Originally posted by PudgenikNo, I would not, as I think I explained. But then you wouldn't accept that sort of account either for something you didn't currently believe to be true.
But even if i got them on here, would you really believe what they had to say as an eye witness account.
Did anyone ever tell you it takes Faith to believe in God?
Yes, they did. So why don't you keep it honest and just stick with that line instead of trying to offer 'proof' that turns out not to be proof?
The problem however is that your Faith, doesn't go very far in convincing others that what you believe is true. After all, you are not so easily convinced by Muslims who have Faith or Hindus who have Faith.

Obviously you have not been reading anything i have written.
I come down harder on the Christians in these Forums than anyone else. I am not of the same mindset as most.
What religion a person is doesn't really matter, what matters is where your heart is.

I don't think you read what I wrote. What do you think I said?

So it doesn't really matter which religion is true, prayer just works if your heart is in the right place? Does this mean you don't really think your own religion is true?
Originally posted by twhiteheadIf a Hindu told me he had faith, i would be glad for him, but would not convert to his faith or any other. I'm glad he has faith, faith is good to have. There are some who feel that in their churches teachings, it is ok to kill others. This is against basic human law, and not acceptable.

You know basic human laws by the peace in your own heart. When one steels from another. You already know it is wrong, even though it might feel good to do so. Or killing another human. Again you already know it is wrong to do so, even when your church encourages you to do it.
It is written in the scripture, that those who eat meat should not condemn those who feel you should only have milk. The same is true here. I know that my faith is pleasing to God, and i know that the Hindu's faith is pleasing to God, and anyone else who's heart is circumcised is pleasing to God. No matter the church or belief. Did not Jesus say to the crowds, I have not seen so much faith in all of Israel, when speaking of the Centurian?
Prayer is from your heart to God.
My own religion is right for me.

I have heard some stories that seem far out there, yet the peace of God in my heart will show it as truth.

There are things i don't understand and/or don't agree with to. But it is plainly beyond me. I do what i can do, and what the Holy Spirit gives me to do. Beyond that, God can have it.

that is less than worthless
"I don't know" would be more honest
not replying would be understandable
but your response is just ... passing the buck I guess
