When Are You Going To Wise Up?

[Theland]

It should be amusing, but it is really very sad, that ABERS on here continue to mock the One True God, and substitute for Him, erroneous comfort blanket arguments that in the short term give a feeling of security by virtue that they are not alone in their views. Even a cursory examination of bible prophecies compared to world events would sway an unbeliever, and the arguments for Intelleigent design are overwhelming. How sad that the cockiness of the atheists is based no more than on the drivel sold by the likes of Richard Dawkins and Stephen Hawking.
Do yourselves a favour, and go for the simple solutions for example on YouTube and hear the TRUTH about the limits of science, and the impossibility of its claims.
In other words, SAVE YOURSELF before it is too late. Please?

Hi Theland, how lovely to see you, old friend. How are you?

[Theland]

Older, wiser, and more desperate than ever to convince people of the Truth of God and His saving grace through His Son Jesus Christ.
Yes, I still have a sense of humour, and I don't chew the splinters from the altar rails, but what is my life worth if I don't share what I know to be true?
Hope you are well Mrs B.

[Bathsheba]

I am well thanks Theland, + you seem in fine form.
Take care, and as Dave Allen used to say, "May your God go with you" :)

[Theland]

Oh He does. He really does!

[mastercraft]

"but what is my life worth if I don't share what I know to be true? ".

You don't need to share it with anyone. Just believe it!... and leave us alone.

Let's see. The Christian position is based on what was written in an old book by bronze age men who presumed their thoughts were given to them by an otherwise undetectable entity who was responsible for creating the Earth and controlling what went on it it. God is described as a vicious vindictive misanthrope who demanded to be worshipped.

Many events the book describes are "miracles", events that are not physically possible. Many of the places described in the stories have no evidence for ever having existed.

Later another book redescribes this God as a completely different character and introduces "His only Son" who visited the Middle East and performed more "miracles".

Despite this remarkable life, not a single mention of him exists in any contemporary writing. Moreover this book's first known existence isn't even contemporary with the events it reports.

Meanwhile science is based on the coherent and consistent interrelationships discerned from a vast number of reproducible observations and in the absence of a single conflicting observation.

And you think atheists base their beliefs on drivel?

"Wise up - go to Youtube"

I've heard it all now !

[cassa333]

"How do you know that your God is the one true God? On what basis do you make that claim? "

Because it says so in the Bible ..... Daaah

[gordiescotland1]

I totally believe in one true God and in Jesus His son as saviour. I have been baptised and go to church however I dont feel it is making any changes in my life. I am constantly angry at God and angry at people I dont see my "fruit" I feel like giving up my walk

[waterboatman]

In the beginning there was nothing and god made the world. Out of what if there was nothing?

[saintpeter48]

What a load of old cobblers!!
So then, where was this 'god' when millions were being slaughtered by the nazis in WW2, where was this 'god' when innocent children are murdered by depraved paedophiles, where is this 'god' when thousands are being shot, beheaded, burned alive etc by isis ....... 'God', get a life, wake up to the reality of the real world, religion is the problem, the cause of all conflicts, he/she/it doesn't exist, the quicker you realise it the better, as i said, its a load of old cobblers!!!

[wildwood]

I think all religion is a load of ***, and to highlight your //erroneous comfort blanket arguments//, we've just learned that a family friend's sister is a devout JW and is dying of bowel cancer. Because of her bible preaching and relentless affection to her belief she has lost all her friends and family support over her lifetime but finds comfort that she thinks she is going to meet her maker soon. Isn't that a security blanket?

The comfort a devotee of religion gets in sad times is about the only redeeming feature of all beliefs, even if it is misguided.

[Zacs-Master]

If you want people to take you seriously Theland, you must refrain from stating things like Steven Hawking's writings are drivel. It immediately discredits your argument. Older and wiser eh? Mmm.

[Hopkirk]

Explain dinosaurs then

[owdbob]

Oh dear - another load of of unsupported assertions. Which "one true God" might that be? All such "Gods" are inventions of the human imagination over the ages. "Belief" has dealt out death and destruction to millions over the centuries, and still does. "Belief" stunts the intellect, and ruins the lives of those over which it has sway, especially wome Now why don't you wise up?

mastercraft at 02.94 for best answer. //You don't need to share it with anyone. Just believe it!... and leave us alone.//

//How sad that the cockiness of the atheists is based no more than on the drivel sold by the likes of Richard Dawkins and Stephen Hawking.//

My opinions are certainly based upon drivel – the Bible. I’ve told you before, Theland, if there is an almighty, all powerful, loving, compassionate god, you’ve got the wrong bloke. Read the bits of the bible your churches don’t tell you about - and then think about it.

[vulcan42]

Arrogant.
adjective
1.
making claims or pretensions to superior importance or rights; overbearingly assuming; insolently proud:
I presume you think it's ok to be arrogant because it's not mentioned in the ten commandments, do you think your god would approve?

[Hopkirk]

If you follow the bible, how do you feel about Exodus 21 . 7?
