I read the line in the original post that people should be proud of their ignorance.

Why would anyone be proud of being ignorant?

Ignorance is a terrible disadvantage.
Ignorance is easily tricked.
Ignorance is easily misled.
Ignorance is often mean and selfish and lazy.

Sure. I'll believe anything at all, no matter how outrageous.

All I ask is evidence to support the claims. That's not unreasonable, is it?

Isn't the testimony of men evidence enough that what GOD did then by pouring out HIS SPIRIT upon men, HE continues to do today so that in every generation and at all times there will always be witnesses testifying to THE TRUTH of THE GOSPEL?

Do you think its men who preach the GOSPEL who are deceived?

The GOSPEL will go out as a TESTIMONY

for those who believe
And against those who don't

You have the evidence
You just don't want to do anything about it for yourself, KTS

And you hide behind this idea that you are stronger than and smarter than


But you're not

Yes.

It depends.

Was Mozart ignorant of quantum physics?

Again, it depends on the ignorance.

Should we give our military secrets to our enemies?

Listen to your husband and soften
your armour against GOD

Be quiet and be still and wait don't think that you have to do and do and do

You're your worst distraction

I am not trying to be mean to you
But you are fighting and in your fighting you are already defeated

Defeated ONLY if your true intentions is to seek the evidence which you claim keeps you from THE TRUTH

Ignorance is not something to be PROUD of.
It's a disadvantage.

The disadvantage is when one thinks they know it all and don't know how ignorant they truly are

Oh, I'm sorry then.
I didn't notice.
I'm glad you changed it.
Thank you.
No, you were right.

I didn't change it until after I read your post.

I was convicted about using the word "proud."

Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Welcome to CF, by the way! :wave:

If people are out preaching the Gospel effectively, why aren't there more Christians?

Wow. No fire-and-brimstone preachers around your neck of the woods?

In Europe people keep their religious beliefs mostly to themselves. I've never met a "street" preacher over here.

So basically anyone that even mentions the Bible, you would take as a Hell-fire-and-brimstone preacher?
