@XXSpadeMasterXX,
Quote:everything you have read comes from the old testament...
Be careful about jumping to conclusions (or maybe how you phrase your assumptions). I've read the whole Babble. I started my undergraduate studies with the intent of going on to seminary.
Quote:my question to you is...does this not prove that there is NO salvation in the laws??? and a NEED for a savior and new covanent? exactly as it went down...
Why would I need to prove a negative? You're the one making the positive assertion that such a salvation - and the need for it - exists. If someone makes an assertion that something is true, it's up to that person to provide evidence. Without such evidence, the issue remains undecided. Which is my position. If one's assertion involves miraculous suspensions of the observable laws of nature, one's evidence needs to be all the more stronger. Either you have evidence or you don't. If you do, present it. If you don't, then what do you have? Just a preferred myth. Sorry, but I didn't invent the rules of logic. I just use them.
Quote:and how then can some atheists say they are in agreement with SOME of the Bible (mainly ten commandments) but yet then say certain parts of the old testament are wrong.
Because the best way to sell a story (or a religion) is to mix a few kernels of truth in with whatever myth you're trying to sell. It happens every day. And not just with religion. That's what advertising is all about.
Quote:why then do you believe the ten commandments are correct?
Where did I ever make such a statement? You seem to be mixing me up with someone else you've been arguing with. Please try to differentiate among those with whom you disagree. Thanks.
Quote:and does this not make you hypocritical yourselves?
See above.
Quote:So if your hypocritical as WE ALL are...
I'm torn between pointing out your logical break and commending you for admitting that you're a hypocrite. Decisions, decisions.
Quote:then what makes you think that Atheism or Agnostic beliefs are not flawed as well?
Again, where did I make this claim. I don't think any metaphysical position is flawless, therefore I don't have any such beliefs. Google "Pyrrhonism".
Quote:if Christianity is, and any other belief, religion etc...what makes you believe Atheism is ALWAYS right?
I don't think any metaphysical position is "ALWAYS" right. You may be right that, for some, atheism is a belief that there is no creator deity, supernatural afterlife, etc. But where have I claimed such a belief? Search my posts, please. Again, you seem to be confusing me with someone else.
My only claim is that those who so vehemently assert the existence of a supernatural creator deity are burdened with providing evidence for such. If you don't/can't, then I have no more reason to believe in your favorite deity than someone else's. Or none at all, since nobody has been able to produce any credible evidence for supernatural entities.
I have an invisible, fire-breathing dragon in my basement. Prove to me that I don't. (Thanks, Prof. Sagan.) You can't, because every test you propose, I come up with a reason why it won't work. It's up to me to prove that I have an invisible, fire-breathing dragon in my basement; it's not up to you to prove that I don't.
Peace.
