Christian answering questions.

[Joods]

It is absolutely important to know your background because you believe in the truth based on your own testimony. Did you honestly come on to these forums expecting the majority to believe you based on your word? That's laughable, at best.

No use. That bird already has flown after seeing that his preaching didn't find any resonance.

So it's gone? YAY!

Hmm question for the OP, what is the Christian stance on turtle bum sex?

"Eternity as it relates to God" - there is no afterlife.  There is no God.  
You will have to prove to me that a deity exists before any of the gibberish that followed those statements will have any meaning or relevance.  We need either hard data or have the guy finally show up and prove his own existence.  You would think that would be an easy thing for the creature that created billions of galaxies.

 It would be simple for Him to show up as show himself to you, but you would fall over dead at seeing His glory, what good would that do. God has said everyone will understand that I exist by looking at nature, that no one will be without excuse. So making up excuses is a exercise in futility. Actually I don't believe you have an answer to my questions, do you.

A) if god's glory is so great why did he show himself to multie people in the bible, especially considering as jews they supoosedly didn't have his full revelation.
B) if nature holds the proof of god it's awfully coy about rvealing the proof. Nothing we've found in nature needs a god to exist and most everything is better explained in the absence of god(s).
C) on exercises in futility, I suppose you could call yourself an expert as every effort of yours is pointlessly futile.
D) it's a lot easier to pretend that others haven't answered you when you stick your fingers in your ears and start shouting "la, la,la, I am bot listening" until your lungs burst. Again I'll defer to your greater experience, because I prefer listening to counter arguments and analysing them to dismissing them out of hand.

Ah well nice to see you keeping up your hobby of sticking monkey shit in your mouth and regurgitating it. Good to keep your interests going.

 I meant what I said, they have no real answers so they "made up stories," what else could they do to try and save face with their peers. They didn't use science or they would simply have said these things are not possible with the sciences we use. Hint: red blood cells that are not refrigerated will deteriorate within a week, this is a fact.

Unless the cells are protected by some other mechanism, such as refrigeration. But it turns out that scientists have a perfectly valid explanation of how those bone marrow fragments managed to be preserved:

Iron is an element present in abundance in the body, particularly in the blood, where it is part of the protein that carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues. Iron is also highly reactive with other molecules, so the body keeps it locked up tight, bound to molecules that prevent it from wreaking havoc on the tissues.

After death, though, iron is let free from its cage. It forms minuscule iron nanoparticles and also generates free radicals, which are highly reactive molecules thought to be involved in aging.

"The free radicals cause proteins and cell membranes to tie in knots," Schweitzer said. "They basically act like formaldehyde."

Formaldehyde, of course, preserves tissue. It works by linking up, or cross-linking, the amino acids that make up proteins, which makes those proteins more resistant to decay.

Schweitzer and her colleagues found that dinosaur soft tissue is closely associated with iron nanoparticles in both the T. rex and another soft-tissue specimen from Brachylophosaurus canadensis, a type of duck-billed dinosaur. They then tested the iron-as-preservative idea using modern ostrich blood vessels. They soaked one group of blood vessels in iron-rich liquid made of red blood cells and another group in water. The blood vessels left in water turned into a disgusting mess within days. The blood vessels soaked in red blood cells remain recognizable after sitting at room temperature for two years.

 So now we're up to two years in a controlled lab, no outside influences in nature that has proven itself to be destructive to all things organic. Now all we have to do is wait another 99, 999, 998 years to see if the blood will last the required 100,000,000 years.

 See what I bold above, pot calling the kettle black wouldn't you say. You can make all the excuses you want to not to believe, but at judgement they want count for a thing.

GC

There's a distinction between hitting 2 keys simultaneously - V's next to C - and constantly misspelling one and the same word, even when being corrected.

But that wasn't the main point, was it now?

 I have never claimed to be very good at spelling nor word usage and until now I've never corrected anyone about their spelling and believe me I've seen plenty, plenty of atheist who claim to be smarter than all Christians. The only claim I've ever made about knowing more than atheist is the Bible and I give God the credit for that.

My proof is everything and if you deny it you are wrong.

And a 'veteran' like yourself who hasn't sufficiently answered any question since you've been here is better placed to judge how exactly?

I answered your post in post #363, but you chose not to respond.  But yes, I think the religitard drivel you regurgitate is just mental masturbation.

Ahh, the old "you're not reading it with spiritual discernment" argument. A classic.

Except that most of us still were Christians when we undertook a serious study of the Bible. Also, "spiritual discernment" is simply another way of saying "I read it and my interpretation is correct because I think I'm guided by an invisible fairy", and ignores the fact that every Christian on this planet gets a different (to some degree) interpretation from the same sets of passages... especially given the tendency to "cherry-pick" favorite parts while ignoring the ones that are more problematic. Or worse, they make excuses for genocide and other inhumane actions by their deity, while pretending that we're the ones who can't see The Truth™.

As has already been pointed out to you, GC, the question is not "why do you think god talks to you" but "why do the Hindus also think their gods talk to them, and offer them guidance?" You're turning a blind eye to the commonality between your religious ideas and those of others whom you consider to be worshiping nothing, as we do. "Not my religion," you say, "It's all those other humans who are hallucinating their interactions with imaginary gods and making poor excuses why their scriptures are the True Revelation from God™!"

 You were never Christians so you couldn't have had spiritual discernment, the Holy Spirit will only reveal the truth of scriptures to the saved. The only time the Holy Spirit will make a revelation to non-believers is witnessing for Jesus through the scriptures. You can't see the truth nor did you ever, if you had you would not have left the faith. I haven't ignored problematic parts of scripture because I've never seen one. As for cherry picking the atheist are kings at that because they know no other way to discredit the Bible except to be dishonest in their feeble attempts. God has the right to do with His creation as He wishes it belongs to Him, He owns it lock stock and barrel.

I've never heard a Hindu say their god said anything to them, I've heard people here say that and I do not remember any being Hindu. I believe they are mistaken in their beliefs and have no doubt they believe in their religion, if they didn't they wouldn't go through all the physical requirements their religions demand of them, they have to earn their way into their god's good, in Christianity it's a gift, we can't earn it, gifts come from love. But then you know this I'm sure your wife has told you this.
