What would happen to the creation/evolution debate...

[Speedwell]

Yeah yeah, and Stalin, who murder over 20 million of his own people, wasn't a Christian just like you. Does this correlate to something? I think your own argument is self-defeating.

But I thought that strict adherence to the doctrine of literal inerrancy was supposed by you to be proof against such moral error.

Ha. I never said that.

 

[Bungle_Bear]

Let me ask you if you believe morality is subjective to societal norms, was segregation of blacks in the United States at one point good? How about the Holocaust and the Jewish Gettos, was that good at one point? I want your answer.

What do you mean by "good"?

 

[Jonaitis]

What do you mean by "good"?

It doesn't objectively exist in your worldview...I forgot.

 

[JohnAshton]

How does Speedwell have the "right of it." I clearly said, before he responded, that there were professing Christians that justified slavery, they likely supported segregation too. He only proved what I already said...

And so many of those 'professing Christians' were evangelical Southern Christians. Just 'fess up to it.

Yeah yeah, and one of my favorite theologians owned a slave. Fess up to what again?

 

[Bungle_Bear]

It doesn't objectively exist in your worldview...I forgot. My apologies.

Huh? There are multiple possible interpretations of the word "good" in your question, so your fatuous "you don't believe good exists" is an example of the responses you are railing against others giving. Such hypocrisy is unbecoming.

If hypocrisy and unbecoming even exist.

You are neither clever nor funny. Avoidance is not a great debating tactic.

 

[Speedwell]

Ha. I never said that.

But you certainly have attributed all of the moral errors you accuse other Christians of to their relinquishing it.

Thank you for owning up.

I am not trying to be clever or funny, I am just having fun on my own. Hey, this is an online board for Odin's sake.

I think you are missing a chunk of my argument.

I attribute a false faith to those who deny the basic truths of the faith. You can't be a Christian if you believe Jesus was just another Buddha, it is just that simple.

The SBC addressed this again a few years ago...do you know who Albert Mohler is?

You asked a question to which you expected an answer. I asked you to clarify the meaning of a key word in that question. Your response was unhelpful and rude. Is that really your idea of fun?

...rude? Who decides what is objectively "rude"? In my eyes, I may have been actually polite.

Then I'm sure you can see the reasonableness of my request for clarity in the meaning of the word "good" in your question.

Talk about a non sequitur! Jesus was the Son of God who lived, died and miraculously rose again to free of our sins. What does that have to do with Buddha?

 

[JohnAshton]

Immaterial to the discussion. I know he is SBC honcho or was recently.

 

[Jonaitis]

It is hard to answer your question, as my definition is different than yours.

I define what is "good" by anything in conformity to the revealed moral law of God.
