China is proving to be one of the fastest grown mission fields on the planet right now. There are many very hungry for the word of God and the result is that it is spreading like wild fire.
Quote:It's alot more than "simply a doctrine." It was a cornerstone of the faith for most of the past 2000 years, and it's a teaching that alienates and disgusts both Jews and Muslims. It's also nonsensical.One man's corner stone is another man's stumbling block. We are only responsiable to that we have been given. If we have been given over to this understanding then we will be held accountable to it and if we can not understand how 3 can be one, then we are not.
Quote:That's not what the 11th tablet teaches either. In the epic God decides to flood the world as well.Quote: Why can't these (The bible and the 11th tablet of the epic of Gilga) be confirming one actual event?They probably are. A localized flood in the valley between the Tigris and Euphrates is the most plausible. But that's not what the Bible - or the Church - teaches.
Quote:That's "toe the line." Keep questioning, there may be hope for you yet.Tow the line is a "Eggcorn" ( mispelled phrase that can take on an expanded or new meaning with the new spelling)
"With the spelling tow the expression naturally takes on a slightly more active meaning: not simply conforming to the rules, but helping to enforce or confirm them."

The "Tow" the line mean better suits those indoctrinated into their Father's religion.
Quote:Nope. I've been an atheist for nearly 10 years now, and I have repeatedly asked "god' to show me if I'm wrong.Moo hahaha, I mean you've come to the right place.
Quote:So far - nothing.Keep seeking/Give it time.
Quote:Once you open your eyes, you can't unsee what you've seen, no matter how scary it might be.This is true, but it doesn't mean scary will always be 'scary.'
Quote:If that's true, then what's the need for the 'cliff notes?'Ever heard of testimony?
