The earth [is] the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. - Psalms 24:1
Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? - Romans 9:21
Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? - Matthew 20:15
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. - Romans 1:20-25
How irrational atheists are!
As betty boop pointed out, the root of the word "rational" is "ratio" - the relation between two things. There must be the standard against which the other is compared for a ratio to exist.
But by denying God, the atheist stands there alone fist raised in the air - meaningless, futile, irrelevant, irrational.
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, [saying], Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. - Psalms 2:1-5
John was not like Peter who was not like James who was not like Thomas who was not like Paul, etc.
Jesus could have chosen twelve Peters or twelve Johns. But He didn't.
Apparently, your own scripture proves you wrong. "For [God] so loved the world..."
And man has no excuse for not acknowledging that God IS.
Sure he does. Your own scriptures say that only those who have been given the spiritual faculties can. It's not a matter of our will.
How irrational atheists are!
Yes, indeed, for not believing in talking donkeys, and tales of a fantastic world no one has witnessed except in a book.
As betty boop pointed out, the root of the word "rational" is "ratio" - the relation between two things. There must be the standard against which the other is compared for a ratio to exist.
I don't know where betty boop gets her credentials as an etymologist, but my Latin dictionary says ratio means "account, reckoning, invoice; plan; prudence; method; reasoning; rule; regard."
But by denying God, the atheist stands there alone fist raised in the air - meaningless, futile, irrelevant, irrational
As compared to a believer who is meaningful (?), useful (?), relevant (?), and of course rational because he or she believes in magic? Figures.
Talk about turning everything on its head...
The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God... - Psalms 14:1
Yet your own scripture says calling someone a fool puts you in danger of hell fire. Very consistent, and of course rational/s.
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
I don't know I am still waiting for someone to answer me.
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
That's pathetic, laughing at little ants.
John was not like Peter who was not like James who was not like Thomas who was not like Paul, etc. Jesus could have chosen twelve Peters or twelve Johns. But He didn't
But he implored them to think like one...
MASTERFULLY PUT.
