Re: Critical assessment of God
What is wrong with that?
​
Not sure I understand the issue. It seems all that says is "If God intended for the Bible to be some clear set of instructions, She failed."

Re: Critical assessment of God
So silly.
​
You keep asking:
​
The OP asks how you could determine the word of God without critically assessing God.
​
You can simply accept without evaluating. If there are conflicts you simply compartmentalize and believe both or disbelieve both. If something arises that might create issues, you simply deny there is a problem or make up some shit to get around it.

Re: Critical assessment of God
Your initial question is "How can you identify the word of God without critical assessment of God?"
​
In Message 17 I tried to answer that. The answer is that you simply accept what you want to believe without examining those beliefs.
​
As I said in Message 17:
​
You can simply accept without evaluating. If there are conflicts you simply compartmentalize and believe both or disbelieve both. If something arises that might create issues, you simply deny there is a problem or make up some shit to get around it.
​
The answer is "People can!" by simply accepting some desired outcome.

Re: Critical assessment of God
I could do it exactly as I outlined in Message 17.

Re: Critical assessment of God
I am a Creationist. All Christians are Creationists.
​
Thank you. One accurate post would have prevented the hassle.
​
See Message 17 to avoid the hassle.

Re: Critical assessment of God
That must be answered by those other than me. I can explain my beliefs and have done so often here and they are really off topic for this thread.
​
The topic is "How can you identify the word of God without critical assessment of God?" and I believe I outlined how that can be done in Message 17 and the alternate procedure in Message 15 which you deemed off topic.
​
Edited by jar, : No reason given.

Let's try to get things straight.
So far, only jar has explained how he thinks it is possible without critical assessment of God.
​
No, jar posted a method that can be used. There is no question of whether or not it is possible, the method I posted can be used.
​
Is there any point or substance to this thread?
​
Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!
