Unless you hear the Word itself, you cannot understand my answer. We are in two different worlds, with two distinct languages.

[From many - one.]

Have you ever wondered who "us" is in the phrase "as one of us"?

Unless you hear the Word itself, you cannot understand my answer. We are in two different worlds, with two distinct languages.

It really is a simple question. Why can't you provide a simple direct answer? How do you know the Bible is the word of God?

[bluepistolero]

Well it's alarming to think of any one man wielding political power at any time, no matter who it is.

Nice pearls you're wearing. Toss them over so I can admire them.

Nice reference to Matt 7:6.

[bluepistolero]

I am a mere man. I cannot give you wisdom. The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord, and, to eschew evil.

Also, Romans 10:17

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

I would have to preach you a sermon filled with God's word, for you to understand. You would actually have to hear it. Every Christian knows that what I say is true, I am not giving you the run around.

Have you, too, chosen to side with the King?

You're missing the point. Forget my concept of God. Stick with your own. (I'm assuming from your earlier posts you have one.) I'm asking if you believe in God, would it be a bad thing or a good thing for EVERYONE to believe in that God?

With respect, you are missing my point.

Short answer to your question:

it would be a dreadful thing for 'EVERYONE' to believe in 'my' God. I am not so arrogant as to suppose that 'my' God is even meaningful to anyone else.

This is called faith in fellow man, however often that faith may be disappointed, and a deep love of freedom.

Have you, too, chosen to side with the King?

Yes.

But I do believe in the science of evolutionary biology.

I think I'll pass. I think it is a simple question and has a simple answer.

He has sent the Comforter to lead us into all truth. (John 14)

I'm glad you've chosen His side.

[bluepistolero]

Then I would like to hear it.

With respect, you are giving a transparently evasive answer

Some posts back, you were happy to be associated with Dr E.'s assertions; I invited you to comment, if you wish, on some of the quotes, in #1002, from one of the authors in tracts promoted by Dr. E.

From the looks of it, I doubt you'd agree with most of my theological positions, but thank you nonetheless.

[bluepistolero]

Well, Stalin, Hitler, Charles Manson, Joe Blow from down the street. Could get anything. Could get King Solomon, but only in a theocracy.

I have no time to read tripe, even recommended tripe. Lists o links, whatever.

Dr. Eckleburg is a fine Christian and has already stated several times that he is not what some here are trying to smear him as. Knowing that, I would, yes, stand with him, to the end, pistoleros blazing.

OK, I'll take that as your answer to my question. Thanks

'Guardians of Morals, Ethical Behavior, and Homeland Security' sounds good. But it just doesn't grab you like Ayatollah does.

[bluepistolero]

Yes, it is a very insighful answer. God gives each nation the leader it deserves. Spiritual Israel got a spiritual King. Just like Jesus.

You choose to believe.
