Now that we can agree that agnostic does not mean what you think it means let's examine the whole of the matter.

An agnostic beleives there is not enough evidence to decide whether God is real. Is this really a logical position to hold?

There is mountains of evidence that Jesus existed in a non spiritual form in the Bible(KJV1611). This is positive evidence. That fits with secular sciences own rules. But what about evidence that God does NOT exist?

Well here's the thing: by the scientific methodology (look it up on wiki) negative evidence (eveidence that something is not true or proving a negative) is in admissible as evidence if one is using the scientific method.

So where does that leave us? With a mountian of evidence to say Jesus is real but no admissible evidence that God is a fairy tale.

As an agnostic (and following the scientific methodology) where does that leave your decision on Jesus?

God bless.

Re: Hi everyone

Hello friend!

Now, assuming you really do mean "agnostic" this time, let me tell you a story about the man walking on a railway track.

People warn him there's a train coming his way. But he stops to ask: "How can we be sure it's really a train?" "What if we are only imagining this train?" "Who am I anyway?" "And who are you to warn me?"

Then he made this noise:

Splut!

That's right: the train was very real, his doubts were futile, and he went to hell in a hand basket.

Doubt can be deadly. Jesus saves.

Thank you for your attention.

Please post a link where "agnostic" is defined as " I don't know what religion is right."

You have 10 minutes.

The word "right" is used precisely once in that WickedPedia article, and not in the context you claim.



Admit you're wrong...that is the first step to Salvation and Redemption. Your vanity is keeping you out of Heaven!!!

(Philippians 2:3) "Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves."

Re: Hi everyone

No it isn't. You are lying. Guess what Jesus says about that?

(Revelation 21:8) "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."

Re: Hi everyone

This conversation is going nowhere. Scottish Rachel, why haven't you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal savior, and why aren't you praising Him with your every breath?

Because I don't know if he is real or not.

Re: Hi everyone

No it does not: Sister Basilissa already gave you the correct definition.

The word I think you are looking for is agnostic, but that also doesn't mean what you think it does.

Turn off the spell check and turn on your brain.

Re: Hi everyone

Hi lovelys, I'm a agonist who is a little confused.

Sorry spell check is horrible I meant to type agonistic

Hello, sweetie, now I am rather confused. You see, an agonist is

1: one that is engaged in a struggle
2 [from antagonist]
a : a muscle that is controlled by the action of an antagonist with which it is paired
b : a chemical substance capable of combining with a specific receptor on a cell and initiating the same reaction or activity typically produced by the binding endogenous substance <dopaminergic agonists> — compare antagonist 2b

Agonistic, on the other hand, is an adjective which means

1: of or relating to the athletic contests of ancient Greece
2: argumentative
3: striving for effect : strained
4: of, relating to, or being aggressive or defensive social interaction (as fighting, fleeing, or submitting) between individuals usually of the same species

Which of these meanings apply to you? Are you trying to tell us that you're some kind of good for nothing trouble maker?

I'll be praying for you anyway
