Rolling Eyes What is gained in having an argument? Pleasure?

laurence82 SG

Go read Chin Eng's post on critical thinking in the thread about sins.

Laughing

askxyz SG

Lao Jiao should provide links... Laughing Twisted Evil

All in all, having an argument here is to show off how critical one's thinking is? So what if I have critical thinking? So what if I don't have?

laurence82 SG

Who said anything about showing off?

Sure, dont aply critical thinking, just slap everything on the table and expect everyone to swallow it? Laughing

M©+square SG

That's when you're wrong.
It's not about Showing off unless the discussion comes to a point of merely wanting to win in the debate.

Thru challenging and handling a arguement. You then will understand how much of your knowledge are sound.
A believer can continue in his naive belief towards Christianity
or he can get real and know where he stands in Scripture, doctrine and faith.

That's my opinion of a debate.

askxyz SG

Don't know leh. Seems like there are leh... Laughing Maybe I'm wrong ba?

Christians who apply critical thinking don't roam around in EH? Maybe some christian forumers don't want to waste time here? Or some don't be bother?

M©+square SG

there are many christians in here.

Some are busy with their life
Some can't be bothered about the business of God.
Some are tired of arguing.
Some stopped 'playing' such things
Some busy doing the business of God.

Different la.

laurence82 SG

Then go where? Apocalypse forum? Laughing

Sure

askxyz SG

Ya, I agree. Very Happy And the list goes on...

askxyz SG

Serious seekers should have a talk with bible scholars or professors at theological college lo. Wink

laurence82 SG

Good, hopefully the bible scholars apply critical thinking in their works and be responsible in their research

Personally, before I accepted Christ, there were people whom I did not know of, prayed for my salvation. Something to share about...

My grandma who's a unbeliever, had passed away this year. The night before, I was praying for God's miracle to work in her life. As her condition was unable to understand what the gospel is. Despite all these, I prayed for God's mercy and salvation plan upon her.

What seems like a fact to me, is not the way I live my life. Putting first who God is, believe and trust His Almighty ways for all things are made possible through His Son Jesus Christ.

Press on to pray, His works are miraculous.

God is the harmony of all the Forms and Names that man gives Him. Only those who are ignorant of God's glory will insist on one Name and one Form for His adoration and, what is worse, condemn the use of other Names and Forms. Be warned against such silly obduracy. Do not go about proclaiming that you belong to a separate sect and are distinct from those who adore God in other Forms and Names; thereby you are limiting the very God whom you are extolling.

Hmm........ Very Happy

laurence82 SG

shady, not me want to say u...but can see its out of point lor

Confused

askxyz SG

I know having discussion not to show off but I see some people simply having "fun" in it here... Maybe I'm wrong.

I agree that through testing each other knowledge will we continue to learn from each other.

Sometimes, we may not need to get to a point of having all sort of debates here. I thought Jesus told us we should be like little children and humble ourselves. I think as long as we have put our messages across, no point to have a lengthy arguments and debates which only ended up wasting each other time.

My opinion.

laoda99 SG

You should know the discussion here usually comes to a point of merely wanting to win in the debate. I believe some unbelievers who come here to take "pot shots" at Christians simply have an axe to grind with Christians.

Many unbelievers thought all Christians are naive and do not have sound knowledge about Christianity. They are wrong.

One may have all the knowledge about the faith, but if he use it simply to attack Christians just to show that he is knowledgeable and Christians are naive, what difference are they from the "Christians" they accused of arrogance? Everyone can use scripture for their own ends, even Satan.

One may win an argument here, but it isn't going to get him saved. Only Christ can redeem us, not faithless knowledge.

laoda99 SG

I agree with u. Some are just simply having "fun" here. They are not interested in testing knowledge, just want to destroy the faith of Christians or cause confusion.

And I especially detest those who just want to have "fun" here, including some backsliders and troublemakers who dun even dare to say what their faith is. I do not think people can be trusted.
