Christian answering questions too!

[brewer]

Hello.

You're here for your part in the great commission? Care to expand on that please?

Is the old testament the word of your god and is it ( it's directions) to be followed exactly as written?

Can you provide any direct evidence/proof that your god exists?

[PETE_ROSE]

but there seems to be the an inferring that I lack intelligence when my conclusions differ from others here.

Nope, you simply didn't offer what you believe so far. There's also a distinction between lack of intelligence and ignorance. An intelligent person can still be ignorant.

So far I reserved judgment on both counts, since you simply didn't state what you believe and what you hold to be true in lights of science, and why.

Again, sola scriptura doesn't cut it. Not by a long chalk. That can mean anything and nothing.

It would take weeks to state every theological point I stand on.  The question was posed to me about which of the myriad of denominations of Christianity I subscribe to.  I thought sola scriptura would suffice in this matter as it is more accurate than saying I am a Catholic, Mormon or a bible thumping wingnut.

Why can't god tell everyone which Abrahamic religion, or version of that Abrahamic religion, is the correct one?

[Minimalist]

or a bible thumping wingnut.

That would have been my first guess.


If I cared enough to guess.

If you are familiar with the bible you know that Christians are commanded to take Jesus' message to the world.  This does not appeal to me on from a selfish perspective, there are many things I would prefer to be doing.  I chose this forum because it seemed a good place to start, and I chose this medium because I am shy,  did not want to move to Africa as a missionary or attempt to preach on the street.    
 
Yes, I consider the Old Testament to be the word of the Christian God.  No.  
 
No.  I would ask that if we as humans did not have a consciousness, then what is the point of all that we see around us in the universe.  If we aren’t here to observe it, what’s it here for?

Who do you believe Christ is? 

I don't believe the Biblical Christ existed but I think perhaps there might have been someone called Jesus, or something similar, or many similar messianic real people, who inspired the writers of the Bible to write the story of Jesus.

P.S. You quoted me and said "I can see you're Muslim sir", I am not Muslim.

We don't need every theological point, so thanks for not listing a wall of text.  As others have said, we have more trust for a denomination clearly stated, because other theists have tried to remain "neutral" in order to point out interdenominational doctrine "errors".  It's just a way to insure that you can move the goalposts when challenged on a point. 
Of course, you also started out insisting on the KJV.  This probably means that you think it was at least inspired by god, if not inerrant.  Many of us hold the position that the wholly babble, regardless of version, strikes a balance between absurdity and pure evil.

And I asked you why you seem to think we have never read the stories contained in that KJV?  Most of us have studied it extensively.

PETE ROSE is an anagram of TERSE POE.


Coincidence?

[ignoramus]

Dr Fuzz. Have you studied it "prayeringly"?

No it doesn't. For the simple reason that it doesn't say anything on where you stand as far as science is concerned and what "sola" actually means. Literalist or interpreting at your leisure? It also doesn't say if "sola" means both books or only the new one. That, of course doesn't cover any shades of grey between alpha and omega.

So, in short, at least I don't know who I'm talking to.
