It's like EVERYTHING you think you know about Christianity is absolutely wrong... You know the laws of averages says you should at least be right 1/2 the time.
For example:
1Thess 5:21 QUESTION ALL THINGS, And hold on to what is Good.
-Or are you intentionally wrong about Christianity? Is being wrong about everything you say (Misrepresenting Christianity or building straw men) the only way you can source the self righteous indignation you have towards God? If so..
What does it say about your conclusions once they have been proven to be so wrong?
Like above, You acknowledge most say God gave us a brain to think, but your self righteous judgemnent says Christian are forbidden to question God... So then this gives you license to pomp and parade a supposed hypocritical statement about somehow disproving the legitimacy of Christianity and God... But again In the bible we are commanded to "Question all things... "
This does not mean only question the questionable, it also means to question the foundational things as well, then we are to hold on to what is good.
Which invalidates everything you had to say... What do you do when this happens? Do you ever take pause and consider 'what if everything I think is wrong, or how could I have not know such a fundamental unconditional fact?' Or do you just bury your head a little deeper and press on?
I mean if you like, I can take a week or two if need be and go through everything you've said regarding your understanding of Christianity, and correct it.. IF you are willing to take a seriously look as well and change the 'facts' you are constantly spouting in error.
So what say you bob-ster? You ready to be held to account for the things you claim about God, the Church and/or Scripture? Are you willing to recant the things you said in error?
