why not just address the topic instead of attacking the member.Originally Posted by Tzaousios![]()
It seems that Ceridwen is only interested in stringing together her various prooftexts to self-justify her chosen doctrine of God cursing people.
This is very curious considered that people have already seen her do this on other occasions.
The question becomes what actually Ceridwen's faith is actually comprised of if all she proclaims is God damning, cursing, and killing people.
Don't appreciate the insinuations all over this post and other posts you sometimes add on my threads. Don't appreciate you referring to me in the third person. I also find it absurd that you would talk about "God cursing people" as if the Bible verses were written by me. I don't like you throwing red herrings about Calvinism in my threads either.
I don't mean to damn C.S. Lewis. Instead, I want to point out errors in his doctrine and to point out a kind of hypocrisy in his approach. If C.S. Lewis will be damned, it will be God and not me doing the damning.
As for the question about how we come to have faith in God rather than other potential supernatural spirits, I would say that faith is a miracle that God gives to us supernaturally.
There isn't a rational step-by-step method that takes a reasoning atheist to Christianity.
Instead, God miraculously places the true faith into our hearts. Most importantly, he changes our values, teaching us to love him and his good, to love obedience to him.

I like the way Paul puts it in Acts 26 when he was brought to Agrippa:
Acts 26:
28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?”
29 Paul replied, “Short time or long—I pray to God that not only you, but all who are listening to me today, may become what I am, except for these chains.”
30 The king rose, and with him the governor and Bernice and those sitting with them.
31 After they left the room, they began saying to one another, “This man is not doing anything that deserves death or imprisonment.”
32 Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
