Part 9 of Post Your Tough Questions Regarding Christianity

don't hold your breath... you might suffocate.

 

Aren't I simply answering you?
Oops, sorry.
I keep forgetting you are irrational.

 

Oh, I know better than to wait for you to show you have a lick of sense or common honesty to you.

 

What specifically are you suggesting. Use terminology That is not so vague so that there won't be any misunderstanding of what you are wanting to say.

 

"Oops" That is right. I don't make excuses for my behavior.

 

No matter how egregious.
LOL!

 

Then you should delete your account for you have no purpose for being here.

 

Well, I just responded to one of those errors of my own making... so.. I guess I am in human form... tsk tsk.

 

Well although the Hebrews wrote the stories we must be reminded that they were inspired to write it by the Holy Spirit. So essentially it was the work of God. He used the Hebrews as a vehicle to write His best selling book, a book that is the number one best-seller of all time.

First, God originated the message. He then communicated it to those whom He wanted it proclaimed. All of this was eventually committed to writing. However it is the writings, not the writers, which the Bible puts the emphasis upon.

No human being/beings could ever craft this magnificent, brilliant, awesome, based on truth book that Almighty God has crafted. It can only be the work of a divine being.

The Bible consist of real-life historical accounts as a matter of fact the documents of the whole Bible besides the real-life historical accounts also consist of law books, poetry, wisdom writings, prophecies, eye witness accounts and letters. All this was written and compiled over a period of about 1,200 years.

God used many authors--as many as forty from varied backgrounds including statesmen, historians, leaders, prophets-who were priests, shepherds and farmers, governors, kings, a tax collector, a physician, a business man, a fisherman, and a theologically trained academic.

Most of these people never met and yet there is a fundamental unity about the whole Bible. This is most remarkable and very compelling, and leads to the conclusion that the Bible is much more than just a human document. The Bible is not a set of men's ideas about God, but a revelation of Himself by God to man.

So let's give credit and honor to where it rightfully belongs, the Oscar goes to none other than Almighty God, the Creator of the universe and everything that exists.

Sorry but that is just your biased opinion. Critics such as yourself misinterpret the bible, that is the source from where these myriad of errors originate from.

For there are a myriad of reasonable logical plausible explanations of why critics like yourself misinterpret the bible but of course it is always met with denials.

Well you are free to believe, disbelieve anything you want. Our dearly beloved Lord gave all of us the gift of free will.

Believers don't find it hard to believe the fantastic, awesome, mind boggling stories of the Holy Bible that the Best Writer of all time gave us, simply because they know when it comes to Almighty God, the Creator, nothing is impossible for Him.

 

Likewise, so should you. Aren't opinions nice?

 

No, but seriously, we already have come to the conclusion that you're irrational and illogical, by your own admission no less. And that we are incapable of compelling someone with those qualities of our arguments' merits using logical and rational reasoning, just as you can't convince others using intuition or whatever methodology you ascribe to. So, what are you doing here besides derailing threads and engaging in arguments about semantics?

What really floors me is that many of the arguments you present rely on logic, empiricism, rational reasoning, and then when someone presents a counter-argument you start claiming that you don't have to abide by the methodologies you've already employed. It's the height of cheap tactics and intellectual dishonesty.

 

If your so hard headed that you won't let logic or facts change your mind then there is no point of being here because here is where people change other peoples minds with logic and facts. Since you have a closed mind why are you bothering to read anybody's post?

 

Place him on ignore....I know this forum has become a far better place since I did.

 

same here! best thing I've done

 

The problem is that he floods threads regardless.

 

No. He does.
He once openly admitted that one of his reasons for coming on is to watch people get upset by him. He is the devout Christian that lives to create other's misery.

 

It has also been pointed out how science and logic cannot disprove something of a theological nature.
So, this new question can become a part of the record also: " So, what are you doing here besides derailing threads and engaging in arguments about me and my methodologies?" On the greater percentage of the events where I have become involved in a thread, I got involved by merely seeking clarification of something already stated. Then whammo ... the thread goes way off topic... not because I have taken the thread off topic, but rather because you and others seem threatened by the necessity of answering my questions in a civilized and intelligent manner.

My use of logic, empiricism, rational reasoning is due to my recognition that you and some others can relate only to those type conditions. Just like I use cigarettes, knowing that they are bad for my health, I still use them. In this instant scenario I don't have to believe in or accept those methods as 'true', but you and some others do accept them as not only true, but also valid. More interesting in your post is your admission that I do use logic and reason and empiricism, therefore, some of the claims by others regarding my non-use of those elements are false claims, else your claim that I do use them is false. As for my not being bound by that/those forms of logic, empiricism, reason, is already established and admitted by you and others. I have spoken no falsehood by merely using a tool that you can relate to. It is an aid which I use to assist you in your vain and off topic quest to better understand me. You call it the height of cheap tactics and intellectual dishonesty. Well, I don't believe you are gonna find any statistics out there to validate that comparison, so I will just let it go as another one of those opinions that has not been validated.

 

Then you admit that a purpose you have here is to "change other peoples minds with logic and facts." OK. Then why have you not presented any argument or evidence that is so compelling to my mind as to make me accept those arguments and evidence as 'true"? In a fashion you are evangelizing and proselytizing your religion and or dogma in a hope that your faith is stronger than that of those others. That in itself is very telling with regard to your belief system.

 

indeed it has. one less person that I have to contend with.

 

Well thank you,,,,, I guess... But that misery is about par with the misery that the Theists on this forum have to deal with.

BTW: I don't believe you got the wording quite correct in the stated reason that I previously made. Do you per chance have a link to that particular post wherein it is alleged that I stated what you indicated?

 

because you are a loon and won't let logic or facts sway your minds. No amount of logic or facts would be enough for you. Therefore you have no purpose being here other than to troll and therefore should be banned.

 

Well, there was one poster (other than me) who disagreed with you. So who is right? Me, you, or the other guy, or maybe some other entity? Well, I am certain that if the moderators felt the need to do so, they would. The way I see it is this: If you and some others were to focus on the topic of threads as opposed to worrying about what I am doing, there would be less activity concerning what I am doing and more discussion on the topic of a particular thread. Have a nice evening.

 

we live in hope.

Hey crank! How ya doing tonight?

 

Yeah! Like I did not have any help from you and the others during that flooding process. Uh Huhhhh.
