God can lead his people to the truth.
*sarcasm* Oh right, that must be fact then- you've answered everything, bravo. */sarcasm*
Obviously you completely missed the point.
God won't be limited by any man....
There you go again. What a waste of time. You asked a specific question as what i regarded as viable evidence. I told you and this is your answer??? God does this/god does that? Lol what a muppet.
Then you go on to say everyones bias but yourself.....
Actually i said a religious man wont search for evidence or the truth because he thinks he already has it, thus he is biased, (you are the perfect example of this). An athiest wont look for the truth becauses there's no possibility of it being truth. Thus he too is biased. The only person who can search is the man with the open eyes.
You confuse the truth with the christian demonations version of the truth....they are two very different things.
Eh? Confuse the truth? What truth? We haven't even established evidence yet so don't be so presumptuous as to claim truth. Not to mention im sure thos millions of 'christian demonations' disagree with you. I suppose you're right, they're wrong? Even though you have no evidence or proof? Just because you say so right?
which is all they are, that call themselves "christian" has nothing to do with the real God of the bible.
Aha, the
real god... i see...
God puts a warning "buzzer" inside a son of God, that goes off when some-one "coats" over the scriptures twisting them away from their meaning.....
Aha, like a doorbell? *Yawn*
But you have jumped to conclusions already about "asking questions" and you just get worse from there.
You need to start with the open mind you are saying everyone should have.
Thats a good idea where to start.
Ummm lol!
you are telling me to open
my mind?? ehehe. Asking questions draws conclusions, not draw a conclusion from thin air and never ask questions. You don't ask questions or seek you just give the visitor version of the truth which is non-negotiable.
But from just reading your post it is so full of pre-conceived assumptiomns about christians, the bible, and what God "HAS" to be.
Lol it's like the pot calling the kettle black. Look at the quotes above- who's drawing conclusions about christians, the bible and so on? It's apparent you didnt even read my post. You're the one who says 'god has to be..'. Is it possible there isn't a god at all? No? Then in your eyes 'god has to be..'. I acknowledge all possibilities.
I'm sure there is a lot of truth in the Sumerian texts......there is in most religious articles otherwise they would have no followers at all.
Last time we spoke you didn't even know who the Sumerians were... remember? You said it was all a load of nonsense whoever they were. I see times have changed. Have you read any of it yet or still just making it up as you go along?
Just remember...the devil, assuming you can accept such a concept, is going to access your human mind and manipulate your human reasoning to agree with his viewpoint if he can....That is what the bible says he has been doing since the beginning.
So don't assume every "Idea" that pops into your head is your own.
The same goes for you. I image the devil as one would image Father christmas.... Imagine this jolly big fat fello going round giving out presents... wouldn't you love him for it? He offers presents to the kids so they start to trust in him at an early age. He then somewhere along the lines does unspeakable evil acts.
The problem with this scenario is it matches god aswell.....
Offer eternal life. Then drown the planet, bomb citiies yada yada yada.
The devil and god share a lot in common. How can you know you're hearing god and not the devil? Because he says so?
This statement implies your mind is already made up....how can you objectivly judge anything when your mind is closed to the outcome.
I said 'currently'. Goto dictionary.com and learn what the word means. I am to this point on page 30 or so. If you read any of my prior posts i stated when i find the love and so on i will mention it.
Don't get impatient, or overly critical... and you will see it's the truth.
Im far from impatient and only criticize that which i have seen thus far, which is my right. As for seeing it's the truth- when that day comes i will provide the undeniable facts and open every humans eyes. You seem to be doing god more harm than good, perhaps he should pick a new spokesperson.
The bible said the Word of God is like a seed...
A seed won't come to life on your computer desk just laying there.
It has to be put in the right conditions of light and soil, and moisture. God is in nature...you can learn from it without ever reading a bible.
Oh i love nature... the trees, animals etc. Where's the relevance to a big invisible guy in the sky? And actually.... I left a cup of coffee by my computer- it grew life. Little light, no soil, too much moisture. I can claim god made the fungus grow, but unless i can prove or show good evidence then my claims are worthless.
The heart of a man has to be prepared ground for the "seed" of the Word of God to fall into.....then it will bring forth of it's promises to you.
If the heart is "stony ground" the seed will lie there until a foul of heaven comes and takes it away from you....thats Satan in your mind reasoning you away from the truth you could have had.
Or maybe god gets you to worship and work for him then laughs at you in the face when you ask for that which was promised. You're just assuming one truth with nothing of substance to show it isn't something entirely different.
And now..... we get back to jesus, kinda figures...
Mark 4:2
And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine, 3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow: 4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. 5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: 6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. 8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. 9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
It is quality farming advice, however saying it's satan yada yada is the interpretation of a guy 2000 years ago. For the benefit of argument let's say it is satan. Fair enough. I will get into it once im at that part of the bible. For now i'll just say whatever.
However in the case of my friend there was no persecution or affliction- you could just say: she saw the light. But whatever- i'll just agree with you, saves pointless debate over a small issue.
