A common tactic is to promote a weak link as though it was the strongest. Young woman. Virgin. Not the same.

Well, you can see it anyway you like. The Isaiah verse in question is not a Messianic prophecy.

Well, 2 different things. Just because Mary was a virgin does NOT mean it was prophecied.

Pretty lame smear campaign, to dismiss billions of witnesses on the grounds that a very small % make the claim that are impugned. Your standard is designed to be impossible to meet. Classic atheist tactic to define a winning argument. Jesus teaches that we do not have to rely on our own...

You are quoting yourself as an authority rather than the actual authority. Nothing you claim counters what I wrote. Jesus said the Holy Spirit will guide you in all truth. And God will call. Many are called but few are chosen. This means exclusive, not all.

Oh? How so?

LOL. Because you deny God exists, you cannot acknowledge that God reveals himself to his select. God revealed himself to me in a supernatural experience. So, no human argument will surpass the witness of my testimony. I used to be ignorant, like you, but now I KNOW.

No, not their entire ideology, just a minor error in their eschatology. The patriarchs did not use their brain cells to reason the Creator, he revealed himself. Do you get that? The Creator revealed himself to his children.

What is misguided with that? Di you have locks on your doors? What is that all about? Having said that, your characterization of my position is false. Exclusivity and closed systems remain valid. Do you recognize there is a difference between the living and the dead?

I may have missed it. What is your answer to the OP?

I have pointed out this same error many times myself. It makes me feel sad that people feel the need to mythologize a connection to the OT with Jesus that is simply not there. I could explain more but that is against the current rules. If you want me to explain more, PM me.

So, in your own way, you are here evangelizing.

Well said. It is amazing how some can be so misguided about the exclusivity of the Body of Christ.

Agreed. It is a contradiction that an all-loving God would also inflict unending punishment. This is worth its own thread. And there are probably a few already about it. In short, the notion of eternal suffering of humans is not in Scripture. In the Garden of Eden, there are 2 trees. One tree...

Not an answer to how productive and prolific you are. But I understand you wanting to not care about standards that reveal your folly.

Yet, you are my junior in the journey toward spiritual maturity.

Don't need to. It is throughout Scripture. In Genesis. God chooses a special people to be his people. This is an exclusive categorization. In Exodus 20, who do the 10 Commandments apply to? Only to those who were delivered from the land of Egypt. What God's are they to put first in their life...

Yes, in another thread an atheist claimed many blasphemous things, including the KJV using the word "charity" rather than love in this chapter "proves" Christians don't know what love is.

Sure it is. Faith is as much a work as anything is a work. "ing" words are work words. Although we don't say faithing, we say believing and acting in faith. You cannot separate faith from work. As the Gospel says, faith is only real and alive when associated with work. There are 2 senses of...

Sorry for your loss. Last April I suddenly lost my sister-in-law. She had various and severe health problems for the last 5 years. What got her had nothing to do with that. By BIL was worried she died an atheist.
