That's 100% true.
It's like tricksters who starts by telling you that you're smart and no one can fool you, they then proceed to convince you that it would be a good idea to give them your money, some can even get you to think it was all your own idea.
All people are gullable some are just more gullable than others.
I shall rephrase then. You are right. God is my radar. This includes His Word.
His Word is Jesus. His word is (allegedly) the Bible.
Fret not; we see that mistake around here all the time.
You're calling the beliefs of those with whom you don't agree mistakes? Original...
No, I'm correcting your theology. Wouldn't want you worshiping the Bible instead of the Logos -- that would be idolatrous.
You're welcome.
We call that "repenting."You can heap evidence and logic on them forever and they will reject until it is their idea to go a certain direction.
I see you've been listening to John (We're more popular than Christ) Lennon.
While singing ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE, they helped fund the war in Ireland.
For your information, more atrocities have occurred under atheist regimes, than religious ones.
Atheism and Mass Murder
We call that "proselytizing."This is the reason so many christians dig in their heels when presented with logic that goes against a tightly held belief. If someone else is telling them, they will likely deny and assemble psychological defense mechanisms to protect their belief. It is only when they have the opportunity to think clearly on their own and have it be their idea, that they accept a reality that goes against a previously held belief.
And that is the difference between us. The Bible isn't on your radar. The Bible IS my radar.
It's interesting that Charles Manson interpreted the Beatle's songs to fit his eschatology and commit his atrocities.One of my favorites ....
I wouldn't want to speculate as to what goes through Charles's head.It's interesting that Charles Manson interpreted the Beatle's songs to fit his eschatology and commit his atrocities.
When asked about the song Revolution, where the Beatles say, "Don't you know that you can count me out," he pointed out that, on their White Album, it goes, "Don't you know that you can out me out/in."
I had the White Album at the time; and sure enough, as soon as they say "out," they say "in" so fast it's almost indistinguishable.
Well, when they varied from the documentation, evil used it.Maybe .. but the official lyrics say "out."http://www.lyrics007.com/The Beatles Lyrics/Revolution Lyrics.html

QV the first song and listen carefully:

Proselytizing does not work on the religious, the only thing that can change a believers mind is the believer.We call that "proselytizing."
Neatly placed on your radar by someone else and done in such a way that you believe it was placed there by you.And that is the difference between us. The Bible isn't on your radar. The Bible IS my radar.
Hmmm ... interesting ...
We call that "freewill."Proselytizing does not work on the religious, the only thing that can change a believers mind is the believer.

Accepting evolution as taught requires total rejection of many parts of the Bible, including creation, the destruction and reconstruction of life, and the Fourth Commandment. I don't seen any scenario by which such important components could be false and the remainder of the Scriptures be true. If so, there are hundreds of other miracles which cannot happen in a purely natural world, so those must be false as well. Of course, we all know that the dead cannot return to life after three days, so there goes that "myth."...but then the discussion drifts off to and changes from creationism vs. evolution to Christianity/religion vs. atheism, and you'll get the same atheists talking about how religion and Christianity are evil or wrong or whatever, which will again give people the false idea that accepting evolution leads to atheism.
