I am here to debate and proclaim the gospel.

Also, why do you feel it necessary to quote the bible? Do you think that we are all unfamiliar with this text? Do you believe that by merely copying a few passages we will be instantly won over by your remarkable charisma and impeccable charm? If you wish to perform well in this community, you must change your style of apologetics. People with your zeal and unwaivering frankness are a dime-a-dozen on these forums. We see them come and go all the time. I, for one, always enjoy a good conversation regarding the nature/reasonableness of aspects of theology, but not many here will take you very seriously if you try to rain fire and brimstone down on every point you attempt to make.

What type of Christian are you? Are you charismatic, evangelical, fundamentalist? Or perhaps are you one of those liberal evangelicals? If this is you you may not be saved.

[QUOTE=gagster]I'd rather not. Most money doesn't taste very good.

What are you trying to say here? The only thing I can figure is you're trying to say "Put your money where your mouth is", which would be a way of saying that you're challenging me to a debate. Is that what you're trying to do? If so, I'm sorry, but I have no interest in debating this subject and I have no interest in debating you.

Okay


<No. Why should I? In three rounds, you were late three times. As best I can tell, your (two) posts were written at the last minute. The last minute of a two week period is no longer than the last minute of a one week period.>

You are wrong.

<<My eyes and ears work just fine. That's why I believe that the reality does not match your claims. Go ahead and get right back in another debate if you really want to. I suspect that the same factors that caused you to abandon this debate will cause you to abandon the next. So, I really think you should take a break for at least a few months, follow other debates, contribute to the peanut gallery and seriously contemplate whether or not you're ready for another try. But, if you insist on trying to prove me wrong, I can't stop you (and wouldn't if I could). Good luck.>>

HE AND SHE WHO HAS EARS LET THEM HEAR!

MY SPIRIT IS NOT BOUND BY TIME NOR SPACE, AND THOSE THAT WILL BENEFIT FROM MY PRESCENCE AND TESTIMONY, WILL STAND WITHIN THE SOUND OF MY PROCLAMATION FOR JESUS CHRIST AND HIS HOLY BIBLE!

So? If you are hostile to people, you are not manifesting the fruits of the Spirit, and may not be saved. It is not for us to know; re-read the parable of the wheat and the tares. All we can do is trust God and do our best, leaving the judgment to the only One competent to do it.

Sure, if you take "the last minute" as being literal. It probably took you as much as three or four minutes to slap that together.

Typing in all capital letters is considered equivalent to "shouting" in Net etiquette conventions. Bolding those capital letters is considered equivalent to a psychotic meltdown with blood dripping from your ears.

You've used the reference to Biblical bigotry against physically handicapped people before, as well as here, but the Bible does not say "He and she," it just says "He". If you're going to go ahead and promote bigotry against physically handicapped people, why not allow the sexual discrimination as well?

So you imagine all sorts of people standing at the sound of your proclamation for Jesus Christ and His Holy Bible. Is that anything like people standing for the Star Spangled Banner at a baseball game, or the audience rising for the Hallelujah Chorus at performances of Handel's The Messiah? What if that doesn't actually happen? I suppose you could pretend it's happening. But that's not nearly as satisfying as it would be if it was real.

How is testing the doctrine of another hostile?

With the nett effect of sounding like the infamous god warrior from 'trading spouses'.

And this should have nothing to do with the argument... plus, Wayne never said he was disabled.
Now, I've been in my share of chat rooms. I've seen people 'pick' things out of things other people say, put words in their mouths, and use it to insult them. It happens regularly. Its childish and stupid, and it seems to me, you're doing that to wayne (Assuming that he is disabled because he defends disabled people...)
Consequently, from having low opinions of people in chat rooms and games who use this technique of name-calling, you've just lowered your own opinion in my eyes.

Hey, maybe I've misread the comments. I've checked the last few pages over, hoping that is so.

I am sorry that some of you are complete hermits, but most people over a thanksgiving Holiday will be taking the time out for family and friends.

Yes I admitted I did not calculate the amount of time needed given my circumstances at the moment, but my rebutt will be posted by Tuesday. I suspect everyone here to disagree with me, and I expect you to attack me like you did Jason.

Wow. If that's what you expect, then that's probably what you'll perceive. On the other hand, if you expect intellectual honesty, then you increase the chances of finding it.

At first, watching you disintegrate was almost fascinating in a bizarre kind of way, like watching more and more and more clowns exit a tiny little car.

By now it's become old, and boring, and more than a little sad-- like watching more and more and more clowns exit a tiny little car.
