Do Christians actually want evidence?

RE: Do Christians actually want evidence?
(January 15, 2014 at 10:40 am)Drich Wrote: 20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” [21]

Just in the context of the passage we can see Jesus nor his deciples were not trying to move a 1000ft mass of sand and stone. The deciples were trying to cast out a demon. Yet In the english we have the text reporting that Jesus identified this task as moving a mountain. This would have me ask what word did He orginally use and what was it's meaning?
The word in the greek is ὄρος oros It can mean a literal mountain, but again since the context does not support that understanding So if we turn to the Thyares lexicon we see the word oros can also mean (in this context)" to accomplish a most difficult task, to accomplish stupendous or incrediable things."

So, aside from your translation making the next sentence kind of redundant, how is "nothing will be impossible for you," metaphorical? It's a direct statement.

Quote:then nothing, now let me ask what if you Atheists are Wrong?

Answer: There will be Hell to pay. Devil

No, that's only if you're wrong and atheism is correct, you self righteous prick. What if you're wrong and literally any other religion is correct? Dodgy

Quote:again if you did not find God and stopped Asking and seeking then you did not follow the model in luke 11. You may have very earnestly asked and sought, but you did not knock. 1/3 of everything Jesus has to say in that passage is on the importance of knocking. If you did not knock you did not complete the perscribed path. therefore you did not do it 'my' or rather God's way.

And this is the dishonest lynchpin of Drich's entire A/S/K bullshit: the moment you even consider that there might be a failure state for his test, you're no longer doing it correctly. All he's done is posited an unfalsifiable, and therefore irrational, justification for his belief.

As usual. Rolleyes
