@Blakjag:

I probably shouldn't do this but, can you give us at least a couple of the main points of your religion or books, or main reasons for their existence? I mean, like I have said in the past, the reasons for the Bible are basically, in simplistic form:
1. Salvation of souls for the afterlife;
2. Directions and instructions for living a better life here.

Regarding #1 above: It seems that all people die. There don't seem to be any coming forward and saying that they are 500-years-old. At least not with any evidence to back it up. I haven't even seen it. Salvation of souls for the afterlife has to do with saving people's personal identities - their souls - so that they can be reunited with their bodies in the resurrection of all people at the last day.

Regarding #2 above: The Bible gives instructions for living a good life here. It is filled with many examples of how God favors people who follow the instructions. It gives many examples of how God is against those people who don't follow the instructions, even though He patiently puts up with them, often for a long time. In addition, it shows how difficult it is to live a life that follows the instructions entirely.

Do you maybe have a couple points that you can list like that, regarding  your religious writings? Or if your writings have instructed you not to make points from their content, might you at least tell us that much? Or is that what you have been doing by not giving us any solid points? And your writings not only tell you to NOT restate any points, but also that you may not even state that you are not supposed to restate point?

If you have stated points already, please restate a couple of them is simlistic style like I have stated #1 and #2 above. Even LaudaM who is generally at odds with the things that I say, seems to want some simple points listed, in this quote:

His name was Immanuel, which means 'God is with us.'

So who gave him the name 'Jesus'?

There you go.

Make believe points that are really questions to me rather than points about your beliefs.

Is that you don't know what you believe?

If you were asking this question because you wanted to know the answer, I might answer you. However, since you seem to know all about it, you either know who gave Him the name Jesus, or you know that you could find out.

I'm not interested in playing that game with you.

You tell ME, how anyone can make judgment or discernment through NOT EXPERIENCING?


So you denounce because you "simply have priorities"?  

Please take care of yourself; I already found TRUTH for myself.


You can be sure that these are the most important writings of our age; you can critically examine them with the content-source problem in mind.

You denounce out of ignorance; you cling to your book and avoid knowledge. God is Great; God sent messengers just as promised.

BADecker,

You have not done any comparison; I asked you to quote my book/audio to show exactly how it is evil.
Everyone can see that you denounce my truth out of pure ignorance.
That is why our discussions go nowhere--because you refuse to engage, period. Perhaps it HAS TO BE THAT WAY.


There is no need to denounce your brother at all, BADecker.

You cannot use another book to say that my book is evil. That is idolatry.

IF ANYTHING BE PLACED BEFORE GOD--IT IS EVIL, GOOD FRIEND!

Why do you need "points of benefit" when I am offering you Truth? Truth is not enough?


God always enjoins you to study ALL that you have basis for recognizing Truth and GIVE YOUR POWER TO NO MAN NOR ENTITY FOR GOD DWELLS WITHIN THE TEMPLE WHICH IS YOU.

BADecker, I recognize that your book is your idol, unto whom you bow for truth. Still, I must emphasize:

IF ANYTHING BE PLACED BEFORE GOD--IT IS EVIL, GOOD FRIEND!

God always enjoins you to study ALL that you have basis for recognizing Truth and GIVE YOUR POWER TO NO MAN NOR ENTITY FOR GOD DWELLS WITHIN THE TEMPLE WHICH IS YOU.
