Not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but by the power of God

God's revealed written Word calls you a fool.

The fool says in his heart,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;
there is no one who does good.

I never said there is no God (Or simply a creator)

But besides that. If the Old testament says that it's okay to call a fool on a fool, then Jesus says later "Not to call people a fool" then?

Wow!

Why play word games?

If your father told you not to play with fire or you will burn, then you start a fire in the home, when he gets burned running in to save you.... it does not mean he is ok with you starting that fire.

Where did God change His mind?

When He forgave?

No....

Sin = death

He took the death for His children...

By grace through faith.....

You, like everyone deserves His justice...

A righteous punishment for the horrible wicked thoughts and deeds we have done since before we can remember....

He will take that punishment for you, and also change your desires so that you can help others see His mercy and love...

2 Cor 10:5 - cast down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and bring into captivity every thought to The obedience of Christ

Really Magenta? Then why are any of you trying to convince me of something only I can decide. If you did convince me, wouldn't that mean I just decided based on what you said?

What do you say? There is a God but you refuse to believe in Him?

Have you constructed a God of your own imagination, then? Are you a Deist?

No, it would mean your eyes were finally opened to the Truth of what we say, and you decide to surrender your opposition to God, His Truth, and His plan. Until then, you remain in spiritual blindness. Rather wilfully, I might add. You wear it like a badge of honor.

One can go for an infinitum looking for what may appear to be contradictions in scripture and they will not be resolved on a message board, I see no point in that debate.........what I do want to know is what is your point exactly?

most of the Bible verse I know so far is about the flesh and those Bible verses relate and sympathize accurately to what we are going through. In light of this reason I know what it's like to believe that the Bible is true and I pray that God will magnify that kind of faith for the whole Bible not only for me ...

... but also for you as well

Why put me in a box like that, I don't fit into any of these belief bubbles people have invented.

Why don't you just answer the question instead of running off at the mouth?

Okay, pull me out of fire then.

But don't be a bystander outside my burning house screaming at me "You're gonna burn, you're gonna burn"

What you need to do is, kick down the door, run through the flames and drag me out.

You are on the roof of your burning house. ABOUT to have every inch of your flesh burnt, and you will be in that state forever. I am in a helicopter, lowering an inflammable rope, which is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is the ONLY way you can avoid your aforementioned fate.

You can accept the ONLY Salvation from that fate, or you can choose to burn in the fire. How am I being a bystander?

I think that is fair enough, however the key is an open mind.......people do like boxes sadly.

Do you do diligence and find out what is invented and what is real.

Is your mind still open?

God is defined as a Supreme Being. Constructing a God of your own imagination is inferior. Since you reject the God of the Bible, you have shown the box you put yourself in. I am merely shining a light on it :) If you do not like what you see, that is on you ;)
