For an expanded answer read past threads whereby you asked this question.sleeper;1389685 wrote:So what caused you to validate one religion over another? Why is your faith right and the others wrong?
In short, the presence of the Holy Spirit combined with immersion in the Holy Word.

We are all sinful. It can't be avoided. That's the beauty of the Gospel. It is He that "washed our hands".sleeper;1389715 wrote:Probably shouldn't wash your hands then, "thou shall not murder"...

Fair enough. I can now label every believer a murderer. Nice to know you support and condone this action because sin cannot be avoided.Con_Alma;1389729 wrote:We are all sinful. It can't be avoided. That's the beauty of the Gospel. It is He that "washed our hands".

I thought you studied all religions and sifted through their BS before choosing your current beliefs. If you didn't study them all, how can you be certain that you've picked the right one? If you did study them all, please list what those religions don't have(note: they ALL have made up entities like the Holy Spirit) that yours does? I'd be interested in hearing your analysis.Con_Alma;1389727 wrote:???? I don't know if they do or not.

I can be certain of Christianity for the reasons I previously stated above and in other threads. In short, the presence of the Holy Spirit combined with immersion in the Holy Word.

Well you had to come to a conclusion to reject all other beliefs and ascertain your own. I asked how you could do this without studying all other religions to verify that they are wrong and you are correct.Con_Alma;1389756 wrote:Why do you think I studied all relgions?

I came to a conclusion of validity by nature of the presence of the Holy Spirit combined with immersion in the Holy Scripture. Have such a conclusion of validity eliminates the need to further investigate others.

Dear lord, this thread has devolved ...
Not that I wish to get in between you two, but once you find out that the answer to 3+3 is 9, do you have to check all the other natural numbers, ad infinitum, to make sure they're not also the answer to 3+3?
-just like-
Things that can be determined by olfactory sensation should be treated as such. Things that cannot be determined by olfactory sensation should be treated as such.
To suggest otherwise is known as a category fallacy.

Also, 3+3 = 6 is a mathematical proof verifiable through logic and reason. You also don't devote your whole lifestyle around a simple equation nor indoctrinate your children with that knowledge through an ancient textbook. I mean the amount of logical leaps and stretches you have to go through to make this comparison would tire even a runner from Kenya.
Why even bother with science at all? Like I said, next time you are injured, don't go to the hospital just pray to god and see how that works out for you. :laugh:
