If you're intent of doing evil you will convince yourself that the truth isn't really the truth or that it does not apply to you for some reason.
Agreed. I don't see what the problem is, or maybe you just wanted to inform me and not actually raise an objection?

Your correct, the angels were created into the presence of God and yes later they rejected Him. They do not have a chance at salvation, they are doomed, there's a high price for rejecting God after having knowledge of Him. You need to remember the angels were the originators of sin.

I was speaking of what you've been posting, not that this is something others say. You're using the same argument with no regard to the known and unknown.

You would go this far to reject my reasoning that you would assert there's chair designs in stores that, by some miracle, got ticks across the board and are now being sold, even though they're actually faulty, and you can clearly see its faultiness without even having to try it out??
You're correct I would not sit in them, just looking at them and then a little shake with a noticeable wobble and it's no sitting for me. Trained eyes can save a bruised rear. Surely you do not believe every manufacture cares about quality, I've seen some terrible furniture out there.
Thanks, but no thanks GC. I believe you're intentionally being dishonest now. Any further development in our discussion would be meaningless.
