In other words, you want me to believe you without any proof.
NOT AT ALL. Why are you lazy? What I want you to do is go to school and get schooled and learn this stuff for yourself so you do not have to depend on anyone to tell you what God wants you to know.

Tell you what. You give me all your worldly possessions and I'll give you a million dollars. But only once I've got all your stuff.
That is a great theory. Again you need to read the Bible. Because the more I give, the more I seem to get in return. I give and I give and I give, yet I still seem to have a house full of junk that I can not get rid of. What sort of stuff can I interest you in. Right now I got a triple 1.5 quart slow cooker / food warmer. My wife asked for one for when we have a party and somehow they sent me two of them. I got an extra exerciser we are looking to give to someone. I got some extra memory for the camera because the women are always asking me to get that for them. Because I can order it on line so cheap. You know I can not even begin to list all the junk I need to get rid of and give away. Lots of books, a snow blower. When are you going to come over and help me get rid of this junk?

See how weak that argument is?
Yes, by all means I can see how weak your argument is.

I'll give you 1 Euro for the lot! :)

His argument holds water while your arguments are incoherent at best! :wave:

How does one gnash his teeth at a non existing entity:confused:
You may have a point. If you do not believe that God exists then you can not very well be angry at Him for anything. Still there can be a grinding or gnashing of the teeth because of pain or disappointment. There is a dental condition where people will grind their teeth in their sleep. I think they make them up some sort of retainer to wear when they are sleeping. But I am not sure how they treat this.

[SIZE=+2][/SIZE]GNASH

nash (charaq; brugmos): "Gnash" is used of grinding or striking together the teeth in rage, pain or misery of disappointment. In the Old Testament it is the translation of charak, a mimetic word, and represents for the most part rage, anger, hatred (Job 16:9, "He gnasheth upon me with his teeth," the Revised Version (British and American) "hath gnashed upon me"; Ps 35:16; 37:12; 112:10, grief; Lam 2:16, contempt or derision); brucho, "to gnash the teeth in rage," indicates anger, rage, Septuagint for charaq (Acts 7:54, of Stephen, "They gnashed on him with their teeth"). The several instances of brugmos, "gnashing," in the Gospels seem to express disappointment rather than anger (Mt 8:12,"There shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth," the Revised Version (British and American) "the weeping and the gnashing of teeth"; Mt 13:42,50; 22:13; 24:51; 25:30; Lk 13:28--a vivid representation of the misery of disappointed expectations; compare Ecclesiasticus 30:10, "lest thou shalt gnash thy teeth in the end," gomphiazo, "to have the teeth set on edge"); trizo (Mk 9:18), which means "to give out a creaking, grating sound," "to screak," is used in the New Testament (in the above instance only) to mean "to grate or gnash with the teeth," indicating the effect of a paroxysm, the Revised Version (British and American) "grindeth his teeth."

The only thing that you've shown us is that your best argument is "You can't prove I'm wrong, therefore I'm right!"

And I have proven you wrong too, you just refuse to look at it, because you are blinded by your beliefs.
On the contrary I have shown in this thread that the Tribulation realities mean different laws. The 1000 year reign also, as well as the forever kingdom, and heaven, and the pre flood word. All are eerily different than this temporal present state.

No wonder the armies are on horses and using bows in the Tribulation! Hehe.

That's because those are what they used uring the times of the writers of the O.T. Strange that when your god told them what to write he didn't tell them about artillery or lasers, or whatever will be used during the battle of Armageddon....HEHEHEHEHHEEE....

gravity is not a force for the future in and of itself. Gravity is for the physical.

Gravity is not any force, it is a fundamental property of the fabric of the universe. As long as this universe exists, gravity will exist. I am willing to bet my life on that.

15 billion years of the same properties, I don't think it'll change anytime soon.

If you convert during the Trib then you will have to be martyred for your faith. So it would be better not to wait and have to go through the Tribulation. The church age ends somewhere around 2029 so we can expect this somewhere around then. Perhaps around the day of pentecost.

Doubt it.:cool:

Scientists used to believe in "zero gravity," until they found out they were wrong.

Now they call it "microgravity."

What use does God have for teeth:confused: Does he need to eat:confused: Surely having teeth means that he needs to eat and this leads me to ask; What does God eat:confused:
I always wondered that too! Eating your favorite foods is one of the greatest pleasures man can experience, does God eat? If so, is it for sustenance or shear pleasure? Good question!
Also, do you still have to pray when you get to heaven? Seems it would be pointless at that time. Maybe you have to schedule an appointment or meeting with God or Jesus, whoever you'd like to speak to.

And I can easily show that Aesop's Fables prove without a doubt that animals can talk. Boo hoo. You need to do more than show me an old story and claim that it's proof.

NOT AT ALL. Why are you lazy? What I want you to do is go to school and get schooled and learn this stuff for yourself so you do not have to depend on anyone to tell you what God wants you to know.

So then where do I get my proof for all this if I can't wait to see it for myself?

Because, call me crazy, I think that if God wanted me to know something, he'd be able to find a way to let me know.

That is a great theory. Again you need to read the Bible. Because the more I give, the more I seem to get in return. I give and I give and I give, yet I still seem to have a house full of junk that I can not get rid of. What sort of stuff can I interest you in.

When are you going to come over and help me get rid of this junk?

Mail it to me.

Yes, by all means I can see how weak your argument is.

And you are using the exact same argument, aren't you? Claiming that Person A will receive a great reward if they do something, but there is no proof that they will receive the great reward until after they do that thing. Weak as a wet paper bag...

Just a more accurate name, AV. Unless, of course, you want to show me that those scientists actually thought that astronauts had completely escaped the gravitational pull of the Earth.

And you guys would still be calling it "The hand of Jesus holding everything down" if it weren't for us.

If the hand of Jesus was holding everything down ... believe me ... everything would be going nowhere.
