To distinguish... | by Naruki | 2004-07-12 10:23:09 |

And I think your characterization is wrong. | by Ravenlock | 2004-07-12 10:50:50 |

Can anyone claim to speak for what | by Naruki | 2004-07-12 11:57:33 |

Attempt at answers. | by Ravenlock | 2004-07-12 12:11:38 |

Well... | by Naruki | 2004-07-12 12:44:03 |

Not "haven't thought about it." "Don't know." | by Ravenlock | 2004-07-12 12:58:00 |

without any problem. ;-)
I'm not saying that for me, one rule applies, while another applies for others. I am saying as clearly as I can that I do not know the "rules." I choose to act a certain way - to follow the teachings of Christ as I read them - because (1) I was raised in the protestant faith and (2) it seems to me to be a good way to guide my own actions. It is, in that sense, a "rule" only in that I have applied it to myself. As someone trying to follow Christ, I call myself a Christian.
I do not automatically believe that those who label themselves differently than I - by sect or by religion - are "wrong." Clearly, though, I do not know one way or the other - no still-living human does. Many Christians would label me false for this statement, and they are free to do so. They do not know, any more than I do. ;-)
Where do you find inconsistency there? Or, for that matter - as I stated my beliefs concerning my choices in the next to last para of the previous post - a lack of free will as you define it? |

Nobody *knows* the rules. So what? | by Naruki | 2004-07-12 14:14:37 |
|
Why? | by Ravenlock | 2004-07-12 14:27:49 |
|
The "He" for God is arbitrary, by the way. | by Ravenlock | 2004-07-12 14:29:44 |

Maybe it's a canine gender. | by Naruki | 2004-07-12 14:35:45 |

:-p (n/t) | by Ravenlock | 2004-07-12 14:55:26 |
|
Ah... | by Naruki | 2004-07-12 14:35:08 |
|
Sorry I didn't make it more clear. | by Ravenlock | 2004-07-12 14:55:03 |
|
It's not inconsistent... | by Naruki | 2004-07-12 14:58:19 |
|
You haven't stated... | by Ravenlock | 2004-07-12 15:03:09 |

Didn't want to be redundant. | by Naruki | 2004-07-12 15:23:58 |
|
Fair enough. :-p | by Ravenlock | 2004-07-12 15:28:51 |
|
And you're probably right. | by Ravenlock | 2004-07-12 15:29:40 |
|
Actually, one more clarification... | by Ravenlock | 2004-07-12 15:39:33 |
