Did I ever deny that I wrote these words ?
The saved will glorify God with their endless happiness. But the lost will glorify Him with their endless woe. They will be hung out in chains of punishment as an example to deter other worlds. That punishment is designed to deter others from like guilt is evidenced so often in the Bible.

Glorify would be the verb form of glory.[/b]
Before the August threaad "The Space Alien Thing" there was another thread I started called "A Few Questions For Dive" in July.
How do you insert the link with the word "Thread" techies ?
1.) Again -
Divegeester, Did I (sonship, jaywill) at ANY time on this Forum insist that I know of alien life on other planets either in the past or now or in the future ?
Is this something that claimed for certainty ? ... intelligent lives on other planets exist or will exist ?
In conjunction - Did I state that the Bible teaches this definitely ?
He doesn't answer that question. He asks this instead.
"The lost will be hung in chains of punishment as a warning to those on other worlds"
Sonship do you, before God deny ever saying this?
Eventually my response
Don't be slick. Phrase the question as it is relevant to the debate about what you claim I teach.
Yes. I deny before God and Satan and you that I insisted that I knew that other beings on other planets see God's judgment.

A disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods.
And you like to talk about "waffle".
Here's some -

Absolutely not. I have been asking you about exactly the same thing for weeks and weeks.
I never promised anyone that I would persuade you.
Glory, biblically speaking is God expressed.
That is an adequate, if not exhaustive, definition in which to discuss something that you are cannot agree with or believe.
Glorify is the verb form of glory - having to do with allowing or participating in the invisible God being expressed.

How is it "waffle"? It's clear. It's brief. It's a precise, point blank, unequivocal answer to your question.
The waffling about "lack of belief" came about when in philosophical debates atheists sought to shift the entire burden for a truth claim to the theist.
You're fiollowing the crowd and regurgitating the supposedly new and improved, unassailable definition of atheism. It is designed to totally remove any responsibility for the truth claim and place all burden on the theist.
"we just lack a belief ..."

Show me some authoritative reference on the English language where this is the definition of "glorify".
The Red Sox, the Rock Hall of Fame, the nationalism of various countries, etc, the secular world may have a definition which works for that environment.
