Pro 23:9 still applies.

Ah, but the first thing you did here today was label us as arrogant!

Now that's what I call getting off to a good start!

evolution = idiocy

Re: Vampire Bats and the Golden Rule

Do you think the author/researcher might have indulged himself in a little anthropomorphism? Why wouldn’t the bat’s behavior be just as easily explained as a survival instinct? Did he stick around long enough to find out if, given a dire situation, they would have just as easily eaten each other to survive? Here’s a clue...animals do not have an awareness of “good” or “evil”, but only survival and instincts. Care to place humans in the same category???

Nonsequitur, no relation to your blather.

Christianity teaches that God predestined those who will be elect (saved) before the foundation of the world. Nothing you do, say, believe or think can change that. Or does God change his mind?

Again, we have a situation that can be interpreted two ways: 1. It's a post by someone who is almost completely oblivious of the history of Christian theology, or 2. It's a post by someone who knows the history of Christian theology but chooses to mischaracterize it for polemical purposes. The responses are, therefore, if 1., to try to educate him; however, this is apparently not possible, given his seemingly inevitable bent to a radical sort of skepticism, or 2., to ignore him. The latter, though, isn't satisfactory because, while there is still sufficient activity, both cognitive and conative, to come up with an argument against practically anything, there is still some sort of hope.

>> “One of Wyatt’s defenders claims samples were taken and returned to Nashville, Tennessee where Wyatt had the “blood” analyzed in a hospital laboratory.

“On another occasion, in an interview with Russell Standish, Wyatt claimed that the samples were studied in a laboratory in Jerusalem.

The contradiction is glaring.” <<

.
Sorry, but no contradiction exists; the two are in no way mutually exclusive.

What is glaring is your grossly unscientific bias.

Do we have a retread here?

Those who claim to be Bible believers know what I am talking about, or they should. Anyone who has read the Bible does.by kosta50


ROFLOL!!

Kosta, the atheist/agnostic, tries his hand at comedy!

[metmom]

...and fails.

[presently no screen name]

Yep! no audience.

No, just a common flim-flam man.

The understanding of the word of God is a gift of the Holy Spirit, not of your own intellect.

Galations 5:22-23

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Kosta:
So I have been watching this thread with you and the other psuedo intellectuals.

You are atheists, fine, I get it.

You require empirical and unimpeachable proof of God’s existence.

Even if you were to accept there is a God that would make your problem worse, as you would then be faced with the choice of which God to believe in.

Still, several of you make absurd statements and I just decided to join in until everyone gets bored, as we eventually will.

So where do you find Preordaination or Predestination of salvation?

Make it clear because the follow up is going to be good.

Then again you are probably use to this but let’s play along.

It’s been amusing thus far.

[James C. Bennett]

It’s a yes-no question because someone is either “saved” or not. There is no middle ground.

Now see the earlier comments, and answer them, if possible.

[James C. Bennett]

LOL, name-calling. How charming.

[James C. Bennett]

They all apply the Golden Rule to varying extents. Hence, the varying qualities in mutual co-operation. This really isn’t very hard.

[James C. Bennett]

JCB, notice your premise is always flawed and theirs is always correct. Because they believe so! And they are absolutely certain about the uncertain. Neat, huh?

Yes, I noticed it. Now many of them are just spamming the thread with meaningless blather, completely avoiding the questions asked, infantile insults heaped.

They want something in between a 'yes' or 'no' answer to the question of whether tribals innocent of the Gospel are saved or not. I wonder what that would be - "partially saved"? LOL.

[James C. Bennett]

JCB, have you stopped beating your spouse? Yes or no? Simple question.

Oh, so is this your answer to whether tribals innocent of the Gospel are saved or not? Charming!

Here's my answer: No spouse.

Now answer my question.

[James C. Bennett]

They are not going to answer your question because they realize the consequence either answer brings. So, they will try to deflect and obfuscate and insult and belittle in hopes that you will get, intimidated, frustrated, tired and leave.

Bingo.

Infantile techniques are a hallmark of their futility.
