“What is “spiritual sense?” I say it’s a smoke screen.”

...not as educated as I thought lol.

“You are just making statements of faith sound like statements of fact”

The futility of attempting to discuss a faith based text while ignoring faith...escapes some?

“Let me guess: because the Bible says so? Circular reasoning.”

No. Circular reasoning is a fallacy that could be used in a purely analytical debate. Some are not equipped to enter into theological debate since they are not believers. Theological debate between believers...or example Lutherans and Orthodox is possible as they accept the basics....as in the existance of God and the Word of God being present in the Gospels and Scripture.

“Then why do we have so many interpretations, all claiming to be guided by the same Spirit?”

A valid debate between believers, Christian brothers and sisters.

Speak for yourself. So far you have given exactly nothing, zero, zilch, but you have made some pretty definitive statements — without any evidence whatsoever. Besides, your tone is confrontational. I didn't invite you to comment on my posts to another FReeper. Yet you invited yourself without any intention (it appears) to discuss anything, it appears but to berate "atheists" and what not.

So, since you jumped into the puddle, either discuss your claims or leave. I don't care either way. But don't invite yourself just to pass judgments on others.

I have no time for charlatans whose only contribution is making statements of personal nature (such as "not very educated. lol") rather than making a single worthwhile comment on the topic at hand.

Did someone die and leave you in charge here to decide who is qualified and who is not? Or do we just have an overabundance of religious pride? How Christian!

You mean they accept the unproven suppositions which might as well be pink unicorns on Jupiter?

That's not what I asked. Multiple opinions means no one really knows for sure. How can they all be guided by the "Holy Spirit?" and burn each other at stake? Get real.
