Anyone Changing Their Mind

It is wise to have beliefs that are malleable... otherwise when you or I find out we're wrong we won't handle it well.

I used to like this forum.

Now I've come to the realization that most things you say here are worthless.

This coming from someone who often is incorrect about what hes talking about?

On the contrary I find these forums quite entertaining.

That's ironic..... Seeing as you are the person who said Jesus wanted people to be killed in front of him but didn't look at the other sciptures around it which showed him speaking a parable.

Then when I showed this to you, you didn't even respond.
Remeber the 'Jesus also thought that non-believers should be stoned?'

Oh, was Alliance claiming to be a good guy? 😗

Could this be only part of a story about Jesus?

Jesus in the scriptures didn't say for anyone to be killed, but yet his disciples had weapons...........ie...cut off the guards ear, which Jesus did heal........why did they have these weapons and would ready to use them in such a way as this?

Jesus did not condone those weapons though did he? He told his disciple to put away his weapon because those who live by the sword will die by it.

Do you remeber the passage, I forget where it was.

And If you don't like this forum, just leave. Many of us like it.

As seems to be the general consensus (though I’ll admit the sample size is quite small), no one here has drastically changed their system of beliefs due to this forum. This is a place for discussion.

That is not to say, however, that people have not changed because of knowledge they’ve gained from reading responses to the various posts. We are changing and growing constantly, and I think that is a wonderful thing.

I haven’t been around KMC for very long, so this is more of a “hopeful” post than an actual observation. I don’t believe the number of minds this forum has changed should determine its usefulness; rather, the number of minds it has opened up to tolerance (and better yet, acceptance) of other’s ideas through understanding.

Since most matters discussed here are those of faith rather than fact, I think we should caution ourselves against labels like stupidity, blindness, and ignorance. Because we are dealing with something that often rests at our core, we are prone to developing an undue air of moral or intellectual superiority regarding our own system of beliefs. At such times, it's good to remember how grateful we are for the diversity that allows us to have these debates. 🙂

Diversity is a good thing, but is a position based soley on faith and not on logic a sound position?

It seems to me that if you wish to ignore logical asnd have a position based solely on faith, it doesn't really have a place in a public discussion.

We create a rationalized system for our faith.

And then we call it logic.
