Do you believe in zombies?

OK - That one does literally say that Elijah was taken up to heaven.

Now - Does that mean "Elijah ascended to heaven?" As I recall, Jesus claimed that no-one had ascended. But perhaps this is a matter of mere nit-picking? There is after all, a subtle - almost indetectible - difference between "drove" and "got driven," "ate" and "got eaten," etc and so forth. (or for that matter, "fed the lions" and "got fed to the lions," but that's a whole other story.)

Like I said OBP, it's unlikely that anything will help.

Then why are you trying so hard? You've been here for a good decade now, attempting to do something you think won't work.

It's a deeply instilled belief.

For some, yes.

I have found that those who claim to examine the evidence are merely examining ways in which to confirm what they already believe.

Balderdash.

Tweb is a good study for that, no matter what contradictions are pointed out to the believers, they will always find a way, even if nonsensical, to put a different spin on it.

There are indeed Christians who will do that. On the other hand, most of the "contradictions" posed here require a strained reading of the text to see, and are absurdly easy to resolve (like your current favorite).

It's bad enough that you've been taught to believe things like your long dead and buried body will emerge from its 6 ft under resting place and ascend on up like a rocket to some heavenly realm beyond the clouds, but what is worse is that you're thoughts on the matter are fixed, and unbeknownst, even to yourself, you're incapable of escaping the thought labrynth you've helped to imprison yourself in.

You are remarkably bad at psychoanalysis, Jim. Your arguments are nowhere near as impressive as you imagine.

Personally, I think Jim realizes, but cannot admit, that his 'case' has gone down in flames, so he's just playing the fool. We're just feeding the

Do we have a zombie smilie?

Isn't that an oxymoron?

[Zymologist]

Isn't that an oxymoron?

Maybe, but I still think we need a smilie for it.

yeah didn't think so

Personally I think you all know that I'm right but are incapable of owning it because you are plagued with cognitive dissonance. In other words you're fooling yourselves.

[tabibito]

You're just not trying hard enough, JimL. The late lamentable one managed to find two supportable objections ... in that, he is quite singular in my experience.

[Cow Poke]

Actually, I think you've proven your a worserer Bible skoller than you are a leegle skoller.

Then why are you trying so hard? You've been here for a good decade now, attempting to do something you think won't work.

I'm not even trying hard, I'm just debating the issues and you people are freaking out about it.

For some, yes.

For many, and for most they don't even know the details of what of what it is they believe. The majority of those professing to be Christians couldn't even tell you what the bible says.

Balderdash.

Malarkey.

There are indeed Christians who will do that. On the other hand, most of the "contradictions" posed here require a strained reading of the text to see, and are absurdly easy to resolve (like your current favorite).

Actually, it's just the opposite. It requires a strained reading of the text in order to do away with the obvious contradictions. Elijah for example both went up to and came down from heaven, and you still can't accept it's a contradiction of Jesus's words.

You are remarkably bad at psychoanalysis, Jim. Your arguments are nowhere near as impressive as you imagine.

Well, the patient rarely accepts a diagnoses, he has to discover it for himself.

Yes, no, and not even close.

You call them dumb questions, I call your answers dumb, so we're even. I can only assume that the personal attacks are a defensive mechanism.

Is that why you do it?

What a cheap shot, Sparko, JimL would NEVER resort to personal attacks!

Thats part of the tactic employed idiot.

We signed it idiot.

AP, please stop acting the idiot,

And the victimization of the fetus was not what Tealaura was refering to idiot.

Obviously you're an idiot. No surprise!

Idiot. I'm not interested in your or C.P's argument,...

Why do you think shes an idiot Jaecp? I think that she actually makes a lot of sense.

Hes also proven himself an idiot when it comes to foriegn affairs.

Oh please, stop making excuses for Trump as if he is a complete idiot.

You're the one defending an obvious know nothing lying fraud of a con man so for you to call me an idiot is just comical, not to mention ironic.

You're an idiot.

Idiot!

Geesh, you are such an idiot MM I can't hardly believe it.

You're an idiot MM.

No, but it is your fault for being an idiot!

Nothing happened here, you're still an idiot

Fake news idiot.

Your're an idiot.

I'm not a black person you idiot.

We all know what ought means you idiot.

Its not semantics idiot,

Just shows what a gullible idiot you are

thats the point you idiot!

No, it isn't allowed, moron.

No, you're probably not the only idiot.

Its policy you idiot.

I see, so I was right, you are an idiot.

And those are just the "idiot" quotes!
