Yes, and it was very clever.


Quote:That's the thing.. Their is evidence. evidence in the testimonies of the people who went home and came back. I can tell you for them/us nothing more ever need be provided. Not only that God has not top shelved this evidence, He offers it to anyone who will simply humble themselves and A/S/K for it.

If you do not have it it is because you have not A/S/K God for it.


Ok boys and girls, we're gonna sing the "That Isn't Evidence Song" now! Ready?


Anecdotal testimony about personal hallucinations are not evidence for your god unless they're also evidence for Krishna, Zeus, and every other magical being you don't believe in. Every religion has personal testimonies that get touted as evidence. Yours is not special.



Quote:And again, you too could also see this transformation. God has not reserved what he has given me to a few, but to everyone who approaches him on His terms.


Yes, I'm sure if I were to suspend all critical thinking faculties I could see all kinds of things.


Quote:Indeed. It is found in the testimonies of those who gone and come back and we have confirmation in Scripture.


Again, testimony isn't evidence, and scripture is the claim, so it isn't evidence either.


Quote:The bible does not directly speak of this specific boy.

However In Hebrews 4:12 We are told that Christ Himself (The Word of God/A name given to Christ in John 1:1)
12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

In the end Christ will determine what this boy did and did not know and what he is responsible for.


And there go the goalposts again.


There is nothing in that verse about exactly how old or cognizant a person must be before Gaud judges them responsible for their own actions. You still don't have any support for the assertion that this kid wasn't old enough to be judged and found wanting by Gaud.



Quote:There are several examples in scripture of reincarnation.
I mentioned them in the above post.


I don't remember seeing any, but there might be.


Here's the more important question, though: do you have any examples from reality?
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
