Which only reiterates the uselessness of faith, for there is no logical reason to believe in the existence of something if there is no empirical evidence to support its existence.
Logic = brain cycles.
Proof/ empirical evidence requires no brain cycles.
"Usefulness" in the context that you use it limits usefulness to empirically based study. Are you saying that theoretical physics and maths are not "useful" to study? Should we abandon study in those subjects?
If usefulness = not thinking/ not belief but fact, then you'd be ok. You could "logically" know that there is a God'. Do you see the problem??

The full deity and humanity of Christ
The physical return of Christ
The authority and inerrancy of Scripture.
You don't seem to understand what I'm after. YOU point out a problem and WHY it's a problem.
Those things there are your blind assertions. I have nothing to defend as you haven't made any case to address.
What do you mean by the full deity and humanity of christ? You'll need to reference your biblical sources and point out what you think are logical flaws in the theology.
Do you like critical thinking? Here's an ideal opportunity for you to demonstrate some original thinking and ideas for us to work with. I like critical thinking and skepticism so will be pretty much guaranteed to enjoy the exchange. Hopefully I can learn something.
