What reason does he have to believe this?

Because it’s my question. God, the Father’s personal name is YHWH. His only begotten son’s personal name is Jesus. IF the HS is a person, he must have a personal name. So, what is it?

What is the personal name of the Holy Spirit, again?

Nonsense. The purpose of the Founding was to spread Christianity, in addition to trade. What’s contrary about that?

Your premises are wrong, which lead you to wrong conclusions. You are drowning in evidence while denying there is any.

There are so many now that RvW is gone. I was thinking return God and prayer to the classroom, school events, etc. EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW Another would be to hold the Federal government accountable for upholding actual federal law, like border security, deportation, etc. Also...

He calls himself an atheist but is actually a skeptic. He does not have a basis to defend any position, just rest comfortably in holding doubtful any position. Talk about luke warm.

Ironically, I read this today in my daily devotional reading. It struck me that "may be" found blameless is 1 of 2 options, with the other option may NOT be found blameless.

Yes. Jesus said he would divide. True, huh? Have you read the book? Your fact-free, evidence free word view is showing itself again. Read Revelation.

Ahem. Muslims are not Atheists.

That's right. Christianity is an exclusive religion. You have your moral poles reversed. It is hate that wants to equate the path of destruction with the path of life. It's your choice and your consequence. We don't hate your for your choice. We pity you. Agreed and besides the point. LOL...

Your own standard defies your acceptance criteria. Said differently, your acceptance criteria has either already been met or you are not accepting the proper application of your own acceptance criteria. Those most enslaved are those who falsely believe they are free. This Goethe quote applies...

Again, so much for your evidence based approach to life. Do you condemn a cure because - at times - people do not recover from the disease? Or do you let the exception be the exception and the 99.9% of the time be the rule? It should be noted that before the modern era, the Christian church was...

You are obtuse, blocking even the on ramp to consider evidence. Worse, you did not answer the question of your rejection criteria. What evidence will you accept for God's existence? As @atpollard pointed out, it is the same with gravity. Yet, you aren't denying gravity, are you? No sir...

Agreed. They don't match in today's uber literal, unsophisticated copy and paste world view. In the NRSV Cultural Bible it explains that ancient audiences preferred variations of a common reference to break from monotony. Yet, they were sophisticated enough to know the reference matched. Today...

Sadly, the thesis of your OP is not well constructed. I suspect the lack of clarity is deliberate to help blur the false conclusion you are striving to reach and support. Interestingly, from today's devotional reading @ 1 Thes 5:21, we find the God given command, Test everything. Read The Rise...

I believe God is more liable to forgive us for erring on the side of grace.

Our lord. Matthew 25:35-45

A DJ of a local Christian station is fond of saying something similar. "The world is full of nice people. If you cannot find one, be one." It does not cost us to extend grace. Yet, we humans seem to share it most reluctantly - when it is needed most. :sleepy:

Perhaps I worded the point in a clumsy way. There is only one Gospel. And that is the Good News of Jesus Christ. (The good news is that he paved the way for our reconciliation with YHWH for our sins. There is nothing more important than this). There are saints to have written testimonies of...
