To explain knowledge of God
October 15, 2014 at 1:11 am
For the ones who know me I'm not back, I left with something left unanswered and thought I would answer.
Many asked me how I could possibly have knowledge of God's existence and the answer is the NT teaches this, Christians can know and have knowledge of God. You guys want to throw out that all we can have is faith and the NT just doesn't teach that. Our faith is in the hope that God will do those things He has promised to do for Christians, this is what our faith is about and the NT teaches this very thing. So in short those who are Christians will have the knowledge God exists and will have faith that He will continue to keep His promises as he did in the past. I trust that He is not a liar and so far His record holds true. Read the NT and find these simple facts, they are there if you have the courage to look and are as open minded as you claim, which I have my doubts about the open mindedness.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

So you are not back. Does that mean people should not bother to respond here because it's nkt posted with the intention to have a discussion?

Not that it has sufficient content to have a discussion about anyway. "The bible says christians can have knowledge of god."? Is that seriously an argument? Dodgy

God dammit! And here I was hoping to read something new. Exchange the bible for any other religious text (or any book) in your claim; they're all somehow true, huh?
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

So, it's a circular argument about a claim proving a claim, GC?

Ok, whatever you say man.

No no, don't you see? It's okay! The claim says that the claim is proper justification of the claim! So the claim can totally prove the claim; the claim said so!
