No, it's not. It's an honest, non-teenage answer.

Um, coming from you, that's rich, kid. You're 15....I saw a post recently from you that said "I know EVERYTHING"....yeah...the fact is, you know NOTHING. You take those who are older than you to task because you THINK you know "EVERYTHING"....You violate everything in Scripture when it says to respect your elders. You obviously don't care, and choose to continue to argue simply because you want to prove that you know EVERYTHING, when in fact again you know NOTHING.

I feel sorry for you, kid. You have no respect for anyone. We have people here who know Mormons, who live among Mormons and who actually have Mormons IN THEIR OWN FAMILIES, yet you continue to disbelieve them and argue.

Why don't you go play with your XBox and let people who know how to debate do that job?

a.

PS. I am sorry this came across as attacking, but the one thing I cannot stand is a 15 year old knowitall who knows NOTHING. Worse yet, he continues to show he knows NOTHING by pointless and stupid arguments. Perhaps this is what he wants--to provoke someone into telling him off. If that's the case, OK, I fell into it hook line and sinker. But, I can't stand seeing someone who is relatively "intelligent" proving himself to be stupid time after time.

Indent believe that Jesus rose from the dead and was crucified anymore. I did fpr a few days until I realized how closedminded Christians are.

Your logic in this is irrational.

You are entitled to your own opinion, and so am I.

Do you speak this way to your teachers?

No, I don't speak that way to my teachers, ...

Justinian, if you want people here to respect you then you need to speak to us as you would your teachers. Instead you treat us like toys. This is not the way to speak to adults.

If you would speak to us the way you would speak to an adult face-to-face, you will find that people will be more inclined to have a decent conversation with you rather than reacting to your behavior.

I wish you would learn this.

I don't know what insecurity you are dealing with that drives you to make the world revolve around you, but I hope some day you will be able to deal with this.

Anita, i was kidding when i said that I knew everything, okay? I don't see why you cant recognize a joke from seriousness. I am probably leAving this website forever in a few days, and thAts why I probably won't respond again. But that was the worst insult i have ever heard. Saying that to an agnostic is a lie. You know what, fine. Indent believe that Jesus rose from the dead and was crucified anymore. I did fpr a few days until I realized how closedminded Christians are. Enjoy your victory in this debate.

If what you are saying about your belief is true, then you never did believe. Your mind may of accepted it as a fact, but your heart rejected it. I say this because when Christ is in you, others will never change your faith.

You have, by your own admittance, been sitting under teachers that are not Christians. By doing this, you are creating a foundation based in secular understanding that is biased in their view of who Christ is, what a Christian is, and what makes up man. Some of the classes are created in a debate format (according to the information stated about the courses), which you also see as a good thing, as you came here to debate. The combination has created a spirit in you that you that is closed minded and unteachable. You believe you know enough about the subject, that you can come in here and debate with anyone, and every time someone tells you what scripture says, you argue with them any way you can that they are wrong.

If you truly are a seeker of truth, then stop arguing, state facts and discuss, not debate. You do have a lot of questions and we can help you with the answers. This is done through discussing the questions, a piece at a time, if need be. First, you have to be willing to sit and listen, not jump around like a Mexican jumping bean from one topic to another, from one thread to another. This takes discipline, and to become a disciple also takes discipline. Are you willing to work at this?

I do pray that God opens you heart and mind, breaks the heart of stone you have and opens your closed mind to His truth. In other words, may His will be done in your life.

In Christ,

Alan

No, I don't speak that way to my teachers, but I ask them questions which most of them can't answer or refuse to answer.

What kind of death do you speak of?

Romans 6

23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

John 3

18 He who believes on Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.

Your opinion leads to rejection of Jesus, which leads to death.

It sounds like you try to trap your teachers with questions, appearing to be "one up" on them, as you have done here many times. I agree with Neb and AJ, that your disrespect for us is prevalent and you are not honest in your search for truth.

Death, in this sense, is an eternal separation from God. Everyone dies physically, but not all will spend eternity separated from God. The choice is ours to make.

No. It was not my idea from the start. My idea was to learn. We learn by questioning.

No, you learn by listening and dialoguing.

Your method has been question and object with no substance to your objection.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
