yes you are quite a confused little person.
You know, telling people that they're confused isn't an argument... that's just called being either a) a intellectual moron... b) a dickhead... c) a troll (wait... are you a troll??? Because If so I'm quite happy to accept being Rickrolled and defeat here)
Why am I confused. Enlighten me O great one to the TRUE meaning of the Bible.
Vicarious redemption though child sacrifice is beautiful? what an incredibly disturbing and revolting individual you are.
No... Grace is beautiful.
Its always funny to witness Christians blabber about the holy trinity as if it is makes an iota of sense. Did Jesus die or not? You folk say he was resurrected. Don't expect anyone who hasn't been brain washed from an early age to descend to the absurdity that is your thoughts.
I think It's actually pretty easy to understand. God exists in three parts, wholly the same, yet seperate. Father, Son, Holy Spirit.
Yes Jesus died... to deny his existence or his death on a cross is intellectual folly. And like I said in an earlier post... It was horrible and I am so immensely grateful for the fact that he chose to suffer that instead of me. That by Grace alone I am able to be saved. I am sure that the people in war who were saved by commrades who died to save them... such as men jumping on grenades... or anyone else who was saved by someone elses sacrifice for that matter... would find the fact that you find someone choosing to be sacrificed in the place of many disgusting... disgusting.
You have claimed to know, with certainty, the exact mind of god; which of our books he wrote, what he regards as sin, what he wants to 'save', and so on. With no evidence whatsoever.
Time, date, place... where did I claim that. Point it out to me. I'll take it back right now. I've never claim to know the mind of God... I only know what the Bible says... not holding a theology degree I'm not always right about the historical/cultural context as well as not being able to read New Testament Greek and a slight lack of compatability between English and Greek... I have been on occasion, wrong. I just believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God. And that you can learn about the best way to live and how to be saved through it.
My evidence, as I have stated again and again... We know Historical facts about Jesus. These match up with what is in the New Testament. As a set of accounts of Jesus life and ministry the 4 Gospels stack up like a truthful account that has not been doctored.
the context of the Bible? A fabricated document written by a babyish bronze age dessert cult.....you seem to think it was written somewhere in gods wrkshop.
............................................................:mad1:
I'm talking about taking a passage out of context from within the Bible. Albert Einstein said "God does not play dice", therefore he believes in God... are you smarter than Albert Einstein? See what I did there... I took Einstein out of context and misrepresented what he believes... If you understand that he's talking about popular ideas on quantam physics, you wouldn't use the quote in that way.
Indeed, the bible often contradicts itself; its the work of ignorant bronze age cultists....
You know I'm able to be friends with most of the Atheists around me... they are tolerant of my beliefs in the true sense of the word... we agree to disagree...
I'd love to take you through what you believe are the Bible's contradictions... but I'm afraid you'd just throw the answers back without looking and say "babble".
This however is not even remotely a contradiction.
Yes keep your delusions to yourself; don't bother me with your mania; or my children; or your own.
Of course I'm not going to talk to anyone who doesn't want to listen. But sorry, If your or my Children ask me a question I'm going to answer it. Granted I'll show them my evidence as well...
Obviously they are Christians....haahaha...if you were born in India you would be Hindu; your a Christian (like all Christians) by an accident of history and the fact that your parents are Christians.
This is the most stupid thing you've said so far. Australia is multicultural. I could have just as easily been born to Atheistic, Hindu, Muslim or Christian families. I think about 40% of Australians say they are "Christian" and maybe 5 - 10% are bible believing evangelical Christians, the rest being Christmas, Easter, Wedding, Funeral and christening Christians... or some degree thereof
Thats what they all say....
Yes because in many cases, Children of Christian parents go "why on earth am I doing this? This is all i know, how do I know it is right?" And a lot of us go searching. Some choose to reject their faith, others like me choose to embrace it as their own. Granted a lot of them look at rather pathetic evidence that is biased one way or the other. I started with the origin of species, Nietzsche and the Bible... and went from there. What have you read on the topic?
members of cults always claim to have 'done their research', obviously you haven't, otherwise you would be laughing at the Church instead of bowing in submission.
There is no concrete proof (such as 1 + 1 = 2) for the existence of God. But neither is there concrete proof against. One can look at the Universe and existence and the holes in science and philosophy and our understanding of said universe and come to one of 2 conclusion. This is all that we are. This is not all that we are. The second is the most basic article of faith.
Who are you, really? And why are you here? You claim to know the working of the Universe so much so that your conclusion of the Universe is right and mine is wrong... back it up! Go on, show me Oh mighty one why your conclusion is so superior!
I'm a moron because I can easily refute the silly claims of your bronze age cult? Yea k.
How old are you? 142?
You actually haven't refuted anything. You've just sat on your perceived high horse and gone "NA NA NA NA NA You're WRONG! You're SOOOOO WRONG. HA HA HA I'm so smart and you're so dumb..."
evidence... now.
yes it is my duty to destroy your bad ideas
So you're on an Atheistic evangelistic crusade now? But I thought spreading your ideas to those who don't want to is immoral? Well at least that's the impression you give.
Grown up? You are the child; the needy child who needs to be a pet, who needs to submit to a 'father'.
I'm still waiting on an adult argument from you...
You are incapable of having a debate; because you, before anything has been established, know that you are right. If not; prove it, answer the following; What information would convince you to reject Christianity and the existence of a God?
Simple. Disprove that Jesus did what the Bible says he did. I've already said that. Christianity is based on Historical events. Without which, all is meaningless... and I can have all the premarital orgies I want and get as pissed as I want whenever I want
