"Truth" isn't a thing...

Come on..
How will you challenge this statement ?
Why would I challenge the statement? It is nothing more than your personal belief.

So instead of challenging your statement, I will simply ask:

"Do you think, looking at the world around you, that is a good thing? And do you think it speaks well of your God?"

Space itself is expanding. You are thinking in Newtonian terms. Though it works well enough for most local physics, it has been shown to be incorrect. Relativity and quantum physics give us a more accurate answer.
Space isn't empty.

It contains plasma of hydrogen and helium, as well as electromagnetic radiation, magnetic fields, neutrinos, dust, and cosmic rays.
It's not nothingness and it didn't create itself.

I never said that space was empty or even implied it. But what makes you thin that is "contains plasma"? You need a valid source for that. And you have not supported your claim at all.

Do you understand how you are in error by thinking with only Newtonian physics?

Satanisms ism man's thinking isms forces changes to God that God never owned.

As science human became it's own God.

Basic advice.

The theist says God allows me to change whatever I want.

Hence if God were consciousness it would make God evil.

Said by men as satanisms.

Emptiness owns holds any form of body within it.

Only one body type could support multi.bodies within it as multi created self present forms.

So it is empty to be the containment.

For a space hole as the space to exist a pre existing body holding change exists also.

To see a hole in empty space is to see form that still exists to make a hole appear.

You cannot have a hole unless nothing emptiness exists.
 
I understood what you wrote. Sadly you did not. You believe ideas that can be shown to be wrong. You implied that you would take responsibility for your false beliefs but now you appear to be hypocritically walking back your claim.

Please make up your mind.
If you can’t read and understand what I wrote I’m understanding now how you fail to understand Scripture and twist that as well.

People can pretend things are real or base their lives on a lie and end up paying the price for it. That’s why everyone is personally responsible for the decisions they make for themselves and should base their lives on Truth and be firmly convinced.
Yeah, one has to pay for one's false beliefs, like those who were opposing vaccination and died by Covid-19. Therefore, check for the veracity of your beliefs. Do not blindly accept what is mentioned in books thousands of years old. Humans were not created from soil. It was a long process of evolution from microbes. Woman was not created out of the ribs of a man. The universe / world was not created in six days. There was no universal flood that covered the highest of the peaks for forty days.

What you see when you look around is an image created by your brain. There is no world. It is an illusion. I do not believe in existence of God/Gods/Goddesses. An illusion is neither good nor bad. It is just an illusion.

The good thing about all this is you and I are personally responsible for the decisions we make with no one to blame for how things turn out, it’s for better or worse and I’m glad I received Eternal life through Jesus Christ, best decision I ever made.

I can understand what you linked. I am very sure that you can't. And since it is your source the burden of proof lies upon you.

By the way, I do not "twist scripture". I can honestly interpret scripture. Something that I seriously doubt if you can do.

Come on. Show us that you actually understand. I will be polite when I correct your errors.

Words.

Humans.

One word owns use of lots of words to give one word it's meaning.

Then the holy one word gets manipulated meaning by non use of correct word usage.

Eternal means once it lost gods portion of its eternal into destruction burst burnt. Only a thin womb spatial plane exists between destruction into evolved creation and the eternal.

As space bulges. Science said it is a womb space status.

We came out of the eternal into the pre formed cold but sacrificed gods heavens.

As the eternal spirits that changed into ownership separately of all forms.

No longer any eternal in the state creation.

Jesus never gave you any eternal life.
Wrong description.

Jesus gave you a cloud imaged vision of a man in the clouds which is a hot gas first out of God the stones volcanic body.

Why do you think a theist who theories applied science against God as science theory is told after life sacrifice that no man is God?

Because the theory was said first. Theory about God proven wrong so both sides of the story theory to its reassessment of the theory was told.

The contradiction itself.

Man was told Jesus gave you a recorded image that will remain forever in gods heavens as recording does. A record. Is not any eternal meaning.

Theory first. I want the eternal.

Outcome you got sacrificed.

