Is the Holy Spirit Misleading You?

[SteveII]

Then stop mis-characterizing Christianity in almost every one of your posts so I don't have to explain it to you. 

Like is said above. I am certain they do exist. What does that matter to any of the points you brought up?

Steve, are you really ready to go down on record as saying that you actually believe that there were/are people who, like the witch King Solomon consulted to speak to Samuel after he was dead, are able to summon dead spirits?

This wasn't like one of the charlatans we have today who claim you still owe them for a reading from a past life. According to the bible, Samuel's dead spirit actually responded to the witch's summons and cursed Solomon.

And this you believe? Well, yes, in that case nothing that I've said in this thread applies to you.

If you believe in the supernatural, why is it a stretch to believe that people can involve themselves in the occult and really interact with the supernatural? I don't believe demons have the power to affect our daily lives. But I believe that if a person really wants to initiate a connection, it is possible.

2. The NT was the last complete revelation from God (which includes saying that it is the last complete revelation from God until the end of time). It has everything in it to have judged the actions of burning witches as entirely contrary to the will of God. 

So, your unchanging god, changed his mind?

Why didn't he change his mind about slavery?

No, he did not change his mind. He started talking about Jesus in Genesis and it is clear that the whole plan culminated in the events of the NT.

What exactly is God's position on slavery? Do you think because he gave laws to a bronze age, recently enslaved, nation surrounded by nations that kept slaves, with no government safety net anywhere to take care of the destitute that that represented his position on slavery? I don't believe it did because the NT revelation clearly is in conflict with that. It was a necessary instruction for a specific time, a specific people that we cannot know the ramifications of a different system.

And HOW FUCKING DARE YOU lay that accusation on the world, you stupid, uncaring, piece of human shit. 

First of all, I don't believe that one's time in hell is everlasting.  Secondly, I don't waste my time in discussion with someone who doesn't want to argue respectfully and I don't appreciate being called names.  So talk to the hand.

Typical new atheist: angry, knows so little about what he is arguing about. Thinks the force of his inch-deep arguments are all that is needed to persuade the world of the rightness of his position and is confused and angry when Christianity continues to grow on one end of the spectrum and atheism languishes as a small sliver of the pie at the other end, generation after generation.
