    With this in mind, why do you accept the teaching of Jesus (while he walked the Earth) ...[text shortened]... of the Bible, and yet somehow stand outside your own accusation of disingenuous cherry picking?

    Seems GoaD has decided to once again pretend that I haven't answered these questions many a time. It's what he does. It's what trolls do. If there's anyone new to the forum who hasn't seen my answers, let me know. I'll be happy to respond.

    Where do I find these answers (that you often refer to? )

    I've never seen them.

    This is where GoaD furthers his lies. Nothing new here.

    Once again we have ToO appealing to new members of the forum to whom he will gladly bestow answers to questions he refuses consistently to provide to regular forum users. Hilarious!!! Next, he'll be boldly declaring how he will willingly give answers to extraterrestrials or people with two heads called Geoffrey.

    The epitome of this is sonship, someone ToO has been communicating with on a daily basis for years, still apparently oblivious to whether or not ToO actually believes in God at all (and has recently gone so far as to refer to him as an atheist).

    The deceit and trolling continue. Once again, nothing new here.

    GoaD started as a troll. He continues as a troll. See the following thread for an example of his early efforts.

    https://www.redhotpawn.com/forum/spirituality/john-858.164426

    He started off with the following comment:
    "As a neutral observer, i think Joseph is winning this argument."

    And then went on to show that he was anything but a "neutral observer".

    Weak.

    Tragically you have (as Shakespeare would put it) been '"hoisted with your own petard."

    You have proudly labeled people disingenuous who cherry-pick from the Bible things they like and things they dismiss, forgetting (apparently) that this forms the very nucleus of your own beliefs, namely that the teachings of Jesus are genuine, while other biblical content is to be rejected.


    Go ahead, deny you cherry pick,.....though keep in mind your own words, "Those who claim that they do not pick and choose are disingenuous at best."

    lol. You're not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer. Your position is...well...plain stupid. But that's true of most things you post. Nothing new here.

    Anyone care to explain it to GoaD?

    Just one inane comment from GoaD after another. That's about all that can be expected from a troll - at least one as dim as GoaD

    Years on the site, posting regularly in a spirituality forum, and people are still feeling the need to ask if you believe in God.

    Bizarre.


    *Heads up. Constantly questioning the intellect of people (clearly smarter than yourself) merely broadcasts your insecurity,...as does your inability to answer questions about your beliefs.

    The following thread is another early example of GoaD's trolling. Note how his posts were in an effort to "stir the pot". 

    https://www.redhotpawn.com/forum/spirituality/salvation.165585 

    This is nothing new from GoaD. Nothing substantive with liberal amounts of deceit thrown in.

    Forum reenactment:

    "ToO, can I ask you a question?" says a forum regular.
    "What?" answers ToO, preparing to challenge their intellect.
    "Well, we've been posting back and forth now in this spirituality forum for a number of years and discussed all the intricacies of theology and faith in minute detail..."
    "Yes, so?"
    "Well, I was just wondering, erm,...do you believe in God?"
    "That's such a naive question!"

    He is the kind of wordy conjecturist who thinks everything he posts is on the money where nothing could be further from the truth

    He will become an old man filled with regret if he continues in this vein

    I am not a Catholic, and perhaps there are a lot of issues concerning Catholicism, but the Catholic Church does not exist to please the world. Of that was the case, they would have yielded on things like birth control long ago.

    Satan is an integral part of the Christian world, as is hell.

    Hell was created by the nature of rebellion against God. It cannot be abolished as we made it in cooperation. And to give oneself over to hell, freely resigns one to that place.
