What if I insulted someone in your family and told them they needed to take a joke?

I "unambiguously believe it's the 100% word of god"...

if you have nothing worth dying for, you have nothing worth living for.

Tell me how I could post consistenly here about my beliefs without truly believing in what I did. Maybe you're secretly hoping for my sake that I don't actually believe in this stuff, but I'm sorry I'm willing to go all the way and put my life on the line for the truth, just as you highly value...

I wouldn't want to test God to find out, and much as I hate being a wet blanket with all this doom and gloom teaching I'm afraid to say Jesus will come back one day to judge the living and the dead and it will not be pretty for those who haven't repented of their sins.

Happily lived your life so you think that you'll be just as happy in the afterlife? All good things come from God, that includes laughter, joy, happiness, security, friends, health, family and so on- all the things you take for granted. I wouldn't want to imagine life without God.

If I were you I'd seriously take that back...for your own sake. You do not know the God you're messing with.

I never claimed to have the monopoly on truth and I certainly never accused anyone of being closeminded. A case of the pot calling the kettle black no? Furthemore, when I try to explain the Christian reasoning for faith that's "shuttering the debate to a base form" but when Christian's can't...

You're right, if I merely believed in God for the sake of it, I would not be justified in believing that the Flying Sphagetti Monster is a completely ridiculous concept. I've explained that the proof for me is through God personally making the truth real to me, and confirming it through the Holy...

I'm only guessing, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I think some of you are vehemently criticizing Christianity (not seeking to truly understand, as very few have done) because deep down, you secretly fear the repercussions of what it would mean if God were real. You hide behind your fragile...

While in principle I agree with what you're saying, alot of people here are rationalist/secular humanist/atheist, so therefore might argue that there is no God, "truth" is a subjective concept and/or if there is a God, there is no reason to believe that he/she/it possesses "universal" truth...

It's what I've been trying to explain in the past few pages... The Gospel message explains why I believe in God, why faith alone is sufficient, and why I don't believe in the FSM. If you don't take it upon yourself to understand this basic truth then we're arguing from different perspectives.

there are plenty of Christian doctors and medical students out there, thanks be to God.

I'm quite offended you decided to make it personal and start caling names- especially when I tried explaining to you the basics of Christian logic. Have you even read the gospel summary to see where I'm coming from? You're precluding yourself from intelligent discussion if you're not even...

that's not true...otherwise I wouldn't be studying at uni...all we're saying is that it's not enough to understand why God exists. I've hardly heard of a person coming to God after doing exhaustive historical and biblical investigation.

It doesn't argue anything...only provides the gospel in its most basic form. Have a look it won't take more than 5 minutes.

I know it must frustate you to high heaven! Look, did you have a read of the link I provided?

Westboro Baptist lol...don't take their teaching and actions as Gospel- another example of how Christianity can be perverted.

Christ was so radically different in his time, and the NT synoptic gospels are full of examples. For example, he allowed himself to be crucified when he was the most perfect example of a human being who ever lived, even forgiving his persecutors when he was well within his rights and ability to...

I think debate is just the thing we need and I'm not trying to brush it under the carpet. But what I was suggesting is that it might be helpful, given where the debates at, to explain why Christians use a different system of logic, or worldview if you like, in order to explain their faith so...
