My post to 'hatter, which you quoted, stated "Knowing more about religion has little to do with the Christian Faith. If you had actually read the Bible and comprehended what you read, you would have already known that, which you obviously did not." This means that religion as we practice it often only reflects limited Biblical connections to the Christian Faith. Certain religious traditions do however....Holy Communion and the Lord's Prayer are two that come to mind.

Originally posted by Maddhattter View PostHe could, it would just be silly. I would hope that he is mocked for asking something that he does not believe in for anything. Unless it's being done in an ironic or otherwise humorous manner. Then he should just be laughed at. I could, however forgive him without him ever asking me for it.
Forgiveness doesn't require a request.

I can understand why you might rely on poll results however, given that they can be easily picked and chose from those google searches you rely on.

Originally posted by Maddhattter View PostNope. I maintained context, and even explained how the context applies. Anyone could look the chapter up and read, hopefully, the whole thing. I did not just assert I was correct, then, effectively, ask for popular opinion, unlike you.
Originally posted by MaddhatterPoll results have consistently shown that people who do not believe know more about religion than believers do. This is evidences that the bible does not advance faith when actually read.
Anything can advance any faith, as faith is belief without evidence. No consistency is required with faith. That's why I rely on actual evidence, it's demonstrably more reliable.

Originally posted by The King View PostYou would, however, and did clip a single verse out of said chapter in the manner to which you refer. Might we say you are being somewhat hypocritical then?
Originally posted by The KingAgreed, I would encourage everyone to read the whole Bible. From my experience it has been and remains the best tool for advancing the Christian Faith.

Felt I should be more fair.
