    "THE LORD'S DAY IS THE SABBATH DAY NOT SUNDAY ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES

    Yep. False claims and accusations and then off he trots. Over and over again, ad infinitum. But I think that more and more of us are seeing SZ for what he is.

    Legitimate reasons not to believe in God

    I was an atheist for many years. Critical thinking, logic, rationality were the three components of my triune god. I am now a Christian. Father, Son, Holy Spirit are now my Three-in-One. To me, as to Anselm, God is a being than which no greater can be conceived.

    Legitimate reasons not to believe in God

    But I did not get what I asked for, because I asked for the context, which includes the historical setting, to whom it as addressed, or how was it understood at the time when it was written, or the outline and structure of the book, the chapter and then the paragraph.. 7 Ways to Understand...

    Legitimate reasons not to believe in God

    I don't know that God IS, but I do believe that God IS. You don't know that God IS, but you do not believe that God IS. My beliefs are those that it is appropriate for me to hold given the evidence to which I have been exposed. Your beliefs are those that it is appropriate for you to hold given...

    Legitimate reasons not to believe in God

    Have you changed your mind again? You have said previously that you do not know and indeed cannot know.

    Legitimate reasons not to believe in God

    Your logical fallacy in this instance is rash generalization. Try to work out why.

    Legitimate reasons not to believe in God

    No, Tb. Biblical context is much more than copy/pasting a few verses surrounding the verse in question. Understanding context involves looking at the literal meaning and the historical setting. It involves asking yourself some questions. For example; To whom is it addressed? How was it...

    Legitimate reasons not to believe in God

    It means nothing of the sort, Tb. It's time you enrolled in a course on basic logic. You really believe that God wants people to suffer? You have been a Baha’i for many years and this is what you believe about God? Unbelievable. You cast a slur on the faith you profess. As a Christian, I...

    Legitimate reasons not to believe in God

    Evil is certainly a problem, to say the least. What makes you say that it is a problem which negates a loving God?

    Legitimate reasons not to believe in God

    But what exists in reality exists in reality The point flew right over your head,Tb, as it often does. I was pointing out that 'What exists in reality exists in reality' is a tautology, as is "What does not exist in reality does not exist in reality".
