There is probably nothing any of us can say to change Timmy's mind, and if we are trying so hard it's probable because if we did end up changing his mind, we would then "prove" the Truth to ourselves once again.

Timmy, I know the Truth, and it has made me free. You know a fair amount of the Scriptures, but you reject them. I want to live my life peaceably, and you probably want to do the same. There is no point to me trying to change you or vice versa.

Everyone here has bought into the "Christians have to be "nice"" idea... I have not, so I say this very easily- you are a lost cause.

And I say it with a smile on my face

-Bro. Alex

On the one hand, Alex, you smack my hand for being a "fear tactic" and then you proceed to end yours with a doomsday message. Listen, it wasn't a fear tactic, and I resent you for suggesting that. If you had read my point, you would have understood. Reasoning why you don't believe should be solid... and more solid than reasons why you should believe.

KWS, that sounds ridiculous, bud.

The scripture says it Growing pains would you like me to post it...

KWSS1976 · #**104** 07-09-2009, 11:16 AM

You guys will throw the tongues out on that scripture in a heart beat when one ask but when the shoe is on the other foot I see how it is

We can launch gernades of Scripture all day. I'm not saying it's ridiculous because the scriptures say it, but because you could probably provide a response to your own question just as easy.

Interpretation. Bible was written with literalism, analogies, parables, poetries, hyperbole, all sorts of instruments we have at the expense of language.

I'll retract that if you sincerely have that question, then I'm sorry for pouncing on you for it. We can certainly help answer it for you.

KWS, let's put that on another thread. I think you'll enjoy the responses.

Timmy not trying to highjack your thread only making a point about picking and choosing out of the bible as people do it is amazing that the bible is the "infallible word of god"and people do not want to test the scriptures.....

KWS you are making the great assumption that this verse has not been answered/understood and articulated hundreds of times of centuries. That's not a good example of "picking and choosing" as most believe that verse -- they just don't think it means that a Christian ought to go jump off a building to see if they'll fly, or to drink a vat of poison to prove the verse. There's a greater lesson in it. Zoom out and see it.

I know what the scripture is saying...
