I think a religious forum is probably not the best place for an atheist to explore the existence of God.

There is no eternal conscious torment. That is a doctrine meant to scare people into conforming to the church hierarchy. But the truth is fearsome enough. The wicked are killed outright in the lake of fire...this is the second death. The eternal judgment of being separated from God is based on...

I don't think an atheist will see the logic or love from the rantings of a religious extremist who has thrown out reason and understanding. The truth is not 2 dimensional. One must adapt the truth to the situation. There is a time for putting one's faith in Christ. But if a person doesn't...

After you twist the meaning of everything it could be called anything. But mercy has to do with the compassion that God has for the plight of men. Even here you are unable to take a very simple idea and track that accurately...even for a moment. This is a confession that points to you. Your...

If you can see the wonder of creation and how impossible that such a thing could exist....together with us having life and a body that automatically breathes with a heartbeat that doesn't stop...you begin the realize that the human mind is very limited in understanding the immensity of the WHY...

Amen. People can only see from their own bent. No balance, no understanding. Mercy is on the righteous. (There is none righteous that doesn't sin) Glory is on the saint. ( He who overcomes as I did will sit on My throne) The bible teaches this so much that only the blind can't read it.

LOL I escaped to the south shore...smaller city. :) Winter and construction. Are you still in the Montreal region?

Jesus was saying....My God My God why have you ENTANGLED Me. Jesus was combining 2 verses....from Ps 22 an Gen 22. The genius of God is that He keeps going deeper into the meaning of prophecy. In Gen 22 we see a ram that God Himself provided caught in a thicket. The Hebrew word for thicket in...

In your religious opinion. The truth is novel to any religiously indoctrinated person like the Pharisees or yourself. The irony.... :rolleyes: Listen to your own words. Stop pretending you are God's grand inquisitor. Seek the Lord to actually understand the bible. Ask questions, don't make...

This is a strawman argument. And God hates a false balance. It doesn't say that for God so loved the church. The scale is wrong if one does that. Jesus came to take away the sins of the world. God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. Of course not everyone is personally redeemed or...

These are more like confessions that describe your purpose here. The blind can't see themselves. If your eye is dark then everything is darkness.

That's a mouthful....but I can swallow it. And that's the feebleness of modern theology that has been adapted to what is already achievable without God in any way shape or form. A righteous man doesn't think he is righteous, the same way that a humble man doesn't think he is humble. A sinner...

You are confusing the law of Moses with the law of God. The law of Moses is about Judaism....circumcision, eating Kosher and such. These are HOLINESS laws that separate the Jews from the other nations. But through Christ we have a real holiness...the holiness of the perfection of Christ. As such...

Man, BOL sure has ADC pegged. A LOT of religious extremism here.

The man who claims to abide in Christ but who doesn't....is called a liar and a thief.....trying to enter into the kingdom by some other way than through the door who is Christ. Zechariah's flying scroll (Zech 5) is a universal warning against false naming and claiming and stealing away the...

It's only a demand when we claim to abide in Him. The proof is in the walking. The ministers who are cast away were lawless. They were sinners who claimed to abide in Christ....when they didn't...making them liars and lawless. They tried defending themselves by the things they thought they did...

It's like the fruit of the Spirit. Where the Spirit is at work there is evidence. Evidence of an unseen world....evidence of things not seen. So this is about the evidence. If we are filled with the Spirit the evidence will be love, peace, joy....and POWER to fulfill what God wants from us...

We are ALL bought with a price. Jesus purchased back the WORLD (and the church) with His own blood. That is NOT exclusive to believers. Jesus paid for those who obey Him whether they know Him or not. Being saved now is about being translated into heaven to walk where Jesus is, like Paul and...

The time to enter into the heavenly realm is now. To be spiritual in Christ means to enter into the kingdom realm to be where He is....and to ABIDE in Him.

I know more than anybody that God has given me grace. But I also know the deep judgments of God that most will only know on judgment day. That's what qualifies me to warn others. I'm like a spy or a watchman that cries out when God's people are in danger. Only the wise will listen.
