Importance of Original Sin

I think this is a very important point. Fundie Christians tend to think that the ideas they have have existed since time immemorial. This is a very clear and important example that some of the important concepts they hold dear are much later concepts than they think.Those interested should read up on Irenaeus.

That folks says it all right there. Ant attempt Phat ever made to make a coherent reasoned comment about religion or the bible is destroyed utterly by this one comment.
This is beyond word salad, it is beyond delusion. But it tells us a lot about the thinking of a certain segment of religious people.

Well with people like you as its publicists why the hell would I even think it could have anything to teach me.I have read the bible(The Jerusalem, King James, Good News, New Revised Catholic Edition)4 times now. Are you telling me I am reading it wrong? How am I supposed to read it so that it teaches this divine wisdom you claim is in it?

It should because your arguments are just words strung together that you think sound impressive. You present Lewis and others as experts, but all they give are their beliefs and feelings without anything to back up their assertions. Lewis is a mess of logical fallacies. Try searching CS Lewis logical fallacies and read. I suggest using Duckduckgo. No ads, no tracking, anonymousYou waste pixels, that I why I dislike your posts.

Have I said such a thing? If all you have is a strawman why do you even bother posting? Now that is just plain stupid. Please, if you don't have anything that responds what I actually posted, please don't post.

No you didn't. More fallacy?Did you do what I suggested and research Lewis?

So you didn't bother searching CS Lewis logical fallacies. You certainly don't want to learn anything that might threaten your belief set. Well if he provided support being a moron would be unlikely and irrelevant.

Did you ever bother researching a little about Lewis and his use of logical fallacies? Or is learning not really that important?The whole faith trumps evidence thing?

By posting as he does it makes it easier for him to live by the credo "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit."

Well you seem not to have received that gift and have no clue how to impart said light. I don't have the same beliefs as you so my heart is "black". What a typical christian comment. You sure have a funny way of proselytizing.

No. He could be none of the above. A real pissant.(Cue Monty Python)
Or just a fantasy.(Cue Aldo Nova)Edited by Theodoric, : No reason given.

Not sure you actually understand what allusion means.But i think you are actually making elusions.

That explains a lot.

The footnotes are extensive and are almost a commentary on the Bible text. Some footnotes deal with textual and translational matters, but most are comments on what is in the Bible text — interpreting and explaining what is there, and applying it to personal and church life. Some of the notes are good and helpful, but many promote some of the peculiar teachings of The Local Church. These include what seems to be a modalistic understanding of the Triune God, calling on the name of the Lord, the mingling of the divine with human in believers, and an eschatology which, while pre-millennial, includes several unusual particulars.

The Recovery Version is controversial in large part because of its extensive footnotes, which promote Local Church theology.

Which a lot of Christians consider a cult.
Recovery VersionYour views are very far from mainstream chrisitanity. I suppose it is time for a No True Scotsman.

As a moderator you of all people should understand we do not argue via link in this forum.Tha would be #5 of the forum rules.

5. Bare links with no supporting discussion should be avoided. Make the argument in your own words and use links as supporting references.

As I, and probably others, do not click on links, there is no way for me to know the argument you are trying to present unless you actually present it.If I were still allowed to I would jeer your post. You would then think I was attacking your personally. I am not jeering you, I am jeering your inability to support your own arguments.

Is that what you mean.
