By all means, please try again with an emphasis on comprehension.

Meaning you missed something last time around.
Instead of giving yet another knee jerk reply that makes you look even more foolish, try figuring out why the above quoted reply makes you look foolish.

Or flat out ask if you cannot see it....
I'm sorry, that doesn't look like very convincing evidence to me. Maybe I'm right, and you have no evidence to share to support your claim.

Remember, its okay to say you don't have an answer. It's not okay to claim you do when you actually don't.

How about you present what you claim is my claim?
Well, I had said,
"I do not believe that it has been proven that the Sun predates the earth. Neither has been proven that the Bible claims that the earth predates the sun. Either case is pure speculation."

And then you said,
"And you wonder why you are not taken seriously?"

I can only assume that you believe my statement is incorrect, that you do believe that the Sun predates the earth, and that you do believe that the Bible claims that the earth predates the Sun.

Therefore, it is apparent to me that you and Shad are claiming that the sun predates the earth, and that the Bible claims that the earth predates the sun.

Now prove it.

Post #478 shows you doing just that...

I agree.
You made a fool of yourself jumping to the wrong assumed conclusion.

Now you are dictating to me a claim I never made based upon that faulty assumption.

Please be so kind as to reveal where I made the claim you claim I claimed or retract your lie.

If I said you made a claim, then you made a claim. And I did say it; Now it is time for you to introduce evidence to support your claim that I have indeed determined that you have made.

Yet the vast majority of your posts are just that, bloviated sermons...
Though you do throow in the occasional bold faced lie, dictation of assumed claims, etc..

Now you are just plain flat out lying.

you would do good to follow that bit of advice.

Fact is you claimed I claimed something I did not claim.
I have already proven that you made the claims. I have stated what the claims you made were. And you still have not provided any evidence to support your claims. I will assume once again that you have no evidence to support your claims. And until you do, I will continue to acknowledge that your claims have not been substantiated.

I'm still not understanding these two concepts. You said why would god invite someone who hates him into his kingdom.

He already has by sending his son. Why would he not invite people he saved into his kingdom?

But why do you think it is evil for God to bring only the people He wants in His Kingdom to His future eternal Kingdom?

I never said it was evil. I don't believe in god; so, I have no opinion on whether he is good or bad. He doesn't exist in my head.

Logically, he invited all people (John 3:16) to his kingdom not just those who don't hate him. The ball park is from the christian's side. For example, if I displayed unconditional love, I would invite people I love and hate to my dinner table. The meaning behind that invitation has no reservations. I want people I hate and love at my dinner table; so, I invite them. As such, I am displaying unconditional love.

If you're saying that god doesn't want people to come to his kingdom that hate him then quote that "god so love the world.." etc, it's a contradiction between motive and action. It sends wrong signals.

Those of us who love Him are loved by Him. Do you invite people into your life that hate you?
If I loved someone unconditionally (charity) it doesn't matter how the other person sees me (or use money for alcohol to compare). Unconditional love has no reservations.

Going by scripture, I'm just human. So to invite someone I hate even though I want to in to my home would be hard (rather). You're comparing god's unconditional love to a human. Unless he does't have it, now it goes back to dying for someone (inviting) who hates you (a sinner). What you're saying is completely opposite of scripture.
Is it possible to believe in God's Son, yet also hate God?
Though this isn't the topic, no. How does this connect to the topic?
Is it possible to believe in God's Son, yet not believe what His Son has said?
Yes. I believe that my mother loves me that doesn't mean I believe everything she says. I see god the same way. I see no hierarchy in spirituality even if god exited.

I have already proven that you made the claims.
All you have done is taken where I was pointing out your double standards, and falsely attributed some imaginary claim to me that has nothing to do with your double standards.

well, that and repeatedly lied about it.

I have stated what the claims you made were.
No you haven't.
You have merely made the claim that I made a claim.
You have not shown where this claim you claim I claimed exists outside your imagination.

And you still have not provided any evidence to support your claims.
I have not made the claim you claim I claimed.

I will assume once again that you have no evidence to support your claims.
That is the problem, you assume to much.
I have no obligation to provide evidence for claims you claim I claim that I have not actually claimed

And until you do, I will continue to acknowledge that your claims have not been substantiated.
All this to avoid facing your double standards?

And you wonder why you are not taken seriously?
