Is the Deity of Christ a belief "of secondary importance"?

I am not sure why you quoted the blog as your only response to my comments, but I disagree with much of what is written in the blog. Furthermore, I challenge anyone to find the “carry on in leadership as if the sin never happened” attitude of both Wigglesworth and Ted (the blog writer) anywhere...

“False Dilemma” Fallacy

Q. How would you convince a man born blind that color exists? A. Give him the ability to see. Q. How would convince a man that can see colors that color does not exist? A. It would be impossible … even if you blinded him so he could never see color again, he knows what he saw. So an atheist...

I have. Pascal’s Wager addresses that. The evidence FOR the existance of God indicates that the atheists are wrong. One might argue that a nihilist asserts “there is no god” because of the lack of empirical evidence for the existence of god, or because “the problem of evil” provides empirical...

Claiming to be able to prove DARK MATTER to the empirical criteria that you have demanded for proof of the existence of God … is not actual PROOF of the existence of Dark Matter. Therefore by your NEW CRITERIA, we (Christians) have encountered God and claim to have metaphysical proof of the...

If time and death ultimately prove Theists correct and Atheists incorrect, I hope you will still be just as BOLD in denouncing the Creator as you are in life. Hypocrisy is always so unbecoming. When I followed Nihilism and pondered the astronomical improbability of an afterlife, I at least...

That is not accurate. You said: … which is NOT “asking for evidence”, rather it is a clear rejection of the possibility of both God and evidence of God.

"If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved." - Romans 10:9-10 I like that it...

"If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved." - Romans 10:9-10

Really? We found the "cat" (God the Son, Jesus the Christ) and you claim "the room isn't there" (any "god" is unknowable and no more reality than a "winged rabbit" or a "dragon in your garage"). If you were willing to seek the room (a god) then you might find the cat (Jesus the Christ)...

Am I the only one that sees the irony of a man standing in a room full of people that claim to have already found the "black cat" and insisting that HE ALONE is correct that "the room" containing the black cat "isn't there!" so there is no black cat. Perhaps if you were less certain that there...

"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: "I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God." That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus...

"God transcends space and time" I agree, however "transcend" means "to be prior to, beyond, and above (the universe or material existence)". That definition precludes material existence acting on or controlling "God" but it does not preclude "God" acting on or controlling material existence...

John 1:1 [MGNT] ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος Genesis 1:1 [LXX] ἐν ἀρχῇ ἐποίησεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν How many First Century, Greek speaking Jews would not be familiar with Genesis 1:1 from the Septuagint?

Does it not concern you that no translator (except the Jehovah's Witnesses) translated it that way. Jerome and the Vulgate even disagrees with your translation. Every other translation acknowledges the point John is making is "logos" = "ho theos" (Word = God) ... equality of the two. Setting...

When you set your enemies on fire (prior to God laying claim to you), one can be reasonable confident that one has advanced pretty far down the "WIDE ROAD" towards destruction ... one might say "sprinted ahead of the crowd". Thoughts of "Thank God I am not a sinner like that tax collector" is...

Like Christ. ;) (If you are really asking "What was Christ like?" then a Christian Forum is a great place to ask that question.) :cool:

So that would be “NO” you cannot prove the existence of DARK MATTER to the criteria that YOU demand for proving GOD. Perhaps your criteria for proof is flawed.

Like winged rabbits?
