Nope, wrong answer. It's because he doesn't want you to drive off any of the congregation. Pastor Missy would hand you your a$$.

You know what would be cool? If there were some infallible source of information about God and religion that everyone could reference so we wouldn't have these disagreements. Disagreements foster enlightenment. By design?

Something the church and religious believers never talk about. The Disciples were with Jesus for quite some time. Talked with him, went places with him, but when the Preachers and religious elders drug him into court for teaching outside of their doctrine, 2 of the Disciples witnessed against him, while one totally denied who Jesus was. Now Jesus had told them what was going to happen and that He would be crucified and resurrect. How many of these Disciples showed up for that event? Anyone want to take a guess? Only John at the crucifixion and no one at the Tomb. Why is that? No Faith (which Paul preached against as it means you aren't sure), didn't believe Him, or did it not "literally" happen. So here's a guy saying He is the promised one, does miracles, raises the dead, casts out demons, ect. with 12 guys witnessing all of this and not one shows up for the big event.

Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

" Why is it everyone keeps looking outside themselves for their: "source of information about God and religion" do you think? Especially when God and Jesus said they and the Temple/Tabernacle dwell within you.

Disagreements foster enlightenment. Good morning dassa, People in the early Christian movement certainly had theological disagreements among themselves. And people in the Christian movement today clearly have theological disagreements among themselves. Politicians disagree on politics, economists disagree on economics, doctors disagree on medicine...and people disagree with others on these things...and nearly everything else as well. Kinda like people on the same team regarding politics, or people on the same team regarding economics...or people on the same team regarding pretty much anything else. Different people sometimes see things differently...even people on the same team. There’s nothing wrong with that. At all. We’re not all a bunch of stamped out cookie cutter automatons. Diversity and disagreements within the body of believers has existed since its inception. Do you agree with every other conservative (many millions of them in this country alone) on every single facet of conservative thought…? I doubt it. Does that lack of absolute consensus discredit conservatism…? Nope; not at all.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

I actually enjoy them and have modified my opinions as a result of thoughtful input received here and in other places. There are a few people who don’t call names or imply ill intent to those with whom they disagree and they’re interesting to converse with.

Disagreements foster enlightenment. By design? "Enlightenment" doesn't resolve into consensus, so someone must still be wrong. Enlightenment is possible, when a person is engaging in a thread for that purpose. It is not possible, when a person is engaging in a thread to troll or for the sole purpose of promoting an agenda. Those two categories of posters are wasting their life, and just as well. And of course, the objective *is* enlightenment, not consensus, which is demanded by trolls.

I know because the Bible tells me so.............and that was not meant to be sarcasm. The following are from the KJV. If you follow the instructions you will know and not require faith. Here was the very first instruction from Christ...Matthew 6:33........ you can look and look, you can go into the desert, up on top the mountain, into the city, into a church/temple/tabernacle, or where ever you want to go and you will never find the Kingdom, God, or Jesus because..........Luke 17:20-21 Romans 8:9 John 14:20 Luke 17:21 Acts 7:48 Acts 17:24 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Revelation 21:3 Matt 13:10-11 Mark 4:11 Luke 8:10 Psalm 78:2 Galatians 4:24

You know, if you guys don't quit arguing over Part I, we're never gonna get to Part II, right?

You could be right. Could you ask it in a different way?
