If you are looking at people, you aren't really paying attention to what scripture says. There is nothing in scripture that says that people are good. In fact, scripture makes it pretty clear that people are not good. There is One that is good, and that is God.

The faith is not about being a "good" person. The faith is about recognizing your own faults, getting some humility from that realization, and showing others charity as you have been shown charity. The faith is about keeping it real, recognizing that God is The Supreme and Ultimate Reality, and loving God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.

Is discernment a gift of the spirit? Certainly. Those who love the truth will be more in line with the truth when they make moral decisions. Those who bow down to idols will allow their idols to corrupt the truth that they do cling on to.

The Supreme and Ultimate Reality is God.

That is what "God" with a capital "G" means.

The ones who do know that this is what they are talking about tend to avoid it because even they know it looks stupid to argue, "It is the truth that there is no truth, and it is reality that there is no reality! Prove to me that there is such a thing as proof! Hah! You have shown me no proof, there is no evidence!"

If they don't believe in God, they don't believe in truth, so they aren't being honest when they ask for evidence.

No, good atheist arguments are always against little "g" gods, not The Big G.

It doesn't matter whether or not you believe in The Supreme and Ultimate Reality, it clearly exists, and no amount of cleverness or mental gymnastics is going to get around this.

The Supreme and Ultimate Reality by necessity must exist. It is intrinsic to what that means.

Why do people have a problem with God? Because they believe that the things people tell them about God are God. They are superstitious. They are the people who automatically assume that a UFO is a spaceship piloted by little grey man like creatures. It's called an unidentified flying object because it is in the air and we don't know what it is. So with that understanding, what does "The Supreme and Ultimate Reality" mean? What does God mean?

This is really something everyone should have common ground on. The existence of God should not even be up for debate. Atheism is not a defensible position. It's practically an academic joke to make know it students expose themselves as being fools. It works really well, because know it all students tend to be that way because they think so highly of themselves. It is easy to get them to think they "know better" than to fall for that God scam.

Seriously, take every atheist argument against God, and I don't mean scripture or any of that.. I mean arguments directed at God. Now replace the word "God" with "The Supreme and Ultimate Reality" and see how stupid the argument sounds.

Yes, atheism is stupid. It is stupid because God obviously exists, that is damn near the defining characteristic of God. EXISTENCE.

That doesn't make atheists stupid, that makes them ignorant. If they knew any better, they wouldn't be atheists.

Real deal atheists? The ones shouting from the rooftop "There is no truth! There is no reality! I'm a little tea pot short and stout!" will die in their sins, because to deny truth is an unforgivable blasphemy. Let them live out the rest of their lives in the hell they have created for themselves. They deserve it.

If you are feeling like you are being bullied over the internet, it means you need to get out more.

Fresh air is a lot more fun. Being on the internet all the time makes you dumb. The world is falling apart around you people, and all you can do is worry about what a bunch of loser malcontents say on some internet website? For a lot of these people, it is probably a way for them to let out aggression in a world that has hammered them into submission otherwise. They are weak, and their weakness is let out here. Let them take their drugs.

That is what this place is. That is what all this amusement is. Drugs.

One day, when it all shuts down, all you electronic crack junkies will be standing around with your hands on your genitals. You will get robbed. You will starve. You will deserve it. Maybe you should have been doing something more useful with your time instead of bowing down to worthless idols. You know, like developing life skills, meaningful relationships, discipline, or growing into a decent human being.

No, instead of working hard and practicing good stewardship, you'd rather do everything half ass, blow all your money on vanities, and argue with people over the internet.

Argue with someone who can't even look you in the eye. Argue with someone who you can't even tell is laughing at you will they intentionally lie to you. Argue with someone who probably isn't taking in a single word you say. For what?

It's all vanity. It's better to keep it real.

The Supreme and Ultimate Reality is God. Surrender to God, and forsake idolatry.

What should I be addressing?

A fascist is a bundle of sticks.

A bundle of sticks is also called a faggot.

Therefore, fascists are faggots.

Fascism means "Reality is kindling for the fire"

A "fascist state" would therefore be a mode or condition of being set on autodestruct.

I don't know what fascism is, that is just what I think about it.

Can you answer these questions?

"Why is it objectively immoral for one evolved bag of pond scum to kill 17 lesser bags of evolved pond scum?"

(If you don't believe this, please explain how it is objectively immoral)

"How do you rationally knows truth from fiction?"

