Re: I Like Kissing Boys and Want a Career in Blowing Things Up

Please show me the scripture that says we're robots. And I did read your blasphemous link. What, did you think I'd immediately give up my faith based on that? C'mon, I'm not that stupid.

Also, thinking of something after somebody else wrote it isn't making it up. You sound kinda smart sometimes, but then you say some stuff that is totally stupid. Why is that? I bet it has to do with hating Jesus.

Please, read what i say, not what you want me to say. I am not using scripture in this argument because it is not needed. Logic and reasoning will suffice. Second, I never asked you to abandon your faith. I just asked that you specifically counter things I said rather than tossing out blanket statements. If there is a point in the link or what i said that you disagree with, say what it is and why, then I defend my opinion. Thats how these work. Finally, i dont understand why we are even talking about this tangent, but ok. Anyone can discover anything that they did not previously know. Just because someone else discovered it first doesnt mean it wasnt discovered, it was just redundant and the first person gets the credit.

And as to the semantic BS, Jesus is considered a valid historical figure, just like Muhammad, Julius Caesar, and Washington. Yes, there is a lack of contemporary literature for him, but that is true of nearly any ancient figure. Records are scarce at this point in history. Shakespeare is also argued to not exist, but in a historic sense, he is cited. And as to this title crap, epithets are names. William the Conqueror, Eric the Red, Richard the Lionhearted, these are portions of their names. That is why they are capitalized. These are not random titles of office like president or senator. They are specifically tied to these men and are parts of their names.

And great Heracles quip. You got me there. I was a little to broad there

Friend, we hear you. We hear you calling out, pleading for help. You claim to know the Bible yet you do not not want to speak His Words. You speak in all encompassing terms. Why don't you tell us specifically what God did that upset you. Was it a priest? They are notorious.

Did I not just give you a reference for a book which questions whether Muhammad existed at all?

Continuing to insist you are correct, without ever considering evidence which is contrary to your position, is called atheist fundamentalism.

No, an epithet is NOT part of a name. It's an epithet. And "Christ", as has been repeatedly pointed out to you, is neither an epithet nor a name, it is a TITLE.

Stop trying to hard to prove how smart you are, and learn something instead. You're quite possibly the most ignorant know-it-all to join this forum all day.

First of all, this is NOT a debate forum. We're right and you're wrong, according to Jesus and the Holy Word of God. Please read THIS thread before making an even bigger fool of yourself.

Secondly, while the internets might seem to be "free" to you, this particular corner of the internets is a privately owned Christian forum. The rights you have on this forum are listed HERE. Please contact a Pastor immediately if you feel that any of your rights have been violated.

Finally, your unsaved opinions or tantrums are not even slightly of interest to us. We follow the Holy Word of God TO THE LETTER, and make no apologies for that. One of the most important commandments in the Bible tells us to avoid unsaved scum such as yourself. You wandered in here uninvited, and unwelcome .

Justin the Idiot,
I don't like your tone. This is NOT a debate forum, it is a place for like minded Christians to praise Him. By the way, see the capital 'H' there? You might want to copy that, it seems your computer is out of them.

God gave us free will so that we could chose to love Him and follow His word. You choose not to, therefore you're damned to Hell. You refute your own retarded argument right there. You claim to believe in a higher power, yet you, against your own interests, reject God. Nice house of cards, it was tough to knock over. You're an idiot.

...It's not a homonym. There's no "n" in etymology.

It's not a homophone, either. There's no "n" or "n" sound in etymology.

You should learn to accept a polite correction gracefully.

Sorry, I missed the hyperlink. I'll look into sometime.

Epithet Noun:
a : a characterizing word or phrase accompanying or occurring in place of the name of a person or thing (Webster's dictionary)
I will accept your apology now

It is an epithet. I know where it comes from. As i am constantly reminded, it is Greek for savior. I know. It is an epithet however because it is a phrase that constantly follows his first name. I gave you other examples from history: the great, the conqueror, the red, just because this one is not translated back into English, does not make it different

Justin the Idiot,

So King is an epithet? What about General, Major, or Captain? My God, you just won't give up, will you. Again, you're wrong, admit it. Christ Jesus = Jesus Christ. Translate Christ back to English and you get Savior Jesus = Jesus the Savior. Not all words that go with names are epithets. Now shut up about it.

Can you even read what YOU just posted?

"in place of the name of a person or thing".

Therefore, not a name.

Are you really this dense, boy?

Re: I Like Kissing Boys and Want a Career in Blowing Things Up

Hey I'm here for basically the same reason you are. I do believe in God but not because it says so in the Bible. A religion teacher of mine told me that there are to many beautiful and kind things in the world and none of this can be explained completely with science, so I decided there must be a God. However, my version of God is not the same as everyone else on this site

You're damned right it isn't. You have made up some kind of false "god" that just happens to agree with all the nonsense in that thick skull of yours.

True Christians(tm) believe in God.

(Isaiah 44:6) "Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God."

A religion teacher doesn't understand science, therefore God exists. Logic fail.

... However, my version of God is not the same as everyone else on this site

Of course it isn't. Nobody else inhabits your brain, which is the only place your god exists.

Or I could be wrong, and God did create the universe ~15 billion years ago just so you could have a place to put your stuff. Too bad He also created 7 billion other people who just keep getting in your way, giving you failing grades on your term papers, making you a grande mocha at Starbucks when you specifically asked for a venti, and calling you an idiot when you say stupid things on the internet, eh?

So you just pull some vague, fuzzy-bunny concept of "god" out of your ass and expect us to take you seriously?

Listen, nancy: The only way to know God (the one TRUE God, not your imaginary skydaddy) is to study the Holy Bible. Without God's guidebook, how can you know about morality? How can you know WHY to hate queers? How can you know whether to round the corners of your beard or not? How can you know what to eat or not eat? How can you know what enrages or enraptures Jesus?

You can't just make God up.

Your teacher is an idiot. What he/she described to you is a god to fill gaps in their own understanding. Any creation god would fill these gaps. I bet they said that the world is pretty therefore the Christian God exists and therefore Jesus rose from the dead. What kind of lazy thinking is that?

There IS only one God and Jesus Christ is my personal savior. I know this because the Bible tells me. There is NO other source of this knowledge therefore you must take the Bible very seriously indeed. You can't just make God into what you want Him to be.

I must say I admire your strength of character, but don't you think your coming on a little strong by jumping onto a 'christian' message board and denouncing their faith?

I think I'll welcome you now and say that it's nice to meet you, before I get caught up in the conflagration between you and the pastors.

But am I incorrect in this, but isn't Tacitus a fictional book by Voltaire?

Also weren't there true surviving accounts of Jesus of Nazareth's existence from ancient Roman army accounts?

Thanks for sharing, my world history is rusty.
