What do you think of Seeker (good or bad)? (page 2)

Hi Seeker,
I regularly nail you for your sometimes immediate response to my posts that oppose the clique of atheists/agnostics who are prominent here. They can defend themselves.
I feel that you have placed too much faith in man's alleged wisdom and learning.
You seem to associate JWism with legitimate Christianity in ways that do not apply.
You seem to feel that any unanswered question or mystery from the Bible is an indeitment of it's truth.
Believer's views are every bit as valid as anyone elses. Scientists are no better than any other human being in ability, integrity and in handling peer pressure.
I just can't see any evidence from your posts that you have studied the Bible in depth, regarding the teachings of protestantism. I urge you to investigate and see just why we believe that salvation is by grace through faith alone and:
1) Jesus and the Holy Spirit are separate persons but God in the fullest sense, Almighty, Lord of Hosts.
2) There are only two options for mankind, heaven or hell.
3) God's Holiness demands retribution (justice) be meted out 'according to their deeds'. Anhilationism ignores the justice due each individual, including the victim's justice.
4) Man is an immortal being who lives within a physical body.
5) Most important: God himself died on the cross as a propitiation for our sins, enabling any who seek Him out eternal life by claiming His sacrifice for their sins.
Believe it or not, the above may sound foolish or even offensive but once you really understand what is being taught it makes sense scripturally and historically.

But I have to leave this thread now, it appears ACHOOO I am allergic.
I would give you a hug, but the hair will stick to my sweater!

In a controversy the instant we feel anger, we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves.

Mommy,

Can I wipe your runny bits for you?

Hey Seeker,

Words I would use to describe my old friend Seeker: intelligent, balanced, diplomatic, honest and compassionate. This is not intended to be an all inclusive list but it is a good summary. You are one swell guy Seeker.

Hope all is well with you,

Scheeker,

I am willing to still put up with you.

Hi Rex,

I side with Seeker. Your explainations of truth have been debunked so many times here I won't bother to do it again. As far as knowing the teachings of the protestant religions, can anybody know all the different ways they explain the bible? I have been attending an independant Christian church for about a year, to learn first hand what they do and teach. When you have seen one, you have seen them all. I have seen all the human faults expressed and demonstrated here. It is claimed that it is directed and inspired by Holy Spirit, if so God is human. Religion is an invention of humans as can be seen by the history of all religions. I don't think the Creator would claim them.(If there is a Creator who made things as cruel as nature.)

Seeker,

I think you are a deep thinker who is able to respond, most of the time, without emotion getting involved.

I think you take the time to reason on and research your answers.

We probably don't agree on everything, which makes for stimulating debates. Rarely have I EVER seen you lose your temper...even though at times mightily provoked.

And your Tigger tummy is so nice and soft, I love to rub it in chat. If Wasasister wasn't hot on your tail...I would be.

PS: I agree with Alan about your toes. Do you think there is any chance our children will inherit them?

Seeker,

I enjoyed reading your thoughts on H20, and still enjoy them here.

I like ya. (no....not just because you're a scorpio)

What do you think of Seeker (good or bad)?

Good or bad at what?

peace,