I think if you answered this questions, it might lead to more edifying discussion about these things.

The fact that you are even talking about "right wing trolls" is evidence that you are feeding them.

You don't defeat trolls, because for them to win is to get you to talk. That is the whole point of that type of trolling.

I mean really, are you much better? What are you doing right now? You are obviously trolling. You aren't doing any better than those you point the finger at.

I'm sure you are loving all this attention. How much of it is even real? You are likely building your own hype up, assuming there is even any hype at all.

I don't believe the hype. All I see is you calling yourself number one and bragging about how you spill the entrails of your enemies.

Good show. You make a good clown.

Atheism of course can be a desire for God to not exist.

If God exists, that makes everyone WRONG.

To the self righteous, this has to be obnoxious.

Maybe if you accepted that I am talking about The Supreme and Ultimate Reality and not what you or I think that is, you'd have less trouble.

You'd also realize that there is absolutely nothing delusional about saying that God exists, and to say that God doesn't exist is inherently self defeating. It is like saying, "It is the truth that there is no truth!"

See, if you knew what I was talking about, you'd realize that your posturing is little more than arrogance. You are clearly in the wrong, and it has nothing to do with me being right. You aren't arguing against me, you are arguing against The Supreme and Ultimate Reality.

What does it matter if I'm stupid? Even someone who is stupid can understand that the truth isn't a lie and a lie isn't the truth.

Then you still believe in God, even if you don't believe in God the same way as other people do.

If you believe there is truth or reality at all, you believe in God.

The word "God" is English for "The Supreme and Ultimate Reality".

So you don't recognize the witness of various scriptures? That doesn't mean that you don't believe in God. Indeed, people believed in God even before these scriptures were written.

I recognize the witness, and I recognize the proof. That is why I can speak so boldly about Jesus Christ. It has been proven to me even if it hasn't been proven to you.

Of course God has thoughts though. The evidence of this is that you have thoughts. If God didn't have thoughts, how could you have thoughts? After all, if it is a reality that you have thoughts, it means that thoughts exist. If thoughts exist, it is by God that they exist.

Did God "create itself"? No, of course not. The reason why this is theologically unsound is because God is not a created thing. Created things come from God. In fact, this is practically the distinction between God and everything else. The Supreme and Ultimate Reality is The Uncreated.

Because in Jewish theology, a name is not an arbitrary pronouncement of syllables, it is a real matter of identity. Not identity like, "this is what I call you", but identity like "This is a defining quality".

There are many names of God in the bible, and they all have meanings. Contemplating these names aide in revealing the true identity of God.

Who is God?

The Supreme and Ultimate Reality.

I AM THAT I AM is what God said.

The Supreme and Ultimate Reality is The Supreme and Ultimate Reality.

Or you know, the Word was God and the Word was with God, that sort of thing.

Talking about God here.... The Truth... The Way...

When people deny God, they are saying that there is no truth or reality. The existence of God should not even be up to debate. If there was ever any one thing that should be common ground, it should be God.

Not as long as there are a bunch of juvenile minded know it alls running around who think it is beneath them to give dignity to those who don't have the same garbage crammed in their heads as they do.

Yet that is kind of the nature of where it is we are. People who lean on their own understanding like to debate. They like to debate because they are insecure about their beliefs. Unfortunately, they are both insecure and prideful. As a result, they can't be seen changing their minds, and they can't help but make degrading comments towards those they see as being less than them.

Really, it amazes me that these people don't see how their mentality not only condemns just about everyone on the planet, but it also condemns them.

They don't know Jesus, but they think they do. If they knew Jesus, it would be better for them. If they could put aside their haughtiness for a moment and adopt an attitude of charity, the result would be more edification for everyone.

Of course, if you are here because you are full of pride and insecure, you aren't here for edification. Not for yourself or others.

I don't ruthlessly attack people. I hold back an awful lot. Why? Because I realize it isn't helpful to tell someone that I think they are really stupid. To me, that isn't a matter of their identity. Just because they believe a lot of stuff that I think is stupid doesn't mean that they are stupid. I want people to have a good time. I want to help, I really do. Do I sometimes slip up and call people names? Yeah, it happens. That doesn't mean that I think it is right. Besides that, I really do hold back an awful lot. It is a lot easier to be a raging arse head than it is to be genuinely polite. I try to take the more skillful route.

