Re: Biblically Unique Fundamentals
Over 75 posts down and you still haven't shown us how New Testament Fundi Christians have blessed atheists, Roman Catholics and Others.
How did they bless the Native Americans by taking their land?
How did they contribute to the prosperity of what became the United States?
quote:
2. The exclusive Christian fundamental that Jesus taught of loving one's enemy, doing good to those who despitefully use you and leaving the vengeance up to the Biblical god, Jehovah. Matthew 5:44
Jesus was not the first to teach 'Love Your Enemy'
quote:
Earnest regular study the Bible. II 2:15
Studying one's religion is not unique. If the Christian Fundi's actually did study the Bible earnestly with the intent to learn and understand, they would know that the so called fundamentals you listed, aside from the love your enemy one, are useless in conferring prosperity or happiness on a nation.
quote:
6. Supporting/blessing the messianic nation Israel according to the Abrahamic covenant and messianic prophecies.
I don't see that Christianity has always been supportive of the Jewish Nation. Pogroms Against Jews
As you have been asked several times and have still failed to do, please provide evidence that NT Fundi Christians Bless Atheists, Roman Catholics and Others.
Show that fundamentals unique to the NT actually played a part in conferring prosperity or happiness on a nation.
You've made general statements. Now it is time to get specific and provide specific evidence; otherwise you're just wasting time and space.

Be Specific
quote:
This is the Coffee House. A lot is asserted here by us all. I'm asserting that the cause and effect of our blessings are largly due to the fact that Jehovah exists and that his covenants are to be taken seriously.
The rules still apply in the Coffee House, the topic just doesn't have to be in line with Evolution vs Creation. You need to have evidence or reasoned argumentation. You've provided neither, but demand evidence from others. Not really playing fair, are you?
Specifically list what you consider to be blessings for Atheists, RC, and others.
You aren't providing anything to build a discussion upon and at 105 posts, we've still stuck at asking for evidence. Imagine that.

Re: Be Specific
quote:
That's your opinion and nothing more PD. Do you believe in the Abrahamic Covent to which I alluded. Evidently not. Do I have hard evidence that Jehovah exists and that the Abrahamic Covenant, to which Biblical fundies ascribe to, is causational? Likely most here would say no.
It has nothing to do with believing. You want us to believe what you say instead of showing us that what you are saying is reality.
Causation
1. the action of causing or producing.
2. the relation of cause to effect; causality.
3. anything that produces an effect; cause.
Causality is the relationship between an event (the cause) and a second event (the effect), where the second event is understood as a consequence of the first
This thread won't go anywhere until you provide some real information. Get to the guts of the issue please.
