IOW: vote against Bush!
Does that mean verlch will be voting against GWB come November?
Do you want to vote for satans son or satan's cousin. Take your pick.
The entrance into heaven is simply believing in Jesus, that he came to this planet, died for our sins and went back to the Father.
No one comes to the Father except by Jesus. He paid the ultimate punishment for our rebellion. Had he sinned once, all would be for naught.
There will be a great multitude in heaven, trust me on that on.
Your unBiblical dogma, while entertaining, is not compelling.
Belief in Jesus is not required for salvation.
Given your track record on accuracy, why would anyone trust your word? |

Underlying the evolutionary theory is not just the classic "stuff" of science — conclusions arrived at through prolonged observation and experimentation. Evolution is first an atheistic, materialistic world view. In other words, the primary reason for its acceptance has little to do with the evidence for or against it. Evolution is accepted because men are atheists by faith and thus interpret the evidence to cor-respond to their naturalistic philosophy.

A completely empty sentiment, since you are not God.
To put it a different way, you're saying that nothing we humans say or do really matters, as God is waiting for us all, and says "yes" or "no" to us based upon His rules, whatever they are. And this includes you, since if you've interpreted the Bible incorrectly - and as a mere mortal, you may have - you'll be going to Hell also.
And so, the millions of people who've actually looked at all of the evidence, and see clear indications that the universe is very old, and the Earth slightly less old, and see clear indications of evolution - all of those facts left behind by God Himself - are wrong or deluded by Satan, in your opinion. While you, armed with nothing but a book you don't even understand, claim to know the mind of God.
Hubris, as I've pointed out to you before, is a sin, verlch. If your view of the world and of God is correct, you're going to Hell with the rest of us, despite being right on these points. Why? Because of the many sins you've committed while broadcasting your opinions here. Besides hubris, you've got divorce and bearing false witness to answer for, at the very least.
I'm sure God would also like to speak with you about worshipping the KJV, instead of God Himself. Good going on that one, idolator. |

Are you claiming to be God? We're argueing with you, not some theological construct.
Or are you claiming to know the mind of God? Likewise invalid.

Dude your more twisted than me. His rules are too hard to follow, where did you miss my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Sometimes when I am filled by the Holy Spirit I feel great. I don't want to partake of a single sin. Then doubt and other things I can't explain creep in and sins happen. But, no matter how much I sin, I still accept God into my heart no matter how evil I've become. Things are good, I'm happy in my spirit. A happiness unequaled in any other adventure. So you can have your Darwin and his cronies. I have my God and that's all I need in this complex world! May Darwin rest in peace. |

Okay, you've got your simple answer to life's complex questions: Goddidit. If that's the sort of answer you want, and you're happy with it, fine. More power to you.
So why is it that you insist that it's the only answer? Why do you insist that the people who look for the complex answers to the complex questions are in league with Satan for doing so? Why do you insist on going against Jesus' lessons in order to attack the complex answers that have been found, and which you clearly don't understand?
Look, you want me to be satisfied by your "I'm happy with the God I've got" sentiment, but you refuse to even offer me the same courtesy, and instead shout from the mountaintops that my understanding of the world is a "faith" invented by "Lucifer." That's just more hypocrisy on your part.
And even worse is the fact that while you want me to leave you alone with your faith, you have chosen to seek the destruction of my science.
If you're not going to follow the teachings of your Saviour on this matter ("do unto others..."), I have no motivation whatsoever to follow them myself with regard to you.
You're a false Christian, verlch. You're an idolator, a hypocrite, a liar, an adulterer and an egotist. You're wasting your (allegedly) God-given talents, which is a sign that you don't accept Jesus at all, despite what you say. Your actions speak far louder than your words. |

Doubt creeps in? What kind of doubt, Verlch? I don't think you ever doubt god. And you don't seem to ever doubt that you know the "Absolute Truth." So what do you ever doubt? Doubt that you'll be caught? Doubt that you'll be punished? Doubt that god is watching or minds?
No, I don't think you ever doubt, Verlch. I think you sin, but I don't think you ever doubt. In fact, I think you sin knowing full well what the consequences are going to be. Even in your moments of weakness, you never doubt. But you cease to care about the consequences. That's your sin, Verlch. Not caring. Not caring who you hurt, or offend, or wrong. You don't care about answering to anyone but god, but if truth be told, you've offended him as well. Haven't you?
Well, Verlch, the wages of sin are inescapable. Just be sure not to be caught in a "doubting spell" when your ticket is punched. I don't think your god is very flexible on the rules. I'm not sure he'd care for any excuses.

Pay attention; without doubt, there would be no knowledge!

Yup. Another way to put it: There's no knowledge without doubt.
