    You know, you try to lighten the mood, and that's what you get. :confused:


    BTW : great job with the apologetics :)

    My God said that He never changes, and I cherish the box that He placed Himself in. Because He so limited Himself by saying that He would never leave us or forsake us, he limited Himself to be ever faithful, He limited Himself to never lie or sin, He limited Himself when He came to earth as a man by humbling Himself even to death on the cross for our sin, He limited Himself to never mislead us with false teachings or false doctrines.

    I cherish that box that He placed Himself in.

    I could not trust nor worship any other God.

    when we didn't,
    Who's this we you speak of? I haven't had a problem with anyone but you.

    Why do I refuse to stop defending my faith? Why do you refuse to stop defending yours?
    This thread isn't about defending your faith, it's about learning others beliefs and learning to accept those beliefs. You said that I expect you to accept my belief, it's worse then that Tom, I expect you to accept everyone's beliefs, that's how we'll truly find peace.

    I would dearly love to see this thread get off the personal abuse and back to a respectful discussion.
    That's what I want as well, but it obviously not going to happen.

    I am tired of your false accusations and abuse, but you don't push me off with abuse
    I've never abused you, I've simply asked that you refrain from preaching and pushing your faith on others. This thread is not called "Let Tom tell you that his way is the only way" it's about discussing dfferent beliefs and why we believe what we do. It's about learning something about each other and our faith. It's about accepting each other for who we are, not what we believe. This is not one of your seminars.

    I haven't started. But I am glad to hear that you are done.
    And with those words I realize that I'm fighting a losing battle, a battle I didn't want to begin with. You won't ever stop will you? You'll just keep coming back over and over again trying to pick a fight.

    I'm asking the mods to close the thread, this is not what I had hoped would happen, but I guess I should have expected it.

    I'm sorry everyone, I really had high hopes for this thread but I guess we really can't discuss relgion and be civil to one another, I guess it was a pipe dream.

    I'm sorry.

    Thank you for those who came to share their beliefs, I really enjoyed hearing how your faith came to be. I really appreciate everyone opening a part of their lives so that we could all get to know each other better. I wish it had worked out.

    Good bye.

    This thread has gotten way off topic and there is too much bickering going on here. Therefore, the thread is closed.
