I'm not going to explain the difference to him yet again when he didn't fucking get it the last 50 times I took the trouble to tell him. There's stubborn then there's ignorance.
Back to you... have you worked it out yet?
Answer my questions then.
1) Without evidence or logic supporting your claims, how do you rationalise your ideas in your own mind?
2) By what standard do you verify your beliefs? Is it experiential revelation/insight or just faith in a doctrine?
3) If it is personal insight / revelation then how do you rationalise your revelations as more true than contradictory insights from other people who used the same standard of verification?
4) If it is faith in a doctrine how do you know your faith is well placed? If you use no evidence or logic to verify your position then how can you be sure the doctrines of the Bible are in any way accurate in any way?
