Thank you for clarifying. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it - in fact I would encourage it - but why do you want to learn about different varieties of Christianity?

You‘re an ex-Christian. Why do you want to learn about Christianity? I doubt that you know the primary reason why I’m here. (It’s not to learn about Christianity.)

Did you ever have any desire to serve your country in the Navy? (I had a strong desire to serve my country in the Navy when I was a teenager. I wouldn’t have thought twice about killing you if our countries were at war and our ships met at sea. I would have done it in a heartbeat.)

Is that why you’re here?

I know. People who’s faith is weak - mine isn’t, you’ve actually strengthened it - might be persuaded. So why are you here? I dig irony.

“Nagai’s eyes moistened at the sad thought of what war does to families.” (Paul Glynn, A Song for Nagasaki, p. 136) I haven’t come to the part of his story yet when Takashi Nagai, a Catholic doctor who served in the Japanese army (two tours of duty in China), has the atomic bomb dropped on he...

It’s about the US Navy in the Pacific during World War II. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Harm%27s_Way If you had seen it you would have understood when I linked King Agrippa with Operation Skyhook, in reverse. ”Agrippa said to Paul, ‘Are you so quickly persuading me to become a...

I’ll try to remmeber that and use it if / when I quote scripture in conversation with you. Have you ever watched the movie, In Harm’s Way?

You’ve read the Bible. You know that it plainly answers your question. I was just thinking about King Agrippa. Care to guess why? Is there a particular translation of the Bible that you prefer to read?

You know which side of their argument I’m on.

God didn’t lie. The devil lied. You can’t work it out and won’t be persuaded when it is worked out for you. Why are you asking the question?

You offered us two choices. Right? On the one hand we have God, who cannot lie. On the other hand we have the devil, the father of lies.

Obviously. Before he replies, what do you think he’s going to say?

I just spit out the food I was chewing. (That’s what I was laughing about.) You don’t think either one of them were truthful to Eve because … none of them existed.

If Jesus and the apostles didn’t then Jesus’ genealogy wouldn’t be included in Matthew and Luke. It’s critical for the establishment of him being the promised and prophesied Messiah.

Jesus and the apostles believed they existed. Human beings sin against the God whom you don’t believe exists. We need rescuing from him, by him.

That may have just been a false perception on my part. You’ve heard @Riven say that he doesn’t trust or respect pastors. He was telling me the truth. I’m aware that you don’t trust pastors. Do you respect pastors or are we a matter of indifference to you? I only know you as a human being...

Do you remember building me up? Are you neutral toward me? I’m a 1st century Christian living in the 21st century. Their thoughts on the matter are my thoughts on the matter.

The question that should be asked is why did it change. The answer to that question is outside interference; which I’ve generically referred to as “mother hen”.
