To use a study as proof, you really need to detail the experiment as well as the result, and how the two are connected, rather than simply telling us what the scientist said. Also, just because you see abortion as murder doesn't mean everyone else does; don't forget, not everyone in America is a Christian. Whereas I or you may be inclined to agree that from conception that baby is a human, there are lots of people who say otherwise. You can't use that as an argument. Also, for such a sheer number of assertions-I counted 5-you don't really make any convincing arguments to accompany them. It's fine to express your views and all, but in a debate forum, people expect to see real evidence. If you want, we can talk over PM and I can tell you some of the arguments I've used in the past, but this topic really isn't the place. So, with that said, just try to be a little more prudent when it comes to posting. |
That's the thing about trusting in Jesus Christ. You don't do it by evidence, you do it by faith. The Bible is evidence enough for me. You just have to trust in Him, and he'll save you. We are all sinners, and if you want to get to heaven, you have to trust in Jesus Christ and believe he will get us there. And I agree with Moth and Moyamoya in that God isn't a tyrant. He loves us very much. Enough to send his son to die for us by having nails put through his hands and feet on a piece of wood. Then, 3 days later he rose from the dead, and went back to heaven. God WANTS us to be with Him. If any of this doesn't make sense, let me know.
