Here is where the idiocy starts. Theists have fooled themselves into thinking that the bible was written by a supernatural being, therefore, they use the bible to cite their "unique" take on reality.
My stance is slightly different. Atheists have fooled themselves into thinking that the Bible was written by fallible human authors and that God doesn't exist as our Creator but, instead, was created by human beings. They've got it all backwards. There's the idiocy and, as fellow human beings, we can't do anything about it. Unless God calls them (a supernatural event), no amount of logic will prevail, no matter how well presented.

What they don't seem to catch on to is that they pick and choose the bible verses they want to apply to reality.
It's those that "pick and choose" that are deceived. The Bible (by its own declaration) is not opened to any private interpretation...it inteprets itself. Here a little, there a little...without divine (supernatural) intervention, it's impossible to decipher.

Obviously if Christians can not agree amongst themseleves, then there can be no claim as to who is a Christian and who is not.
What men claim is irrelevant. If/when (if for you, when for me) God comes to judge the world, it will be Him that separates the wheat from the chaff, the sheep from the goats, the fruitful trees from the barren. It's His election, not ours.

There is so many unevidenced claims about your god, that no real understanding can take place. Because the claims are unevidenced and lack any real rationale explanation people have the ability to apply a lower standard to certain bible verses then other verses.
That is obviously true for some but definitely not true for all. Were there no evidence, there would be no Christians. If believers of God do not become KNOWERS of God by way of EVIDENCE, they soon lose their faith. A dead religion dies, though sometimes slowly. Christianity lives on not because of faith but because of POWER!

For instance, dhtmr may value a certain bible verse on gay marriage less then loser because the verse conflicts with dhtmr's sect of Christianity. Loser then makes the claim that dhtmr is not following god's will and will go to hell for it.
Loser would do anything for love but he won't do that!

(and if you don't quit talking like this, you're going straight to hell!) :-)

Nobody knows if god loves radical, moderate, or conservative Christians.
Wrong! It's all of the above.

Quote:
Being a Christian is ambigous, therefore, does not justify anybody to make a claim that a certain person is not a Christian.
Knowledge is ambiguous and, therefore, no one is justified in making the claim that no one is justified in making claims...that's toadily unjustified.


My faith is stirred but never shaken.

I'm the proof that evolution works...

You're the proof that it doesn't.


I like to push buttons...

Can I push yours?
