My point exactly.
You tried. you failed to find God, hence your faith/religion/understanding of God and the bible... Demonstrably false. Maybe not to the point where you where irredeemable, but so far God, God was not going to reward your heretical theology with confirmation of his presence.. Heck you might have been the next joseph smith. Wizard worship, trading good deeds and false facades for answered prayers... Why on Earth would God give a mandate to seek him on his terms then reward you for you 1/2 assed effort?
Quote:Meanwhile, other less batshit christians than yourself will correctly point out that christ, and christ alone, is fundamental to christian belief.As I said sport I did not say your hersey was irredeemable.. there are those who go a life time whole whole religious experience is faith based only. No evidence of God not a peep. and they are greatly rewarded for their great faith.
This however is/was not me nor is it any of you. we/I needed proof. in order to get proof we have to do things God's way to receive the Holy Spirit. Yes,Yes Christ is the only way to salvation, but what I am talking about is not about being saved. after you are saved I am talking about having a relationship with God. This is done only through the holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit only comes on His terms.
You want to be saved and blindly worship seek and stop with Jesus and you can have a life time apart from God. if however you want that daily reminder that daily contact, not only you gotta get you some jesus, you gotta ask Seek and knock for the hly Spirit as luke 11 outlines.
Quote: That's why we call the religion "christianity" and not "creationismanity", or even "Johnism". "Jesus"..for his part... didn't write a single word in magic book.because he boiled the whole religion down to two laws. why does there need to be a book about a religion concerning just two laws? that's because the NT is not about the consolidation or the setting up of a religion, but an effort to try and eplain how to live without religion/in direct contact with God.
Again christ is the key to that and if your mind and heart will allow this, that will be all you need.
However if your mind and heart demand laws there are many that can be applied.
but if in fact you want the full truth the holy Spirit is what you must find, which is what most of the book is about. Trying to live and work in the path of the spirit.
Quote:In any case, I'm well aware that pride is no stopping point for you, even if it is for christians.my pride has been beaten out of me long long ago.
why else do you think I limit my self to calling dummies and bholes?
Quote:..but that's not really surprising, since you aren't a christian so much as you're a dricheologist. You don;t actually have any way for creation and the facts of biology to coincide, but your need to believe that you have come up with one forms the outline of your religious beliefs, as opposed to the religious beliefs of others whose designation you've attempted to appropriate for yourself as a borrowed ladder.have you seen the video?
