[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] There is more than one atheist on the DCUM religion forum. Some of us were once fundamentalist Christians[/quote]

You prove that the Bible speaks true:

1 John 2:19

[i]They went out from us, but [b]they were not of us[/b]; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.[/i][/quote]

This could be people of other religions or from other places, especially when that Bible verse was written, long, long ago.

It doesn't prove anything about the Bible.[/quote]No, this verse is specifically speaking about people who were part of the church and claimed to be Christians but fell away from the faith, proving what Jesus said to be true in his parable in Matthew 13:6

[i] And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.[/i]

All Christians can allow some other authority and desire to usurp Jesus.

1 Corinthians 9:27

[i]But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
[/i]

Hebrews 6:4 has more on this.

[i]For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened…and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost…If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.[/i]

You think people thousands of years ago weren't smart enough to know that people would come to realize it was all made up BS and not want to write something to try to control them through fear? You're meaningless passages still provide zero proof that any of it is true. [/quote]And [b]you prove the Bible is true yet again:[/b]

1 Corinthians 2:14

[i]But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: [b] for they are foolishness unto him[/b]: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.[/i]

I am not a Christian out of fear but of love for God. I see the wonderful world God made which could not be by accident. The Bible best explains the evidence I see around me. What Jesus said rings true:

[i]Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.[/i]—John 14:6

Ding! Ding! Ding!  Jesus speaks the truth. Hear ye him.

PP’s comment doesn’t “prove the Bible is true”.  :lol:

Are you a troll trying to make believers look dumb AF or what?

I suspect pp is not "trying to make believers look dumb AF" but is nontheless succeeding.[/quote]
