Where did TF49 go..? 🤔 He was all very vocal and sure of himself up to now, but seems like he's having serious doubts about what his word is worth. All we need is a simple YES or NO. Painted himself into a corner perhaps? Well, all we have from TF49 so far is more...

TF, then there are those who spend their life trying to punish GOD because of some percieved slight. Perhaps a parent or friend or other close relative or pet died and so the person vowed to try and lead others from Christ by pointing out their percieved cruelties of HIM on Christians or percieved Inconstincies in HIS word in order to slap HIM in the face.
We have a few of those on the Fire who are in danger of everlasting fire. Punish God? That's hard to do when we have no evidence for His/Her/Its existence. A God should have no trouble making Its presence known. Whether there is or not, that is the intent of many. There is no requirement that someone have scientific proof, to believe and subsequently love or, as in your or AS's case, hate. I have no hate. That accusation is used as a means of defending faith. To question is not to hate. To question and enquire is a sign of a willingness to understand. My apologies then. It seems you do exert a lot of effort denying HIM to many men.

Or do you say that as a means of discouraging discussion and questioning of beliefs? Shouldn't we all question beliefs....especially our own?

Do you exert as much effort disputing threads on the internet discussing allah?

Rigid dogmatic people like you are the reason that 48% of millennials now answer "none" when asked about their religious beliefs. "48% of millennials" reject God for the same reason posters here reject God's Word. They want to.

Since the thread is already sort of hijacked from what the original poster asked, I will seriously ask, what are "the weightier matters of Jesus' teachings"? You’re not “seriously” asking anything Ringman. You’re just displaying more of the disingenuous behaviors and tactics that you have become known for here. Pharisees still exist today. You’re one of em’. Your legalistic attitudes clearly take precedence even over the Gospel itself. Help me here. What is your definition of Pharisees? What is "legalistic attitudes"? What is "the Gospel"? still laffin’ Good God...! You appear to be completely lost. I am. I have no idea what you are trying to communicate. If sharing in love is one of the weightier matters, you have an opportunity at hand.

If's from a lack of evidence, and that's especially true for your brand of theology.

I have no idea what you are trying to communicate. lol You are without a doubt the polar opposite of what Jesus Himself encourages us to be. And you clearly intensely and intentionally put forth effort to be that way. If sharing in love is one of the weightier matters, you have an opportunity at hand. lol some more I might as well be dealing with Satan himself when I deal with you...I see no difference. You’re both evil and deceitful to the Nth degree.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

Or do you say that as a means of discouraging discussion and questioning of beliefs? Shouldn't we all question beliefs....especially our own? Some christian minds just perceive threats and church victims everytime they encounter rational enquiry. Christians can verify their claims about as well as you can prove Santa and Rudolf are real. Parents tell young kids to give up on their imaginary friends, then those same parents take kids to church and teach them to talk to a God they cant see, and get them to imagine him as a friend. When making rational equiry. You end up having to bat away the mountain of BS Christians bombard you with, which in the end still leaves people searching for the actual truth. If you don't entertain the subjective creative mind beliefs they present, they think theres something wrong with you, because in their mind there's never anything wrong with it. We have posed several fair, reasonable and rational questions about scripture and the beliefs some christians hold, but when the convenient BS doesn't fly, they either get defensive and become a victim, or adopt attack mode and start 'demonising' then threaten with Flames of hell, . or just cowardly avoid the TFH questions all together.

. Since when can one not change their mind and take someone off ignore and point out their inaccuracies?. Nobody said one shouldn't use or switch off ignore. it's about the blatant dishonesty and denial that they actually did so. Re: inaccuracies, No CF christian seems willing or able to explain why the assumed traits of Jesus do not match up to O.T. criteria to qualify as the Messiah. Surely you don't take the O.T. Word of God to be in error, so clearly Christianty has gone off the Rails when it comes to claims about Jesus. There in lies the conundrum, for to ackowledge the O.T. is infallibly correct, means your beliefs are wrong,.. or you can claim your beliefs are infallible correct thus puting into question the veracity of the O.T. Theists have created such dilemma and it aint going away no matter how much they ignore it. dilemma (Def.) /dɪˈlɛmə,dʌɪˈlɛmə/ noun - a situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives, especially ones that are equally undesirable.-

So, you are in error about me putting you on ignore.....and go ahead and question “my word.“
Do you want me to produce your post saying you have Starman and others on ignore? How about your post acknowledging you took Starman off ignore...You want to see that also? You have lost your cognitive faculties or you are just a plain liar. .. either way you word ain't worth schitt. Well, as usual, you are wrong again. I never had you on ignore. You just made that up,or,your memory is just plain faulty.
Do you stand by those claims? Yes, I would like you to do that. Edit to add: a while back you posted that I had called you a dickhead in one of my posts. That of course was totally untrue. You made made that up. Care to,search for that one as well?

So you no longer believe in an infallible god. If he's not infallible is he really of god? What other characteristics of your god are now in doubt?
