I can see this logic-thing is giving you trouble. You seem to think that you can say whatever you want, claim that it is true, and then claim victory if others cannot disprove it. I'm sorry to tell you that this theory is fraught with logical flaws.

So I say again the sun can not be omnipotent it will burn out.Because you say it twice, it must be true. At any rate, if the Sun "burns-out", how does this in anyway discredit my claim? What if The Sun decided it necessary for reasons unknown to us? I'm sorry, but you haven't disproved The Sun's omnipotence my trying to convince me it will burn out. For all we know, it's part of The Sun's plan to do so. Try again.

Texas Wrote:Is that what you read? I don't see it. Perhaps its easier to respond to the comments of your choosing, rather than my actual thoughts. Proceed...
(July 4, 2013 at 8:39 pm)Godschild Wrote: Prove me wrong.If you would have re-read the above text, you'd see you did that by copying them. Where did I say the bible tries to prove God? Saying that you think The Bible supports God, is not at all the same as saying it tries to prove it. Are you saying The Bible doesn't support your God now? Do I need to quote you again? Pay attention kiddo.

(July 4, 2013 at 8:39 pm)Godschild Wrote: So do you reject the Bible in whole or in part, and why?
This is the best part! I can give you any reason I want and it's valid. I don't like the bible because I despise all books that have the letter "B" in their title. If you care to make a more convincing reason to accept the bible, it is on you to do so. Are you keeping up?

The nation of Israel is the only nation restored to it's original place after 2000 yrs. no other nation has come back after that amount of time, this is Biblical prophecy. Just a bit of truth from scripture..

I can see you are going to need more tutelage than I thought. Ok, I will entertain you.
The fallacy you failed to understand or even google for that matter is actually quite simple. You assume that because an event occurs in succession after another, that they are linked causally.
A) The Bible makes a claim
B)The claim comes into fruition
C) The Bible predicted it
You leave no room for either coincidence or for the operation of an outside factor which separately influences the event.
Suppose you and I were on a train, and we were both about to eat a banana. We go through a tunnel just as I take a bite of mine, everything goes dark. In the darkness, I yell to you..."Don't eat your banana, you'll go blind!". Do you understand? C doesn't always follow in every instance, your claim is of zero relevance to me.

If you have questions ask them but do not demand them if you want an answer.I'm pretty sure i've already asked, but apparently, I was too demanding. Let me try again...
How do you know anything you claim to know about God is true?

(July 4, 2013 at 8:39 pm)Godschild Wrote: Most atheist that bring up evolution tell me I can not reject without studying it, so are they in error also, or are you fine with that.If what you say is true, Yes. They too are in error. I don't care at all about what you study before rejecting. Evolution is not a fact, no matter how likely some may think it is. One should not pretend to KNOW something they cannot show to be TRUE.

I've never eaten fecies either, I tell you I don't believe it's a good idea, you can't come back as and tell me that because i've never tried it, I can't know if my prejudice is correct. You'll need to use logic. You've read it, I haven't. Tell me why I should. If you think they're so valuable, it must be easy. Why does it appear to be so difficult for you?
