Question for Towshab

Participant

Hi Tow,
No there are no proofs for you.
But it shows the problems lack of faith in Christ leads to.

What problems? I know of none in my life. Well, none related to lack of belief in Jesus. I could lose a few pounds, exercise more, etc. but that has nothing to do with Jesus.

Hi tow,
The Pharisees said they were disciples of Moses.
They said God spoke to Moses.
But you do not believe that.

Since when? Hey, now you are defining what I do and don't believe. Good thing you are not a psychic, you'd go out of business.

Hi tow,
Well you told us about some parlour tricks .
You can't say you believe him
then call him a liar.

Nick,

You have no answers. The best you can do is twist. How deluded you are. Your thread is weakening every second.

Hi Tow,
Well do you believe in Moses or is he a liar and one who does magic tricks?

Participant

I believe in Moses. I also believe that the supposed plagues were natural events that were then written up as “miracles”. No lying involved, just people who were easily impressed.

Hi Tow,
So Moses was not told by God to warn Pharaoh about these impending events either?
And the plagues would have to have been lied about too?
Was Moses moving in the divine power of prophecy?

The problem with you not believing in 'christ' is that it is much harder for them to use it as a hammer to beat you over the head with.

Hi Stu,
But just what does he believe in ?

Maybe he is a human being, with all the wonderful qualities and frailties that go with that identity. Perhaps he bleeds and loves just like you, maybe he has developed a way of getting along with others in the world as all have to, and maybe he has experienced but then chosen not to base every detail of his existence on the literal reading of a single set of books of very dodgy provenance, but takes from them what is useful for him, as he does from other sources too. Perhaps he enjoys a good challlenge and sees the opportunity to challenge others, for their own growth as much as the pure challenge.

Perhaps he believes that people should not go into christian faith as blindly and ignorantly as many seem to.

What else could you read between his lines?

Hi Tow,
So from all we have been able to gather
the basis of your faith
is you.

Nick that is another original opinion you have shared. Do you need a cup of tea and a sit down away from the computer for a while? {/condescention}

Hi Stu,
You have a foundation of your so called understanding.
You have admitted it is a very unstable base.
Such is sand.

Since you have nothing useful to build on to offer
then perhaps you too should consider the rock of scripture.
Faith in God and His sacred Word is everlastingly sound and secure.

Good to see you've recovered and the bland dogma is back.

Tell me how that is different than you, or anyone. One day YOU decided to accept Jesus, one day YOU decided that the bible was 100% true. One day YOU chose to believe Islam, Buddhism, Judaism, etc. where not the way to G-d but that Christianity was.

So in the end, YOU are the basis of your faith too.

Hi Stu,

Build on the Rock

Matthew 7:24-28

24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. 26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.” 28 And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His teaching,
