No...I stand my ground you lie against Christ in every post...
Get a life.
I joined a critical thinking board because I am very much interested in improving my ability to think critically - specifically, to understand syllogisms, to recognize fallacies, to identify correctly constructed argument, and to to analyze evidence (especially unusual or rare evidence). I personally find these actives entertaining as well as enlightening. I have learned a great deal here at JREF. I believe that my life is made batter through these activities. I like to think I already have a life, so I don't need to get one. By the way, why did you come to JREF and why have you stayed so long?
As for the lying, all I can say is what I say to all people who make absurd claims, show me the evidence. Cite any particular sentence in my post and say "that statement is untrue." You cannot. The idea that my saying that you believe that not every single verse in the Bible is the Word of God is inaccurate because it is only a few OT verses that you reject is laughably ridiculous. Even the youngest of schoolchildren knows that the Bible consists of the OT and the NT. Nothing is misleading in any possible way by saying that there are some Bible verses that you place no credence in. Every verse that you reject as being a human-written product of a the times and cultures of a particular people is a Bible verse
therefore it is not a lie.
You have created some personal interpretation of my post and now insist that I am a liar. I defy you to find any person who agrees that my post contained a lie.
I never said I backed all that the particular author says, I just agree with what he says about the tombs being opened.
And I never said that you did. Read the post again. Nothing I said was a lie. I said that you cited a person who believes in a literal, inerrant version of the Bible. That is not a lie. No lie was told. There is nothing untrue or misleading in that statement.
If you are talking in general, as I said they are trying to know God as in the Christian way, we are brothers in Christ, you make it out to be a bad thing that’s the lie.
It
is a bad thing.
1 The God of the Bible (which is approximately 33% Jesus) is a monster that deserves no respect at all. Talking about how wonderful it is to be joined in a religion that offers salvation does
nothing to minimizes the absurd hurdles God placed in our path to require us to ask for and to need salvation. I have done nothing that requires a ritual blood sacrifice to "make me right." I have done nothing to require a human's death for atonement. And on the flip side, a mass murderer who on his deathbed says, "I'm sorry; forgive me for all that killing" has done nothing to deserve a full and complete pardon.
Just because he's a fundamentalist? He could be totally right and I could be wrong so I don't discount that viewpoint or judge it.
Again I have to ask, why are you at the JREF? His viewpoint can be summarily rejected because when folks like him are asked for evidence, they reply "God said it, I believe it, end of story." Until evidence can be provided, his claims deserve no more attention that the claims of the folks who say that aliens are making crop circles or that homeopathy works.
After all who’s to stop God from the removal of evil and it’s seed?
Evil?! Your Bible says that coveting one's neighbor's house is as evil as killing a person in cold blood. I hardly think fundamentalist Christians are in a position to talk about what is or isn't evil.
I was going to conclude with another request to stop calling me a liar, but instead, I'll urge you to continue to call me a liar because it will make clear to everyone your perspective in this matter.

While I am now saying it is a bad thing, there is nothing in the original post which says it is a bad thing.
