To explain knowledge of God

[Drich]

are you a profit? Do you want to be? Die a marytar? Live and have nothing

Better than to die and be roasted eternally. If there is a God, it is welcome to make me a prophet with a lousy life if it will save me from the teeth gnashing agony.

theres a problem.. Prophets dedicated themselves to God FIRST, they set themselves apart from living as common man did, that is why they were poor. (No infrastructure/communal support)

Do this first then maybe you can be some wayward spirit's prophet

Same reason a Muslim stands with Allah.

muslims stand with Allah for reward own slaves in the afterlife. I stand to be a slave and serve the living God. So... No. Not the same reason.

What if.. Our/Christianity experience with God is not as empty as what you know?

What if the universe and all we know of it, including our memories, was just created in a highly advanced video game two minutes ago? You can 'what if' anything. It's not an argument, it's displaying your imagination.

actually I can 'what if' as a way to create perspective. You guys all think on a single level as if your tied to train tracks. You believe all who experience life can only do so on or near the level that you yourselves have experienced it. Therefore are forced to reason the same conclusions, otherwise be labeled delusional.. What if.. Puts those willing to think off the track for a moment in a position to maybe understand that life offers so much more than the emptiness that has placed you in your dark corner.
It allows those seeking perspective the reasoning to understand why I and others like me are not another freight car lined up behind a Dawkins or a Mayr.

And citing Luke 11 (which says nothing about never giving up A/S/King, btw)

It does have one perservere when one encounters opposition, and most importantly has one persist till he gets what it is his heart desires... Btw.

from the Bible presumes the Bible is a reliable source of information. Proving the Bible is step one, but you're assuming it.

your presuming I have presumed. This is an inaccurate presumption.

This recipe doesn't say anything about following it over and over for years until you get the answer you're seeking, or any indication that you have to A/S/K more than once or that it could be a very long time between the A/S/King and the answering. You made all that up, because it just doesn't work very well as written.

it does clearly state and illustrates that the asker does indeed follow through till the goal has been met. If you like and can cut and paste book chapter and verse...

Time here is irrelevant. It is about obtaining the end goal, not placing time constraints.

Yes. I just didn't follow the made-up version you claim is what is really meant in Luke.

of course you quit before you got the bread you were asking and seeking about.. Now may I ask does the neighbor in the story quit before he got his bread? Do you see the descrepency between how the man in the parable acted verses how you acted?

The great commission implies that God wants his salesmen to recruit as many followers as possible. You seem to be trying to follow that commission. If you or God doesn't want us on board, how about not pestering us?

maybe you need to identify this great commission because you seem to be confused about its meaning.

Never heard of the Hindu gods who incarnate as humans to interact with regular people, huh?

if your speaking to the 10 incarnations of vishnue none of them established a direct relationship with man.

Because it would take an extremely rudimentary knowledge of other religions to be aware of that, and ignorance is the main arrow in your quiver. If you meet God's criteria, I can't say they're very exacting.

out side of vishnue's ten incarnations I had to do a search do you know what I found??? A list of avatars
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar

In this list the vast majority are man animal hybrids, the avatars they take of man are in the form of sages/prophets to put man back on track. I spent over an hour looking from site to site and not one instance did the hindu God use their power to establish and maintain the type of relationship Jesus Christ did though attonement.

Apparently he doesn't care in the slightest if the things you say are true or not, and neither do you.

oh, the irony. I post links to 90% of everything I say, most of which is backed in secular web sites except when speaking on a religious specific topic.

I'm calling Bs here sport, you need to provide evidence that one of the hundreds of The Hindu gods, or one of their thousands of manifestations strove have a personal relationship with the men that he/she/it has created. As the God of the bible has.
(Because THAT is what is being discussed)
Not the fact that hindu God take the form of man to put them back on track, trick man, or slay him. Or in your ten min Google search did you not gather that when forming your rebuttal?

Sorry chief your going to have to work for this one.

If it's real and is going to torture me eternally if I don't, yes. If it's not real, it would be stupid to serve it.

what if your time in hell was limited? What if he'll fire burned so hot the thin fabric of your mind would be consumed by it, and what makes you, you just burns [/code]up after a few hundred years?

[quote='Drich' pid='728323' dateline='1407784735']no where in the bible does it say God is an Omni max God.

http://atheistforums.org/thread-27948-po...#pid728323

You don't even know what the Bible says about your god. You cannot even explain what you profess to believe.


Do you have book chapter and verse that says God is an Omni max God?

No, you don't. Because that is a construct of the church and not of scripture.

That said it looks like you are the one who does not understand what the bible says about God huh?

[quote='Drich' pid='779318' dateline='1413942683']you guys love to talk circumstance and avoid detail like the plague.

Generalise much?

Only when it specifically applies.

Aren't Atheists too stumbling on blind faith but hypocritically accuse us Christians of doing so?

I know many of the. Will take objection to this statement, but a safer truth could not be told. Many of them believe what they do blindly, where as if they took 1/2 of this blind faith and placed it in God, they would have a relationship with God stronger than the Apstoles had.
