    If atheists get accused of taking verses out of context, how do we know fundamentalists making those accusations aren’t doing the same as well?

    Not an answer to my question. There is such a thing as violating one's Free Will. See property crimes.

    And that is wrong because you are distorting what Free Will means to suit your ideology. IF man has no Free Will, our entire system of justice is based on a flawed premise, right?

    Could Christian transphobia/homophobia have been a factor in the Nashville Christian school shooting?

    If you cannot see that God exists, you are missing the most important truth of the Bible.

    Your holding back. Death is the ultimate change, the final change of the living. It is the end, oblivion.

    Your definitions are absurd. In no way does the gift of Free Will mean we are God for we are still confined by the limitations put on us my our Creator. We cannot fly, breath under water, go to another planet breathing the absence of air along the way. We must eat, sleep and all the other...

    Sir, it is one thing to disagree agreeably. You agree disagreeably. It's not the Bible but the myth in Christiandom that I don't believe. Hell is derived from Gehenna, which was a place trash was put. Most cities burned their trash and Jerusalem was no exception. I believe early translators...

    Explicitly contradicting the Bible. Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding Proverbs 3:5

    A rather rhetorical question for the "Hell is FOREVER" crowd

    Luke 16 is a parable. The NLT section beginning v19 is specifically called a parable. It is unique in that it has a persons name, Lazarus. However, the rich man remains unnamed in the parable, as does Lazarus’ brothers.

    On this, we agree. I reject eternal suffering. We disagree about there being no free will. Perhaps you are so sick as to define true free will to mean there are never any consequences to one’s choices. You mentioned a 5-yo getting gang raped. If there is no free will, there can be no rape...

    No. My belief system is justified because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. There are BILLIONS of witnesses to his glory. You are just in denial, demanding evidence while drowning in evidence.

    Could Christian transphobia/homophobia have been a factor in the Nashville Christian school shooting?

    Your inabillity to discern is willful. The Bible is highly figurative. The Bible is not literal. These 2 statements do not mean the same thing. I hold that some of the book is literal while most of its truths are expressed figuratively. You hold that because the book is not one little bit...

    How am I misguided? So if you believe deep in your heart that God raised Jesus from the pit of death and if you voice your allegiance by confessing the truth that “Jesus is Lord,” then you will be saved! Romans 10:9 The Voice

    Wow! What makes you think life is indestructible? I just buried my mother-in-law. I'm sure you know many who've died also.

    Double standard. You have no love for God. Also False Alternative. You are again attempting to set the standard AS IF the only way I can prove my love is to not respect your choice. That's how sick you are. It's not that I don't have love. I have saddness that you are choosing death.

    You are a fool. The beginning of wisdom is fear of the LORD. It is not ridiculous that humans die by default. God has reached out a saving hand - and you, being the fool that you are - slapped it away. God is pursuing you but you keep slapping his saving hand away.

    What? You are blind to Orginal Sin and it's consequences. Yes, the 5-yo girl is innocent but her parents weren't and neither were her assailants. If you read Exodus 20, God talks about multiple generations reaping the consequences. Again, you are being myopic. Extremely myopic. Only in this...

    That's a probability wrapped in speculation and conjecture. Desperate. More blasphemy. Listen well. God cannot have all these negative attributes AND not exist.

    We are slaves. We are ruled by a tyrant in that It is God's way and no other way. We've been over this before. However, you are falsely equating tyranny with absolute power of God. Another False Alternative. By definition, tyranny is outside the law; God is the law provider. Therefore, it is...
