Yes, but the main point I made was point A (that's why it was first). How does anyone know that Christianity, or any religion for that matter, is the truth?
All u can do is follow ur heart and let it guide u to what u truly want to believe in, i mean, people in general. And hopefully, one day it will guide u to God. I remember one time in my life, i made a firm decision that the bible was written by humans no more perfect that i am, therefore viewing the Bible as imperfect. I chose not to believe every single thing in the Bible. But as I grew, and found new friends I'm more close to than any other friend I've ever had, it just so happened that they were influenced by God, which made me curious because they'd talk about all these realities i didn't wanna hear. So I've started to read the Bible now, because I can't really have much of an opinion on certain issues concerning the Bible if i don't read the entire thing. Plus, God influenced the men that wrote the Bible so that his followers in the future would know from how everything began, to how it's all going to end. He wants us to be prepared, and whenever i find something in the Bible that doesn't sound right, I ask about it. i still have doubts at times, but I always come back to God. And a very reliable source, one of my friends heavily influenced by God, and someone's word i don't take lightly, and i look up to, told me, that if u read the last book of the Bible: 'Revelations', u will see everything in there is happening as we speak. And I always think about that when i have doubts. Sometimes i think there's no way i'll truly know until i read 'Revelations' for myself, but because I like to read in sequence, and I'm in Genesis right now, I won't be getting to that anytime soon. But I trust my friend enough to believe what she said. So for any non-believer, i think i would tell them to read a version of the Bible that's easy to understand, and see if what my friend said sounds right.

you fail because you just now see its futile arguing with him. thats why my statements have degenerated into mocking hatred. your still actively trying to persuade him. theres the fail
Then you continue to fail to see that I have mocked him longer than you've been a member. I only argue with him as a matter of illustrating his stupidity to those who might read into his absolute certainty. But, pehaps I also fail becuase I point this out to you, despite you not knowing what you're talking about.
Originally posted by Devil Kingi know what your talking about but the fact that you STILL debate with him on any matter is just sad.

Fine. I'll not debate my motivation with you. Perhaps you should spend less time telling me how absurd I am, and more time telling him how stupid he is. I realize that will be more satisfying for you, since telling someone else they're stupid is your primary reason for participation in a discussion on this forum.

Because if you sit down and think about it, it makes sense.Just like Einsteinian theories.
How does evolution make sense? I have sat down and thought about it--it is not possible. I believe that evolution is the most pervasive and pernicious lie that satan has ever devised.

"And that, is why you fail." You blame every instance of contention on the involvment of satan, while excusing the obvious and blatant inconsistancies of your own strictly-biblical perspective.
Sadly, the evidence provided by your own god is the very evidence that disproves his absolute involvment. I think it's sad that when you die you'll expect to see angels and trumpeting horns, but will be answered only by your own god telling you what a waste of time your life was.
And why? Because you will spend your time telling others how much god hates them, when your own god spent his own time telling others how much he loved them.

I disagree with the following your heart part because:
Jeremiah 17:9
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?
I think that any true seeker after the Truth should ask Jesus to reveal it to them.

Yet, it is all Jesus listened to.
1 Peter 2:21-22
21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:
22 “ Who committed no sin, nor was deceit found in His mouth”
Jesus is sinless; therefore, His heart is not full of deceit or sin. Hence, Jesus could afford to be led by the Holy Spirit. Actually, all believers can be led by the Spirit as well.
