It has everything to do with research. You believe what people tell you, I get that. I however, do NOT believe everything I see and hear.
If you can't do your own research, then how do you know if the points are true or not??? Are you just trollin'?
Yes I can do my own research, and no I am not trolling. The 9 points are common things I have heard Christians say on this forum and around the internet. Also the " how do you know if the points are true or not?" bit is why I am asking YOU!!!!. I want you to tell me if they're right or wrong and correct me, I want to know if you really believe them and if they're accurate or not. I want to see things from your eyes that not been corrupted by somebody else with their own goals and your view on those points, That's the whole point of the thread. Do you get it now? Or do I have to do a complete essay on what thread was about?
