the words: intellectual laziness
recognize this trait? Ahhh,many who apostasies from the one truth, shall we say ,adopts this trait-and transforms into epitomies of intellectual laziness...they construct the premise there is no true god to mislead others...they proceed to construct arguments to support these prefabricated conclusions with the building blocks of false logic...they convince intellectually lazy individuals the odds of a creators existence are remote...a lie recognizable to any form of honest intelligence.
Craig Rusbult, Ph.D. explains why God refuses to provide irrefutable proof in his existence on the web page http://www.asa3.org/ASA/education/views/proof.htm - "Although it isn't stated directly in the Bible, God seems to prefer a balance of evidence: there is enough reason to believe if we want to believe, but not enough to intellectually force belief against our will. Instead of overpowering us with undeniable logic or mighty miracles until we grudgingly give up and give in, God wants us to want to come to Him. With this balance there is authentic free will, and the choice is primarily made not by intellect, but by heart and will. A balance is also needed for developing the "living by faith" character so highly valued by God. In a world where it may seem justifiable to be intellectually agnostic, God wants a non-agnostic faith, a total spiritual commitment, a true repentance followed by a complete trust in God that is manifested in all thoughts and actions of daily living."
the jan hauglands and kent steinhaugs of the world are condemned because they will not accept any truthful conclusion that points to a true god...because they are, how shall we say, far too lazy to expend energy building spiritual commitment ,true repentance and complete trust in God that is manifested in all thoughts and actions of daily living..their own contempt for a perfect system that governs a peaceful world thus condemns them..and their intellectual laziness is, shall we say, the shovel that digs their graves.
Dr. Rusbult continues "Yes, Evidence is Available But authentic faith is not blind faith; it is not "trying to force yourself to believe what you know is not true." Strong evidence for Christian faith can come from three sources: recorded history, personal experience (first-hand or second-hand), and science. History: The main basis for Judaic and Christian beliefs are the historical claims recorded in the Bible. Personal Experience: God can interact with individuals to supply personally customized evidence for His existence and activity; or we can talk with other people, or read what they write, to share in their experiences and thoughts. Science can also provide evidence to support theistic beliefs."
all this is coming from a Ph.D. who is likely far more educated than jan haugland, kent steinhaug and thier cohorts combined...these sorry individuals who claim they are above it all have been debunked by someone with a real education at a prestigeous university in his speech at http://www.asa3.org/ASA/education/views/proof.htm

Faithful and Discreet Servant
by erik ini came across a scripture in isaiah 43:10-12 recently and noticed it mentioned the israelites as both witnesses and also called them a servant.
does the governing body then have reason to make reference to themselves as a servant, since the israelites as a group were mentioned as a servant.. i would appreciate your thoughts on this.

One word: Rutherfordahhh well, congratutalions jan. i finally wish to publicly grandize you for having long since achieved the platinum level for ignoramuses posssessing double digit brain cell counts. this latest typically anal retentive response ,how shall we say,ventures into territory fools dare tread. propaganda about rutherfords drunkenness are rumors...proven time and again as worthy of the pulp fiction sold on any supermarket checkstand.
