Religious Knowledge

I'm happy to concede that only by becoming a Christian will anybody truly understand what it means to be a Christian. But to equate Christian knowledge with spiritual knowledge is arroga ...[text shortened]... Christian somehow makes him a better interpreter of the Bible than an atheist or non-Christian.

Daily reading and hand-writing of the Holy Bible, along with God’s indwelling Holy Spirit, are all that’s needed, amigo!

The Holy Spirit’s role in the life of a Christian is vital; don’t underestimate that!

“But the Comforter, who is the Holy Ghost whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.“

(John 14:26)

Romans says he has written out large portions of the Bible. Don't underestimate him.

Did he mean 'write out,' or 'cut and paste?'

He actually hand-writes it. Don't underestimate him.

Well, even so.

it gives him powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Don't underestimate him.

That, and Google.

Don’t need Google. That’s how someone without God’s Holy Spirit finds Bible verses, and they’re often not appropriate to the discussion because such a person is using his carnal mind.

That’s true; I have. And it’s been a tremendous blessing. Immersing oneself in God’s Word by hand-writing it - and speaking the words as one writes them - is a joy I wish more Christians would experience.

Total blessing!

Hand-write, amigo.

When one hand-writes the Holy Bible, his or her concentration on God’s Word is greatly magnified - even more so if one speaks the words as he or she writes them.

A blessing I wish more Christians would enjoy!

That’s right!

I realize you think Jesus Christ was only a man (despite His many assertions to the contrary) so you lack God’s Holy Spirit, which only indwells believers.

But you may still get something out of hand-writing the Holy Bible. It may lead you to the truth that Jesus Christ was God in the flesh.

Try it!

So sad you mock someone for loving God’s Word...

Troll on, amigo!

But remember your limitations. You can’t troll anymore like the young uns. Pace yourself!

Roman has rambled throughout the night about his superior religious knowledge (over an atheist) 'purely' on the grounds of being a theist. (Study of the subject apparently isn't a factor, as clearly he is deficient in this regard).

What is ironic si that you are like

>Objective knowledge
>Here is a Proverb that implies that the wise and discernign are the ones who acquire knowledge, which implies that knowledge is more likely to eexist within the subjects who are intelligent and discerning and not fools...

Y'know, like Romans was saying.
