Re: OT: Bible Discussion (Split from Real World Sensitivities)

Whoops, we seem to have cast Growing Fury on the Badger.... ;)

I can't possibly respond to everything in this entire post. Actually, I've suddenly become very busy, so this may be my last post for...

Re: Real-world sensitivities and game names

Well, I'm sorry if my belief system doesn't match yours and we disagree about things. But I don't have to accept yours, in the same way as you don't have to accept mine.[/QUOTE]
I never said that...

Re: Real-world sensitivities and game names

God alone has the power to forgive sins. Without that power, Jesus wouldn't be much good as a Savior.


Jesus (God the Son) is not the same entity as God the Father. They are both members of the...

Re: Real-world sensitivities and game names

To clarify, the existence of bad behavior among Christians -- or even bad Christians -- does not disprove the Gospel. After all, there is plenty of greed, hatred, jealousy, and strife among...

Re: OT: Bible Discussion (Split from Real World Sensitivities)

That's true as far as it goes, but it doesn't go far enough.

If you reject the Bible, why would you believe that Jesus was a prophet of God? For that matter, why would you believe that Jesus was...

Re: OT: Bible Discussion (Split from Real World Sensitivities)

You posted a lot of quotations, but I wanted to respond to this one. It reminded me of a passage from Acts 5:33-39:

You go, Rabbi! ;)

Re: OT: Bible Discussion (Split from Real World Sensitivities)

Thanks for your openness. May I ask: Why would you feel better if you found God? Is something missing that you believe that God could provide, if you could only find Him?

I can't speak for other...

Re: Real-world sensitivities and game names

Christians have many doctrinal disputes among us -- baptism, Holy Communion, church authority, etcetera -- but there are also central truths that must be held in common. The divinity of Christ is one...

Re: Real-world sensitivities and game names

No, I am not self-reliant. I'll freely admit that. I am totally reliant on God for everything that I have, everything that I am, and even the very breath in my lungs.

I could pretend otherwise. I...

Re: OT: Bible Discussion (Split from Real World Sensitivities)

God did "just" forgive them. He's capable of doing it, and He did it. He paid the price for it.


No, all forgiveness has a price. When the sin is not very great, the price is not very high. If I...

Re: Real-world sensitivities and game names

Firstly, thanks to all of the people who have thanked me. It is challenging to be the only (as far as I can tell) fundamentalist Christian in a virtual sea of agnostics, atheists, and other...

Re: Real-world sensitivities and game names

Conversion by force doesn't work. Jesus wants you to follow Him freely. He wants your heart, not merely your surface obedience. For example, see Amos 5.

If God was only interested in forced...

Re: OT: Bible Discussion (Split from Real World Sensitivities)

We need to draw a very careful distinction between Truth and literalism. Fundamentalist Christians like me believe the Bible to be true. We believe that Scripture is the infallible and inspired Word...

Re: Real-world sensitivities and game names

This is the essential premise that must be laid down before leaders can develop a militant "us vs them" mentality. You call non-believers "fundamentally different", but between the two quotes...

Re: Real-world sensitivities and game names

All across America, Christianity is being challenged in the courts on a daily basis. Michael Newdow and his quixotic challenges against the Pledge of Allegiance come to mind. (And the Pledge isn't...

"This is a game for adults. Grown children who insist on being insulted by everything should feel free not to play."

Fixed that for you. :) As a politically-incorrect conservative, I often find...
