    Deputy D,

    I agree with the scriptures given.

    Ro. 3: Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin;

    10 as it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one; 11 There is none that understandeth, There is none that seeketh after God; 12 They have all turned aside, they are together become unprofitable; There is none that doeth good, no, not, so much as one:

    Romans 9:20 ' who are you O man, who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder, "why did you make me like this," will it?

    We can indeed "do good". There's far too many agnostics, atheists, and various other non-christians out there proving you wrong every day.

    Like I said, you're not proving me wrong, and what I think doesn't really matter. But if God is the sorce of all that is good, wouldn't that make them (the agnostics, atheists, and various other non-christians out there) self righteous?

    We can not do good.

    Let's assume that athiests and agnostics can do good without god.

    Observations:

    1. The above statement is false.

    2. The above statement came from the bible.

    Conclusion:

    The bible is false.

    Let's assume that when athiests and agnostics do good, it is because god is making them

    Observation:

    1) Athiests and agnostics do not believe in god

    2) Athiests and agnostics can still do good without believing in god

    Conclusion:

    Athiests and agnostics don't really need to believe in god.

    Dog, please pardon my lack of perception, but I have no clue what point you were trying to make with your last post.

    John 14:16 " he will give you another Helper, that he may be with you forever: that is the spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive.