In my every day life, this is what I do. I help people. It is hard work, and a lot of times it is very thankless. It is a different environment. In the real world, my actions are my words. Here, my words are my actions. It is the opposite. You can't see what I'm doing here. I can't really be a friend here. This isn't my world. Besides that, I don't like spending a lot of time on the computer and I don't really have a lot of time to spend on the computer. In fact, I'm going to have a lot less time to spend on the computer after today. I am a very busy person. I work a lot. I have to work. I don't think people who are on this site all day know what it is like to have to work. When I am not working, I prefer to be outside.

So what? I just want everyone to know that my heart is heavy with compassion, and that is why I say and do the things I do here. I care about you, even if I think the opinions you express make you look like a monstrous and despicable person. The people I love in the real world are probably a lot worse than even the most wicked person on this site. I associate with killers, prostitutes, knee breakers, magicians, psychopaths, and those who are overcome by substance abuse on a daily basis. Why do I do that? Because I'm able to get along with these people without sacrificing my integrity. I preach the gospel everywhere I go, and most of that preaching comes from simply being a good friend. From showing CHARITY.

And that is what is really needed, not just here, but in the church, in politics, in the workplace, in the real world. More charity. Without charity, everyone will simply devour each other. Besides that, when we don't show charity, we condemn ourselves because we are guilty of the same things we accuse others of.

What am I? I'm just a man.. or a cartoon frog.. It doesn't matter. What does matter is that God is The Supreme and Ultimate Reality, and the good news is that The Truth sets you free. It's about keeping it real. Showing charity is part of keeping it real. We all have been shown a lot of charity. We all have been given a lot of grace. We are where we are because of so many factors outside of our own control. It isn't right to think so highly of the self. Keeping it real leads to humility. Honest humility leads to sincere charity.

Sincerity of faith and charity, that is the way. That is the right path. That is all I preach. What is the alternative? The worship of strife and chaos. A person who worships strife and chaos is not thinking about other people. They are thinking about themselves. They are working to satisfy their own lusts. They are doing it for the lulz.

Do you all want to get something meaningful accomplished through debate? Surrender to God, and show charity to one another. Seek and you will find. Knock and the door will be open.

In other words, "I know everything, so there is nothing anyone can teach me."

Good luck

All I hear is "I deny The Supreme and Ultimate Reality".

This instantly makes you wrong, so why should I care about the rest of the crap that is falling out of your head?

I don't believe in your knowledge falsely so called. You certainly aren't talking to me.

See, if you actually listened to me and understood what I was saying, you'd come to the realization that atheism is a self defeating position that is inherently foolish.

Yet here you are, expressing your own opinions very loudly while being resistant to conversation and even banning people. Narcissistic? So what if I am? It's very obvious to me that you are projecting. The measure you use to judge has been used to judge you.

Sorry, I don't see how your faith in God makes you any different than the pagan. You aren't fun. Get over yourself. You might as well be an atheist masquerading. You're worthless.

You might not care about my opinion, but I don't care that you don't care about my opinion. It would be better if you were thrown into the sea with an anchor tied around your leg.

Shitlord

I think it comes from having a superstitious idea of God. If your conception of God is anything other than THE SUPREME AND ULTIMATE REALITY, you aren't actually talking about the God that any real believer professes faith in. Besides that, you aren't talking about the God that is universally recognized from the scripture in all the major world religions.

Of course, atheists tend to debate people are superstitious ideas about God because it reinforces their own superstitious ideas of God.

They have no idea what they are doing.

There are also a lot of atheist who actually do believe in God, but because they are practitioners of magic(that is, the utilization of belief as a tool), it isn't in their best interests to point people to a conception of God that is actually real.

Atheism is either ignorance, foolishness, wickedness, or all three.

You can't go against God's will, don't be ridiculous. Whoever is denigrating your words, they are doing it by the will of God.

So is this your excuse?

I tell you, it makes no difference whether you forsake God or come to God. It is by God's will. It is God's will that you experience things the way that you do. It is also clearly God's will that the state of your consciousness changes over time. The you of today is not the same as the you of long past, and it won't be the same you as the you of the future.

I'm throwing around seeds because some of those seeds will land on fertile soil. Those who grow with God will have peace. What is peace? Accepting God's sovereignty over all things and aligning yourself with it. On Earth as it is in Heaven. What does that mean? It means to forsake delusion, and embrace THE TRUTH.

The TRUTH is what sets you free, and embracing the TRUTH will ultimately lead to a happier life.

