I have no idea what "arrogant to facts" is supposed to mean, but one is defined as a Christian Fundi by holding 5 ideals as true:
1. Inerrancy of the Scriptures
2. The virgin birth and the deity of Jesus
3. The doctrine of substitutionary atonement through God's grace and human faith
4. The bodily resurrection of Jesus
5. The authenticity of Christ's miracles (or, alternatively, his premillennial second coming)
I would think all this could be summed up by fundamentalists adhering to a literal interpretation of the Bible. I have never heard of a fundamentalist that doesn't believe in Christ's miracles.
As was clarified with 1069 what I meant to say was oblivious to facts.I have no idea what "arrogant to facts" is supposed to mean, but one is defined as a Christian Fundi by holding 5 ideals as true:

Hence the rejection of the earth being any more than a few thousand years old, the insistence on creation.
To your 1. Inerrancy of scriptures, how can that be when the bible itself is full of self contradictions.
Finally I must ask, which do you hold higher, the teachings of christ or the deity of christ?
Unibomber - was he muslim?Checked the headlines again today and all the terrorists reports and or threats are from Islam based groups. Go figure.
just like yesterday, and the day before and the day before that..
Anybody have news of a Christian based group carrying out an attack and or plan?
Anything?
You do not? Then you're not a fundyOnly those who take translated scripture literaly believe in creationism though.
So which "scriptures" are the word of god? Mark is quite contradictory with Mary - don't even get started with Judas - yet all "scriptures".Jerry said:Mmmm...this is where I piss off all the other Fundies reading through this thread.....the bible is not scripture. It is a reasonable representation of scripture in translation, but the bible is not the trusted written word of God itself.
The very fact that the bible contains error proves this.
The written word of God contains no error, therefore anything which does contain error is not the written word of God.
The bible contains error, therefore the bible is not the written word of God…it is something ells.
The man is not quite the deity that I'm emphasizing here.Jerry said:They are one in the same, the man and his word.

I'm not offended at all. I believe people have the right to speak out their beliefs. With America having a population of over 250 million, I think its expected with that many people, some would disagree within a certian religion.
I was with you until the bolded statement. while FCCs are a bitch to deal with when they involve themselves in politics, they aren't trying to send everyone else to hell. on the contrary, they are trying to spread their message so that the rest of us can go to heaven.
Unibomber - was he muslim?
Not sure..I think I remember reading he was anti-tech.
He was a Polish Catholic with roots right here in Chicago.
He had nothing to do with any Muslims (although there are Muslims in Poland for the past 500 plus years).
Kool thanks for the info...
I'm really looking Christian based groups.
How so exactly?
"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."
I don't see that quote anywhere in the bible, must your quote.
:lamo That was a good one 1069--I'd never heard that one before!(... at which point, as the old joke goes, a stone came flying out of the crowd and knocked the woman unconscious. Jesus peered into the crowd, squinting, caught sight of the culprit, and sighed with exasperation, "Jeez, Mom! You're really starting to p!ss me off!") :mrgreen:
He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
John, chapter 8, verse 7.
1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

Bingo - a fundamentalistHe was a Polish Catholic with roots right here in Chicago.

I bet you that deaths caused by Muslim extremist (suicides) would statistically far outnumber deaths caused by Christian conservatives.
