it is my contention that the God you worship is done in the the light of myths and idealogy built around a deity known consecutively as Amun/Ra/Aten/El/El Shaddai/Yahwah/Jesus, where your entire conviction is based on those myths.
Fortunately my eyes are rather good, and my mind is rather quick, I need not read an entire post to see that ;quote Somewhereinbetween are the first two words of a post.

I stand by my claim, and admit that I have no idea what the second sentence counter is about, save to fire a volley.
One accused me one day of being pretentious. Pull the beam from the eye before going after another's speck, please.
You more or less enforce for you too what I wrote about your cohort, double myopia! education does not seek people, people seek education, so hit that previous page's button, find the post, read it and you will come to that bright red shiny reference of a link you are looking for. My brain cannot think for yours sorry.
You had listed a link somewhere within the diatribe of these several threads for one to look at. Instead of me having to look up several pages of tit for tat would you mind posting again?
You certainly are and I can prove it here:
Stagnation comes from the unwillingness to learn from others. I would never be that way.

God bless!
Et tu?
Nonetheless I am glad that you like them, but you did very poorly, for I did not paraphrase Isaiah, in fact my paraphrase does not come from the Bible.
Congratulations! I take that as a signal that you may very well be on your way to understanding the pagan and idolatrous roots of your faith, which might, if you are willing to look deep enough, herald the way to clear the man-made obstacles in your mind and embrace without benefit of imtermediaries, the concept of God.
Originally posted by madmanacrosswaterNo, one did not paraphrase Isaiah. However, what it helps reinforce is that though "religions", or spiritual thinking may be different there is a certain tie in among all whether admitted or not.

Excellent, and I am sure you were pleased to learn at least between the two of you, he at least knew of the man to quote him.

who cares what your personal statistics are, you fall into either fundamentalist/evangelical or whatever Christian demoniation otherwise Jesus would not be your saviour. And it is this very insipid type of response from you that causes me to glide past your posts, for they are all filled with the same inanity.

Yes I know, the truth can appear to be mean.

Now as with my having to introduce you to Clement, the foibles of the gospels, numerous other issues with your doctrine and now Amenenope, I note you are once again lacking in any semblance of intellectual response, and resort to your usual childish display of smilies and childlike rhetoric:

what happened to god? specifically the christian one. all these people wrote about this god, miracles during jesus' time, all these predictions and prophecies that are supposedly coming true now, and other stories about floods, plagues and creation. then someone put all this together and called it 'the bible', also known as 'the gospel'...may as well have called it 'the truth'. anyways, god seemed to be around a lot to begin with, even his kid was walking on earth, performing all these miracles and so on. god even spoke to a few people, set a bush on fire, turn a stick in to a serpent and so on.
its a shame he isn't still around so we could get 'proof'. by that i mean actual physical proof. not a story or some writing...but proof. some photographs perhaps, or some footage of adam and eve in the garden of eden, god took all that time to create the universe and couldn't even come up with a video camera. so, yeah... i know people say they talk to god etc, yet he's not a frequent visitor as the bible would have us believe he was a few thousand years back. whats the deal?

i dont think its the fact that people lied. you need to understand one very important thing about humans 2000 or more years ago. in most cases your knowledge went as far as folk tales, legends, how to look after animals, how to grow crops and this was all passed down generation to generation. as far as reading scripture, let alone writing it, not many were skilled enough in that area. now that you understand a little more about the way people thought and acted in those times its easy to see why many created gods.
you assume that when the bush caught fire that it was caused by god. this is a person in the 21st century, that attributes bushes catching fire to god, on the bases that it is written down in a book. the thing is there are many ways this could happen naturally. for example lightning if it hits a tree can set it alight...this 2000 years ago would be called an 'act of god'...
you don't even need to look at science or come up with deep and meaningful explanation to say what the bible is 'really' saying. ive showed that a bush can catch on fire without the hand of god. i showed that people in those times would have attributed that circumstance to god. tribes still have that way of thinking today, because they live so isolated from the rest of the world. all im saying is think.

"dont knock it 'til you've tried it."
have you ever read the book that you are bashing
Well, where do you think lightning comes from? Also, the scripture says that the bush burned for a long, long tinme without being consumed by the fire and that God "spoke to Moses from out of the burning bush; try to explain that as a natural occurance in nature.

Oh video, so much more believable.

too right. people still won't believe in the moon landing even though there's a video, so what amount of proof is actually needed to prove something.
