re: Religious Leaders Told to 'Prepare Now' for UFO Disclosure and 'Bible-Changing' Revelation

I played Polybius in Area 51. A secret code inside the Bible said I would.

The hell if it's not. You took us down this tangent where you're questioning my faith which has absolutely nothing to do with the topic of this thread.

Let's recap how we got here:

1) You said: "These conversations will always end the same way and it's why I don't tend to engage with you much. It's a waste of time. By now you should have realized that you participating in fruitless debate and give up as the Bible tells you to." LINK

2) I said: "It's not a fruitless debate or discussion when it is in a public forum, being read by others. If this were a private discussion, I would not engage you as I am, because you are lost and need to be saved through Jesus Christ, and these arguments are truly fruitless without you being converted. But because this is more or less a public discussion, I engage for the sake of others who are reading it." LINK

3) In response to this comment, you said: "Look at the arrogance on display here" LINK

4) I then asked if you were a Christian (summarized) LINK

5) You responded that you don't believe the biblical model of salvation (summarized) LINK


Now I'll summarize this: You said it was a waste of time to engage me in these conversations (that may be true for you), but then implied that I wasn't following the Bible by continuing to participate in a "fruitless debate". I responded that it wasn't fruitless because it's a public debate, and that since you aren't a Christian, I wouldn't engage you this way if it were merely private, as it wouldn't do any good for you without you being saved. You accused me of being arrogant for saying you weren't weren't saved, so I asked you if you believed the basic gospel message to indicate whether or not you at least were giving assent to the only way of salvation (as I understand it), in order to justify my statement about you not being a Christian.

This digression (as you are asserting) occurred because you first implied that I wasn't being consistent as a Christian for engaging in discussion with you, and then you called me arrogant for believing what the Bible teaches. I attempted to justify my position by asking you a question about salvation, and now you are accusing me of going off-topic. You were the one who did that.

You asked the fricking question. For fricks sake.

See above. You were the one accusing me of not acting according to the Bible and then criticized me for going off-topic by defending myself.

At the very least, I think that these verses mark some stage of a transition to monotheism. I agree that it's not blatantly stated but it points towards a movement, imo.

---

By the definitions I use I would refer to this as henotheism. But then again I don’t think there is a single monotheistic religion on earth. It’s all henotheism or polytheism.

quote:

---

Chapter 44 This is what the Lord says— Israel’s King and Redeemer, the Lord Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God. 7 Who then is like me? Let him proclaim it. Let him declare and lay out before me what has happened since I established my ancient people, and what is yet to come— yes, let them foretell what will come.

---

Yahweh uses similar language to psalm 89:

quote:

---

6For who in the skies can be compared to the LORD? Who among the heavenly beings is like the LORD, 7a God greatly to be feared in the council of the holy ones, and awesome above all who are around him?

---

It also has echos of the end of Job when Yahweh asked Job was he there when he made the earth, measured its cornerstones, made the firmament, etc.

Back to Isaiah 44: who is like me? That implies there are others that could be compared to Yahweh. Let him proclaim it. That implies there are others who could potentially proclaim such a thing. It’s henotheism. It’s boasting that Yahweh is better than all the other gods and it’s only Yahweh that is worthy of worship.

Attack the person instead of addressing the relevant subject matter.

When said person is a nutcase... yeah. Attack the nutcase. His work is garbage.

quote:

All nonsense. You skipped the part where you accused me of not believing the Bible.

---

That part wasn't necessary to show the progression based on your accusion.

You don't believe the Bible, though. You have reinterpreted the Bible to make it fit your own belief system.

Why is this thread still going?

Dang

Attack the person instead of addressing the relevant subject matter. Set a great example for future fallacious arguments of your ilk.

I've addressed his stuff through you as his medium for months, if not years, on this site. You can't talk about Christianity without using his material.

The total sum of your contribution to the actual thread topic literally consists of you insisting over and over that you are correct because of magic.

No it hasn't. I would love to see you prove a negative. Many people have come forward saying they were there. One person denied it. Many others have said they have since received the same briefing.

Bitch and cry all you want. I don't care.

Go watch Mike Winger's video about it. And without watching that, we already know these people are false prophets, and proven liars, many times over. They want your attention, and you're just eating it up.

Who is?

Again, who are you talking about? Which names have I promoted in this thread that people should pay attention to? Tim Burchett? Are you calling him one of these "false prophets?"
