The Storm B4 the Calm

[Dexter Sinister]

You've been tricked.

 

[Motar]

You've been tricked.

Enlightened.

Gentiles rule, get used to it, it/s our planet, we tuirn the screws, you look on in wonder.

Until the "times of the Gentiles are fulfilled", DB. (Luke 21:24 NIV)

 

[Corduroy]

Wipe your feet before you enter my home. Better yet, take your shoes off. This ain't a barn.

 

[Dexter Sinister]

Enlightened.

Um... no. Wishful thinking maybe, or confirmation bias, probably the most common perceptual and cognitive error people make. There is no good evidence, no good argument, that supports your views that also uniquely distinguishes them from other religious opinions. There is nothing you can offer that doesn't apply equally well to any of the thousands of other religious traditions the human imagination has invented. There are millions of people with religious beliefs just as deeply held as yours but completely inconsistent with yours, and the evidence and arguments offered in support of them are all fundamentally the same. The probability that you're right is vanishingly small.

Your opinions concerning religious opinions, traditions and beliefs are noted, Dex. However, I am speaking about revelation and reasoned faith - a living hope. (1Peter 1:3-5)

Hope is wishful thinking, not faith. Faith cannot be reasoned. It is not an intellectual enterprise. Faith is trust. Faith is experienced. It has nothing to do with belief or gods. It cannot be found in books or dispensed by teachers.

we live in a reckless apostate age. The great delusion of our time is there will not be consequences, that we won't reap the whirlwind for sewing the wind.. in abortion, euthenasia, homosexuality.. all proscribed in the founding faith of the West.. it will turn of us 10 fold and tear us apart.

We should stick with genocide, slavery, racism, and war. . . all things practiced and promoted by the founding faith of the west.

 

[coldstream]

Right, in the vestiges of Global Free Market Capitalism, as well as in radical anti population environmentalism as well (like AGW).. which encompasses all of those, especially in the methodical extermination and subjugation of populations into slavery.. as i said.. there is a reckoning coming... and it will be in war.

I know you ain't big on Christianity bones but that doesn't mean you need to piss on threads for those who enjoy discussing it.

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

right in the vestiges of Global Free Market Capitalism.. which encompasses all of those, especially imperialism and subgegation of populations into slavery.. as i said.. there is a reckoning coming... and it will be in war.

Good. War is the favorite pastime of the founding faith of the west. Cuz Jesus commanded us to make war.

Don't forget the part about you coming up with the concept first if God was a literal being.

Praise the lord and pass the ammunition.... onward Christian soldiers!

[Motar]

Is is concerning, Cliffy that your theology derives from facetiousness.

 

[Ludlow]

Motar, when Jesus is said to have stated, " I "only" came for the lost sheep of the house of Israel ", what do you think he meant ?

Could you share the context of that statement for us, LL.
