editor-surveyor: “You embrace failure by following a denial of the word.”
I’m trying very hard to be respectful of my fellow Christians. Suffice it to say that I have absolutely no clue where you get the idea that I’m denying the Word.
Are any of you even reading my posts?
If this thread typifies contending for the faith and a search for sound doctrine backed by scripture, then I’m really at a loss. I’ve tried everything possible to engage in reasoned debate backed by scripture. All I get in return seems to be...
“IT’S EVIL!”
“GREAT JOB REFUTING CITIZEN USA!” (!?!)
“GENESIS 6 SAYS IT’S SO!”
“STRAW MAN! STRAW MAN!”
The apostles carefully studied the Word and diligently prepared themselves to defend the faith with sound doctrine based on scripture and Christ’s teachings (which are now also recorded in scripture).
If you are trying to rebuke and correct me as one Christian to another, then you better prove your points with scripture, actual quotes and explanations. If you aren’t Bible-believing Christians, then say so and we can all move on.
Either way, God bless you all!
What is? A lot of things, I guess. Did the grafting of that human ear on the back of a mouse involve the sacrifice of a human life? If it did, then that’s quite evil, IMO. What’s the endgame? That is the focus of the quandary.
“GREAT JOB REFUTING CITIZEN USA!” (!?!)”
Was it (a great job)? Refuting him on what? Guess I didn’t get the beeps on that part. Don’t trouble yourself with an extensive recap. Just some post numbers will do.
“STRAW MAN! STRAW MAN!”
There are a lot of those. Which ones? Guess I didn’t get beeped on those either.
May you enjoy God’s blessings too.
You have failed to present a single scripture relevant to the discussion; what is to read?
You try to equate applying the benefits of following the gifts in the word with the law. there is no connection, yet you repeat that like a jackhammer.
Its not a question of evil, but of consequences. The word tells us in detail how to stay healthy, and how to get healed. The consequences of not doing so is disease and early death, not because God wants it that way, but because consequences flow naturally from actions, and inactions.
The curse promised in Jeremiah 17 is not the will of God; it is invoked by the individual upon themselves by disbelieving God. It is a natural consequence.
Actions have inevitable consequences.
