No, that is not it. I do not believe He had revelations from God "because he said so." I believe because of the evidence.
OMG, same answer over and over, yet you are not presenting any evidence? Would you just keep posting the same sentence over and over?
You have lost. You had ample time to present evidence.
You presented a claim. You say you have evidence, over and over and I see nothing but the same sentence.
I have a good method and I used it.
There it is again, a claim. no content, no method, no explanation, no logic, empiricism, rationalism, nothing. Your response this entire round is "No, you are". Pointless.
Some things that are true can never be universally demonstrated to be true. God and Messengers of God fall into that category.
You miss all of this since you cannot think logically owing to your bias.
1)Explain logically how something can be true yet never able to be demonstrated to be true.
2)explain what methodology you used to come to the conclusion that God messengers fit into that category and how you compared it to non-God messengers.
3)explain how rejecting a supernatural claim without proper evidence in not logical and what bias do I use?
4)you just admitted messengers cannot be demonstrated. So your claims of having logic and evidence are void. You also are admitting it isn't logic and demonstrable evidence that compels you but something else. Probably emotional connection to the beliefs.
Which would explain why you are not a Mormon or other religious person because all ofthem can be taken in the same way and none have good evidence.
There is no way to demonstrate that for obvious logical reasons.
Such is the nature of religion. If you don't like it then you don't have to believe it.
Yes, such is the nature of religion, it's pretty clearly a mytholgy and cannot shown to be real. So people emotionalize it and grow attachments and use confirmation bias to continue belief. exactly.
You cannot demonstrate that anything is true or false about God or Messengers, and that is the subject of this discussion.
I can show it's most likely a claim, I can show the evidence is really bad, and I have been doing that in every Bahai thread.
No, religious truths cannot be demonstrated like material world truths. It is really sad that you cannot understand why.
But just because something cannot be proven true that doesn't mean it is not true. What you have is an argument from ignorance.
LOL, you just have been doing the argument from ignorance over and over. In fact right above...there it is!
"You cannot demonstrate that anything is true or false about God or Messengers, and that is the subject of this discussion."
Because you cannot demonstrate it's false, that is an argument from ignorance. I'm so used to fallacies I just let them go by now, but this was too easy.
Religious truths cannot be demonstrated just like fantasy-magic realm truths. They exist in your mind only and cannot be demonstrated to be real.
Argument from ignorance asserts that a proposition is true because it has not yet been proven false or proposition is false because it has not yet been proven true. This represents a type of
false dichotomy in that it excludes a third option, which is that there may have been an insufficient investigation, and therefore there is insufficient information to prove the proposition be either true or false. Nor does it allow the admission that the choices may in fact not be two (true or false), but may be as many as four,
- true
- false
- unknown between true or false
- being unknowable (among the first three).[1]
Argument from ignorance - Wikipedia
All you have is an opinion about the evidence.
All you have is a personal opinion about the evidence. Repeating yourself over and over again will not change that.
Another personal opinion. We all have those, but at least some of us are willing to admit that is all we have.
You state that as if it is a fact, but it is only a personal opinion.
In my opinion, the Messengers of God are the evidence for a theistic deity.
Yes, you used argument from ignorance above.
Now you are using a circular argument.
"Bahai is true - the evidence is the messenger of God, since Bahai has a messenger of God, it's true!" Around and around you go.
Do you have to prove that he is a messenger of God? Why NO! You just claim it's true because he says so!
And that, is the worst evidence I have ever heard.
I know Bahai apologists know this and try to rescue him with vague prophecies, incorrect interpretations of prophecy (a garden on a hill?????), ridiculous lists like "his life, his work, he teaches about Jesus,,,,"
They try to write around the weird thing about how we are not animals, but he's just wrong. His science was all wrong, ether, cells, biology, evolution, he knows NOTHING beyond the year 1844 as far as any knowledge of medicine, science, anything. He is just a man, with man limitations.
All writings point to that. That is not an opinion. That is not evidence for a messenger of God. You are just allowing it.
I am saying the same things over and over because you are just making the same lousy defenses, not giving evidence and explaining why it might be real evidence, nothing.
This new point about "messengers are proof" is a perfect example of convoluted apologetics that are circular and say nothing but seem to fool people.
And I promise you if someone said "I know Mormonism is the only true new religion, because Joe Smith had revelations from Moroni and people who get revelations from Moroni are definitely speaking the truth and are chosen by God", you would say that was not evidence.
NOT EVIDENCE.
You don't have to care about truth. You only have to care about your personal opinions that you believe are the truth.
Again, flipping my words without adding any content, evidence, defense, evidence with explanations, just flipping them, amounts to a person bickering at me out of anger because they have nothing of value to add to the discussion and are angry.
I'm not interested in someone bickering at me, at all.
Unless there is a new point or information, I'm not playing games with you, which you seem to enjoy. I would rather have a discussion with someone.
At that, I will elaborate, truth can be demonstrated. When a man makes a claim of revelations he has to provide sufficient evidence to warrant belief. Without that belief isn't warranted. This is how you believe true things. You have left truth behind a long time ago and it's obvious by the way you haven't posted anything new in several threads and just keep making claims about evidence yet I've never seen it?
And your evidence is the same evidence you reject in other religions. So that is a fail. The conclusion remains, Bahai does not have evidence, at all. Just a claim.
