You do understand there is a difference between belief and faith right?
Belief is based on past performance. Faith is just trust.
If you want to boil down everything I know to be true you must also ask how I know this to be true. Experience and past reliable performance.
I don't have to ask how you know this to be true. You've redefined "know" and "true". Where? and what is my new defination?
Or is this just another baseless accusation? (Are you going to try and accusse me of following some sort of arguement formula or pattern and deny me to answer your accusation?) I say if you are going to accuse someone of something then they have the right to answer you.
Quote: And you have no "past reliable experience" either.I have several that i have shared in the past. Trip to Hell, God sending an angel to lay out my future life, God working with me through an AIDS diagnosis, (medical anomaly) God walking me through about 1 and 1/2 of Cancer diagnosis, (just got a recheck, still don't have an answer to what I have or dont have) God walking me through my wife's heroin addiction,(turned it off like a switch) God walking me through this business,
Quote:that I'm in No the way an objective person might.That's the thing sport it is not about you. Never was. My experiences are about me and my system of belief. In each and every one of these instances God directed me through a tough time. God says ABC and then in my personal life delivers ABC. This still allows you the doubt and frumpiness you need to maintain your douchebaggery, but gives me what I need to establish truth in my life and belief based on passed experience.

Quote:and the purposely false that we say "there can be nothing more than what we know". You lie, insult and misrepresent.
Omg the irony.. You accuse me of lying and not telling the truth.. Your only job here sport was to cut and paste.. and well read/respond correctly.
I guess that for you, is too much to ask.
What does it say about you when you literally have to change what I said inorder to defend yourself from the strawman you built?
here's what I actually said in context:
Do you really consider yourself to be the gold standard in a fully lived life? (there can be nothing more than what you know?)
That was me asking another member (because ironically he was showing a very swallow understanding of life despite his many years. To which I asked:
Do you really consider yourself to be the gold standard in a fully lived life? (there can be nothing more than what you know?)
Meaning to that member did you live such a full life that you yourself is in a position to judge everyone else who has come after you based on your experiences? was your life so full there is nothing more one could possible know/learn.
Good lord douchie, do you ever get tired of always being so wrong it make me want to help you?
How about try and mix it up alittle ask a question or two. seek clarity before you speak. or are you like minnie convenced that you will always have the correct perspective?

As Drich say's "often it is weak minded that need the quotes of others to frame out or try and save what they ineptly communicate."
Up date!
We have three deals on the table, and nothing going through.
Closing is at 10am tomorrow and we don't have the 8k (was 15k) that we were supposed to bring to close.
We did get a deposit, which was quickly ate up on another project...
The closing on the van for the deposit is supposed to happen yesterday, but found ou there was a co-owner and now she has to go through the whle process as well. Her credit has to be as good if not better than the owner. this usally takes a couple days on the commercial side of buying a truck/car.
