2 tim 3:10-17 - 10 you, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, 11 persecutions, sufferingswhat kinds of things happened to me in antioch, iconium and lystra, the persecutions i endured.
yet the lord rescued me from all of them.

Because of that fact we should not compare modern science with ancient Scripture in the way that you are right now.
dude, you just said that god breathed was talking about science as much as scripture and that science IS scripture.
It's intellectually dishonest to call Scripture "outdatted" because our time and their time is as different as apples and oranges.
I never said scripture was out dated. I said something entirely else. And I was right.

Scripture is writings that people agree to think is holy and special. Science is a process and a method.
Unfortunately, religion and scripture are so historically intertwined, it would be pretty much impossible to get a large consensus on what one means without the other.
estimates range from 4 million to 15 million children die from starvation each year on this planet.
that's between 500 and 1700 children a day, depending on what numbers you accept.
still, no matter which numbers you use, doesn't this make you arrive at one of the following conclusions?.
And are you calling me delusional?
"We hold these truths to be self evident..."

Well I mean a whole brain left alone will go insane because of the left brains need to make sense of it's environment. Eventually it will believe a lie and drift off into insanity without others to be reality anchors.
We call that "religion".

Nah, he's not really like that, dear N.drew (the greatest of love and peace to you, girl!). Usually, it's when he's had a "child's portion" of whiskey the night before (or perhaps "recovering" from a "teenchie" adult portion today, dear EP? Peace to you, my bruh!). Look past all that, though, dear one... and you'll "see" a pretty cool guy.
Aw, thanks Shel. Nah, when I wrote that I was stone cold sober, I had spent the day at the dentist and doing homework with my kids.
the watchtower teaches that there is no such thing as a spirit or soul leaving the body that can consciously experience anything in heaven unless you are annointed and you die.
and the body certainly couldn't go in their view.
however the apostle paul plainly taught otherwise.
That's funny Tec. She and I may be more alike than we know...
And I earlier meant that third heaven is associated with Paradise, not that pardise is associated with itself...

How did I know someone would say that "It's not us buying the children for sex".
You didn't because that's not what I said at all. It was an explanation of the swiss cheese quality of your analogy. I never said I didn't traffick in children for sex.
If atheism wins, history will look back and think HOW?
History will look back say "Thanks!"
So God should stop the hunger, but not the sex. Got ya!
I never said what God should do, either, was just showing the faults in the analogy.

that's not a real analogy since we don't have that power or ability and you are asking me what a group of people I don't know would or wouldn't be willing to do. Also, does this include existing girls, all future trafficking, enslavement, etc?
Conversely, you claim that you do know god and he does have the power (otherwise, by definition, he isn't god). Also, god wouldn't have give up ANYTHING, he would just have to do it. Therefore, the analogy breaks down.
believing in a god is a leap of faith.
being an atheist is also a leap of faith, and that goes for the evolutionists too.
i believe in absolute truth as found in the bible.
I am picking my 10.1 Galaxy Tab later today. I will not shackly myself to apple.

To make the point another poster did earlier, they treat this as a dream or vision, not an actual out of body experience. I brought this up during my JC when I got DF'ed and they siad exactly that. I then used as a springboard to discuss my issue with them saying the Bible literally doesn't say exactly what it does (as in this example) and then saying that it does say things that it specifically doesn't (like Jesus is only the mediator for some). I also brought up that paradise actually part of heaven and associated with paradise in Jewish theology and that Jesus, being a perfect Jew, would have known this and that was plainly what he meant to the man on the cross next to him and that was what Paul plainly meant.
Eventually they quit letting me use a bible in the JC.
