Oddly enough, I was converted by a person who said he believed, but didn't continue in the faith. I have converted at least one. The title of your thread is slightly different than the questions you asked in the body of your post. Yes, God has chosen "us", but it is not a waste of time for...

First off, the Bible describes them as one "person" (as you presume) just as much as it describes them as separate. I gave you examples, even. Second, you aren't addressing the main point, but instead are chipping off things you think you can combat against. Are you denying that the Bible...

Well, he can council with himself, why couldn't he mediate within himself? This is more of the thinking that God can't be in two places at the same time.... I simply don't believe that.

Lets handle the "if" first... 1 Timothy 3:16 KJV And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. So yes, God was manifest in the...

Yea Taken, neither do I. At least on the scale of human morals. And I don't think many on this board find it hard to be descent moral human beings.

Well, here's what Paul really said: Romans 3:31 KJV Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. We establish the law, but through faith.

Ok. You read some of Augustine. I take it you haven't read Calvin. That's fine. And your advice that we should stick to the Bible is fine. I somewhat agree. I say "somewhat" because the Bible does say we need a preacher. So yes, stick to the Bible, but don't ignore it at the same time. I...

I really like to stick to the facts and tell it is. But sometimes I have to lay traps and hate doing it. I have laid a few in tbis thread and I don't believe everyone has read Calvin like they lead to believe. Heck, I barely believe most Christians have read all the Bible. Some writers are...

There in storage? Ok. So have you read them? How many? Which ones?

Good story... I liked it. But I couldn't resist singing, "Who let the chicks out? (Cluck, cluck, cluckcluck)!" Bo sense chasing them either, I suppose.

Oh, so you have read their works?

Amigo... I really wish you would've heeded my warning that this was a set up. It was to Grailhunter, but you fell for it. Calvin did not develop the Tulip theory. If you read his works, you will see that he was far from that theory, especially how people view it today. I have read Calvin...

I wish the World could live in peace, harmony and freedom, but I know it ain't going to happen. Therefore, I am praying for it to end. Still crying out against injustice, but at the same time reporting to God the miserableness of humanity.

Already addressed that. I take it that you are not a child and I am not so easily pulled into foolishness. Well then you don't get out much. Then again, those that are hypocritical and judgmental don't believe they are guilty of such. But is it what you were thinking? No need to answer...

Well, I have. Several times now, and my patience is now worn out. If you don't like the answer, then simply say so. It would be nice if you said what you don't like about the answer.... But if you don't, so be it. You don't think they do? Frankly, I think a bigger problem is that they think...

Well if that was your intent, it's my opinion that you failed miserably. I base that on your OP. I agree with you on the points you made in the quote above. But I see nothing about that in your OP when you were claiming to be the Johnny Appleseed of being good and claiming its not hard to...

Well, I can't get more specific. The 5 senses is what leads us to sin. Maybe along with pride... But all I can do is elaborate. But do you really need that? Do you really need me to explain how sight, touch, hearing, smelling and taste lead us to temptation and sin? Honestly, I don't...

Last time I told a lie was yesterday... No wait... Here's an update... I just lied. Lies don't really make things easier or make life more smooth. They just temporarily put things off in cases like you are speaking. Chances are your dad really didn't believe it anyway... But if you have a...

Great post Helen! I think the ass must've been from Kentucky, though...

I don't think its a bad idea, but I wonder if it borders on a fruitless idea. Look, some people need to hear it, but many more need to believe it. If you see a down trodden person, yea...they need to hear it, but what are the chances that they will believe it just because you... A...
