say, but just because you say it, does not make it true. Only God is true.
corvus_corax said:After all, if it were purposefully intelligently designed by an all-knowing God, EVERONE would get it.
corvus_corax said:"Just because I say it, does not make it untrue"
You do realize I was speaking of Christian schisms, and not those of non-christians, right?JohnR7 said:Actually, not everyone is suppose to "get it" because it is hidden to them.
Luke 10:21
In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, "I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.

Im sure the point here will be missed (or ignored)
The "word of god" states that Jesus is a big leafy vine. And (IIRC) he never said he was speaking in parable at that moment (correct me if Im wrong)JohnR7 said:What makes it true or untrue is if it lines up with the word of God. Even though we trust our Pastor to tell us the truth, still he tells us NOT to take his word for it, but take everything to the word of God to make sure that it is in there.
Well Im sure that some members of the 'heretical' branches would say that God is showing me the 'One Truth' of Universal salvation.JohnR7 said:It does not matter what I beleive what matters is what the Bible says. We do not need a teacher, God is able to teach us. It is interesting to me though for people to share with me what God is doing in their life and what He is teaching and showing them. So what is God doing in your life and what is He showing you?
corvus_corax said:Of course, others would say Im just a heathen looking for an easy way out.
JohnR7 said:You can say whatever you want to say, but just because you say it, does not make it true. Only God is true.
Romans 3:4
God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
Psalm 116:11
I said in my haste, All men are liars.
JohnR7 said:So, I went to look up the Antonyms for intelligent and the primary word that came up was stupid. So by definition if evolution is not a intelligent process, then it must be a stupid one.
So how do evos explain this? Is evolution stupid or intelligent?
Big Rob said:So by definition if the chalk board isn't white, then it must be black.
Freodin said:Thank you, John, for consistently shooting down your own arguments.
Romans 3:4
God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
Psalm 116:11
I said in my haste, All men are liars.
Valkhorn said:Wouldn't that include you John... since you are a man... and therefore you must be a liar?
JohnR7 said:Yes, that is correct, everything is black or white or something inbetween. As you know color is in the light and the object only has the ablity to absorb or reflect light. Black is all light absorbed, white is all light reflected. So any other color would be something inbetween total absorb and total reflect. You can control color in two ways, one is to filter the light, the other way is to control the reflective surface with paint, pigment dye and so forth.
JohnR7 said:You must have missed my answer to Freodin. The question is do I represent my own opinions or do I represent the Bible and the truth of God? Even Jesus did not represent Himself, He represented the Father.
John 8:28
Then Jesus said to them, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things.
How could it be any more clear than this? Jesus did nothing of Himself, he would only speak the things that He learned from the Father.
John 14:10
Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.
It was though His works that you could know that Jesus represented God. He want about teaching, preaching and healing. So the miracles and the healing gave evidence that God was with Him.
Big Rob said:Light refers to the wavelength of light. Green, the colour of a chalkboard, is neither white nor black and has a different wavelength than either.
Big Rob said:It is your opinion that the Bible is the word or god. So yes, you're still representing your opinions.