That is nice if it floats your boat, even if not true. What constitutes me - molecules, received eternal life through science, my best ever decision. They can change form and associations but can never be destroyed. These atoms and molecules were there shortly after we began and will be there till shortly before we end.

No that’s not even close to what I said…

It is exactly what you said.

"when a person is born again like I was my eyes were opened"

That's literally you merely sharing your religious beliefs. You presented this as justification for the claim that the bible is "verifiably true".

So yes, your "argument" here, boils down to nothing more then it being verifiably true because you believe it.

I live it, trust it and found God is faithful to His Word

Which is your religious belief.


For example:
“Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭1:1-6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Preaching scripture won't help turn this around.
You're still just expressing religious beliefs.

Every time we have this argument, I point out that your actions show you share the essential assumptions.

And the rest of the time is repeating myself while you try to pretend otherwise.

I assume that you are evil, therefore it is a fact as true and real that you are evil. In fact I control the world by how I think and I am sane, normal and rational and you are evil.

I don't believe that the world is real. I have faith in the world to be fair in regards to knowledge and our general existence. I am believer and I admit it. You hide behind the word assumption and believe it makes you special and different from other believers.

I assume that God exists, therefore it is a fact, that God exists,
I assume that the world is real, therefore it is a fact, that the world is real.
There are no functional difference between those 2.

Lightly seared on the reality grill.
You seem to misunderstand. I'm not criticising that you paraphrased inaccurately, it was more that you went to part of the bible to justify the bible.
I lived the first 27 years of my life partying it up and ended up in a rehab from all my great ideas. Then I cried out to God to deliver me and He did, so I’ve been walking with God for the last 30+ years, love the Lord and live out His Word and have received blessing upon blessing and not going back.

This seems to have little to do with what I said and you'll find stories like this where people found different (and contradictory) religions and gods, so, whereas I'm glad you got over your problems, it's not a reason to think that your god is actually real, that the bible is any less contradictory, or that you can justify it from itself.

Since the Enlightenment we've become more and more self-conscious about subjectivity. That's why reasoned enquiry, including scientific method, endeavors to maximize objectivity. And the justification for reasoned enquiry, including scientific method, is that it works in reality better than any other alternative.

The reason it doesn't work for religion, as far as I can tell, is that supernatural belief is not concerned with reality. Hence it has no objective standard of truth.
That's quite wrong. And the reason is that you are assuming that superstition is all religious faith is about. And it's not about that by a long shot. What it's about is how it makes people feel about themselves in relation to their experience of existing. And that's as real as anything real you can name. Especially when you realize that "objectivity" in human terms, isn't objective.

You are raising a moderate level if insight into the physicality of existence way above it's actual importance. Because ultimately, what matters, is not our physical existence, or circumstances. It's our experience of it. Life for we humans is not primarily physical, it's experiential. Reasoned inquiry is a useful tool. But that's all it is. A useful tool.
All I've done is carefully distinguish the objectively real from the purely conceptual / purely imaginary.
You've done no such thing. There is no "objective reality" from the human perspective. It's an ideological fiction, like infinity, perfection, and justice. There is also no such state as the "purely conceptual", or "purely imaginary". These, too, are ideological fictions that you've invented to maintain the fiction of an "objective reality". All reality is experiential: physically, conceptually, and imaginatively.

In the end it is the functional difference between these 2 versions of philosophy:
"Philosophy, (from Greek, by way of Latin, philosophia, “love of wisdom”) the rational, abstract, and methodical consideration of reality as a whole or of fundamental dimensions of human existence and experience. ... philosophy | Definition, Systems, Fields, Schools, & Biographies"

Many, if not most non-religious believer here, believe they can do the first one in strict a rational, abstract, and methodical terms and the rest of us are wrong in effect.

I am one of the odd ones in that I am non-religious in the standard sense, yet admit i only have faith and beliefs in the end.

The study of the natural world has given much more understandable and cohesive assertions on why things exist and the claims from the study of the natural world is supported by evidence. So I'll go with what the scientist has to say.
Some hundreds of year back when there were NO scientists exist on this earth -- at that time people understood natural world more clearly because at that time both nature and people were much happier with each other as compare to today's world :)
