Re: Schraf I can tell you a couple things for sure about salvation.
No, because they would be deceived, as that wouldn't be God telling them that.
But according to the bible, God has ordered people to do something very similar in the past, so why wouldn't he do so again?

Re: Schraf I can tell you a couple things for sure about salvation.
Many many reasons a person can only know by knowing the Bible well and believing it.
Sorry Faith, your answer is just a dodge, a non-answer. That's ok, I'm used to that sort of response from the faithful.

Re: Schraf I can tell you a couple things for sure about salvation.
And I'm used to the kind of blind debunkery I get from you and others here too, so I guess we're even.
I wasn't trying to debunk anything, I merely asked how do YOU know that your christian god wouldn't do something that he supposedly had done in the past. You responded with a lame, vague response about having to know the bible well and believe it. Well the bible doesn't say anywhere in it that god won't order his people to go kill another group of people.

Re: Belief a choice?
No she can't! Besides how do you know if souls exist and if they do that invisible pink (or purple) unicorns aren't and integral part of them? What are souls and what are they made of?

Re: Belief a choice?
No, she really can't and neither can I. No matter how many times you say that we could, if we just wanted to, it's not true for us. Maybe we just don't have the blind belief/religion gene that you do or maybe we just aren't as gullible and actually need some evidence for things before we accept them.
I'm not sure what your link was all about or how it pertained to the discussion.
The matter of souls is several topics in and of itself so we won't accomplish anything by discussing it here. The only point I wanted to make was that a soul is as detectable as the invisible pink unicorn and therefore deserves about the same level of belief.
