Remember me? The user who gave you no shortage of trouble while I was on this site? If that isn't hint enough for you, my username was Proud2BeCatholic previously. We had a lot of fun insulting each other so I had to come back. Remember how you said I would fail boot camp? Well, here I am, a Private First Class in the Marine Corps. I made it. I am not Catholic anymore, so there wouldn't be much for us to debate, but maybe we can think of something. Let me know.

Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine
Transliteration: pistis
Phonetic Spelling: (pis'-tis)
Definition: faith, faithfulness
Usage: faith, belief, trust, confidence; fidelity, faithfulness.
4102 pístis (from 3982/peithô, "persuade, be persuaded") – properly, persuasion (be persuaded, come to trust); faith.
Faith (4102/pistis) is always a gift from God, and never something that can be produced by people. In short, 4102/pistis ("faith") for the believer is "God's divine persuasion" – and therefore distinct from human belief (confidence), yet involving it. The Lord continuously births faith in the yielded believer so they can know what He prefers, i.e. the persuasion of His will (1 Jn 5:4).
[4102 (pistis) in secular antiquity referred to a guarantee (warranty). In Scripture, faith is God's warranty, certifying that the revelation He inbirthed will come to pass (His way).
Faith (4102/pistis) is also used collectively – of all the times God has revealed (given the persuasion of) His will, which includes the full revelation of Scripture (Jude 3). Indeed, God the Lord guarantees that all of this revelation will come to pass! Compare Mt 5:18 with 2 Tim 3:16.]
Part of Speech: Noun, Neuter
Transliteration: ergon
Phonetic Spelling: (er'-gon)
Definition: work
Usage: work, task, employment; a deed, action; that which is wrought or made, a work.
2041 érgon (from ergō, "to work, accomplish") – a work or worker who accomplishes something. 2041 /érgon ("work") is a deed (action) that carries out (completes) an inner desire (intension, purpose).
from a prim. verb erdó (to do)
Definition
work
NASB Translation
action (1), behavior (1), deed (13), deeds (52), doing (1), effectual (1), labor (1), result (1), task (1), what...done (1), work (34), works (62).

Someone says, "Mary is the mother of Jesus, and should be the focus of our worship." Someone else says, "No, Jesus is the son of God, and should be the focus of worship." Still another says, "You're both wrong. Buddha is where it's at." And then along comes others who say that their holy text proves that God favors their kind more than he favors the rest.
Before you know it, each person is building a shrine to their favorite version of savior. And the next thing you know, even the ones who agree on just who is top dog in the realm of saviors will begin to disagree with each other as to the meaning of the words of the text they’ve all chosen to embrace. Soon after, they choose up sides and the new side begins work on yet another building to serve as a shrine to their particular interpretation of the words of the popular text.
So, after you convince the masses that there's something greater than themselves that they need to pay homage to--someone or something they owe a debt to--there's no way to stop them from choosing sides.
And the other guy says, “Yeah, well I was thinking the same thing about your interpretation.”
So the first guy says, “Well, there’s nothing stopping you from going over there and building your own monument to what you think he meant”
And the second guy says, “I think I will.”
And the first guy says, “I hope you do.”
And the second guy says, “I’ll pray that one day you come to see the light.”
And the first guy says, “Yeah, and I’ll do the same for you.”

That is an irrefutable statement.
If your mind is not creating the faith, then it is God doing it and he, as scriptures say, decides who he will give it too. You have no free choice in the matter.
Trust the bible quotes in the following. It shows how evil Yahweh is.
Are non-believers doomed by Divine Design?
Scriptures say that God decides if a person will be a believer or non-believer. Those scriptures are shown in this link.
Those quotes seem to really screw up the free will notion that Christians say God gives us.
The free will that God offers is kind of a joke anyway given the number of people whose free will to live is ignored in the billions of adults, children and babies that God is shown to torture and murder in scriptures.
If the bible and Yahweh are to be believed, and as a non-believer, I, of course, cannot believe it, thanks to God, by God’s design and will against me, then why did God deny me belief or faith?
Even more important to believers, might be to answer the question of; did God make you a believer in things that you can only hope exists and can never confirm?
Are you happy with God ignoring or negating your free will to think as you please?
I have assumed that God’s work of creating both believers and non-believers is working. If that is so, and you believers must think it so, just as I as a non-believer cannot think it is working, --- and Jesus said that those with faith could do all he did and more, --- then there is not even one believer or person of faith that has ever existed.
Either the bible and Christianity is all a lie, or there must be some who can do what Jesus did.
What is your choice of those two options?
Is the bible and Christianity a lie, or is God just not creating any people with faith, --- which would make all Christians who say they have faith, --- liars.
I mean no insult here but someone is definitely lying, if we read what is written and look at reality and listen to Christians.
What do you think is the truth?
Is it just for God to create people doomed to hell even if they wanted to believe?

