Avoidance does not equal a win in an argument Tim. You keep spinning the same tired yarn. God. Jesus and all that junk in the bible doesn't matter. While the basic belief is harmless a constant preoccupation with the scripture is a waste of time. You may as well be reading comic books. Go ahead and ignore factual history if you want. Imagined history doesn't count. There is no Ark and there was no rising from the dead. Its all a myth just like the Greek gods. Jesus is as real as Medusa, or in reality unreal. God didn't give up his son so people could kill him either. Its a story written a long time ago by many people to control others.

I cannot, nor will not argue Truth. As the Bible says, 'the sower sows the Word'. Faith comes in the form of a seed. It gets planted in men's hearts and where there is good ground it grows up and matures!
If you are experiencing conviction from the words sown in this forum, Rejoice! It means that God has planted the seed of faith in your heart. If you continue to hear the word spoken (it helps to build your faith by reading the word of God outloud!) - Rom 10:17 says, 'and faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God."
It will not be long before the seed sprouts up and just like in the natural world the spiritual man grows from the water and light of God's Word. But it remains the responsibility of the hearer to tend to this work daily.
Exposing yourself to the light and the water of God's Word every day will bring about the speedy growth of the spirit in the inner man. As this takes place the seedling will be transformed into a mighty tree that will withstand the winds of doubt and the cares and trials of this life that will come against every believer...
Without the Word of God, I don't know where I'd be!
