Making those leaps of faith- Theists only - Page 3 - Religion, God, and Theology

It was in the thread title. Of course, you know this, since you seem to know what thread I'm talking about.

I guess I'll need you to explain your unwritten rules to me. It's okay to be a theist and post in an atheist only thread, but not vice versa, unless you say so.

I apologize though, I didn't realize calling you out on your hypocrisy was childish. I'll try to grow up now.

For atheists is not the same as atheists only. OP displayed no problem with theists posting in that thread. Please stop trolling this.

Gunth, go back to jerking off over GSP doing pushups.

I'm sure you know this, but there are a ridiculous number of theist forums out there where you could easily discuss something like this, in a much more in depth manner. There are perhaps 5 regular theists on this board.

How is it easy for me to ignore your threads? You're Gunth after all.

Seems natural that there would be Christians who subconsciously enjoy the abuse, right?

Whats some good ways to overcome this?

Gunth,

Remember the message of the mustard seed--"If you had faith the size of a mustard seed you'd be able to move mountains." It is not the size of your faith, or its strength, but it's the power of the object of your faith-Jesus Christ-which gives you strength. Try to focus on the power of the Lord Jesus Christ, the One who was raised from the dead and who "always lives to intercede for us", and you will find you can fulfill the good works God has prepared beforehand for you to walk in (Eph. 2:10).

Edited: You also need a solid, Bible-believing church with brothers to encourage you IMO.

I think Gunth needs a solid, blowjob-giving hooker with herpes to encourage him. Encourage him to do what you ask? Well, that's a completely different question.

That's his website and it gives some excerpts from the book and some explanation of his position on the question. I highly recommend the book and you can get a good idea of what it's about from the site.
