Ok well that would mean something to me if I was still a Christian, but I'm not. I don't base my current understanding of life on bible verses Multilingul, why would I.

That wouldn't make any sense.
Because it sure makes more sense than to pretend "there is no truth, only purpose." That really made no sense.

I am here to road test my philosophies on the hardest fundamentals I can find, this is so I can learn how to improve my communication skills.

It makes sense to me.
The ability to hone in the skill to communicate gobbledygook seems like wasted time to me.

So that whole thing you used to have about learning and stuff was a con game? You're really simply not interested in learning at all, and yet you expect us to want to learn from someone who spends his time honing in gobbledygook lessons?

I really do have quirky memory problems. Unfortunately, among them isn't forgetting that one guy is changing his tune once or twice a day. It doesn't take great memory given you join four days ago.

Because you can't learn if you believe you have the truth.
Is that why you won't learn? You alone have truth? Since there is no truth, how is that working for you? (Maybe I underestimated the tune changing only once or twice a day. Now it's changing in the course of one page of your own post.)

When one thinks people are either good or evil it creates a social stigma, why not think of people as either well or sick. If you think someone is well you will desire to get help from them if you are sick, but if they are sick then you will desire to help them if you are well.
Because that is not what Scripture teaches.

Man is not "sick," he is a sinner.

We can't fix sinners, make them godly, only the Holy Spirit can.

We are to inform them of this truth so they will seek a remedy from God, the only one who can fix them,

You can learn the meaning of the Truth, which is a lifetime's work.

Said the wise man, "I open my mind like I open my mouth, to close it on something solid."

To answer all these post about learning more about the truth, how can one learn more about that which they know to be absolutely true. If you know that absolute truth is Jesus, then you know truth 100%. However if one says we still need to learn what that truth is but at the same time say I know 100% it's absolutely Jesus, then you don't know if Jesus is absolutely true.

Now do you.
Fallacy. . .just because Jesus is the Truth doesn't mean you ever know him 100% in this life.

Acquiring "communication skills" will not overcome illogic.

She said learning more about the truth, not learning what the truth is. There's a huge difference. Don't you find it rather fruitless to believe as the postmoderns do, that
it's important to seek, but never to find? I don't know.
Seems rather silly to me.
Of course it's silly. . .it's a pursuit of futility.

Help explain why he doesn't see the Truth.

I learn every day! The Holy Spirit teaches me things every single day! The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.
Thats the key. I have wisdom through Christ and the renewing of my mind through his word.
Are you on drugs? I ask in all seriousness. You do not make a lick of sense
I think you are on to something there. . .

Now do you.
When I was a kid I was taught that atoms made up all solid matter, therefore, nothing was truly solid, because the atoms were spinning around to make up the solid. I spent a week or two wondering if the chair was real, the door was real, my hand touching those things was real, or was I just on top of an atom in a larger universe.

And then I got over it and grew up. I was about 10 at the time.

What's your excuse? Because this is the same gobbledygook I went through when I was thinking about atoms. This is a theory built on a stoner's mentality. It makes absolute sense to someone, but only a fellow stoner. And when you stop being stoned, you find out it wasn't even a house of cards. It was some stoner's game.

Seriously? This is the best you can do? I recommend starting with a forum for children. They can out-logic you. Put away the doob and stay sober for a while, and you can out-logic yourself. When you sober up, feel free to come back. Who knows? By then you'll realize you really did miss quite a few years learning.

Tintin, what did Jesus say to do when someone is your enemy. Did he say to act like an ass as you're acting. When are you going to just get around to loving your enemies, because I'm getting very tired of this act you Christians put on. Look you can't lie to God ok, you can't fake loving me to him ok.
Humanism double-speak translation:
I'm allowed to be rude, narcissistic, and omniscient, but you must accept my personality.

Reality: Telling someone the truth, (which you don't believe exist anyway), isn't hate.

Yet I haven't got to that stage yet, but I do have digestive problems.
Experience talking here: Do NOT eat a whole box of prunes in one sitting, no matter how good they taste. :eek:
