Don't mind me. Regardless of what I say, you will say what you want, which usually is inaccurate, but "perfectly accurate, and the epitome of truth"... to you.
So, I tend to just let you do the talking. You seem to like listening to yourself.
I don't know if you pat yourself on the back on...
Thank you.
New bodies not only makes sense, but agree with what Paul stated.
(1 Corinthians 15:38) . . .God gives it a body just as it has pleased him. . .
I often wonder why people think the old body is raised up and given to the person.
Since you don't believe that, I guess you wouldn't...
Can you prove that?
That's my point.

Maybe not, but if they cannot demonstrate why they put trust and hope in something that cannot be detected or observed on any level.
All those things I mentioned can be detected at some level.
Then, you must set that standard for...
Cannot be detected on any level, sounds like the same thing as blindly believing.
If one cannot detect love, then they are blindly marrying the person.
If one cannot detect hunger, they have no way of knowing they need to eat. Being unable to detect thirst, is worse.
If there is no way to detect...
@Clear I have another question.
You mentioned. "original inspired words".
Where do we find those? We have manuscripts - copies, but no original text. Isn't that true?
We were referring to faith as defined in the Bible.
(Hebrews 11:1) . . .Faith is the assured expectation [Greek *hupostasis (support, substance, steadinessv; (a) confidence, assurance, (b) a giving substance (or reality) to, or a guaranteeing, (c) substance, reality)] of what is hoped for, the...
Taking another look at your post.
Your last sentence is basically saying if something hoped for, is seen, faith is not required or needed.
I agree.
I think the way you worded it, though, has confused a few of us.
I thought you did.
Maybe I misread.
You are correct there. I didn't say evidence is faith.
Correct.
You probably didn't understand what you read. It didn't say that.
Is evidence proof?
Can you have evidence for something you can't see?
Are you blind to the fact that there was a meteor impact x years ago, because you never saw it?
I think you left out the scriptures. There's Luke 20:38.
However, I believe the scriptures do support these three points you made.
You are early for the discussion. ;)
I see your well organize information below, thanks, but I would not be able to address it, right away.
I wonder if...
If you want hypocritical, you need look no further than the above quote.
Everyone knows that when atheists here are faced with data they don't like, they start flapping their arms like crazy, trying to pull every distraction from the book - like you dwelling on the word prove, but making no...
That makes no difference. This - some refuse to engage with the actual science here but instead just repeat their biases and emotional assumptions... and many refused to answer the question the thread title asked - has not changed, and will always remain the same.
Hasn't it been that way for...
I have always thought of spirit in a material way, just not something we can see - a form of energy, yes, but nothing we know of.
I remember, years ago, telling someone how we are all connect to this "energy", but there are two different kinds, from two different sources, with two different...
