    Atheist objections to evidence for God's existence

    No, on the contrary, it is you who are expecting special treatment...and I am telling you that is not reality. These are not your rules. You don't have to like it, but you are wrong. But don't misunderstand, I am not claiming anything, nor do I have a need or interest in offering proof. You on...

    Three (3) Advents?

    He physically rose from the dead in the world where His church remains until the end. Then, in spirit, He ascended to be with the Father. This the word from the scriptures.

    Three (3) Advents?

    Take it up with Jesus who said, "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.", and "Most assuredly, I say to you, again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”, and John who said, "for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet...

    Atheist objections to evidence for God's existence

    Now...I just told you and you already commented on it...so, slow down: But...no, I am not making a claim. I have and do and will give you my personal testimony--but that is my evidence, not yours. Your evidence is between you and God. Thus, the burden of proof is NOT on me, nor could it be...

    Atheist objections to evidence for God's existence

    On the contrary, you have been given the evidence, not from me, but from God. But what you may not have been given is the ears to hear or the eyes to see it. Which is its own testimony and confession--yours. Which also proves nothing against the truth that you may or may not perceive. It simply...

    Why I'm Not a Theist Anymore

    You are looking at it all wrong. The bible is both inspired by God, but also the testimonies of men. As such, it would be dishonest for men to speak for God regarding their own imperfections, which is their honest witness of themselves. God gave men a platform by which the truth of God is...

    Atheist objections to evidence for God's existence

    All the world is evidence from God. As for evidence from people, there is none, for it is not from people, but to people from God. If you are looking to people to provide evidence of God, you are looking in the wrong place. There you will only find testimonies.

    No, Noah was not perfect as God is perfect, but rather perfect before God to do according to His will for the generations to come, meaning perfect for the task, perfect to serve. Noah was condemned and died under sin and needed salvation like any man. As for Jesus' body, as it is written: 1...

    Three (3) Advents?

    No. As it is written, you can "Hear what the spirit says to the churches" or "hear and not perceive." It is enough.

    Three (3) Advents?

    If you can't, then don't. Nonetheless, the truth is that all are either sons of their father Satan, or sons of God the body of only One begotten of God. But you mistake what is meant by "in His image." It simply means that He visibly manifested all that is in Him and on high. It does not mean...

    I quote the scriptures with quotations and also without, paraphrasing all that is written in plain language. But here after I have done so again, you say that I have no scripture. Well, that is a lie, easily proven in the posts above. One need only look for the quotation marks in my posts. And...

    Three (3) Advents?

    Again, a need for a specific response: Your "proof" will come in the end. Meanwhile, the truth of which I repeated to you was shown and written, and it stands: Only Jesus' spirit went to the Father...just as He said. Continuing on... No, you "know" nothing of the sort. That is not what it...

    This, holding onto the horizons of this world, is worthy of its own response: Luke 9:25 "For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost?"

    Three (3) Advents?

    This is like Jesus asking the multitudes what they went out to see in going into the wilderness to see John the Baptist. In other words...what did you expect, that God being spirit would create a race of inferior beings? No, He created us to reveal our faults and our need for His spiritual...

    Three (3) Advents?

    No, that is not what I am saying. What I am saying is that God manifest us in the way we were flawed, in order to save us from ourselves and certain destruction, to feel the weight of our loss and to rescue us if we would be rescued, and if not that we and evil would be destroyed forever. There...

    Three (3) Advents?

    We all go over the horizon, "some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt." 1. There are many contributing passages, but the end is this: Luke 23:46 "And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, “Father, ‘into Your hands I commit My spirit.’ ” Colossians 1:24...

    Three (3) Advents?

    Language is not nifty, it is "confounded" by God--for a purpose. Nonetheless, you go on and on in futility, while the end of the matter is that "flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God." None of what you have stated changes that, and the scriptures you quote establish it.

    Three (3) Advents?

    No...not a little bit gnostic...but all God, whom is all spirit. And, no, God may have made man as spirit and body, but we are not perfect as God is perfect until we are like Him...which is only spirit. Manifesting us in the flesh was not unto glory, but unto fire...from which only the spirit...

    Three (3) Advents?

    Well, you go on and on viewing things through a worldly lens as if the elements that make up the corrupt body of sin will be glorified, as if the glory of the Father is in the flesh and not only spiritual, and as if these fleshly eyes must see what they will not. But none of that is true, that...
