I have answered this question over and over in the past, you continue to ignore it.

---

Have you given a list of commands, or at least principles?

You keep saying we need to obey God's commands. I believe I'm faithfully seeking to do that according to what God has revealed in the Bible. If you think those commands are not what we're supposed to obey, or that there are more commands that need to be obeyed, I need to know what those are.

If you can’t admit “take nothing except a staff alone”, and “do not take a staff” are saying the opposite about the staff

You're right. Brilliant Christians for the last 1000+ years have either ignored this passage or just been absolutely mystified by it. There are NO explanations for how these passages aren't contradictory.

The truth is only simpletons who read the skeptics annotated bible think this is an actual contradiction because people with geniune intelligence would look into multiple explanations, not just emotionally glom onto the first, most superficial response that attempts to disprove Christianity

Ok hypocrite who won't bother to think outside of your tiny emotional bubble

I noticed you won't address the question of your emotional need for Christianity to be false

Who said this? It's becoming clear you don't know the first thing about Christianity. You're a buffoon

Is that like when you keep saying jihadists don't exist and if we leave them alone they'll leave us alone, Bagdad Bob?

Christianity is the religion of Paul, not Jesus

Nope. When Paul went around to the synagogues and talking to the Gentiles, what was he talking about?

Galatians 2:6
Acts 15

You had to have "God" reveal that to you? That if you do things in society that people don't generally like, that it may end up bad for you? OK.

Who cares?? What about all the people who rape, steal, and murder and get away with it in this life? What happens to them? What about all those who don't care about this life, and what their actions do to others, or what the consequences are for themselves? How about the person who is suicidal and wants to kill children on the way out?

What about societies where theft and bribery are expected, and there are no negative consequences? Why is that "wrong" according to you?

So explain to me this: are God's commands just those things which are promote human flourishing and advancement? Are they those things that change from culture to culture, or are they objective and unchanging?

---

That's not what I said. I see very little reason to continue if you are just going to distort what I say.

People go to many places, heaven and hell are the extremes. In general people will get closer and closer to "hell" as long as they make those kinds of decisions. From there it's a matter of what it takes before they change. Or they can just choose to no longer exist, which is the death of the soul.

Also while ignorance is of no consequence to man, it is somewhat valid to God and when people are deceived it is those who deceive them that take the brunt. That is taken into account, and one day the truth will be revealed to all. There are 2 basic ways, to be of a good heart and to be of understanding.

And again, I told you how creation works. All things possible exist, your choices will determine your path. I gave you small examples to demonstrate the point.

I'm not exactly sure I follow. You talked about seemingly unrelated things, like invisible geometry and alternate possible universes. I would like you to get practical for a moment. What difference is there between Hitler and Mother Theresa after they die, based on what they did in this life?

---

There are 2 deaths. Just because you die here doesn't mean the journey and path is over. It can be, but it's not my place to judge.

Basically what is asked of you is to fix your mistakes. Your past is your past, what matters is what you will do next. If you have truly learned from your mistakes and have reached the point where you will no longer do them, then it is forgiven. Not to be confused with a blind eye, which is what most people ask for.

Why does a parent punish their child? To teach them. All you want is for them to not continue making the mistake.

I don't understand your analogy. There are basic laws of mathematics that you have to know and follow in order to tell people that 1+1=2. There is a standard to compare truth claims to in order to judge them as right or wrong. I can use laws of math to say that 1+1=3 is wrong, and I can use the standard of God's law to show that stealing is wrong, but you haven't really presented a standard for me (or anyone) to use to exercise understanding. There are basic truth claims and facts that must exist in order to understand something. You seem to be talking about exercising understanding without any facts or standards to judge by.

---

You know 1+1=2 because you understand the concept of 2 being more than 1. Because you have understanding you also know 1+3=4 and 105+3=108. Even if someone doesn't directly enumerate those equations for you, because you have understanding you know those are all true statements. You do not need someone to tell them to you. And you also know 1+3=10 is a false statement, and nobody can EVER convince you otherwise.

You don't go look into a book if I tell you 1000+100034 = 101,034. Nor does anyone need to create a book for you that says it. All you need is the understanding.

Knowledge of the holy is understanding, but all you do is quote the equations you've accepted as true from a book. Highlighted by the fact when I tell you God didn't tell me commandments to follow, only the understanding you claim I have none.
