Re: Operative Mechanism of Faith
Christ's entering into death for our sins, being buried, and raising to become your God in the Heavenly places
When Christianity is simplified like this it is easy to see how people can have doubts. It's amazing that nayone takes this serioulsy at all.
Maybe the guy in the OP had simply grown up. I mean who over the age of 12 would believe in something like this, the guy has grown up and realised that these myths belong in the ancient world and not in the 21st century.

Re: Operative Mechanism of Faith
The Gospel is foolishness to anyone capable of having a single free thought.
The brothers Grimm would have been proud of it.
For a God who didn't want mindless moronic robots following Him, He sure has got a lot of them.

Re: Operative Mechanism of Faith
Just curious: Do you have objective evidence that believers in the gospel are
mindless
robotic
morons?
Yes, here
Or do you merely impose your own prejudice that anyone who believes in it is these things by definition?
'are' these things. I didn't say 'anyone', just a certain type.
Not quite sure how to test for mindlessness though
It's easy, ask someone if they believe that the Bible is 100% accurate in everything it claims. If they say 'yes' then bingo.
Do you have IQ statistics for believers in the gospel of Christ to compare to
I am afraid that they failed to register on the assessment scale. They weren't able to think for themselves and just sat there praying for help.
But it is good to have doubts about things you believe in, makes your faith stronger I hear, or destroys it. It must take a very brave person to question things, good luck to the guy.

Re: Operative Mechanism of Faith
Faith is talking about anyone who believes in the Gospel, I am not talking about 'anyone' who believes in the Gospel, i am talking about a particular type.
I would hope you are not implying that Faith is of lesser intelligence because she messed up on her verbs....which she didn't.
Im not implying anything about Faith. I am sure that she is a very intelligent lady.