Do you have a definition on that?
Divine is an adjective and is a quality that one gives to someone. It cannot legitimately by assigned to ones self.
Divine is a subjective quality and can be quite different to two readers of the same information.
I E. Christians read the bible and end with a good Yahweh while gnostic Christians read the same book and see an evil Yahweh.
If you see a good Yahweh, and not a vile demiurge, you are reading the bible the wrong way.

I did not see 'gish gallop' in @GnosticChristian's comments. Almost everything that gives christians problems in debating their god is what I saw. If it truly were gish gallop then pick what you believe is the weakest point and debunk it.

Well this is where I can help here. I used to have an open topic that was uber popular called the Barnardot Help Desk and I'm thinking of openining it up again owing to popular demand.
What it is in your case is that your lack of IQ is due to what scientists have discovered. Its due to a pacific gene called vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2). There are heaps of confirmed medical papers on it which you can google and confirm that people who gravitate to wierd things such as religion and other spiritual thins are actually born with this gene. And they have found that all of these people have lower IQs than normal people. They actually give a Nick name to this gene. The God gene. So what stands out with all these studies is that religious people have to ignore a hole heap of things about the real world such as science and have to ignore a hole heap of real good novels like Harry Potter and there not allowed to watch things on TV like the Good Guy.
Then theres all the other stuff they have to keep a way from. So in the end they miss out on education and there IQ suffers in the end.
So I leave it to you to make the right life choice on this matter.

Thanks for showing your ignorant and childish attitude.
Just in case you are not all total bull , try doing some kind of apologetics for what follows. All immoral Christians run from me and it shows why.
On Jesus dying for Christians, from a moral perspective.
It takes quite an imagination and ego to think a god would actually die for us, after condemning us unjustly in the first place.
Christians have swallowed a lie and don’t care how evil they make Jesus to keep their feel good get out of hell free card.
It is a lie, first and foremost, because, like it or not, having another innocent person suffer or die for the wrongs you have done, --- so that you might escape responsibility for having done them, --- is immoral.
To abdicate your personal responsibility for your actions or use a scapegoat is immoral.
Christians also have to ignore what Jesus, as a Jewish Rabbi, would have taught his people.
Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Deuteronomy 24:16 (ESV) "Fathers shall not be put to death because of their children, nor shall children be put to death because of their fathers. Each one shall be put to death for his own sin.
Psa 49;7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
There is no way that Christians parents would teach their children to use a scapegoat.
Good morals and Jesus speak against the messianic concept and bids us pick up our crosses and follow him.

