5go, the nice thing about the forum is it allows us to be vocal on beliefs that we have, in looking back on your post.
Evidence is that we know very little and usually the older we get the more we understand this. I for one will chose to profess my allegance and worship to God, who I cannot see, but just because I cannot see him, does not mean that he doesn't exist anymore than not seeing the wind proves that it doesn't exist. I will chose my God, you can choose your Bunsen Burner and the Elements Chart.
Ah I remember those days when I used that eaxct same arguement too! You have to prove something, I don't have to disprove it till then.
We were already told in the scriptures that many of the gifts that you mentioned would be done away with after the establishment of the Christian Congregatioin as evidence that the Jews had lost favorered nation status and as proof that God's blessing was with the Chirstians. Reminds me of Christ's words that people are always looking for a sign, and even when they see it unless it suits their own preferences they still won't accept it. That is why he said about John and himself, he came not eating and drinking, Christ did, two different results and the bottom line is that you cannot please everyone no matter what you do. Perhaps that is what is meant "faith is not a possession of everyone", or maybe my faith is not as big as it should be, one thing for sure time will tell. But then again as James said in ch 1, if you don't believe you will recieve something, then you won't. I guess we live up to our potential in many ways, but our potential starts with our mind and hear.
From the same scriptures that tell you to kill your enemies babies by throwing them on the rocks. How loving Jesus really is.
The people of Samaria must bear the consequences of their guilt because they rebelled against their God. They will be killed by an invading army, their little ones dashed to death against the ground, their pregnant women ripped open by swords." (Hosea 13:16 NLT)
"O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones."
(Psalms 137:8-9, KJV)
Funny, they would tell you not to believe people that would tell you that they don't believe in these people just because the wrote something a couple thousand years ago, and claimed god told them to do it. Then leave no proof to other the the book they wrote.
There was a skit on a talk show it was about the 500 club and the had a guest on who was fighting to get the creation acount tought in schools thing was he was an native american and he recited his tribes creation acount. The 500 club member ridicled him saying his account couldn't be true but he gave the exact same proof they had a book with his tribes story in it. They couldn't argue with it so they threw him off. It was a joke skit but you had to wonder if they would really do that.
I don't even know what to say to this?
Just wishing you the best though my fellow poster, I don't know what ails you but I wish it didn't and that you were healthy. Have a great week 5go, take care and look forward to your posts and threads.
