Apollo,
I did not insinuate that you would steal. I don't insinuate much; usually if I want to accuse someone of something I just come right out and do it. I'm not much on beating around the bush. As for the lying accusation, you may have a different understanding of what lying is but and intentional attempt to mislead or deceive is lying, and you are guilty of that with out question.
And by the way, there is no prohibition against judging anyone’s heart in "Christian law" as you put it. Most Christians think that such a "law" exists, but they would be wrong. There is only a prohibition against being a hypocrite when you judge. IN other words, you shouldn't judge if you are doing the same thing that you are judging the other person for. If you do, you will be judged by the same measure you use to judge by.
Judging for dummies...
1. Take the plank out of your own eye.
2. Then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother’s eye.
So, we are to judge rightly! Whether we are judging the actions themselves or the hearts of those committing them is of no consequences. ‘Judge rightly’, applies in either case.
As for the evidence you asked for and were given. If you choose not to take advantage of a complete presentation that has been well produced and is available free of charge to unbelievers like yourself then that's on you. As for my saying that there is a literal mountain of evidence for the resurrection, I meant exactly that. And if you read the description of the video on the web page I linked to, then you know that that phrase is used as a catch line in the video. I used the phrase in hopes of getting the exact reaction from you that I got, specifically so that I could send you to that site and present a video with the same catch phrase in its advertisement so that perhaps your interest would be peaked and that you would get the video. The tactic has worked every single time I have ever used it. And it's really brilliant (if I do say so myself) because whether the individual gets the video or not, I know that I'm getting ready to learn a lot about the persons real motivations.
You see, there is simply no good reason for you not to get that video. You asked for the information and I gave you a simple and free way to get that information and yet you refused it! Why? Well, the only possible reason is that you don't want to know. You are willfully ignorant, which I knew from the moment I read your first post! You totally deserved the stupid post of the day! Not only was the assertion in the post unsubstantiated in the post, it was off topic and more than that it just screamed at me that whoever posted that drivel, HATED God! I knew from the start that you were a knuckle head and that this conversation had almost no possibility of getting anywhere, which is why I had to be prodded several times before I even actively engaged this conversation and is the reason I have been quick and consistent in pointing out when you've said idiotic, sinful things. The fact of the matter is that you hate God for whatever reason and you take every opportunity to slander Him.
And the real tricky thing is that you know better. I don't care how many college classes you take, you will never find ANY religion anywhere in all of recorded history, that is anything but a list of rules by which we can get to god. Christianity is THE ONLY faith in all of the history of mankind where you see God coming to us, and not only that but doing so by GRACE, not via of a list of rules! In this respect Christianity is completely unique and I strongly suspect that you knew that before you posted that nonsense about what you learned at college. I'm not saying that you made it up necessarily. It may be that you are just parroting some idiot college professor that perhaps presented some information in such a way as to insinuate something that is not supported by actual history. Either way, it doesn't matter. Christianity is not a derivation of some prior pagan religion and you know that as well as I do. (Your stating otherwise was an outright lie, by the way.)
Any way, my point is that in my experience when someone goes to such great lengths to slander God in such a convoluted and idiotic ways as you have on this thread, it is generally because that person knows down deep inside that he is a wicked and vile person, guilty of all sorts of things that only he know about (he and God). And God had better not be real or else you're in big trouble. Either that or they blame God for some tragedy that has happened and they're angry and sometimes a little of both mixed in there together. I don't know which applies to you, although, if you continue to post on this site and I have further contact with you, I will figure it out eventually. And yes, there are exceptions, so I could be wrong, but I doubt it very seriously and I'll figure that out too.
So, I will close by asking you again to get that video. PLEASE! Just get it and watch it. It won't cost you anything but the time it takes to watch it and if it's not what it claims to be then you are no worse off than you are right now. On the other hand, however, what if it is exactly what it claims to be and it turns out that Jesus really is God and the He really did die and really did rise from the grave? What then? Well, that prospect may scare the crap out of you because then you have to change everything, right? Everything! I would venture to say that there is not one single aspect of you life that wouldn't have to be turned on its ear if you came to the conclusion that Jesus is the creator God of the universe. Whether you get the video or not that definitely something for you to think about, isn't it?
Resting in Him,
Clete
P.S. I've been super busy over the last couple of days and am still very short on time. I didn’t do a lot of editing on this post, so I apologize to those who read it, for any run-on sentences or other annoyances of grammar that I didn't edit out!
