Circular arguments in Christian theology

RE: Circular arguments in Christian theology
No Rhythm I didn't. I said something very different and you made that up as your 'understanding' of what I said, as I pointed out to you, but sadly you repeat here.

I just went back and did that. It does make a lot of sense now. Perhaps I ought to write Wayne G. and tell him about the error.

Is all they have.

It's quite possible that some of them might be elliptical. You gotta keep an open mind about these things, 5th. Cool Shades

Ugh! ROFLOL That was pretty funny.

RE: Circular arguments in Christian theology



I'm sorry, I must have misunderstood. So, "because the bible says so" is a poor reason yes (in and of itself)?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Quote:"We believe that Scripture is God's Word because it claims to be that. And we believe its claims because Scripture is God's word.

Every post I make to Atheist Forums is 100% true. Scripture is not God's word because God doesn't exist. I believe this is true because I just posted it on Atheist Forums.

See? I just refuted their argument.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

No, no, DT, that's completely solid. Not only have you proven it to be true, many people believe it (count me in). That's independent verification and testimony right there.

Have you heard the good word? A very special being named adrian hayter suffered so that we might enjoy his garden. Unfortunately we blew it, and he became hidden to us. We're all cursed with "the absence of his presence" now. We've all fallen short in the sight of his haytership. Repent.

Sorry DT but he does exist. I will prove it when we both make it to the other side.

ah haha, "make it to the other side"? of what, the road?.. what happened, did you spot jeebus coming out of a mcdonalds on the other side of the road and you are waiting for the lights to change so you can introduce him to DT and prove your point? I know, those mcmuffins are heavenly, aren't they Big Grin

Wait, wait, I've got it! It's an attempt at a joke related to a chicken. It's "why did the Atheist cross the road. To get to the other side."

But until then I have to rely on faith that you are right.

I suppose we could kill you and then you could come back with samples of heaven for us to analyze. This would work to convince us that heaven exists. Would this proposal work for you? LOLAngel

This hypothesis needs testing. You round up the volunteers, I'll work on the funding grant.
