Why knocking is so important.

[Drich]

That is not evidence.

It is a circular argument. You are using the claim (the Bible) as evidence that the claims made in the Bible are true.

Ahhh, no.

I am citing the claim/promise in the bible, (Spiritual gifts/Spiritual Fruit) and comparing that to what I received in my life.

It cannot be tested.

I am Using the bible to identify the promise Eg: The holy Spirit and using the bible to show me what the evidences of the Holy Spirit are in one's life. Then I am taking these descriptions and applying them to the external experiences I have been apart of. How is that not a test?

If someone uses A/S/K, and they don't get the results you claim, all you have to do is say they weren't sincere, or weren't persistent enough, or whatever.

Hello my name is Drich have we met? I have been arguing the same position for almost 40 pages now, and it does not reflect your assessment.

In short Asking/Seeking brings one to Atheism. Knocking takes them back out. If you are still in Atheism you have not completed the knocking portion of the task we were given.

You have no way of falsifying the claim, nor does your methodology allow for a null hypothesis.

You guys who put all your eggs in the falsifiablity basket should read what this artical on Princton.edu has to say.

It is not the catch all arguement you all seem to think it is. In short falsifiability is only a valid precept when testing a scientific or the philosphy of science claim. Life experience, religion and philosphy do not require Falsifiablity.

Even so the claim being made will be determined true or false at the final judgement.
