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!!!

When chocolate says it can provide peace, it actually does.
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?

Going to war with something doesn't mean that thing is true.

I 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.
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

And how does that work?

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." :eheh:

And could describe the process for this test? Or do you get a percentage from each book sale?

If I used that same argument on you, claiming my position was correct, would you find it convincing at all?

I’m very hurt you call Jesus a “thing”.
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?

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.
Yet what is actually experienced through out the world says otherwise.

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.

You don't get it, do you?

There is peace, then there is "perfect peace."

There is joy, then there is "fulness of joy."

There is knowledge, then there is "full knowledge."

Guess what all all three have in common.
