DaRev, you sound more like a teenager than someone in their mid 30s. Your scare tactics only work on the weak. Why don't you try and scare some little kids into thinking they are going to hell.

Ok, well you're still going to hell, but you don't have to. The fact of the matter is that Christians nor the Maker wants you to go to hell. See Hell is kind of like those atoms you claim to believe in. You ever seen an atom? But you believe in them right? Someone who knows sbout atoms told you about them, right? and it sounded sensible right? Well, Hell, is kind of like an atom, lol, not because you don't see, doesn't make it any less real. People like you who don't belive there is a hell, are like people who don't believe in atoms lol. |
So, are you a person who believes in unconditional eternal security? You know, "Once saved, always saved"? Just curious, because I say individuals who hold that view are individuals who choose to be Calvinists.
My take on the whole, is if people knew how easy it is to be tricked and duped into believing things, they wouldn't be as gung-ho or have hubris in think what they believe is correct.

In one section, it is written that a wicked generation asks for signs. Also, in Mark 16 it does give signs. And I would also have to ask about what would be a bigger sign than dying and coming back to life. What else can top the conquest of death?
I will give you this about to keep doing signs and so on. It gets reduced to a magic show:

I don't think I'm a Calvinist, I believe you can loose your salvation just as much as you can gain it (but, I'm still studying the matter).
How do you know if something is 'correct' or not? (It's a bit of a trick question so answer carefully)

That's an interresting question. Let's say I found evidence that I find undisputable and acceptable to me personally. There would no doubt be a transition period where I'd rethink a lot of my basic assumptions about the world. And I guess I would start praying a lot. I'd have a lot to ask god about. I would still always prefer to get my answers directly from god before a priest or a book though. I'd also be much more carful about the kinds of porn I watch xD |
So, you want to pester God with a lot of why questions? Maybe you want to run some scenarios ask if there was a God, then what would things be like and go from there. Also, you would also have to beg the question here of the entity doing signs, whether or not they are God or not.
