In other words, you have no answer, except to say it’s been mysteriously embedded in some past post that I can’t seem to find and you’re too busy to make a link to, and that your posts are replete with logic that you never care to explain.
There are others who believe Jesus rose as a “spirit creature”. Perhaps they can help you out. I’ve noticed a few have been quick to cheer from the sidelines but have been notably silent in our discussion.
And don’t worry, I’ll be sure to add some extra butter, but so far this “spirit creature” show has been sadly disappointing.
I explained previously words like “truth” have different meanings to different people, that’s all. If “full truth” is knowledge rather than Christ (John 14:6) then we only have half-truths because we see through a glass darkly. But "full truth" is not knowledge developed from books or doctrine. It is Christ, and if we are to come to truth we should develop a personal relationship with him.
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
This is not Oeste being “deceitful” James; it’s simply scripture telling us what truth actually is. When we receive our glorified bodies we’re not going to come face to face with a book or doctrine, but with Christ. We will
know, not be
taught. (Isaiah 59:21, Hebrews 8:10, Hebrews 10:16, 2 Corinthians 3:17-18)
I guess I didn't understand the part where you took what he actually said and attempted to change it to something you wish he said. As to what he actually stated, I responded to on post
2041.
No need to apologize. It’s not the pennies, but the thought that counts.
Absolutely! Once again we find something we can both agree on.
Thanks James, but that answers none of the questions I posed to you. If you want to ask questions to members exclusively, I'm sure this forum provides a method to inbox them. I really don’t think the debate section is the proper venue for that. When you post statements or questions, you just don’t know who will respond.
Shouldn't this be something you relay to our Witness friends? They're the ones who claim all the Christian seats are reserved for them.
When have I condemned others? I condemn certain practices and religious doctrines James, but I’ve never condemned the people themselves.
My church has never prayed for that “glorious day” God will destroy all other religions so we can drag dead bodies out of their homes, bury them, and occupy the homes ourselves. Neither does it leaflet neighborhoods with illustrations showing how God will burn down their temples, mosques or churches. Nor do we publish magazines suggesting other churches condone pedophilia. Nor have I ever told my child not to play with a member of another church because God considers them unclean, or because God will be killing them and their families “soon” at Armageddon simply for making a “conscious decision” not to attend my church and worship like I do.
I’d be very careful about
who or
what you think I am condemning or judging. I have no list of “who” to condemn, but I have a long list of “what” to condemn.
Your point 18 was refuted. You'll need a new point.
I agreed with Yoshua. I did not "refute" him.
Aaaah, so you were never a student in class? I could help with that, but then I’m here to learn, not to teach.
