    Another take on Covid origins, developed in US military labs and first used in China, interview Dr Judy Mikovits worked there for over 20 years

    I believe in the end, many more people will die from the so-called vaccine than from the man-made disease.

    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?

    I'm not sure what you are saying here. However, my point is the converse of what you are trying to say. Just because a story is fictional does not mean it is false. Our ancestors knew this. Our ancestors knew the value of a story is not derived from it being non-fiction. Do you like history...

    Poisoning The Well. Your entire line of illogic is not based on the truth of Jesus Christ being the son of God who came to redeem the world. Your just bashing people for not being fully aligned on every point of doctrine surrounding the greatest expression of God's love for us. Son, if your...

    KJV? You rely on the very worst translation available in English to "prove" your point. Yea, right! Let's examine your supporting text in more detail, shall we? From Definition of CHARITY charity noun char·i·ty ˈcher-ə-tē ˈcha-rə- plural charities Synonyms of charity 1 a : generosity and...

    Christianity as a Closed System

    Totally wrong!!! If means both, exclusive and closed. ‘Except for the exceptions, there are no exceptions’ is just a fancy way of saying there are exceptions.

    Christianity as a Closed System

    Faith establishes grace. No one can miss it. Romans 10:9, John 3:15, Mark 1:1, John 11:25-26.

    Christianity as a Closed System

    There's no connection with me and us already going to him with the OP premise. Just mystical BS. Sir, if you don't want to talk about the premise of the OP, Christianity being a closed system, feel free to frequent other threads. Don't throw your 'God told me to' bash everyone here weight around.

    1st, your premise is untrue. Just because people dispute the truth does not mean that truth does not exist. 2nd, have the courage to find out for yourself, to be wrong but gain wisdom on your journey.

    I wrote about this before. Our society's lowering IQ is losing the capacity of discernment and nuance. Today people falsely believe a work of fiction is not true. The power of fictional stories is that they truthfully reflect the human condition. Luke Skywalker is a fictional story that...

    Christianity as a Closed System

    Dude! You have to embrace a valid application of exclusivity. I think you know I was not talking about attending a church service. I was talking about the conditions of salvation. The concepts of equality and inclusiveness have been perverted. This is what the Devil does; he perverts the...

    Christianity as a Closed System

    Very judgmental post. Claiming God told you to write so hardly holds up to scrutiny.

    Christianity as a Closed System

    Yes, the very same! Jesus never socialized with unrepentant sinners AND he often took a break to pray in solitude. Why don’t you get the 2nd part of Jesus ministry?

    Christianity as a Closed System

    People use science as capital-S, a new age idol. I use science in the generic sense of study and observe. No denomination has exclusive access to Christ - even though some make that claim. For instance, last year there were 2 miracles at my church, which is non-denominational.

    Christianity as a Closed System

    Yes, there is such a thing as healthy boundaries. Christ, himself, often left to pray in solitude. The goal is for us to attract those in the dark. When we start being tempted by the dark, we are ‘too open.’ Also, guard yourself against pride. Evil and sin is not to be trifled with...

    Christianity as a Closed System

    Totally relate, being raised RCC. Everyone outside the authority of Rome - Peter’s successors - was under the influence of Satan. Being the scientist, I saw evidence to the contrary.

    Christianity as a Closed System

    Wrong dichotomy. It’s not that Christianity is closed; it’s that Christianity is exclusive. And this naturally offends those indoctrinated with false equality and false inclusiveness.

    Faith, hope and charity? The words are faith hope and love (not charity). In addition, the chapter continues by explicitly stating the greatest of these is love. Yet, you are so blind as to deny love is even in the love chapter. This is precisely the kind of intellectual dishonesty and...

    I think your basic problem is misusing the document, to begin with. Why don’t you identify what is literal and allegorical via green and blue letters? I never heard a Christian even talk about doing what you claim to be waiting for. It’s just another standard atheists invent to deem failure.
