Quote:Some people hear the truth and can identify it as such, but they ignore it because their flesh hates it. That's probably the case for most people. Some people hear the truth and can't even identify it as such. It seems to me that that is where you're at, and no one gets there unless God has specifically denied them even this basic level of understanding. It's probably the case with many people on this site. Atheists are very prideful people, usually being fairly intelligent. Pride before the Lord always leads to destruction.Do you need me for this part?
Quote:I never asked you about salvation, mostly because I'm uninterested. I'm asking you to explain how we can be morally responsible if we're morally incompetent. This should be a trivial bit of minutiae - not an insurmountable intellectual obstacle. Literally nothing to do with gods or with salvation.(November 11, 2020 at 7:19 pm)The Grand Nudger Wrote: If you lack the patience or the ability to make sense of my comments, can you be morally responsible for failing to address my questions?
No. I'm not responsible for your salvation at all. That is God's responsibility. I can plant seeds, and I can water the seeds, but God gives the increase.
That doesn't mean I can't be held responsible if I treat you in a way I shouldn't, but I'm not your Savior, and as far as I know I've treated you fairly.
Nada.
