    So, a totally made up assumption not based in fact.

    I have not seen this - so it is new information to me. I'd be curious to see the original source for this claim. I find a lot of people read into statements a lot of things that were not intended. Happens here all the time.
    It's been brought up a number of times in this thread. You just dove in without getting up to speed.

    This is speculation. You might be right. You might not be. And see my answer to 2)
    It's common sense. Fasting is a component of prayer - a "force multiplier", in a sense.

    BTW - if you are going to use A), and 2), then the third options should be III or iii. Please get your confusion straight!
    My inconsistency needs to be inconsistent.

    I have not claimed that I know "facts." I have said, "it is also possible it could be X."
    There needs to be some basis in truth or fact for there to be a reasonable supposition. Otherwise, it's just wild speculation, as is the rest of your post.

      However, I did my own checking and it is a perfectly valid word.

        Then you have no business being in this thread, because how we know what a Christian is is "what the Bible says".

        Scat, SHOO!!!! Away with you. Out Darn Spot!!!!

                Well, he doesn't do "but the bible says" arguments, and since that's the only way we know what a Christian is....

                (Yet, the article to which he linked was all about "what the Bible says", so .... he's a very confused man)

                  It almost seems that when carpe gives someone the last word he never says he'll stop posting but that when he decides to stop he is giving them permission to continue. Then again, so is the whole you-can-have-the-last-word.

                      Oh, so you don't believe that homosexuals could at the same time be christian, therefore you don't care what it is that Buttegieg says. It's the bible tells you he is not a christian. So, what do you need to hear it from the horses mouth for? Y'all wouldn't believe him anyway.

                        In this context, yes, Christian-affiliated religions are the only ones that matter.

                        Now, offhand, I'm not aware of Trump "attacking" the Islamic faith or its adherents. In that sense, he's a pretty poor example of a practicing Christian, since Christians know that even the best Muslims are doomed infidels, as are non-Messianic Jews, Messianic Jews who do not believe in the deity of Christ, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, and a host of others.

                          Do pay attention, Jim. Cow Poke, et al. are not saying they'd believe him; they're looking for evidence of the mere claim itself coming from the horse's mouth. It seems to be more than your fellow non-believer can produce. Maybe you can help him with that.

                            Yeah, so my question is, why do y'all want such evidence since you wouldn't accept that evidence any more than any of the other evidence that was given you? You don't believe he is a Christian regardless. So, you don't believe he's a christian. We get it! What's the point you are trying to make?

                              Thank you for never changing, Jim. There need to be some constants in this crazy world.

                                The point is that Tassman can't seem to back up his assertion with evidence. Would you care to help him on that?
