Is this for real?

[DogmaHunter]

I believe.

Myeah, I'm not buying it. I feel like I would be insulting your intelligence to accept that you actually believe that.

Anyhow, if that is the kind of nonsense that you are going to use to "support" your wild claims here, then I guess there isn't much point in continueing.

Man and God disagree what morality is. Man believes that anything he thinks is right......is right i.e. "Every man doing what is right.....in his own eyes."

Many want to be moral but don't know how. The bible is the best source of that knowledge.

Agree to disagree.

 

[OldWiseGuy]

Agree to disagree.

The great caveat of course is that the bible student must be 'spirit led' to really get it (sorry I didn't mention that earlier).

You're making another point (but that's for another thread).

1 Corinthians 2:14
"But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."

Come to think of it, if I were to start a religion, this is exactly the type of doctrine I'd use to inculcate those with objections.

 

[OldWiseGuy]

I disagree. I think that if we would organize society according to biblical rules, it would resemble current islamic theocracies more then it would free western secular democracies. There's quite a few "oughts" in that book that I would heavily oppose. And to be honest, I think you'ld oppose some of them as well.

Of course not. Ancient Israel is no more, as are those laws. They have become spiritual and are now charged to the individual, not the nation.

Whatever man.

I can not take seriously the ramblings of a man who "explains" earthquakes the way you just did.

 

[DogmaHunter]

In your opinion. Other believers have very different opinions.

Not Christian believers (once I educate them).

Once YOU educate them, as the self appointed authority on the bible..

Can't make this stuff up.
This thing be funny.

I think you're done.

Most Christians haven't 'got the message' yet. If they did the world would be a very different place. But in time they will, if they hang in there.

And????

put 10 people in a room and ask them any question on any subject and you will be sure to get 12 answers....

That's human nature.....

So the journeyman can't teach the apprentice?

You can't teach them anything spiritual. They have closed minds... It takes an open mind to learn anything, be it spiritual or scientific.....

That be true.

 

[DogmaHunter]

That be true.

Theists tend to confuse having an "open mind" with "believing whatever people tell you".

Eventually we sort it all out.

That's neither teaching or doctrine, just a fact.
