Michael, I thought I was done with this thread, but you've got me shaking
my head in despair. Can't you see that quoting the bible to prove your
belief is like saying the bible is the word of god because the bible says
it's the word of god. It's a circular argument. Only works when
preaching to the choir :-).

There's no way I can reason with that kind of illogic. I give up. If it
makes you feel better, you can have the last word.


I happily accept that you think such of me.

Don't you refer to scientific "evidence"? That is not "preaching to
*your* choir"?

I knew my quoting wouldn't convince anyone except those that believe.
But as you see - it once again drew out the reaction that shows hypocrisy.

1 John 4:4-6
You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because
greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. [5] They are
from the world; therefore they speak as from the world, and the world
listens to them. [6] We are from God; he who knows God listens to us; he
who is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of
truth and the spirit of error. (NASB)

Just to note, "listens to us" (those obeying The Truth), not because we
are somehow great - but because we simply repeat what God says. So they
are not really 'listening to us' but listening to God's Words we simply
are repeating.