I can't speak for anyone else, but the reason why I preach the good news is because I'd like for everyone on this planet to have a good time. It's not about me. I have my peace, and believe me when I say that there are many who would look at me and expect me to be miserable. I tell you, there are those who have it far worse than me, and they have found peace because they love God.

So hey, you could say, "I have peace, I am content! I am even happy!". I don't care about that. I am not your judge. The one who really knows is God, and you may be able to fool others.. You may even be able to fool yourself.. But there is no fooling God.

Keeping it real is the best policy, and what am I saying? All I've been saying the entire time I've been on this website is to KEEP IT REAL.

Look at how much opposition I get just from that! You know what it does? It proves scripture right, because scripture SAYS THIS IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN.

Just as they called for the crucifixion of Jesus, just as they slayed the prophets.. So the world will revolt against the truth, no matter how clearly stated it is.

What am I saying?

The Supreme and Ultimate Reality!

Watch people foam at the mouth. It is really pitiable. Yet, it fulfills the scripture, "Because they received not the love of the truth, they have been cursed with strong delusion".

It is the love of Christ dwelling in me that compels me to spread The Good News. Salvation is God. The Truth sets you free.

Keep it real. I'm very consistent. It isn't about me. I'm not trying to be a teacher. I'm trying to point to The Good Teacher. I have faith that Truth stands clear apart from error. I must become less so that The Word of God becomes more. It's not about me. It's about God.

So whether or not you find my words convincing, it is the will of God. I am not the one who saves souls. I am not the one who hardens and softens hearts. It is God, and it is even written that some vessels are made for honor, and others for dishonor.

It is always better to forsake idolatry and turn to The One True God. The Supreme and Ultimate Reality is the focus of the relationship. How does God speak to us? Through his Word, and it is written, "All things were made by him(The word of God which is God); and without him was not any thing made that was made.". If this is the case, your very experience is your relationship with God, and God speaks to you through life.

How can you deny my God? It's because you don't know my God. If you knew my God, there would be no doubt in your mind that this is the only God even worthy of being called God, for all other gods are subject to death, but The God I believe in is Eternal.

The way things actually are as opposed to the way you see things as being or wish them to be.

By definition, there can only be ONE Supreme and Ultimate Reality. There can't be two "supremes" or two "ultimates". There is One True God.

The Supreme and Ultimate Reality.

If you say this God doesn't exist, you clearly don't know what you are talking about.

So repent, and believe The Truth.

No, what is irrational is trying to reason with people who have a stated position that THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN TRUTH.

I'm telling you that by your logic, I'm a "determinist machine" even though I believe in God.

Hating atheists doesn't do any good. Show them some charity, they clearly don't know what they are doing. Bashing people and acting superior is never a convincing way to argue.

What do the scriptures say?

Without charity, it matters not if you know everything, can speak every language, and give your body to be burned... The effect you will have is the same as a loud clanging symbol.

Why do I do what I do? Because it is God's will. Why do you do what you do? Because it is God's will.

The one who hardens and softens hearts is God. It does no good to be pretentious about it, because we are where we are because of the grace of God, not our own doing.

You are clearly not talking to me, you are clearly talking to some homogenized prejudice.

Sorry buddy, you making me into your straw man because you have a hate boner doesn't make what I say idiotic.

The Supreme and Ultimate Reality is God. What you experience is a reality. This reality is your personal relationship with The Supreme and Ultimate Reality. Your experience is not God.

I do not kill people. I do not call for anyone to be killed. I believe in charity. You clearly do not believe in charity, because you have already taken yourself as judge by condemning "moronic churches". See, that is the difference between what my position is and your position. My position is not to lean on my own understanding, but instead say, "I don't know", and let The Supreme and Ultimate Reality be the judge, surely the righteous judge. I am a fallible human being. You on the other hand are puffing yourself up to be something.

Well, no matter how intelligent you are, no matter how capable, no matter how influential... You will die in your sins, and God will continue to be as God always has and always will.

You don't understand the faith because you already think you know. I'm telling you that you don't. The faith is in God, The Supreme and Ultimate Reality, and the discipline is loving God. Loving God means loving THE TRUTH. If you love THE TRUTH, it will eventually give you some humility, and make you an overall more honest person.

Maybe you should get a dictionary and figure out what "Supreme and Ultimate Reality" means before you start speaking about things you don't understand as if you had understanding.

The Supreme and Ultimate Reality is God, and if you accept this, your entire argument against God is nonsensical posturing.

