With all due respect, this response shows a lack of study and listening.

Look at the underlined part Mary. The one who bests listens to others is best heard by others. That's what I was saying.

It's because you are shouting. 1 King 19: 11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord. And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an...

Conversation arc starts in post #42.

No. In fact I said the opposite: it is a great thing to share, and it is best done when we listen to others and truly see them. This better facilities them listening to us and truly seeing us. If either group shuts their ears, gets egotistical, or does not truly care, then any message has...

John 17:21 isn't fulfilled by popular vote. God triumphs over Satan regardless of head count. It's not a numbers game. But, if you are concerned and want to share your faith with other people (which is a GREAT thing to do), may I suggest that the best missionary work is done by somebody who...

It's not a numbers game: God doesn't see it that way, and neither should we.

We already had this exact conversation: I gave the example of how any presentation of "X believe you are saved by works" is a straw man argument misrepresenting that groups beliefs, and to really understand those beliefs (not the fake straw man), you need to be willing to listen and study. I...

It doesn't matter if 99% of people reject Christ, He still wins.

You did. Through your words and attitudes here. I've asked repeatedly if you were interested in study and getting past the superficial straw man arguments you keep presenting here. You scoffed at the idea.

^This data number data of which pews people sit in outwardly is not how Christ looks at people. Rather, Christ looks inward on the heart.

Wanting without willing to do the work to study amounts to no results (in any field). You have made clear that you're not willing to do the work to study, hence you wanting to learn will amount to no results.

You say you want it, but you're unwilling to put in the real study to get it. Such a weak wanting inherently equates to nothing. Real learning in any field (philosophy, science, theology, art, etc) requires study and effort.

How are you counting these tallies? And do these tallies really matter

I refuse. The only stupid questions in life are the one's a person asks when they aren't really interested in the answers, such as you are here.

You come on here complaining about not getting answers while you admit you're not willing to do any studying. Dude, that's your problem. Not mine, not God's, "Christians", or anyone else's.

@Vince , you didn't answer my question: are you willing/wanting to do a detailed study here to actually understand past surface straw man arguments?

Because people aren't clones. Do you know another group that agrees on every detail? I don't.

I meant no offense or personal attack, and apologize if something inadvertently came across that way. I simply didn't know to what degree you have studied theology, hence why I asked the question. For example, you cite "salvation by works", and having studied dozens of different Christian...

Oh as a professional scientist, I will tell you scientists disagree a LOT. Yes there is the core of the scientific method, but different scientists interpret the same results differently, and you'll have different experiments that give seemingly contradictory results. For every 1 scientific...
