miraculous disbelief
We are dependent on oxygen, water and food. We need them to survive. An addiction is a dependence on something that we don't need to survive - like heroin or belief in God.
Uh...? hmm? what? Cough, hack, puke!
Did you forget that you're going to die?
John 11: 25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; 26 and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?
The only reason I brought up the need (addiction) for AnswersTM was with respect to miracles: A miracle is "less miraculous", I said, if we look at the gory details.
Tell that to the theoretical physicists and see what they say...

Re: miraculous disbelief
It doesn`t matter what religion or 'isms' you believe in, you will never convince fellow debaters if you keep quoting endlessly from your doctrine.
I'm not trying to convince anyone. I can't.
No amount of Scriptures, from whatever source, cut the slightest ice with someone who doesn`t believe your dogma.
It's not my dogma.
So quoting the Bible continually is a waste of time and bandwidth.
Really?
Try to stand outside your religion for a while and use reasoning on a human level, not a religious one.
Like I have the answers... Yeah! they'll listen to me?
You can still make points and explain yourself without descending to a poster boy for what someone may or may not have said millenia ago.
He did say those things. That's why they killed Him.
You can raise Scriptural issues without a lengthy broadside of quotations that I just skip over.
It's too bad that you seek numinal wisdom from phenomenal men.
A presentation of a thought should be to the point, not endless waffle. Try it.
To what avail?

Inane?
Well I'm speechless! And that's saying something (pun intended).
Tell mrs. pacman I said hello.

Re: Topic
Romans 10:13-15
for "whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved." How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, "how beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things!"
