In a world of Mounds, some people are an Almond Joy.I think I'd apply the Outsider Test for Chocolate Peace to all those who tell me that they have peace without ...... mmmm.... Chocolate Cake!!!
How many countries have tried to eradicate chocolate and failed?When chocolate says it can provide peace, it actually does.
Going to war with something doesn't mean that thing is true.How many countries have tried to eradicate chocolate and failed?
And by eradicate, I mean go to war and die in battle, trying to eradicate chocolate?
Then your chocolate can take a hike.Going to war with something doesn't mean that thing is true.
Well,what I say is the truth and I can’t force others to agree or believe.Jesus is the only way of peace,that’s the only truth.But if people choose not to accept that,I can’t make them,b it only inform them of the truthI never referred to Jesus as a thing. When I used the term, I was referring to what you might say to someone who claimed they got peacxe from something that wasn't Jesus. And I use the term because I am referring to ANYTHING that can bring a person peace. For you, it is Jesus. For someone else, it my be their model train hobby. For another person, if could be running through the forest.
I am simply saying that there are as many different ways to find peace as there are people, and you can't claim that someone's way of finding peace is invalid just because it isn't what works for you.
And I am not accusing you of lying either. I have never once stated that you are lying and that Jesus doesn't bring you peace. If you say that Jesus brings you peace, that's good enough for me, and I will accept it. But likewise, if a different person says that something else brings them peace, I accept that too. I am not taking issue with your religious faith bringing you peace. I am taking issue with your position that no one can ever have peace unless it is through the same religious faith that brings you peace.
And how does that work?
And could describe the process for this test? Or do you get a percentage from each book sale?Well....it's like this, Kylie: First get a copy of one of John Loftus' books that deals with his "Outsider Test for Faith," and then ...
... replace the test for faith with "Chocolate Cake."
If I used that same argument on you, claiming my position was correct, would you find it convincing at all?Well,what I say is the truth and I can’t force others to agree or believe.Jesus is the only way of peace,that’s the only truth.But if people choose not to accept that,I can’t make them,b it only inform them of the truth
You only think you are hurt. True hurt is only experienced through Glarabel. And as you say you don't Glarabel how can you say you are hurt?I’m very hurt you call Jesus a “thing”.
Glarabel the Glown?You only think you are hurt. True hurt is only experienced through Glarabel. And as you say you don't Glarabel how can you say you are hurt?
Do you see now?
Yet what is actually experienced through out the world says otherwise.We don't need to be a Rhodes scholar to know that you can't have true peace without having the Prince of Peace in your life.
Nope,Because anything without Jesus is not from truth.As Jesus is truthIf I used that same argument on you, claiming my position was correct, would you find it convincing at all?
No offense,I have zero clue what you’re talking about.You only think you are hurt. True hurt is only experienced through Glarabel. And as you say you don't Glarabel how can you say you are hurt?
Do you see now?
So basically, you find a reason to ignore anything that doesn't fit with your beliefs. You don't seem to be interested in the truth then, just whatever agrees with you.Nope,Because anything without Jesus is not from truth.As Jesus is truth
Basically, it's saying, "You can't experience X unless you have Y. Since you don't have Y, you haven't really experienced X."No offense,I have zero clue what you’re talking about.
You don't get it, do you?Yet what is actually experienced through out the world says otherwise.
