Well, we can go through them one at a time, not all at once, o friend. I'm not in any way omniscient, yet I can help you through many of the issues.

We can go through them if you want! :)

Whats stopping you, o friend, from being a Christian?

I am a Christian, and I approve this message. O friend, God is great and righteous! He is life, and love, and all manner of goodness. Christ's death on the cross was a means to the end, the end being God Himself. Aristotle claimed that there is an end to which all things aim; however, I claim now that God is the thing to which all things aim. And in Christ's death, in which Jesus, He who knew no sin, was made to be sin, He became our propitiation. God justly destroyed Christ, with an eternity of hell on the cross, exchanging places with us, getting what we deserved, and lavishing upon us His own righteousness, life, and inheritance. But in this means, Christ became the full expression of God's righteousness and greatness, through His love! Praise be to God! O friend, God is holding His hand out to you, just take hold of it.

God is offensive. If we are wicked, and God is righteous, then what we find to be good will be that which God hates, and what we find to be bad will be that which God loves.

Can you set up a highly complex experiment to determine whether quantum theory is false or not?

Did you read what I wrote? I clearly said that they are good in their field. That does not mean that they are smart in other fields.

Not everyone on the internet is idiotic. However, most people are. The internet just gives idiots a stronger voice than the intellectuals.

Professional intellectuals are not usually idiots, when it comes to the fields that they study.

The internet is filled with idiots.

Communism and fascism are both forms of socialism. Capitalism can be apart of socialism or outside of it.

What is wrong with what I have said?

Fascism is the radical right. Communism is the radical left. Both are socialism.

Because the young are foolish and wise in their own sight. The elders are wise and foolish in their own sight.

How is "smart" measured?

It seems as if he is a consequentialist, which generally falls into the liberal category. So I'd say 7 or 8.

Well, if a woman is broke and makes the choice that stealing from her child is the only way to survive, then should she be allowed to do it?

Also, a belief properly so called, applies to everything. That includes reason; for we cannot prove or disprove that reason is reasonable. Therefore, we have to start from a basis of presupposition for everything, which cannot be proven. For example, what makes reason reasonable? What makes one believe that reality is reality? Therefore, everything reverts to faith.

You can prove a negative. One such way is to derive an indirect proof, in which you assume something and derive a logical contradiction. Therefore, because you can prove a negative and this argument is based on the assumption that one cannot, then it is invalid.

If one can imagine a maximally great being, then it is logically contradictory for one to claim that He does not exist in reality; for it is greater to be in reality and necessarily in every world, than to be merely contingent upon the world's variables. Therefore, if God is logically possible, then God exists, but if God is logically impossible, then God does not exist. God is logically possible: therefore, God exists.

If space and time did not exist, which is categorized as the universe and all physical things, then logic and numbers would still exist; for if it did not exist, then the universe would be in a state of non-existence, but because logic would not be true, also in a state of existence (i.e. 1=2). Logic and numbers exist; therefore, under your premises, you have no logic, because they do not exist, because things that are beyond space and time do not exist: therefore, your argument is necessarily illogical.

God is great and loving and wonderful and nice and caring for all of His elect in the absolute! God is great ad loving and wonderful and nice and caring for all of His creations in a more limited sense.

The Day of Trouble shall come and all those who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved!

God created even the wicked for the Day of Trouble so that His glory may be seen through the destruction of those who have been made for dishonorable use.

Tell wife you cheated

Point to a pole

My friend's birthday is the 22nd.... so close!

I think that both men and women should be required to put the toilet seat down. Its fair for both sexes and it doesn't cause problems. If the toilet seat stays down and a man needs to pee then he lifts it up, pees, then puts it back down. If a woman needs to pee then she lifts up that one half, pees, and puts the other half down. Sounds good to me!

Read Romans 9! :) Good night! I'm going to bed! God's will be done!

Okay, I'm done arguing with you.... We can banter over what the literal Greek translation is all night but here's the thing... don't pick and choose which Bible verses you want to follow and not follow. I have shared the Gospel with you... you can either accept it or reject it.... I would hope that you would accept it... but if you don't then so be it... its the will of the Lord

It is completely contextual. God sees everyone who is not a believer in Christ as evil... that is why I said, "to be seen as good," not that we actually are. In no way am I saying that I am superior to another person.

You do know that those verses are intended to show that everyone is morally imperfect, correct? The Greek word for poor is that of a beggar, and you have excluded "spirit," which is a claim to spiritual begging for righteousness. Hungry for righteousness too is a claim to not being able to find righteousness unless given to him by God, because we are beggars. Weeping too is a claim to not being able to be good. You are weeping that you can't be righteous and you mourn over your sins. All these verses are claims to the total depravity of man. Isaiah 57:15-19

I haven't contradicted myself. You may think I have... but on contextual communication I haven't. The Jews are not God's chosen people. His elect are God's chosen people, which included some Jews. The Gentiles were promised salvation through Christ as well. We are all evil. Christians are the only ones that are seen by God as good. Our spirit is willing to do good, that which is godly and righteous, but our flesh is too weak. Everyone is sinful and cannot do good.

So do I have to accept Hitler's beliefs in order to love him? Do I have to accept the belief that we should willingly kill every fetus in order to ensure population control? I have a friend who believes this... but I love him. He is an atheist and he full well knows that I think he is going to hell. And people need to feel as if they are going to hell, because otherwise, why would anyone believe? If no one was going to hell then there would be no point in having a savior.

