What? It does not mean, having preconceived ideas, and trying to support those ideas with arguments you favor?Maybe understand what terms like "confirmation bias" mean before you use them in conversation.
Looking... the tendency to interpret new evidence as confirmation of one's existing beliefs or theories.
Yup. Guess for you, that might require some spelling out.
The shooter is not God. Where did you get such an erroneous idea?No, they didn't. In this analogy, the person who sacrifices themselves - Jesus - and the shooter - God - are separate people each acting of their own volition.
You believe that? I'm confused then.... but I'll see where you are going. I'm listening.When someone does something at great personal cost to save others from a bad outcome, they've acted bravely. What they did is praiseworthy.
From a good outcome... Of course. I agree with that.When someone does something at great personal cost to "save" others from a good outcome, they've acted recklessly, not bravely. What they did is foolish.
Well no. I never told you that. You must have had some dream. I know the demons do give people dreams, but I won't go there.You've told us that you consider Jesus to be brave and praiseworthy for saving humanity from God's judgment. This tells us that you consider God's judgment to be a bad thing.
Or, it is just the usual thing with atheist - misrepresenting the facts, to have something to attack.
What Jesus did was indeed good. It was to save humanity from death - Adamic death - that is death caused by sin of Adam. Not God's judgment. If Jesus died to save mankind from God's judgment he failed, because 9/10th of humankind will face God's judgment... and if wont be pretty.
The wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus. Romans 6:23
God loved the world so much, that he gave his only begotten son, so that all those exercising faith, might not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
And atheists claim they know the Bible. Really?
They think too much of themselves. That's the problem.
