So you’re going with what is subjectively “obvious” to you rather than any empirical evidence. The records of ancient cultures and civilizations are invariably that they didn’t invent writing, but were taught systems of writing by divine being x.
Where's the evidence of any "divine being," or that said being gave man writing?
If man invented writing then it would have to have been an iterative process of written language development. There is no empirical evidence of that though. As noted earlier, there isn’t even a consensus on what constitutes writing. Archaeologists, linguists, and cryptographers have a hard enough time distinguishing between fully developed written language and some ancient person’s idea of pretty patterns and rarely reach consensus on any of it.
Did man have verbal language or was a deity necessary for that? Written language is a natural extension of verbal. Sign language or symbols are an extension of writing. We've developed other forms of communication. None of them required a deity of any kind. It was all us and our intellect.
Maybe you should leave yourself alone, you don't have to surf the internet or watch the news and get all hyped up about what other people are doing.
Christians have been in the United States for quite a while. Real Christians do not regard themselves as the ONLY sect or denomination. The Witnesses don't even call themselves CHRISTIAN nor do they worship CHRIST. Scientologists and Mormons are again in the very same group. They believe everyone one else is wrong and only THEY have it totally correct... But the reality is that as long as individuals have the right to openly debate and preach the Bible, I see no problem.
Just another one of your many lies...
Correct...even Jesus said, "It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’” Matthew 4:10
CHRIST is JEHOVAH and only the HOLY SPIRIT can reveal it to you.
1When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. 2For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. 3I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. 4My message and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, 5so that your faith would not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power. Spiritual Wisdom 6Among the mature, however, we speak a message of wisdom—but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7No, we speak of the mysterious and hidden wisdom of God,a which He destined for our glory before time began. 8None of the rulers of this age understood it. For if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9Rather, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him.” 10But God has revealed it to us by the Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11For who among men knows the thoughts of man except his own spirit within him? So too, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12We have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. 13And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. 14The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment. 16“For who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ. (speaking of CHRISTIANS) |
huh, food for thought. Individuals may not have the right to openly debate the Bible soon. And it won't be the left who take that away.
As long as citizens vote, they have demonstrated what they feel is correct. People who don't vote cannot be upset with those that do.
So god has limits? That means god is not omnipotent.
That's nice. Prove it!
It raises a chuckle at best, as it is an absurd story. A story I once addressed and pointed out how absurd it is.
People have belief. That's a fact. God is the myth, much like every other god in history. God is as much a myth as the Greek Pantheon of gods. People believed, made up stories surrounding a deity, and had no actual evidence for a deity's existence.
...be careful what you ask for; eventually God will give you 'evidence'.
What claims have I made? Be specific! Meanwhile, you still haven't provided any actual evidence/proof for a god.
The universe is evidence of the universe.
That's a myth (and delusinal belief) with no supporting evidence either
Santa Claus is the representation of charitable CHRISTIANS, who work to help those without. Think of St. Nicolas and good king Wenceslas (actually a very passionate Christian prince who was murdered by his pagan brother). Historically known as Wenceslas I, the Duke of Bohemia. Though not "biblical' it's no less historical. Wenceslas means "Greater Glory or Praised with Glory.
So when are you charitable?
