God probably does not have a gender as we would know it, He says he is the Father, and who am I to disagree with the creator of the universe.

I have explained this so many times but, I'll do it again. I came to God through faith, as I studied the scriptures and prayed, faith became belief in Him, or maybe I should say trust, and as I trusted ie. believed Him I grew into a greater relationship in which He has proved to me He is real. Knowledge of God comes through an active search through relationship of who He is. I've been amazed at the things He has done to bring me to a knowledge of His reality. I will let everyone know that those things will not be shared here, they are personal and will not be displayed for mockery.

No, and not hardly, I've defended my belief in Christ on many occasions here, so I've given my account as Christ would have me to do.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

As faith is not a reliable method to come to any conclusion, I'd have to say that you actually know nothing. Nothing demonstrable anyway. Care to try again and tell us the real reason you know these things, or are you going to persist in your bullshit non-answers?

Shit, that would be a fucking riot! Big Grin

Why haven't we been making better use of the debate threads when it comes to the more... loudly incorrect theists? Tongue

And you see absolutely nothing wrong, intellectually speaking, with believing in something before you had evidence for it?

Remember: if you can't show it, you don't know it. You just believe it really hard.

It wasn't a non answer, apparently it was one that went over your head though. Faith was the beginning not the conclusion.

Your conclusion came before your faith, and your faith led you to your conclusion. That's called circular logic.

We can do this all day long and get no where, so why do you insist on being Min's little brother, one Min is enough for any one forum, why not try some intelligence for a change.

Okay will do this, your disbelief doesn't change the fact He is real.

Your belief doesn't change the fact that He isn't real.

See, I can play this game too.

Then We have implications to think that this god produces sperm.

How is it that my conclusion came before my faith if my faith lead to my conclusion, mysterious man, mysterious. Confused Fall

I had no conclusion before my faith, faith is trust, I trusted that God was real and that He was telling me the truth through His word. This was the beginning of a journey that has lead to many conclusions and continues to lead to more conclusions.
