    Why should a Christian even look into Islam as a Possible true Faith?

    Oh no! How will I possibly be able to sleep!? I’ll be tossing and turning all night!

    The Great Lie.

    Trying to find mutual terminology is what I’m attempting to do. I’m not trying to put words in your mouth. This is why I ask if you concur when I propose different terminology. The reason I’m seeking terminology that we can mutually agree on, is that the phrasing you are adhering to —...

    Why should a Christian even look into Islam as a Possible true Faith?

    What’s clear to me is your “investigation” revealed what your presupposed confirmation bias allowed you to “find”…..the confirmation of your assumptions and presupposed beliefs. You know; the “wanting to fairly investigate what I already believed to be true. There wasn't anything in the first...

    Why should a Christian even look into Islam as a Possible true Faith?

    Which post was that, post #171?….. The one I directly addressed in post# 188?; The one responding to your bringing up “certainty” after you accused me of “redefining terms” and accusing me as saying you “claimed” whether there such a thing as objectivity, in post#168?…. Where clearly, I gave...

    Why should a Christian even look into Islam as a Possible true Faith?

    What did I avoid? Perhaps you could point out to me. You however, have now twice avoided explaining how you can rectify your two quotes which stand in glaring contradiction to each other.

    Why should a Christian even look into Islam as a Possible true Faith?

    Why different conclusions was your question, which I explained; Simple…..your conclusion can in fact not be objectively demonstrated…… I then specified several instances. I’m suggesting that you have demonstrated each of these flaws in reasoning…. approaching your investigation with bias and...

    Why should a Christian even look into Islam as a Possible true Faith?

    “Are you implying”… “Are you proposing”… “Are you submitting”… “Are you insinuating”… “Are you proffering”… “Are you eluding”… “Are you inferring”… Along with the original “are you suggesting”….. All were options included that in no way imply “certainty”….merely an invitation to put forth your...

    The Great Lie.

    So essentially what I surmised seems to have been fairly accurate; However, it’s statements like this that I find somewhat perplexing……. And… After reading your parable, @bobhikes stated; “From your link I see your assumption being that you can avoid or ignore the pain.” Which you answered...

    Why should a Christian even look into Islam as a Possible true Faith?

    So you did understand the question….. I gave you 12 verbs to pick from (including the original) Why not simply answer it? The best you can do is contest 1 contextual synonym?…… Sad!

    Why should a Christian even look into Islam as a Possible true Faith?

    When you asked “how can you be sure that you are not veiled from the truth?” I explained; Your reply…. Why different conclusion? Simple…..your conclusion can in fact not be objectively demonstrated…… If you could objectively demonstrate the truth of Baha’i Faith….you could prove it to...

    Why should a Christian even look into Islam as a Possible true Faith?

    I realize you didn’t say that. Unfortunately, it’s the very thing that happens when you start with an assumption — rather than from neutral point that you feel is too difficult. You recall you started by assuming….. You’ll recall where I suggested that the better approach is to start without...

    Why should a Christian even look into Islam as a Possible true Faith?

    Your link is to post# 54 The first 2 lines of which are; The first line indicates that the question was asked previously. Post #49 was where the original question was asked;…,,,, from post# 49 Again in post# 54 I then prompted you again in post# 59 with; And then again in post#141 quoted the...

    The Great Lie.

    Forgive my attempt at summation. This is why I put it in quotation marks. I can see in rereading it, that may have come off as looking like a quote from you. Allow me to more clearly phrase it. Where I said; Read;…. “And in these cases can “suffer” more than necessary. Would this be what you...

    The Great Lie.

    Doesn’t this border on semantics? Physical pain being a sensory input to alert the brain of possible injury. The more intense that input the more attention and immediacy the brain will pay to it. The more lingering that input the more one is motivated to discover a way to eliminate it and if...

    Why should a Christian even look into Islam as a Possible true Faith?

    Which was the original question.; So, apparently I have to go with both…. You’re incapable of answering which makes you unwilling to answer. Got it.

    Why should a Christian even look into Islam as a Possible true Faith?

    I asked you a very simple question, which you didn’t answer. I’ve prompted you twice since for that answer. You have yet to answer. Are you incapable or simply unwilling to answer a simple question? The “study” you link to here has nothing to do with whether or not a qm “observer” is...

    Why should a Christian even look into Islam as a Possible true Faith?

    Where you say “as an outsider”….what do you mean? I make it a habit to look at things from as many perspectives as possible. Whether your or my perspective is any more relevant would be dependent on the subject being discussed. You apparently missed the point. The OP suggested viewing things...

    Why should a Christian even look into Islam as a Possible true Faith?

    By only accepting that which can be objectively demonstrated. Is this the sort of claptrap that made you doubt yourself until you managed to find your puzzle pieces that “fit” and convinced you? A case in point….

    Why should a Christian even look into Islam as a Possible true Faith?

    It appears very subjective when someone looks for pieces that “fit” what they are looking for…. where confirmation biases often pass over and discard those that don’t “fit” that puzzle. By recognizing what a brain so desperately seeks and then feeding that what it seeks while censoring that...

    Why should a Christian even look into Islam as a Possible true Faith?

    To be fair, this appears to be highly subjective. And, could easily be a description of brainwashing that you queried about in your OP. Furthermore, don’t most brainwashed people fail to recognize or realize that they have been brainwashed while they are? I’ve never found this to be true. I...