The Bible was God breathed. Christians are the only ones who have the Holy Spirit within them... that is to say that we have God with us. We are trapped by sin in our bodies but God is with us in soul. He allowed the Apostles to write His words without error, through the Holy Spirit. This is why prophetic powers and performing miracles was a necessity. It showed that the God was working through the physical bodies of humans.

True kindness and love is telling people that Christ has come to save them from the wrath of God! Letting people have their own beliefs is a tool used by Satan to keep people living in the darkness that they have created. How much hate does it take to not tell someone that a truck is hurdling their way? How much hate does it take to let someone willfully remain ignorant because they don't want to believe a truck is there? How much hate does it take to not push that person out of the way so that they are safe? If you think letting someone remain ignorant of that truck is love... you've got one coming yourself.

In no way do I see myself superior to anyone else. If I claimed that I was superior to someone else then my religion would be works based, not faith based. Like I said, we are all evil. That is the basis for Christianity, not that we are better than anyone. For Christ came not to save the righteous but the unrighteous.

You have missed the entire point. I'm saying that no one is good. No one is good, including Christians! Christians are just the ones who are seen by God to be good. We are all bound to this body. However, Christians are the only ones who are saved because of Christ's death on the cross, we too have died to sin. We are willing to do good, but because our flesh, which is bound to sin, we are entrapped to do evil.

I still do not see how it is "low of a Christian" to say what the Bible says.

And how have I not loved yall? I have proclaimed that the way and the truth and the life is found through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, that even through our sin, which most assuredly brings death, we are dead to sin because of our God's wonderful mercy and grace and love! No person can begin to trust in God if they already trust in themselves. I tell you this, the only way for a man to enter into the kingdom of heaven is for him to deny himself and to take up his cross and follow the Lord. Praise God for His mercy and grace, that even though we are bound to sin, we too may live again through the death of our Lord Jesus Christ! Amen!

Define bigotry for me. It has a certain underlying connotation to it that makes the statement that "Christianity is bigotry" as false.

I never changed my point. Read through it again. I'm saying that no one does good. The only good people are seen as good even though they are not.

P.S. I cited the wrong beatitude... it was supposed to be the one about poor in spirit.

No one is good. There is no such thing as genuine altruism. Even our good deeds are like filthy rags compared to God. Christians are the only ones who have been cleansed by God to be seen as good, by God. Everyone else is bad. Read the beatitudes, in which Christ says, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." The word used here in Greek is total depravity as in even our hearts are evil, Jeremiah 17:9. This is the fundamental differing point between Christians and atheists. Christians realize that no one is good not even themselves, even when they think they are doing good. No one is good! This can relate to Socrates.... about how he was considered the wisest man in Athens because he was the only one who understood that he was not knowledgeable. Everyone thinks they are good, but in reality no one is.

So our ego, persona, and animal instincts, which are apart of our "selves," are perfect because we are perfect. But they tell us that we aren't perfect, which is a lie, which is not perfect. So how are we perfect again?

None of the interpretations have "ALL" in it, except maybe your own.

If we are perfect then how do we not know we are perfect?

You do realize that the verse you are referring to is talking about Christians... who believe. And no where in there does it say, "All." You have added in what you want to be in 2 Corinthians 13:5

If we are all perfect beings then how do we make mistakes?

Believe that Jesus came to save you from Hell and the wrath of the Father and trust in Him to save you and you will be saved. If you don't believe this statement, then you do not believe.

To believe and trust in Him. He is God!

He said we could become like him and do what he did, which is what i am going to be devoting my life to in a month,

Where? Luke 18 and Matthew 5's beatitudes are both claims to not being able to be perfect. Romans 7. John 1.

He wants us to be like Him, however, the only way to be good is to believe in Him.

Romans 3

You do know that Jesus said that He was the only way to heaven, correct? And He said that everyone was sinful, which includes your ability to distinguish truth from non-truth and the ability to make your way to heaven by your own merits.

1) Peter denies Christ in order to have compassion and mercy on the church. It was a predestined action in order to humble the leader of the early church. It was evil on Peter's account but God allowed such to happen in order for good to come about. Genesis 50:20

2) The Sabbath Day is still to be honored, which is going to church on the Sabbath Day.

3) Salvation is not a works based system but a grace based one. It is personal. However, you can only believe in the Gospel if you have heard the Gospel. Jesus addresses that at the end of Matthew addresses that. And Paul, who was ordained by God to speak for God, advocates the same in Romans 10

Jesus did not come to abolish religious authority. He clearly ordained Peter to be the head of the church in Matthew 16:18–19 and at the end of the book of John.

Evolution is a scientific fact!! I am offended you would question scientists!! You have a disregard for the truth! When someone disregards the truth, they insult me! They insult me because my entire life is built around evolution! My entire life is built around evolution because I don't want to believe in a God! HOW DARE YOU?!!??!

How dare you question evolution?! It is completely logical! We have no empirical proof that it actually happened but we can prove it by conceptual thinking. But don't get confused with conceptual thinking because it can't prove God because God cannot be proven empirically!

If you can't tell... I'm being sarcastic.

I agree!! Yet, it is very strange that they preach freedom..... which would explain why they love him... because they think that he is giving them freedom... when he is actually taking it away... or communism!! haha

What else can you say? Liberal don't understand they are hypocritical.....