Factfinder, the RUNAWAY Atheist Bible fool,
YOUR PATHETIC QUOTE RELATIVE TO "YOUR PERSONNA" TOWARDS RICKEYHOLTSCLAW!: "And yet you can't discredit :Christians have swallowed a lie and don’t care how evil they make Jesus to keep their feel good get out of hell free card."
You are disparaging RickeyHoltsclaw when your modus operandi within this forum is now known as you being a RUNAWAY from the true words of Jesus I have easily shown you where you have to be a JEW to follow Jesus the Christ? I can't count the many posts of mine that you RAN AWAY from in me proving beyond any doubt that YOU WERE TOTALLY A BIBLE FOOL in front of the membership as we laugh at your embarrassing expense!
Barring my response FACTS above to your quote, remember when I said I would biblically CORRECT you at your embarrassing expense in front of the membership relative to your BIBLE STUPIDITY? Yes? Therefore, addressing your unbiblical QUOTE to RickyHoltsclaw is the following:
HEADS UP BIBLE FOOL FACTFINDER; Jesus as God did NOT have to be made evil by pseudo-christians because of the biblical axioms within the Bible showed this EVIL modus operandi of Jesus without question as shown in a few of many passages within the JUDEO-Christian Bible listed below, understood BIBLE FOOL?
1. The bible God Jesus slays the fruit of the womb of the women in Ephraim, which equals abortion. (Hosea 9:11-16)
2. God’s inspired word allows a brutal and abusive ritual to be performed on a wife that is “suspected” of adultery, which equals an induced abortion and the killing of innocent life of the fetus. (Numbers 5:11-21)
3. Jesus as God orders the killing of women that have been with men, which equals aborting of fetus’ of pregnant women. (Numbers 31:17)
4. Jesus as God promises to dash to pieces the infants of Samaria and the “their women with child shall be ripped up”. Once again the HEBREW God kills the unborn, including their pregnant mothers, which equals ABORTION. (Hosea 13:16)
5. The HEBREW God allows the pregnant women of Tappuah to be “ripped open”. Hardly a pro-life stance, and allows pregnant women to be murdered, yet some ignorant Christians still claim abortion is wrong? (2 Kings 15:16)
6. Jesus as God commands the death of helpless “suckling” infants. This literally means that the children Jesus as God killed were still nursing!!! (1 Samuel 15:3)
7. Here Jesus as God commands that infants should be “dashed upon the rocks.” (Psalms 137:9) Ever wonder in what that would sound like, maybe a watermelon being thrown hard upon a large rock?
LISTEN UP BIBLE FACTFINDER: Jesus as God determines who will swim in the sulfur lakes of Hell upon His JEWISH CREATION'S demise, AND NOT pseudo-christians like you mistakingly proffer with an alleged "get out of hell free card," you BIBLE !
The verses below without question show who will be thrown into HELL without a "get out of hell free card" like you stated, BIBLE FOOL!:
1. JESUS' INSPIRED WORDS STATE: “But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)
2. "But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars - their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death" (Revelation 21:8)
3. “Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,” (1 Corinthians 6:9)
4. JESUS STATED: “My friends, don’t be afraid of people. They can kill you, but after that, there is nothing else they can do. God is the one you must fear. Not only can he take your life, but he can throw you into hell. God is certainly the one you should fear!” (Luke 12:4-5)
Now, to save you from further embarrassment in the future, copy and paste the above BIBLICAL AXIOMS for your further use in making you look smarter than you actually are relative to biblical verses that you didn't even know existed in the first place because of your wrongful Bible ignorant quote that you made to RickeyHoltsclaw! Priceless Bible Stupidity on your part, wipe the egg from your face AGAIN!
NEXT BIBLE DUMBFOUNDED ATHEIST LIKE "FACTFINDER" THAT IS WHO HE PRETENDS TO BE, AS AN ASSUMED BIBLE SCHOLAR OF WHICH HE IS BLATANTLY NOT AS EASILY SHOWN IN THE PAST, AND NOW, WILL BE ...?

“Those who were not my people I will call ‘my people,’
and her who was not beloved I will call ‘beloved.’”
26 “And in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’
there they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’”
27 And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the sons of Israel[c] be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will be saved, 28 for the Lord will carry out his sentence upon the earth fully and without delay.” 29 And as Isaiah predicted,
“If the Lord of hosts had not left us offspring,
we would have been like Sodom
and become like Gomorrah.” Romans 9 (ESV)
______________________________________
Acts 15, The Jerusalem Council (ESV)
6 The apostles and the elders were gathered together to consider this matter. 7 And after there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. 8 And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them, by giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us, 9 and he made no distinction between us and them, having cleansed their hearts by faith. 10 Now, therefore, why are you putting God to the test by placing a yoke on the neck of the disciples that neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? 11 But we believe that we will be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they will.”
12 And all the assembly fell silent, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul as they related what signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles. 13 After they finished speaking, James replied, “Brothers, listen to me. 14 Simeon has related how God first visited the Gentiles, to take from them a people for his name. 15 And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written,
16 “‘After this I will return,
and I will rebuild the tent of David that has fallen;
I will rebuild its ruins,
and I will restore it,
17 that the remnant of mankind may seek the Lord,
and all the Gentiles who are called by my name,
says the Lord, who makes these things 18 known from of old.’
19 Therefore my judgment is that we should not trouble those of the Gentiles who turn to God, 20 but should write to them to abstain from the things polluted by idols, and from sexual immorality, and from what has been strangled, and from blood. 21 For from ancient generations Moses has had in every city those who proclaim him, for he is read every Sabbath in the synagogues.”
__________________________________________
Romans 9,
So the point of the paragraph is that God creates his people by calling "not from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles." In both cases it is a surprise. The Jews thought they were all included because they were Jews, and the Gentiles thought they were not included because they were Gentiles. God is gathering a redeemed people in a way that will stop the mouth of all presumption and will give hope to the most despairing.
