Originally posted by kd2aczmy apologies, i thought you were asking if a knew the literal difference between a lie and truth. you meant - can i tell if im being told the truth or a lie. the answer to that is yes and no. sometimes i can sometimes i cant, depending on the skill of the liar.
How do you know? What do you gauge against?
-Removed-I was on my Iphone so please forgive the short responses. If the question on yes or no is God Sovereign?. I will have to say no, he is not sovereign over the earth since he gave that authority to Adam, who in turn gave it to Satan.
Who wins the war? God of course, then he will again be sovereign over the earth.
My question to you, is what do you think Satan's role is. You call yourself a Christian so you must at least believe he exist's no?

yeah, you get to play lets-pretend and too few people are prepared to stand up and call you out on it given you are an adult, and really ought to know better! 😵
God/Wisdom cry out to you and many like you, yet you refuse to hear.
God freely gave his only son for the sins of every one in the world, all you need is to humble yourself, admit you don't really know anything, and make him Lord. He will come and make his abode with you, teach you, comfort you and love you.
-Removed-When i said he is like a brilliant mad scientist, I did not say it was in scripture, it was figuratively speaking, since he rebelled against God. How foolish was that?
As for your other comments about God being in total control of all that happens, it would behoove you to read here...

Originally posted by checkbaiterWell actually on this issue I am more knowledgeable than yourself because though I do not know for absolute mathematical certainty I will not be licking strawberry spiral lollipops, in fields of dancing sunflowers, and chirping bluebirds on permanently sunny days when the functionality of my physical body here in the real world expires - I do know that such delights will not be doled out by the god you believe in. Indeed the teaching, comfort and love you derive from your god is sourced entirely from your imagination.

- There is no Satan, there is no silly old battle between Satan and God, and "sin" is just a pointless concept defined entirely in terms of what your imaginary friend doesn't like (who did not freely give "h"is only son for anything)
Originally posted by checkbaiterHa ha. I'd like to see some claims from one of those irrefutable sources. Care to list some? I bet I can refute some of them.

I could certainly refute your claim that I cannot know real truth from within myself. Did you get that from an outside source, or did you make it up? I sure hope it didn't come from within yourself or it could not be a real truth could it?
