Glenn (OWD) Refuses to Spread the Gospel! |
On Thu, 09 Nov 2006 15:39:42 -0800, while bungee jumping,
oldwetdog <g.aedhealic@yahoo.com> shouted thusly:

I accept truth, such as it is within our ability to determine.
This statement is a rejection of Truth: since Truth by this
definition is based on your determination. If you can not
smell God, He is not, and you reject Him.
That's not what he said. He didn't necessarily limit it
to the five senses.
So let me ask you.... Why do *you* believe in God,
if you cannot determine that He exists? Did you just
decide one day, "Hey, this would be cool, lemme do this!" ?
Or, did someone give you a reason? Hello???
I thought you might venture some wisdom here
regarding how we can distinguish truth from delusion,
but you seem reluctant to elaborate. Why is that?
You do not comprehend Truth.
Maybe he doesn't. But isn't it your job to show him the way?
So why do you refuse to and insult him instead? Maybe at
some point, he'll turn on you and insult you for no reason
and at that point you can "kick the dust off of your heels",
but right now, you're the one insulting him without cause.
Any attempt to discuss Truth with someone who rejects
Truth is an act of futility -- it is throwing pearls to swine.
That is a stupid conclusion! By your logic, the Gospel should
not have ever been preached! After all, before it was, Jesus
could have said the same thing!
You cannot determine if it is "throwing pearls before swine",
until the other person rejects the Gospel and he has not
done that yet. Shame on you!
