I'm doing nothing but professing THE TRUTH
Those whom GOD has given ears to hear will hear. For HIS WORD will go out and will not return to HIM void but will accomplish HIS PURPOSE
I don't know who will hear and believe but HE does
And it is enough for the worker to go out and cast the seed knowing HE alone will bring the increase
In response to your first sentence:Why is it that Christians think they can read minds? And why do that have such a spectacularly bad success rate, even to the point that it's worse than chance?
You said:
"if anyone were truly seeking they would have looked into it themselves. You know. To test those claims."
I did. And there's nothing there.
And I'll ask again, since you might have missed it...
So why continue knowing that you're doing more harm than good?

In response to your first sentence:
Because I was also there
If you sought after you claimed yourself to be a Christian then you were not
I told you. You are not the only ears listening in sirDo you believe that your god is happy with adherents whose actions cause atheists to be more convinced they're correct in their disbelief? Because that's demonstrably happening.
If you don't believe me, take a poll here. Ask if anyone is more likely to become a Christian after hearing you.
I told you. A Christian isn't some sort of action that we do FIRST to somehow convert ourselves, to sanctify ourselves, so that we consider ourselves "Christian"I don't think you want to go down the "you were never a Christian" road. Because it really doesn't lead to a good conclusion for people who call themselves a Christian now...
So you still maintain I was never a Christian?
I told you. You are not the only ears listening in sir
And blessed those who take no offense in HIM
Would you like me to lie? Would you like me to offer flexible relative untruths so as to soothe and please "itchy ears"So even though everyone is saying you're doing more harm than good, and even though it's demonstrably true that you're doing harm by bolstering the case of all atheists, you're banking on hypothetical people listening in? People that conveniently aren't saying anything?
So are you denying that you at least could be doing more harm than good?

It is what HE has done.
If THAT FOUNDATION isn't laid first (and that FOUNDATION is only laid by GOD) then all it is is lan outward profession of what has never moved inwardly and therefore these "stones" are being built on a "temporal platform" that will eventually crumble and fall.
i deny it.So even though everyone is saying you're doing more harm than good, and even though it's demonstrably true that you're doing harm by bolstering the case of all atheists, you're banking on hypothetical people listening in? People that conveniently aren't saying anything?

I can't
You sir are trying to trap meYes or no question:
Do you believe that someone who claimed to be a Christian and then deconverted wasn't a Christian to begin with?
I did already. And you "want" me to do something?I want you answer the question. Another yes or no question.
Are you denying that you at least could be doing more harm than good?
i deny it.
Yes
You sir are trying to trap me
Judge yourself on how you became HIS
I did already. And you "want" me to do something?
Who are you sir that I am somehow under your authority?
Continue being the name you have claimed for yourself.Based on the idea that hypothetical people who aren't speaking up will hear this and be converted? And denying the first hand evidence that you're causing atheists to be more convinced they're correct?
And that doesn't sound odd to you?