Abandon these superstitious ideas about God, and embrace THE TRUTH.

Saying that The Supreme and Ultimate Reality doesn't exist not only is unscientific, but it undermines the very validity of science to begin with.

The Supreme and Ultimate Reality is God.

If you accept this, your question can answer itself.

Surely this God by necessity must be eternal, always existing.

The only thing I ever consistently stand on is The Supreme and Ultimate Reality. I don't even stand on myself. Is not honesty intrinsic to this? Who are you to judge another's heart?

Humanity is doomed because that is the nature of created things in a temporal world. Time destroys it all. It is the eternal nature of God's word that saves all of it. Even though yesterday is gone, it is still here, always existing, one with God, The Supreme and Ultimate Reality. All of existence is here by The Word of God, and The Word of God is eternal.

There is no salvation apart from God.

You have a relationship with God, and that relationship is your personal experience.

Your inability to see the truth is called "sin", and there is no man alive without sin.

"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. "

Believing in God is easy, you can be absolutely certain of God. Believing things about God is harder. What is God? The Supreme and Ultimate Reality. Recognize that, and allow the spirit of truth to show you the way and grant you a peace that surpasses all understanding.

In other words, atheists do what they do by the will of God.

What do you think omnipotence means?

It means super determinism.

Because being proud of something you don't have anything to to do with is not really helpful.

"Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, they say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true. Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also. These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.

Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come. Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come. And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning. I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him. They understood not that he spake to them of the Father. Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. As he spake these words, many believed on him.

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. 38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham. But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. Ye do the deeds of your father.

Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.

Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death. Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself? Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God: yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying. Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by."

"Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity."

God is defined as The Supreme and Ultimate Reality.

What is The Supreme and Ultimate Reality? The way it actually is. Contrast that with the way it isn't or the way as it looks, or the way that is preferred.

How can I prove this is the Christian God? I don't need to prove anything, it stands by itself. The Supreme and Ultimate Reality is clearly the God of all.

I can at least tell you that I see the witness of this God in both the Old Testament and The New Testament. This is the God of scripture that is universally recognized as being "Christian".

Christianity is not the worship of created things though, it is the relationship with have with God in creation with the spirit of Truth.

Make no mistake, God is The Supreme and Ultimate Reality, and if you take God as being anything else you are not talking about my God.

The Supreme and Ultimate Reality is God.

These other gods do exist, but they are created beings. They are mortals with lifespans like everything else in creation.

The One True Eternal God is The Supreme and Ultimate Reality.

Many Christians were accused of being atheists back in the early days of the Roman Empire.

In fact, just about every atheist argument at some point in history was used by Christians to expose false deities.

Successful atheist arguments, that is, arguments that are actually legitimate, do nothing to disprove God, they only show how our understanding of God is off.

I guess you could make the claim that there is something that resembles respect on this website.

"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good."

Sometimes you gotta give the brain a good washing to get all that gunk out of the mind.

Even if they aren't, they can have fun trying to enforce that.

You can't keep rocket launchers from the people, and screw anyone who tries.

You can here in Austin, Texas.

Believe me though, it will become apparent why it is better for women to cover themselves. It will not be possible to avoid unwanted attention. I've known women to try going around topless all the time, and they usually learn something.

"Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.

Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her,

that her warfare is accomplished,

that her iniquity is pardoned:

for she hath received of the Lord’s hand double for all her sins.

The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness,

Prepare ye the way of the Lord,

make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

Every valley shall be exalted,

and every mountain and hill shall be made low:

and the crooked shall be made straight,

and the rough places plain:

and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed,

and all flesh shall see it together:

for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

The voice said, Cry.

And he said, What shall I cry?

All flesh is grass,

and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:

the grass withereth, the flower fadeth:

because the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it:

surely the people is grass.

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth:

but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

O Zion, that bringest good tidings,

get thee up into the high mountain;

O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings,

lift up thy voice with strength;

lift it up, be not afraid;

say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!

Behold, the Lord God will come with strong hand,

and his arm shall rule for him:

behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.

He shall feed his flock like a shepherd:

he shall gather the lambs with his arm,

and carry them in his bosom,

and shall gently lead those that are with young.

Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand,

and meted out heaven with the span,

and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure,

and weighed the mountains in scales,

and the hills in a balance?

Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord,

or being his counsellor hath taught him?

