Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire I have a “God’s Purpose” question.

Big words for a guy who so far hasn’t substantiated a single claim that he’s asserted that someone else made.

Right after you tell us if you actually read
Bart Ehramsbook you cited .... For you have
much hesitation in answering questions but
have no problem asking for things.. .. Why is that?

More transparency and less wiggling out
makes for better discussion and debate.

Comin’ from a guy who ‘still’ hasn’t substantiated a single claim that he’s asserted that someone else made.

More of the same comin’ from a guy who so far hasn’t substantiated a single claim that he’s made since chiming back into this thread just a little bit ago.

Again you refuse to answer earlier questions
put to you, instead of answering them,. you
complain others don't answer your following
requests...

Lets Deal with your backlog of unanswered
questions first... Sounds fair and reasonable.

astounding claim.

How can any mere mortal know who actually
sincerely worships Jesus in their heart?..

Where is the accessible database that reveals
the details of all those personal one on one
relationships?

actually YES, it is fair and reasonable
to answer earlier questions put to you,
if you want your later requests answered.

SM,

You’re just beating a dead horse here.....

But, I will ask again about the scoop on that Aramaic source you have mentioned.

What and where is it and why or why not is it important?

Nope. You chimed back in just a short bit ago and on ‘that’ post of yours started making assertions and you *still* haven’t substantiated a single claim that you’ve asserted that I made. You started out by asserting that I was castigating OldHat for something that I’d done myself; you asserted it several times. And when asked (several times) to post evidence of your assertions, you failed to do so. You did however refer to a previous thread that you’re clearly still butthurt over. Then, you went on to something completely different and unrelated that you’re also evidently still butthurt over. Mostly, it appears that you’re just butthurt.

Pages back I asked you (several times)
Did you read Bart Ehrams book you cited?
Does Bart cite other scholars in his book?

You still won't answer....but are now asking
things of me...

You have no concept of fair and reasonable.

Why would you need to know ?

To me, it is about how one interacts with others, that tells me what I need to know !

I was vastly impressed a few years back, right here. A member talking about The Sacrifice Jesus made for us.

"HE, would have done it just for me." Jesus saved the entire world from sin, but as said, he would have done it for any of us alone.

I didnt bring up the Aramaic Text 'scoop'

Antlers introduced it to the conversation
coz he thinks it's important even though
he's never read it, or seen it, or even knows
where it is.

Antlers doesnt believe Bible is all true,
but believes Bart Ehrams claims on
the mystery Aramaic text are solid.

Sin?

Sin separates man from God.

~The Riddle of Epicurus~
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

Older than Christianity.

God promises to protect the innocents, bringing them to Heaven is a pretty good way to protect them.

Heaven, like God, is hypothetical. Meanwhile, on Earth, the innocents suffer and die.

Slumlord you knew what you was starting with this one.

LOL!!!!

What better way to beat vulnerable people
into submission both mentally and emotinally
by brainwashing them into a fear of a hell and
promise of a heaven.

And like communism, it's a doctrine you are
not permitted to question... 'or else'... coz
the God botherers like Socialists know what's
good for you.
