Do You Believe We're In The"Last Days"?

[Danalys]

there is no context but the one you are in.

I have a question, what makes Christianity more truthful than any other religion? Is there anything to it, other than faith? I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to religion.

 

[JewishHobbit]

That's how the Bible is. There's no puncuation in the original language. It was all placed there when it was translated into English.

This is how 7th Day Adventists get around Jesus' statement: "I tell you, this day I will see you in Paradise."

They maintain that what Jesus really said was, "I tell you this day,...I will see you in Paradise."

What does this have to do with the conversation? Or was it something a page or two back, because I haven't read back that far.

I believe it to be the true religion based on personal experiences. It takes faith to get to that point though.

 

[Danalys]

Uhh....no.

it's true.

Nothing makes it more truthful than any other religion. It all comes down to personal belief and faith and nothing more.

it's true.

No it's not. Context is multi-dimensional depending on a person's ability to interpret any given scenario from multiple viewpoints. It's also highly individual and therefore different from person to person, so your context may be very different from another person's but it doesn't make it singular. Quit trying to oversimplify.

That's soo depressing. I've spent my entire life believing in Christianity, until one day I wasn't quite sure why I was believing in it, other than the way I was raised and my local society. Now I don't know what to think, and I'm sure to wake up in hell.

Reminds me of a quote, "...I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours." Stephen Roberts, I think.

if my sentance is general then it satifies all contexts. thus it is read as fitting any context. so depending on what one is or in is it changes. that is contextual adaptiveness.

Good for you. That shouldn't depress you. That means you have a functioning mind. You're conscious.

Hypocrisy?

 

[Danalys]

there's no one answer.

Personal context does not preclude the existence of public context or context of other individuals, therefore the context you are in is NOT the only one.

Your unwillingness (or inability) to site specific examples does nothing to advance your argument.

I once did that when I joined the Hype and it took me about 6 hours to fully type out an explanation.

It's not that I'm unwilling to share what you know, but to really understand it, needs a lot of work and study and I've found that those who don't believe generally aren't willing to do the work.

It's not that difficult to go to a local Christian book store and pick up some books on prophecy. Those authors have generally done more work than I could in the Hype format to fully explain Biblical prophecy. If you really want to know, that's probably the best way for the both of us.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

screw that, just go to any number of pro-Christian websites.
They're too lazy to even Google the stuff.
That's why I stopped explaining things in too much detail.

You mean people don't want to make your arguments for you? Shocking.

 

[Danalys]

look i've simulataneously argued with kessel and bison about this stuff for days on end. i think i learnt abit. i also checked sites. i've gone to early christian and jewish writing websites. yet you can't provide one detail. there isn't one. i understand more about the writing method of the bible and it's effect on a reader than you ever will mostly because i developed many of the same techniques independantly. i just use them to different ends.

as a logical arguement you fail to uphold on the burden of proof.

 

[Super Kal]

I personally think that we are in the last days...

all are one.

i actually have done for some people. when playing devils advocate, if they were incapable, i played devil's advocate to myself. best way to learn and challenge your own views.

 

[jaguarr]

all are one.

Then explain how you and I have contextual differences over the concept.
