Yes my church recognized the Holy Spirit and my pastor preached sermons on it. If my answer is not sufficient for you, why don't you simply rephrase it and ask in the form of a question this time? And try being direct with what you want to ask.(August 18, 2015 at 9:37 pm)Thena323 Wrote: Relax, Sparky...take it easy, before you burst a vessel.

You as a Christian, are in fact promoting Biblical magic. Christians, hypocritically refuse to call it magic, but face it GC...that's exactly what it is. The Bible clearly says that your god spoke the world into existence....no mistaking it. That is a spell. A magic spell. Without a tremendous belief in magic, it is impossible to be true believer. All that you seem to be pushing is magic beliefs. You shouldn't get bent out of shape because people can't accept that
magic is real. Come on, GC. Be reasonable.
You good and well know what I'm asking about the Holy Spirit, you are afraid to answer, for what reason I have no idea but the only conclusion I can come to is you're afraid to answer a simple question that a ten year old would have no trouble answering. Have you ever seen or have proof of anyone doing this magic you speak of, seems to me you're taking things from a child's fairy tale books. Read William Paley's book Natural Theology: or Evidence of the Existence and Attributes of the Deity Collected from the Appearance of Nature. By the way I'm not the one getting excited here, you're tactic is to divert from what I have patiently been asking.

I've never seen anyone doing magic, because magic is not real. I'm simply stating that you as a Christian believe in magic. The supernatural events that occur in the Bible and the supernatural attributes and powers you claim your God has could ONLY be possible by breaking the laws of nature. That is by definition, magic. You believe in magic and you want atheists to as well. You just can't see how ridiculous and unreasonable that request is.
