Is your child being lured into witchcraft?

   That settles it, does it?


   Is "thou shalt not steal" the delusion you mean?  I know when the government does it, it's not "stealing."  Or is the delusion you mean one of the other ones?

   One hopes.  It's also not "killing" exactly when the government does it.

THEY HAVE BEEN GLAMORIZING WITCHCRAFT SINCE 1942.

"I Married A Witch"

They also glamourize Thor, Hercules, Big Foot, and other mythical creatures. 

OK then, but now you also seem unaware of the notion of conditional and unconditional covenants, such as exist in scripture and as such are readily distinguished by theologians.

Deut 31:8 "The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. " Lack of conditional in this promise noted.

God makes a covenant with Noah after the flood, in Gen. 9:1–17. It includes Noah’s descendants (9:9). God makes a promise not to bring another flood to destroy the earth, and gives the rainbow as a sign. The promise is valid for all Noah’s descendants. This is an “unconditional” covenant. By contrast the Mosaic covenant was an administration of the unconditional Abrahamic covenant of grace, it had a conditional aspect in respect to the physical land promise: the people of Israel needed to keep the stipulations of the covenant in order to stay in the Promised Land.

I hope that helps, since your sweeping remarks typically misunderstand things in scripture quite badly. Sorry it took one with only moderate intelligence to see this.


Also, since the last time you came up with a definition, it was that your supposed god is something 'vague and nebulous' I am surprised that you can be so confident about anything about it.


One unfortunately not present in any peer reviewed paper, it would seem.



So God is both a fact of science and beyond science. Got it. lol



You suspect wrong.

It is arguable though that the Xian god does hand out at least one 'power' frequently and widely; the ability of all to bring themselves to heaven by believing in the message of Christ.




When I ever suggest this, be sure and raise it again. But you still need to show creationism, er, intelligent design is a thing in fact.



Continuing gratuitous offensiveness noted.

  

Which part of the Bible is untrue, or cannot be seen as the final arbiter then, Arlon?  If one cannot tell, then it all falls suspect.

   Perhaps even you can understand that parables are not "true" in the sense of names, times and places.

   That doesn't mean they don't have value or lessons somewhat like the fiction in half the library.

So when you speak of truth you don't really mean 'truth', just 'value'.. Got it. It seems an odd qualification of your argument in lieu of all you have been arguing viz-a-vis truth, right down to defining it from the original, and talking of God's supposed 'truth for His people'. Something untrue can be valuable of course, when it suits a purpose like persuading the credulous.


Also, the Bible is also not entirely made up of parables, just sayin'.

Thank you for your opinion, and you are welcome to it

The Holy Spirit appears frequently as part of the Trinity, which is not something 'vague and nebulous' - in fact quite the opposite. How is that notion of consistency working out for you?
