If you want to dispute the argument I just made, feel free. Otherwise, this statement has no basis.

(February 5, 2012 at 1:26 am)Abracadabra Wrote: Intuition is intuition. It's not based on anything. It just is what it is.

It has some kind of basis, obviously. If you don't want to share your belief, that is fine.

(February 5, 2012 at 1:26 am)Abracadabra Wrote: I could write a book on that as large as the Bible itself. There are far too many to mention. Plus you haven't even shown that you are worth talking with. You've already lied to me (see below).

However, just for kicks I'll post the following contradictions here: Jesus didn't even agree with the teachings of the God of Abraham. The God of Abraham instructed people to judge one another and to stone those who are judged to be sinners to death. Jesus rejected that immoral bull crap and taught people not to judge one another and not to stone people to death for being sinners. Add to that the fact that this God is supposed to be unchanging and you have a totally irresolvable contradiction.

First of all, when it says God is unchanging, it is talking about His nature, not how He acts in the world. That He is for instance, perfectly good, which will not change, but how He demonstrates that goodness is perfectly free to change. Even a cursory read of the bible shows that God changed His mind on quite a number of things depending on how people behaved.

Second, the covenants were changed when Jesus fulfilled the mosaic law on the cross. That is what instituted the New Covenant. New Covenant means new laws; it's the law of Christ, not the law of Moses. This is why God said this in Jeremiah 31:31-33

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:

But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

And this is what the New Covenant is like, that God gives us a new heart and spirit when we receive the Holy Spirit.

(February 5, 2012 at 1:26 am)Abracadabra Wrote: Same is true concerning the teachings of seeking revenge. The God of Abraham taught people to seek revenge as in an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Jesus taught people not to seek revenge and to turn the other cheek and forgive people.Again, if Jesus was supposed to be the son of the God of Abraham even he obviously didn't agree with his own Father.Let's face it, the stories are absurd.

Again, the mosaic law was for Israel, and Jesus fulfilled that. It isn't a disagreement; one set of laws was for israel, the new set was for the whole world. This knowledge is elementary, really. How could you be a Christian and not understand the difference between the old and new covenants?

(February 5, 2012 at 1:26 am)Abracadabra Wrote: And you refuse to acknowledge when I point out errors in your thinking.

If you're referring to the scripture you quoted, I rebutted your argument and you now have no counter argument. The error is on your side, not mine.

(February 5, 2012 at 1:26 am)Abracadabra Wrote: I accept the premise that spirit is unknowable. I don't pretend to know what spirit is like.

You have a spirit and you don't know what it is like to have one? Why would it be unknowable?

(February 5, 2012 at 1:26 am)Abracadabra Wrote: And as you point out the bible claims that it's God is omni-benvolent, yet at the same time it claims that this God has set things up so that the vast majority of the souls he creates end up in an eternal hell-fire of damnation and suffering.

God set it up to give everyone the choice for good and evil. Unfortunately, more choose evil than not. His offer of salvation is available to everyone.

(February 5, 2012 at 1:26 am)Abracadabra Wrote: I didn't. I simply realized that "Jesus" or the person who sparked those rumors (if such a person even existed at all) could not possibly have been "The Christ" (or the son of the God of Abraham, etc).So there was nothing to 'reject'.

As a Christian, didn't you love God? How did you get from loving God and wanting to be a preacher to not believing Jesus is the Messiah?

(February 5, 2012 at 1:26 am)Abracadabra Wrote: Well this is where you are lying to me. You're either lying now, or you were lying before when you said: So there's no point in talking with you anymore. I can't believe anything you have to say. Evidently you'll say anything at any moment in a desperate attempt to get out of ruts that you had previously dug yourself int

I think you've misunderstood me. You said that I was seeking out God because I was a drug addict trying to clean up my life. My answer "I wasn't seeking out God to clean up my life; I was exploring Christianity to test its truth claims" was not precluding that I was exploring Christianity because I was seeking God. Do you see the semi-colon there? That indicates that I was elaborating on the original statement of how/why I was seeking out God. Why else would I want to become a Christian?

(February 5, 2012 at 1:26 am)Abracadabra Wrote: See now you're changing your hole story around I'm done with you buddy. You're not worth talking to. You outright lie, and clearly you'll continue to lie in an attempt to peddle your religion at all cost. IMHO, you're pathetic.

If you want to backtrack from the conversation, that is up to you, just admit to it and don't do it under false pretenses.
(February 5, 2012 at 1:25 am)Sciwoman Wrote: The reason we ARE agnostics and atheists is BECAUSE we know more about religion than religious people, brotherlylove. You don't seem to realize that many of us use to BE religious people. We've given over years of our lives to praying, studying the bible, teaching, preaching, witnessing, and all the rest of it - until we took a good, hard look at it and realized it was all stuff and nonsense (to put it mildly). There is NOTHING you are saying to us that we haven't heard before, in volumes.

And don't you dare come back with the old, tired, worn-out lines of 'oh, you weren't a real christian' or 'you didn't give it enough of a chance' or 'you were never exposed to the real word of god,' because I will throw up (and maybe hunt you down to beat you with a bible). We've heard those condescending phrases trip from the lips of some smug, self-satisfied, holier-than-thou, judgmental, brainless sheep more times than we can count. They are the words of someone calling us liars and then having the gall to say they know more about what we thought and felt than we do.

It is time for all you god-botherers to get together and come up with a new script - this one is old and tiresome.

Hey Sciwoman Smile I don't recall saying anything like that. I am simply interested to find out what went wrong. Specifically, why you stopped loving Jesus Christ and then rejected Him. What was it that changed your mind and heart?
Psalm 19:1-2

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
