So I got in trouble

[Drich]

4 you are holding up 4 fingers.

So, in other words, it isn't God answering, it's just you. Thought so.

Btw, telling someone you know doesn't have fingers that they're holding up 4 of them is even more stupid than your usual.

What happened to them?

He may have never been to that part of the forum where we share some more details about ourselves...

From all this exchange between you guys and Drich... I can see one thing...
Drich does not understand the concept of "confirmation bias".... at least when applied to his A.S.K. method.
And you guys have spent... what?... 5 pages?... 10 pages?... multi-combo-threads... trying to explain it to him... even I've tried it!... He just does not get it.

So... let him keep talking about his flawed method... if we pay no mind, he may just go away...
I'd like to keep MrsTRish around, though...

It's like I have to hand hold each and everyone of you through this explaination.

As per the above defination I get what confirm bias is.

How does a/s/k not apply? Because one is a/s/king for the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a deity apart from your personality, logic and ability to manage or create order/disorder In Your life.

Confirmation bias looks for evidence that fits a forgone conclusion.

How does this definition fail to describe ask seek knock for the Holy Spirit? Because one need know nothing about God the Holy Spirit or Christianity, to receive the same direction and guidance found in the bible.

Matter of fact by the admission of many of you, the Christianity I repersent is unknown to most of you. To the point that I have been labeled a heretic by atheists...

So again, how can the term confirmation bias apply if the result is counter the forgone conclusion of what many of you would identify as main stream Christianity.

How can you still think that any of what I said hinges on personal interpretation?

It's the complete lack of, or your unwillingness to demonstrate, any 'evidence' that isn't entirely subjective in nature.

I'm not willing to demonstrate any 'evidence' as that is not my task. My task is to point you to what you must do to receive the evidence God offers.

If you want it you will humble yourself and do as you have been asked. If you don't then you can follow the examples of the Greeks and convince yourself with self important reasons not to.

Maybe I missed it, but did you answer my car question?

God does not exist, or he has chosen not to share himself with you.

Add that to the list of things I don't consider even Biblical that I'd appreciate for you to address.

Be glad too, but From what post did you get this?

Do you know what Christ said to his disciples when they wanted Jesus to perform a trick on demand? He cursed at them and said no. He essentially told them they would be too stupid to recognize what will (has) already been done.

So tell me, how or why should God treat either of us any differently?

38 Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law answered Jesus. They said, “Teacher, we want to see you do a miracle as a sign from God.”

39 Jesus answered, “Evil and sinful people are the ones who want to see a miracle as a sign. But no miracle will be done to prove anything to them. The only sign will be the miracle that happened to the prophet Jonah.[f] 40 Jonah was in the stomach of the big fish for three days and three nights. In the same way, the Son of Man will be in the grave three days and three nights. 41 On the judgment day, you people who live now will be compared with the people from Nineveh,[g] and they will be witnesses who show how guilty you are. Why do I say this? Because when Jonah preached to those people, they changed their lives. And you are listening to someone greater than Jonah, but you refuse to change!

This is from my previous reply about the Tyre prophecy. I was going to reuse the tab in my browser, but the first sentence caught my eye, and it's quite apt as a response to you.

It's a sad comment on apologetics that it is no longer at all concerned with showing themselves correct. It's all about finding new and better ways of avoiding having to admit that you are wrong.

Since you were the one claiming that God shows you signs in your life, it's rather two-faced of you to turn around and claim that Jesus said that the asking for signs is the sign of an evil man.

To answer my own question, What I receive is not a sign of any kind. It goes back to what Christ said in the text I left you. The Pharisees wanted to see a sign, Christ rebukes them for not being to pick up on all He is actively doing. Meaning they were blind to all the miricals He had already done. They want him to do a magic trick on demand for them. To which He condemns them for not being able to recognize what He has already done In The Name of the Father. (He says it was because they were wicked and not faithful to what God had given them. That they could not see Christ for who He was.)

What the H/S does for me in a similar way is not a sign or wonder/magic trick of any sort on demand. It is how I interact with God daily. I ask God related questions and I get answers. This is the mudain day to day stuff the Pharisees could not see that verified the deity of Christ in His day. I do not share this to make myself out to be someone important, but an example of how God can work with very little, and still effect or touch many lives.

Imagine what He could do with someone like you.

Nope nope nope.

I'm not going to take an explanation from "apologetics press," dude. Seems like they might have a little bit of a bias toward defending the indefensible, rather than, you know, the truth.

Besides, I've already seen the kind of mental gymnastics your kind are willing to employ in order to make simple, direct sentences say things they don't say. That's not news, it's just embarrassing.

If your in over your head at any point you do not need a reason to not respond, just don't respond. I don't hold it against you. Besides I'm occupied with the half a dozen different direction this thread is Going to even remember what specifically the tyre thing was actually about.
