Show me the geography, historical events, and eye witness accounts outside the Bible that demonstrate that Christianity is the One Valid Religion™.
That would require you to conduct the same investigation Lee Strobel did, but you could always read his book and then tell me what you disagree with. I regularly investigate and question scripture and its meaning, I've yet to find out that the word of God is wrong. Of course I expect you not to do this, because that requires effort in a world that demands instant answers, but that's your choice, there are many books written on the subject to choose from.
Nope. I've read the Bible and considered it as well. The Bible apparently doesn't tell me what the Bible telling you. And that's okay.
Also, "us" means something besides "me and you," use your pronoun antecedents.
I don't take orders from anyone but God, I'll use the language I see fit, and the Bible is addressed to all humanity, whether you like that or not.
And whether Christian or Muslim, unsolicited, this is called 'proselytizing.' Incidentally, proselytizing here violates the forum rules.
Here's the actual definition of 'proselytizing';
proselytized; proselytizing
Synonyms of proselytize
intransitive verb
1
: to induce someone to convert to one's faith
2
: to
recruit someone to join one's party, institution, or cause
At no point have I tried to recruit anyone, I have repeatedly told you, and others, that you have free will to do whatever you wish, because that is an absolute truth. What I have told you is the truth according to the Bible, that is not proselytizing, you can accept what it says or not, you choose to deny it, the consequences are yours, that's it.
Again with the "us." God does not tell me I have free will, regardless what God tells you.
The Bible is addressed to all humanity, whether you deny it or not, I'm sure a Muslim would say the same about the Quran, I'm not going to deny what it says because it hurts your feelings, that would be blasphemy.
Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should...especially in the fashion you did.
I have no idea what you're referring to, I have explained what proselytizing actually is and how I specifically did not do it.
The thread is about why people believe what they believe. How does that come from an accusation?
I was accused of arrogance for claiming there is one true religion, even on a logical basis alone that must be true because they all contradict each other at some point. I make the case for Christianity based on facts that are in the public domain, and some discernment of history around the period of Christ, which is how all historical events must be assessed. To me it's not important, I have experienced the Holy Spirit so I don't need any re-assurance, I have seen the same of others many times. Why would you expect a Christian to say otherwise? what do you expect me to do? blaspheme and tell you I like other religions? I have no ill will towards anyone, but I'm not going to tell you Hinduism or Buddhism are great because it's what you want to hear, again, that is a sin in my faith. Followers of those faiths have free will, they can do as they choose and the consequences are theirs, that is an incontrovertible truth.
Sure you do. You don't, however, have the right to impose your beliefs upon others by pretending your religion is the "One Valid Religion™."
How is expressing what the Bible clearly says 'imposing' anything on anyone? its simply the truth according to the Bible, is you ego so fragile you cannot understand this? You don't have to agree, and clearly you don't, but isn't the case you don't like a Christian telling you what's in the Bible? otherwise what's all the fuss? take it or leave it.
I've already demonstrated how you are in this very thread.
Of course I can. I choose not to.
You haven't demonstrated anything other than an intolerance to opinions other than yours, and Christianity is the one true faith isn't my opinion, it's what the Bible teaches those who read it, take it or leave it.
God may have power over you, but God has no power over me.
You can believe that if you wish, as I keep saying, the consequences are yours, you claim to have read the Bible so you know what they are, whether you believe it or not.
They are not relevant to anyone, and I just explained to you why. And sure, I can choose to ignore them. I can also choose to dismiss or reject them and tell you why.
Well obviously there will be no agreement on this, but you dismissing God ultimately has no bearing on the truth, just your own journey to the end. There are many testimonies of famous atheists and what they discover at their end, none of them make great stories, choose wisely.
