You know something I've noticed? Every christian has a different interpretation of what they believe is Christianity. It is really butt monkey balls annoying. If I get into a debate with a christian, I always try to get them to nail down their belief before hand so they can't renege. They will. They sooooo will. Some believe that you have to follow certain rules. Some believe you have to follow a different rule set.Some say the only thing it takes to be a christian is accept Jesus as your Lord and savior.But they all call themselves christian. You can't even go by domination. Most don't understand what makes Baptist and Methodist any different. It drives me up the wall! UGH... Its a load of
So what part do you talk about in those debates, do you actually know enough about scripture to discern what is right and what is wrong, if the answer is no and I bet it is, then how is it you can criticize anyone.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
