Evidence says otherwise.Nope.
Perhaps you should stick to the op and not make the posts about the posters.Perhaps you should...
You have yet to prove that case; the evidence posted from scripture proves otherwise and when given the opportunity it is now evidence an affirmation of at least part of what was posted, followed by the choice to deny, attack, ask rhetorical questions already answered and avoid scripture.Yes, and? He made the universe and it is all ultimately about Him.
Already answered that question preemptively - before it was asked. Why as a question already answered? Is it because my post was completely read? Was it the post wasn't fully comprehended? Was it because it was read and understood but there is no regard for the actual content? Was it because there's no genuine interest in resolving the disagreement and this is troll? Whatever it is or isn't asking questions already answered is a Fail.All of Creation was made for His purposes, to serve and glorify Him. Do you deny this?
Nice move of the goal posts. The discussion isn't about what creation is or isn't This OP is about the core message of Christianity. I briefly surveyed scripture to show all scripture is about Christ; the entirety of the law, prophets, psalms, and the NT is about Christ incarnate dead, resurrected, ascended and enthroned so that we could be made like him, raised incorruptible and immortal.Yes, and? This doesn't negate the fact that all of Creation exists by and for God.
Fail.Yes. This was my point in the post you said was a "fail."
Red herring. No one here has said otherwise or remotely implied or insinuated otherwise. You're till off-topic and not addressing the actual error committed.None of this alters the supremacy and centrality of God in Creation
Again: the evidence proves otherwise.Again, none of this defeats what I pointed out about God ultimately being the point of everything - even and particularly Christianity.
Glad to read that because the evidence up to this point says otherwise.Yes, I'm aware
Another read herring. No one here has said, implied, nor insinuated otherwise. The fact is God is not glorified doing this if this doesn't happen. God is not glorified through Christ's life, death,and resurrection if Christ doesn't live, die and resurrect. God is not glorified by creating us in Christ and raising us incorruptible and immortal if we are not made in Christ and raised thusly. Christianity is in fact about God and us and you went on record denying that fact. I gave you and every reader here scripture evidencing my dissent. You? Not so much. Instead I received fallacies of red herring, goal post moving, and the conflation of creation and Christianity.And the ultimate purpose of God doing this through Christ was His own glorification. Christians are not the ultimate focus of Christianity; God is. This is Christianity 101...

Fail.
1) You point is off-topic. This discussion is about the core message of Christianity, not creation.
2) You denied "God and us." That is in fact a blunt, undeniable failure to understand Christianity.
3) The above nonsense ofasking rhetorical questions already answered is not veracious or efficacy.
4) If there is agreement then a two simple words are all that is necessary: "I agree."
A hearty, "I completely agree and should not have conflated creation with Christianity, nor stated so bluntly 'Not God and us,'" would be even better.
Red herring. No one here has said otherwise or remotely implied or insinuated otherwise. You're till off-topic and not addressing the actual error committed.

You screwed up.
All creation is about God and the triune God glorified but that is not the topic of this discussion.
Christianity is by definition about little christs, so the "us" cannot be removed from its core message.
The post I commended earlier did an excellent job of reporting the core message of Christianity. The post from which I dissented did not. The response my dissent proved my case.
You have not made th case for the core message of Christianity to be all about God and not God and us and you are wasting my time and everyone else's arguing a straw man. I stated quite plainly in post #27,Right back at you.

So how you now claim I deny God as Creator is beyond comprehension.
You are off-topic (this op is not about whether God created the universe) and clearly ignoring content already posted.
Josh: It was by, through, and for him that all things were created.
aiki: Yes. This was my point in the post you said was a "fail."
So you knew I'd acknowledged God as Creaotr and here you are claiming I deny the truth.
And I did not say God creating the universe was a Fail. I said your excluding humanity from the core message of Christianity was a Fail, and I stand by that comment.
You see you conflated "the core message of Christianity," with "the core of Christianity." Those are not the same two things.
You screwed up.
And because you screwed up and then tried to defend the screw up you attacked another poster who correctly corrected the error.
Now........
Do the right thing and correct your mistake.
Well.... let's look at the record, shall we?Nope. Any conflation going has occurred on your end, not mine. I have never been confused about the difference between the divine core of Christianity and the "message" of Christianity.
What do you understand the core message of Christianity to be?
God. Not God and us. Just God. He is the Core of Christianity and the Core of all reality and truth. Everything is ultimately about Him.
Non sequitur. I did not ask you to comment on my posts.I did not ask you to comment on my post.
