Was the Copenhagen Global Warming Summit Walk-Out a Win for the U.S.?


If liberals have use for Jesus it is because of a distorted view of His compassion, which they perceive to be softness, and an obliviousness to His strength - which they now view as hateful.

Yet it need not be this way, for if the Son of God can endure temptation, be nailed to a cross, have his bones crushed and broken, be buried for three days -and still rise again, then truly is their any burden to heavy for Him to help you face?

Jesus Christ rose from the dead, fully God, fully righteous, and still wholly in control.

We are called to obey the voice of His Holy Spirit, believe in Him, and be given a new life. As we do - it will impact how we think, the actions we commit to, and the behaviors we engage in. These changes threaten the belief system of liberals who are steadfastly committed to the muck and the mire they now live in. Sin and selfishness often cause blindness.

Liberals like to embrace a compassionate but dead Jesus, they also revile the holy and risen Christ. Both of which are unfortunate.

For in trusting the risen Savior, you can know that His sovereignty is your safety net, His instruction is for your benefit, and His guidance is your gift of grace.

"Richie Boy"

Cute. Your best argument?


""If truth is subjective, what can we make of your assertion?"

That it is an accurate formulation of the relative nature of truth."

If truth is relative, any such statement is self-contradictory.

""Why make any assertions at all? Why are you here arguing if it's all subjective?"

Because I believe it is important to help the self righteous come to a higher level of understanding,..."

Ad hominem? But, anyway, if truth is relative, even name-calling fails.

""Only a fool would play a rigged game. I LOVE it when know-it-all's come here to argue that you can't objectively know anything."

That one can't objectively know anything, or at least that objective knowledge is not as easy to obtain as one might think, is a very legitimate philosophical proposition. Not grasping that reveals a limited understanding of philosophy."

Any philosopher who asserts that is also making a self-contradictory statement. Try getting metaphysical with gravity.


Re: Muslims and Christians: "Well, one might be. Neither might be. Both might be."

Impossible for both to be right because they contradict on the dates of the lives of historical persons, and other things. Now, if you believe in re-incarnation.

"If there is a higher truth that encompasses both (or all), then understanding it has to come from confronting cognitive dissonance."

Pure sophistry. (Don't get upset, Jack - that's only a relative opinion.)

"In short, I am just trying to help."

Why? In the end, with your position, it doesn't matter. You're just having "fun".

"Rich D
Awwww - so when you can't answer a simple question, you just call people names, eh?

Wussa matter - did I make your wip [sic] quiver when I called Jesus a Zombie???"

You asked me to defend a statement that I didn't make. Are you really that slow?

"Yeah, you are claiming that a human being rose from the dead and that it's a [sic] "historical fact" -be man enough to back it up or don't bother posting."

It has been answered already, and you just don't accept the answer. The people who wrote that history were eyewitnesses.

"And please spare us the lame attempts at humor - you're a witless bore (then again, you are a KM fan -so I shouldn't expect much from you)>"

Ad hominem? (Name-calling for those in Rio Linda.) The humor must have struck home. Nobody forced you to read it.

"As far as "beating my wife", I'm gay - but I'de be happy to b*tch slap yours for being desperate enough to marry you."

[Intelligence Alert: Rio Linda explanation follows. Most of you really don't need this.]

You really are slow at this. The question I asked you was in exactly the same category as the one that you asked me. There is no good answer to it, and the only option is to ignore it. It's also a famous question frequently used in pointing up an argumentative fallacy, and has no personal reference to the receiver. The fact that you, Allen, don't seem to know this and took it personally tells me that you are playing in the wrong ballpark.

For the record, here is your question:

"Would you like to explain how it is a historical "fact" that Jesus Christ rose from a bloody death and became a zombie?""

Point one: I never used the word "zombie" - this is name-calling by you, hypocrite.

Point two: You are most disingenuous in using quotes around "fact". That tells me you aren't serious, i.e., lying again.

Point three: You asked me a question that you already knew the answer to just to yank chains. More dishonesty. Any serious person would do enough personal study first before exposing such ignorance in public.

Point four: My question was exactly the same as yours - no matter how you answer it (yes or no), you admit to something you don't want to, and also never claimed. No matter how I answer yours, I tacitly admit that Jesus is/was a "zombie", whatever the heck that is, even though I never said it. More lying, hypocrisy, and name-calling from you.

Point five: The fact that you have to announce your sexual preference shows oversensitivity, insecurity, and an inability to focus on the point. You could have just as well retorted, "Well, my shirt is green, so I win all debates today." Do you really define yourself by a propensity to buggery?

Point six: You're not "gay"; you're obviously unhappy and angry - at least in most of your posts. You folks really need a more descriptive term.

Point seven: You admit to losing the argument when you resort to threatening violence against an uninvolved person. That's real intelligence and manhood. Why, how brave of you to threaten a woman! Is that what being "man enough" means to you? I'll pass on your challenge. I hope that you are kinder to whoever's around you.

Point eight: You have to resort to insulting a third party (my wife) to deflect the debate from the issue - now that is a true mark of a dunce.

Dunce indeedy :)

You said it.