With whom took he counsel,

and who instructed him,

and taught him in the path of judgment,

and taught him knowledge,

and shewed to him the way of understanding?

Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket,

and are counted as the small dust of the balance:

behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.

And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn,

nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.

All nations before him are as nothing;

and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.

To whom then will ye liken God?

or what likeness will ye compare unto him?

The workman melteth a graven image,

and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold,

and casteth silver chains.

He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation

chooseth a tree that will not rot;

he seeketh unto him a cunning workman

to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved.

Have ye not known? have ye not heard?

hath it not been told you from the beginning?

have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?

It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth,

and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers;

that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain,

and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

that bringeth the princes to nothing;

he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.

Yea, they shall not be planted;

yea, they shall not be sown:

yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth:

and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither,

and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.

To whom then will ye liken me,

or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.

Lift up your eyes on high,

and behold who hath created these things,

that bringeth out their host by number:

he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might,

for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.

Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel,

My way is hid from the Lord,

and my judgment is passed over from my God?

Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard,

that the everlasting God, the Lord,

the Creator of the ends of the earth,

fainteth not, neither is weary?

there is no searching of his understanding.

He giveth power to the faint;

and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

Even the youths shall faint and be weary,

and the young men shall utterly fall:

but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;

they shall mount up with wings as eagles;

they shall run, and not be weary;

and they shall walk, and not faint."

What if? Omnipotent means that God did it. The Supreme and Ultimate Reality. It is better to accept The Truth than to show preference to unrealities or worse yet, live in utter denial of The Truth.

See, when you don't accept God, you are really the one who is embracing arbitrariness. Your god is personal whim rather than The Truth. For this reason, those who would rather bow down to fetishes will be cursed with strong delusion.

It is better to make peace with reality than to outright deny it or pretend it is something else.

Good is determined by God. What that means is, if God does it, it is good.

The only free will is God. If you are going to say that God's will isn't free because only God's will can be done which makes God limited to God's will....

...well, I think that makes even less sense.

Yet this is what I believe, that God alone is good, and all things were created by the will of God.

My faith is not in man, man made institution, or any of these created things. My faith is in God, The Supreme and Ultimate Reality, and this is the God that scripture testifies of.

The first definition of "testament" according to Merriam-Webster is...

"A tangible proof or tribute".

I recognize the two testaments contained within The Holy Bible as being good witness to The One True God, The Supreme and Ultimate Reality.

See, you don't understand my faith. You lean on your own understanding. My faith is not in my own understanding, even less the understanding of other people. My faith is not in philosophy, human authority, systems of human authority, less so even the tombs of dead men.

There is nothing surprising about the way people are, all of it has been prophesied of in scripture. It is prophesy because it is true, not because it is said to be true. Have these things been proven to you? Then to you it is not proof.

See, you are telling me what my faith is, and then proceeding to demolish what it is you are telling me my faith is. Wouldn't it make more sense to show some charity in order to actually address someone as an individual rather than a homogenization of prejudice?

You must not be talking to me.

And that is why I am not preaching a perception or paradigm.

The Supreme and Ultimate Reality is certainly truer than any image.

If it means anything, most preachers make me physically ill.

It has been permitted by God to allow these things to happen, and they are not extraordinary things to those who have been educated through scripture. This is how the church is, and this is how it was prophesied to be. The state of the church is not all that shocking to me, as scripture makes it clear that it was going to be this way. It is at least very clear to me.

The God I believe in is The Supreme and Ultimate Reality. That being the case, The Truth is what has authority. Many will claim things by the name of Jesus, but that doesn't mean they even know Jesus.

The Truth is what sets you free, what saves you, what redeems all. That is The Good News, The Gospel. People will always argue over matters of creation. Ultimately, this isn't what the faith is about.

If Jesus was just a man, how is it that we are drinking his blood and eating his body when we drink the wine and eat the bread? Clearly these things are not a part of a man's body.

Jesus is The Word of God and its salvation made flesh.

The Supreme and Ultimate Reality is salvation.

This is timeless and eternal

I mean, we could always just say "jew" is a made up label that really doesn't exist outside of identity politics. I mean really, are any two jews alike? Doesn't seem very precise.

I don't know.

It seems to me that you are being impatient.

IF you want to condemn all idiots, it is this one idiot's opinion that you also condemn yourself. Maybe you aren't really all that bright to begin with. Maybe you are a victim of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

You certainly aren't impressing me. You look very arrogant from this perspective.
