So the video evidence isn't enough to convince you? Now replace YOU, with atheist, and you will understand why an atheist does not believe.
What is your reason and/or goal for cherry picking bible verses that's irrelevant to the discussion?
You agree that faith is blind, and yet, you blindly have faith in jesus.
Sure, that's possible, but atm, there's a big indication (AKA evidence) that is pointing towards the direction that says you can't. Dodging, stalling, and/or making excuses for not wanting to, are all strong reasons to suggest that you can't.
Point proven.
This reeks of dishonesty, intellectually, truthfulness and/or both. Apparently, it does show that you did blindly believe it to be true ahead of time before deciding to buy a bible. And all you were looking for was a reason to convince yourself that your beliefs are not based on blind faith. So you went and buy a bible, the religious texts of your religion, solely for the reason so you can tell yourself that you did read your religious texts. My reason for thinking this way is what you said that's in bold.
This is more evidence for what I've said.
Yes I am and have learned quite a lot about your way of thinking. And I also think that you are able to learn. What's hindering you from actually learning and/or getting closer to the truth is your methodology. Continuously trying to find evidence for what you already believe is the truth, is the wrong way to get closer to the truth.
You've stopped proving all things when you're fast to hold on to things which is good.
The blind cannot see the truth whether or not their eyes are opened or closed. The dead cannot hear the truth even if they believe that they can hear. But the blind can hear the truth and the deaf can see the truth.
You getting angry and/or upset because your way of thinking and the reason(s) were used on you, resulting in you seeing that there are flaws. So you are either wrong about and misjudged atheists or you correct about them, in which proving that you are closed-minded and have already made up your mind, especially in regards to the video I presented.
Please present the evidence where I was name calling, mocking, berating you. Just because you liked doing that before bring a believer and apparently still do even as a believer, doesn't mean that everyone else who oppose your beliefs are the same. And playing victim and/or shifting the burden of proof doesn't help your arguments and claims. What does help, is present the evidences, which you have failed to do so.
Been waiting for you to present the evidence. So if you are done stalling, can you provide your evidence.
Trying to convince a nonbeliever that the bible is true by posting cherry picked bible verses will not in any way, miraculously convince them to believe. You're better off providing the evidence. And trying to "prove" a claim by presenting a reworded version of the same claim, is not evidence and will not increase the weight of the claim.
I would be interested to know if you have ever read, let alone studied, the bible?
Many people give a book report (meanwhile passing blind judgment) on the bible without ever having read it...
Fascinating that you find it good to reject the good...? Why is the good bad?
You sent me a link saying I should convert to Hinduism because signs exist. (The mocking came in that form.) When the bible clearly states that signs are not necessary for faith.
I said faith in Jesus is not blind.
I also said Jesus’s ministry is about healing the blind [i.e. blind faith in man-made religions, such as Hinduism, Mohammedism, Romanism, and all the rest.]
Why does quoting scripture bother you?
If you do not believe the bible is needed to state my case of why I believe what I believe then answer this:
2+2=?
And don’t use any numbers to figure out the equation.
Of course I need the bible to state my case. The whole hot mess is about God, truth, and if he wrote/said anything and who controls it if it does exist.
So if my ‘cherry picking’ bible verses bothers you, I am sorry. I do not know of any other way to speak about the bible without using the bible.
What is your field of study/profession? Science, math, law, teaching, history, medical, languages?
It is obvious that you have an higher degree of education.
And that you have studied English. But it is obvious that English is your ‘second’ language.
With your education, I am convinced that you had to study in order to earn your degree(s).
If one wants to know God, study must be done.
Just as you had to study your science, law, medical, history book(s) to get knowledge.
Have you ever told a lie?
Have you ever met any person who has not?
The bible states ALL people lie.
Guess what. They do.
Here is something that may be of interest. One of the many proofs that convinced me.
The birth, life, death of Jesus was prophesied over 400-2000 years
before he was born on 48 points.
All 48 came to pass.
The odds of that happening are something like this:
You go out and cover the entire surface of the moon 4” deep in numbered coins.
You tell me to go find the coin numbered 34.
I pick it up first try.
The chances of me picking up the coin numbered 34 on the first try are as close to nil as nil is.
Let me point out that the Jewish scripture was written and established 400 years before Jesus was born. The Jews did not change, conspire, nor collaborate on writings to ‘make it fit’ with Jesus. It is well documented that Jews hate Jesus.
I would like you to prophesy 10 points on one person’s birth, life, and death in one lifetime.
Prophesy and write down name of parents, place of birth, date, sex of child, time of birth, hometown, education, manner of death, time of death, and what age at time of death.
Make those 10 predictions ‘fit’ any child born in your lifetime. If you can. I will even let you have an hundred more lifetimes to get your 10 predictions...!
Joy
