But YOU do ... right?YOU don't get to decide who is a Christian and who isn't.
Slavers were Christian. There were no people back then who were anything else.
That's gonna change when Jesus returns.
But until then, what about the father? does he have any say in the matter? or my taxes?
you were arguing the significance of the abbreviation to the title of a book.How is this a part of the discussion?
Um ... creationism entails the first two chapters.I've read the entirety of Genesis (among other books of the Bible); a little more than a page.
Not interested.pitabread said:Too much for you?
The Bible -- twelve times.pitabread said:I think the longest single book I've ever read was about 1200 pages. How about you?
God would have to exist first. Then he would have to be angry about it. The same god who sent two bears to kill 42 kids for making fun of a guy for being bald. Yeah... that god.I’m also sorry for the fathers whose sons or daughters are murdered by their partner.
I wonder if those who verbally agreed with the murder of the unborn will face the same judgement from God as those who did it?
Good.Right, you have a fetish for Darwin's book titles.
No judgement here.
This right here is called admitting ignorance.Um ... creationism entails the first two chapters.
Yes, there are details inserted later throughout the Bible, but for the most part, creationism is the first chapter ... period.
So I don't care if you read the whole Bible. It's the first chapter that matters.Not interested.The Bible -- twelve times.
Along with college courses, and literally three bookcases of theology.
Along with memberships to clubs, watched videos, shows and more.
Post 292 please. Then follow the link.Where you try to turn it into a book about human beings and racism.
I wear it like a badge of honor.This right here is called admitting ignorance.
Um ... creationism entails the first two chapters.

Not interested.
I know most people won't want to listen to a 2-hour lecture, I'm usually one of those, but this one with speaker John Lennox held my attention. I think whether one is a Christian or non-Christian they might find it interesting, too.No, I haven't even heard of it.
No, that is an example of those people deciding that they are Christians. Their decision that they are Christians is just as valid as your decision that you are a Christian.But YOU do ... right?
Yes, and that's where they go wrong.That's debatable, since a lot of creationists use other passages from the Bible to support their position re: creationism.
Somehow that point got left out of his post.No, that is an example of those people deciding that they are Christians.
I didn't "decide" I was a Christian.Subduction Zone said:Their decision that they are Christians is just as valid as your decision that you are a Christian.
Actually you did decided that you are a Christian. No one else decided for you.Somehow that point got left out of his post.
So I don't believe you.I didn't "decide" I was a Christian.
And for the record, if everyone is going to call everyone who winked at the Bible a "Christian," then let's use the word that Paul used most: "saint."
Do auto mechanics decide they're auto mechanics?Actually you did decided that you are a Christian. No one else decided for you.
Yep, that is what they tend to do. Now others can see that they are what they claim. You don't seem to realize that when you try to refute the Christianity of others that by the same standards you refute your own claims to be a Christian.Do auto mechanics decide they're auto mechanics?
How about cops? doctors? astronomers? farmers? taxi drivers? airline pilots? military personnel?
Well, that’s kinda how it works, buddy. Unless of course you can produce a genetic test or membership card, people who call themselves Christians, are guess what… Christians.Somehow that point got left out of his post.
So I don't believe you.I didn't "decide" I was a Christian.
