PART 1 I've been wanting to write this thread for a long time. A darkness has emerged in our country over the truth by prolific gaslighting. Claims of what is a threat "to our democracy" is actually a threat to the Deep State, the Administrative State, the bureaucratic elite. The go to tactic...

Not me, it's what Scripture says. Didn't you read the Deuteronomy verse?

Quite the assertion.

What a well researched OP! Nicely done. A few comments. Then the world will never know Christ was sent by the Father because over time, the faithful are less united. See 45,000 denominations now. Cultural evolution continues to divide the church. Many orthodox are named by this, e.g. Russian...

Marxism 101 in Alinsky Rules For Radicals, accuse your opponent of what you are doing yourself.

This thread got me thinking https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/do-you-believe-in-biological-evolution.73976/ As an Adult, On What Moral Issue Have You Changed Your Mind? For all the debating in our society, this question reveals the futility in it, for the most part. For me, I can think...

Evolution is one thing I have changed my mind about as an adult. In my thread evidence to be seen, there is a vid Is Genesis Real?, which delves into the question where many PhD scientists who are Christian are interviewed. In short, the question comes down to definition. There is evidence of...

Originally, our religion was known as the way. Same with Taoism. If you want to reject history, remain in a state of ignoring historical facts, that's on you. If you want to claim that no religion today is primarily known as the way, that's fine but I'm not sure where you're coming from. What's...

More disturbing by far is your thesis. Your paper reduces to a series of assertions. Have the courage to test the conviction of your faith. Will you believe the results?

Although this is in vogue, it is profoundly untrue. Nothing is more evidenced based than belief. Scientists believe. Juries believe. Consider the purpose statement of John's Gospel at 20:31 But these are written so that you may continue to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and...

wonderful! Thanks for posting. :-)

two religions are called the way. Taoism And ours What is “the Way” in the Bible? | GotQuestions.org

Wow! Extreme eisgesis at its finest, taking things out of context and imposing an interpretation on it. What was your answer again on how a thing can be WITH something and BE that same thing? You're in denial of how John 1:1, the beginning of Christ's ministry (not the beginning of Creation)...

Great, great post @Marilyn C! Effective evangelism requires establishing a personal relationship with the potential convert on some level as a prerequisite. Otherwise, evangelists become off putting proselytizers that reinforce the obstacles for genuine coming to Christ later. Such...

Great OP Rationalists are their own god. Makes sense not to throw pearls before swine. I’ve flipped the script. Tell Atheists that I do t have enough faith to be an Atheist. I’ve written extensively that believers too often make the mistake of defending the faith on the enemies terms...

Sounds like you don't realize Jesus has a God. There are many verses that say this. The most explicit are Rev 3:12 All who are victorious will become pillars in the Temple of my God, and they will never have to leave it. And I will write on them the name of my God, and they will be citizens in...

I've explained these many, MANY times. Did you answer my question of how a thing can be WITH a thing and BE that very same thing?

I believe John, just not trinitarian extreme eisegesis of what John said. No response to how John’s purpose statement conflicts with trinitarian extreme eisegesis of what John said? 20:31.

Doesn’t really answer my question; do you realize Jesus has a God?

I believe John, who wrote at 20:31 the purpose of his Gospel is so we may believe Jesus is the Christ. John did write that the WORD was with God and was God - but didn’t write that Jesus is God. Have you ever considered how anything can be WITH a thing and BE that same thing?
