Are you really so simple minded to say the above to an atheist?

We seem to have a rash of very naive posters at the moment with

very similar agendas and language making emotional appeals to

us to be stupid and just believe.

 

Is there some agenda here?

The word "God" has a well defined meaning, and it means whatever or

whoever is central to your life in a positive way. If what is central is

negative, i.e. a drug addiction, or alcohol which makes you steal and lie,

then it's called a devil. It's title, not a proper name.

You miss the point. Jesus knew, that people do what they feel like, and

that their quality of actions is a direct result of how they feel about

something. Therefore, the logical way to change people's behaviour for the

better is change how they feel about things, ..and Jesus does that very

well, and more.

Ask Him into your life and let Him handle your case. You will feel

yourself relax in trust of Him.

Our Christian "God is love" (1 John 4:8,16) become fully manifested

in

Jesus Christ giving His life for us sinners on the cross of Calvary. We

therefore know our God and have seen Him. (Jesus in John 14:6-10)

Atheists don't know our God and therefore cannot see Him, (Jesus in

John 3:3) You have to be an atheist to look for "reasonable" and "rational"

love. LOL

No. NADA is Bill's god or devil. It means without, such as being

"without" God.

there's no need for any gods."

Why do you keep telling us the same redundancies over and over? We

already conceeded, that no god(s) of your definition are needed, nor exist

i.e. old man in the sky above them thar clouds, but our Christian "God is

love" (1 John 4:8,16) become fully manifested in Jesus Christ giving His

life for us sinners on the cross of Calvary. We therefore know our God and

have seen Him. (Jesus in John 14:6-10)

Atheists don't know our God and therefore cannot see Him, (Jesus in

John 3:3) You Bob don't know any love and care for others, otherwise you

would honour those like Christ who sacrifice their lives for the wellbeing

of others. "like I do" indeed!!!!

Gospel of John

 

24Now Thomas (called Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the

disciples when Jesus came. 25So the other disciples told him, "We have seen

the Lord!"

But he said to them, "Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put

my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not

believe it."

26A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with

them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and

said, "Peace be with you!" 27Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here;

see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and

believe."

 

28Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!"

 

29Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed;

blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

Yeah, very funny. Why is this god of yours suddenly all too human when

it comes to the tricky questions?

Simple - because you keep on claiming your god is love

and those who do not follow it are immoral and cannot care for others.

 

I would have thought that was plainly obvious.

Nice primitive story, which is all it is,

if one is prepared to use common sense and intelligence.

 

Back then they spoke aramaic. Assuming the story was written down on a piece

of goat skin at the time it would have been translated, again and again until

we reach the Latin version about1,400 years later - eventually it made it into

the English [commercial] version.

 

And you fools quote the English version which has no relevance at all to what

happened so long ago due to so many variables

 

Groan [that's not my name it's something i cannot avoid doing when religionists

make their silly claims]
