Yet another example. Rather than deal with the issue, you try do make it about something else. This is the same tack often taken by those you deride and believe yourself above.

Once again:
You haven't addressed my previous post:
"To be more precise, I have asserted that Jesus says that his followers must become perfect in their righteousness simply because that's what he states. How does your assertion logically follow from that?"

Show how your assertion logically follows. Show how your assertion makes sense. If you cannot do this, then it supports my assertion that "you're in no position to call out those who 'do not make sense'".


If the logic of your statement would be so evident, then you really don't need an answer from me. You merely need to show how your assertion logically follows in either case. But if you remain true to form, you'll find an excuse not to. And you will once again show that you are no different than them. What hypocrisy.

Oh it has nothing to do with races or battles or wisdom or understanding or knowledge; it has to do solely with a specific level of conceptual awareness of buccky within a given spacetime that it is mistaken from him as a product of his non-conceptual awareness, and TerrierJack just pointed towards this situation😵


I do not feel the slightest arbitrary conception of spiritual truth, holiness included. I see “holiness” merely as a figure of speech. But if you are happy with your personal spiritual truth then you can enjoy it alright ye leggedy beastie😵

Don't think I haven't seen this same act from them. You make assertions and then have nothing to back them up. So you toss out red herrings, engage in ad hominems, stonewall etc.

Like I said, you're no different. And a hypocrite to boot. But then, so are most of them.

thankyou, i knew i would get a confession out of you in the end!

we are all hypocrites, lol, tax collectors and harlots as well, no doubt! are you aware of the parable about the Pharisee and the tax collector, how the Pharisee states, just as you do, 'oh i thank you God, i am not like these other men, sinners!', 'yet the humble tax collector was not even able to lift his eyes heavenwards because of the remorse he felt! which one was proven more righteous? which one are you thinkofone?


(Luke 18:9-14) . . .But he spoke this illustration also to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and who considered the rest as nothing:  “some men went up into the temple to pray, the one a thinkofone and the other robbie a tax collector.  The thinkofone stood and began to pray these things to himself, ‘O God, I thank you I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.  I fast twice a week, I give the tenth of all things I acquire.’ But robbie and buccky and jaywill and deucer and galvestone the tax collectors stood at a distance and were not willing even to raise their eyes heavenward, but kept beating themselves, saying, ‘O God, be gracious to us sinners.’  I tell you, These men went down to their homes and proved more righteous than that man; because everyone that exalts himself will be humiliated, but he that humbles himself will be exalted.”

And the stonewalling continues.

Confession?

Buccky?

Deucer?

Galvestone?

I really do wish you'd operate within the realm of reason. This would be so much easier.

Yet more evidence that you're not about to let reason get in the way of your beliefs. You're really something.

And as usual for your grand finale, you act as if you are completely oblivious to what is being said to you.

If you ever wonder why "Christians" such as yourself are perceived as being unable to engage in a rational discussion, you need only look back on this thread and others like it.

I've seen this act too many times 🙁

You seem to really struggle interpreting the written word correctly.

With both my posts and the words of Jesus.

You have eyes but cannot see.

Do you see where such r ...[text shortened]... I do not believe that there is a creator nor do I have even the slightest doubt on the matter.
If it had to be one way the other, I'd say everyone knows there's a Creator. Occam's Razor (the simplest answer, thus the most logical way to go) is that there is a Creator.

Philosophers and scientists have tried, and failed, for many centuries to tackle the "something sprang from nothing" anti-Creator argument and typically end up sweeping it under the rug.

To argue that the universe sprang from nothing with no outside causal force is to throw logic out the window which if someone does that they can't turn around and start using logic to argue against supernatural beings and God. Sorry.
