The Ringo/jar argument: Christianity is about what we do.
Why call that "the Ringo/jar argument". Why not call it "The Jesus Argument" -- it is what Jesus clearly taught.Fundamentalism - the anti-American, anti-Christian branch of American Christianity

Phat, the verses containing the very earliest recorded history are John 1:1-2. That's not history. It is philosophy. And it is a poetic metaphor, rather than a description.Fundamentalism - the anti-American, anti-Christian branch of American Christianity

I say that in my mind, God made a change. And I say that Phat made a change.Fundamentalism - the anti-American, anti-Christian branch of American Christianity

Why cant it be both, acting in Communion? That seems to leave is with two possibilities: (1) Phat doesn't exist, except as God's puppet; or (2) God doesn't exist, except as Phat's puppet. I think I prefer the second of those.Fundamentalism - the anti-American, anti-Christian branch of American Christianity

And there are many more that contradict clear Biblical teaching. I'll just note that clear Biblical teaching is not at all clear.Fundamentalism - the anti-American, anti-Christian branch of American Christianity

You can lay out articles day after day; month after months; and, year after year, but dating methods rely on assumptions. And, assuming something is not science; it is guesswork. Every time you take a step while walking, you assume that your foot won't fall through the ground. That's an assumption. All of life is full of assumptions. Even mathematics depends on assumptions (which we call axioms). You cannot get away from depending on assumptions. The assumptions that science makes are well tested.Fundamentalism - the anti-American, anti-Christian branch of American Christianity

Nwr, the wrong assumption can lead to wrong conclusions. Agreed. However, the assumptions behind radio carbon dating have been thoroughly tested. We understand that you don't like them because they thoroughly refute your YEC beliefs. But your YEC beliefs are only an assumptioin.Fundamentalism - the anti-American, anti-Christian branch of American Christianity

Even if we lay assumptions aside, we cannot get past the absence of transitional fossils. There are lots of transitional fossils.
Nor, can we get around the fact that never has life been observed coming from non-life. I'll note that no actual god has ever been observed.Fundamentalism - the anti-American, anti-Christian branch of American Christianity

It is this whole Godless attitude of the left that I abhor. I am more concerned about the fake Christians on the right.
Obama and some other Liberals are in favor of allowing abortions (murders) up until 28 days after birth. You are a prime example of those fake Christians. There you are spreading false rumors. You are violating the commandment about bearing false witness. Jesus said "By their fruits ye shall know them." And that's how we can tell that you are a fake Christian. You are in a cult. You spread false rumors because your cult leaders tell you to believe them. Your God gave you a brain. You are supposed to use it. Get out of that cult, for your own sake. Stop spreading evil lies.Fundamentalism - the anti-American, anti-Christian branch of American Christianity

Nwr, are you saying that God despises those who try to protect innocent life? You are not trying to protect innocent life when you are making false accusations. If anything, you are endangering innocent life.
There is no cult worse, nor even close, to that of the Liberal, Progressive Democrats. I wouldn't know. I'm not a Democrat. But I believe you are making a mistake when you conflate "progressive" with "liberal".Fundamentalism - the anti-American, anti-Christian branch of American Christianity

Nwr, I don't make false accusations, that would be a violation of the 9th Commandment. But you did indeed make a false accusation, as I pointed out in Message 720.
Progressives are more hard-core and determined in in their pursuit of Liberal policies. I observe many liberals criticizing progressive policies. As I mentioned before, you are in a cult. You cannot tell what is true and what is false, because your cult feeds you false information.Fundamentalism - the anti-American, anti-Christian branch of American Christianity

Nwr, I looked at post 720, and all I saw was someone who supports any and all abortions Then you are not seeing straight. What I see in that post, is where I quoted you telling a deliberate and malicious falsehood. For the record, I do not "support any and all abortions". So that's another malicious falsehood.Fundamentalism - the anti-American, anti-Christian branch of American Christianity

Dwise, there are a number of verses that condemns abortion in the Bible. Have you tried looking for verses that recommend abortion?Fundamentalism - the anti-American, anti-Christian branch of American Christianity

Conserve means to conserve the ways of life that has made America the envy of the world. Most of the people who call themselves conservatives do not fit that description.
Progress, for Liberals, means castrating young boys; cutting of the breasts of young girls; killing little babies as they are being born; allowing fat males (Brian Nguyen) to win Miss America, and, men (Thomas) to win female swimming titles. They make the ignorant believe that males are toxic and that women should always be believed. That all whites are racists, and, that all police should be abolished. Complete bullshit. I'm a liberal, but I do not believe any of those things. Why are you so consumed with hatred?Fundamentalism - the anti-American, anti-Christian branch of American Christianity

You call castrating young boys good; when in fact it is pure evil. That's a false accusation. You are violating your commandment about bearing false witness.
All of the things that I mentioned about the Liberal party is true. There's no such thing as "the Liberal party" in the USA. I am not a member of any political party. I prefer to remain independent. There are also some decent conservatives whom I can respect. But the Republican party in the USA has become very evil. I grew up as a Christian, but came to doubt some of the core beliefs. But the real reason that I left Christianity, was because the church was so hopelessly unchristian. Sorry to say it, but you are one of those who are unchristian. You spread false information, and you make false accusations. Jesus said "By their fruits ye shall know them." And that's why I see you as unchristian.Fundamentalism - the anti-American, anti-Christian branch of American Christianity
