Re: Throwing Out The Baby(in the manger) With The Bathwater
I wish you'd stop talking about "evidence" as if it were the exclusive possession of unbelievers. For pete's sake nobody can think at all about anything without recognizing the evidence for and against whatever proposition you are considering.

Re: Critical thinking/ spiritual discernment.
One of the criminals recognized Him and therefore was saved. The other was not. Jesus was asking God to forgive those who crucified Him, however, all of them.

Re: Critical thinking/ spiritual discernment.
That may be so but that passage nevertheless is about sin and not about doctrine. I don't have a problem with it myself since I really don't address people's sin. I figure it's none of my business unless there is some compelling reason to bring it up with the person him/herself, or it reaches criminal proportions which affect all of us.

Re: Critical thinking/ spiritual discernment.
I don't assume it, I know it from the evidence.

Re: Critical thinking/ spiritual discernment.
The Sermon on the Mount is a list of principles, and in that case one has succeeded the other and isn't to be taken as continuing it.

Re: Critical thinking/ spiritual discernment.
I gave the evidence for having spiritual discernment as the change of heart from coldness toward God and the things of God to loving God and loving His word. I can add the fact that there really is a "peace that passes understanding" that comes over me when I think of biblical truths of many kinds, think of God Himself, of Jesus. That is evidence. Also using it because you can't use it unless you recognize that it's there, and that's evidence. Further evidence is recognizing the validity of the traditional understanding done by others who are also born again and have spiritual discernment, and despising the work of mere fleshly scholars. I'm sure there's more.
