Why there are so many denominations

[Drich]

You really felt the need to respond to me by way of engaging in exactly the same sorts of bullshit that my post addressed in the first place? Troll.

You clearly need to believe that someone is at fault, and that this someone is not you.

Not true I have Identified my own short comings twice and even asked how to over come them.

Too bad for you. Many here have "followed the path" they no longer believe, so you dismiss them.

Not at all, I simply ask; was it the path of religion/denominational belief, or a path based on biblical belief?

That we even engage you in a discussion is proof positive that we are willing to receive a message (isn't that exactly what we're doing when we have a conversation).

I would say 1/2 want to argue for the sake of arguing and smashing the will of a well meaning person. The other 1/2 have various reasons to interact. Some do indeed have serious questions and serious concerns. But most seem be looking in one way or another for some chink in the armor of christianity to reinforce what it is they already believe.

Your message has failed to have an impact, so you dismiss us.

If I did, I would not address your concerns line by line. I have only dismissed two people on this web site as a whole, and not even to the point where no redemption could be found. I do dismiss personal attacks conjecture and the general speculation, and try and focus pertinent issues.

If this is not your job, you seem to be attempting a hell of a run at making it so.

You misunderstand It is my job to compel those seeking the biblical truth. just not to make compelling enough to change the minds of those who do not seek biblical truth.

Speaking of your job, btw, you are going to sit there and tell me that you couldn't explain to me in five minutes or less how your fridge works, and what the differences between yours and your competitors is?

The depth of the frozen range, plus three types of reverse cycle heat, (Heat or cool in the same box) the ability to maintain with in 3*F of set point, with in 8 to 24 hours in a no power situation, under normal usage/door openings. all the while going down the road from something the size of a transit express to a fully loaded semi trailer, rail car or even sea going container.

Your company must have one seriously shitty sales pitch. This is exactly the situation your faith seems to be in to me.

I think this sums up our problem completely. You are looking for a sales pitch and I am providing technical data.

Understand I am not here to pitch you anything. I am here to show you how to fix what is broken in your ex-system of belief. IF you indeed want it fixed.

This is all predictable and tired apologetic shit. For a person who harps on about their faith and explanations being so different from that of others, they sure as hell seem to be exactly the same as that of those others you incessantly criticize. Maybe you should work on that?

If it seems the same then their is a reason. We share a common thread of truth.

Before you even begin to ask me how (again), just save yourself the trouble. You claim to have worked out the mysteries of the cosmos and god all on your own, but are incapable of working out a way to communicate the "knowledge" you have learned, or how a fridge works? I call massive bullshit.

Straw man much?

If they wish to let it be know they are free to do so themselves.

I'm just curious as to why you're looking here. It's not that you can't. You are more than welcome to, however, wouldn't you have a better chance of spreading your message to actual Christians? In other words, I think you have thinly veiled your mission to save heathen souls under the guise of spreading a better understanding of 'biblical Christianity' as you call it.

I do answer questions on a Christian forum as well, have done for the last 4 years. Most of the people there are of the same school of thought that i am so there isn't much that needs to be said. Their are a few crazies that poke their heads up from time to time, but the real interest is when a Muslim or former christian comes in and stirs the pot. Unfortunately the mods on that web site have made it their mission to preserve peace rather than allow an atmosphere that resembles one like this. Even if people were actually learning.

The biggest problem I have with organized religion is the need to preserve a certain atmosphere, over the needs of people. "We" are supposed to be a hospital for the spiritually sick, not a show case of saints. There was one in whom I respected for his efforts that was ban. After repeated appeals to the Mods I decided to seek him and people like him out. That is why I focus my time here rather than there.

The dude spent so long in bible study, I think he's trying to convince himself it was a worthwhile endeavour.

The problem is, you can study the twilight novels for 20 years if it floats your boat, but it doesn't make them true.

What makes it true is the full fillment of the promises to the believer. Not what I think i have gleamed from my own efforts.
