Apologetics 301 Guidelines
If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you
This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.

1."Now in response to the matters you wrote about:
Why would the Corinthians say that?
Perhaps you should read 1 Corinthians 6!?

Originally posted by Hypatia_Alexandria View PostYour interlocutor seems not realise that there are various texts that can be found in the Septuagint to condemn sorcery, witchcraft, and idolatry, as well references to demons. Verses touching on these topics can also be found [or interpreted] in the NT texts. Nor should we ignore the vivid imaginations and lawlessness of many early Christian fanatics like the notorious Shenouda [Shenoute) the Archimandrite (348-466 CE] who was the abbot of the equally notorious White Monastery in Thebes. Clearly ignorant of the writings of Paul [or considering himself to be above such petty details] Shenouda/Shenoute is supposed to have declared "There is no crime for those who have Christ".
You would be great discussing the sacralized Islamic writings including sharia!!!
Since when is Jerome's writing considered Scripture???????

In what scriptural evidence do you claim that Jesus is not divine or God? Siam?
You may argue this from the koranic and/or Biblical perspectives since atheists have no appreciation of Biblical or koranic positions. And you claim to be muslim.

Since Jesus is not God---but a human being, the symbolism, likely, functions in a different way....?....

Originally posted by Hypatia_Alexandria View PostNow now Trucker, put that hobbyhorse back in the cupboard. I understand there is a board where you can discuss Islam to your heart's content.

Thanks for admitting to resorting to diversions when you evidently know you can't produce what you were asked to produce. Just show us the Scripture I requested.

Originally posted by Trucker View PostMa'am, YOU are the one making the charges. Therefore it YOU"RE responsibility to show us the Christian Scriptures that would authorize or permit such atrocities as you mentioned. So far I have not seen you produce any. In other words, until you do you're blowing hot air.
Now now, Ma'am ... let us not resort to childish quibbling. Just show us the Scripture if you can.
So you admit you knew when you posted this that Jerome was not Scripture but posted it instead the requested Scripture:

Any belief system that comes to the ascendancy that is premised on divine relations contained in so-called holy books is bound to result in prejudice and persecution towards those who do not adhere to it.
Once any religious creed attains prominence it resorts using coercive methods to intimidate and control and uphold its authority and pre-eminence. Two thousand years of Christian history bears ample witness to that fact."It ain't necessarily so
The things that you're liable
To read in the Bible
It ain't necessarily so."
