Re: An improper introduction

Christianity isn't a myth, it's a relationship with Jesus.

In the same way Greek mythology isn't a myth, it's a personal relationship with Zeus.

The answer to your question is found at the very beginning of the Holy Bible. Remember when you read it? It can be found in chapter 3. I'll give you a hint, this was during the days before the invention of the belly-button.

I know the answer the question, but I wanted you to answer in an attempt to enlighten you. So why did humanity fall??

Thank you, Wikipedia et al.

While this alone certainly doesn't prove your myth wrong.....

It certainly doesn't, does it? In fact, by your ilk's vile and prejudiced liberal standards, according to which the most primitive people are more likely to be "right" than True Christians, it ought to convince even you that the Flood is no myth.

Why are you wasting our time here?

Some people just like to hear themselves talk. I like to take the opportunity to be the hands and feet of at a time like this.

No, in fact it lessens the chances of your myth's correctness. But what convinces me of your (and all flood myths) falsehood, is the lack of any evidence of any kind. Also your myth calls for an exuberant amount of divine magic tricks, as I listed, which I do not believe in. As for your "most primitive people" argument, wouldn't that be Adam and Eve??? Wouldn't that be the original Christians??

Re: A Challenge

If God is powerful enough to guide me to this forum, why would he not simply reveal himself to me to prove his existence?? Or the whole world, for that matter??

And my "betters"?? You consider yourself better than me because I don't believe in an all-powerful sky father and his son who is also him but kind of not who knew humanity would "fall" but then gets mad when we do and also could destroy satan and sin at any time but doesn't, and then is mad at us??

Yes.

Re: An improper introduction

Greetings. As the smartest among you may have guessed, I am an atheist. I was raised a fundamentalist Christian, but have escaped those chains. What removed from the faith, you may ask?? Well, to tell the truth, the Bible. At the age of about 23, I read all the Bible, front to back. It was then I realized the gross inaccuracies, contradictions, and what is now deemed as immorality spread throughout it's pages.

My challenge is this: prove the existence of your god to me. Feel free to use any logical, philosophical, or scientific evidence in your defense.

So,

You are here trying to dictate us your rules, trying to get us play your silly game. Trying to force Faith and subsequently God to follow the instructions that you feel will help you win this game.

You know, it is not a game of wit, of logic, nor a game of better proof, scientific or philosophical. It's an unnecessary game. A person determined of her disbelief will remain in that state of mind unless touched by Jesus or an inner craving for something better. That is something you have to seek by yourself. You may have the craving, as you are here, as stated by Brother Alvin.

But, you see, it is not a game with winners or losers in a debate. It is not a game at all. God does not have to play games of proof or logic. He creates worldly logic but He is free from it. He is outside the scope of silly proofs. We do not need your game and you think you don't need God on Earth. Your biased mind can easily find contradictions anywhere. You've chosen to look for them. You could choose again. Choose Jesus.

1 Peter 1:2
Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.


That has very little to do with proof or logic but everything to do with the Fate of Man, with infinity and Eternity. Choose!


Yours in Christ,

Elmer

I'm detecting a distinct lisp here...
