nor do I have any recollection of saying I was trying to convinced you of anything.
Still thanks for sharing.
Are you calling me a liar? If not can you explain this statement?
Well, people claim a lot of things - doesn't mean any of it is true, accurate or real.JoeyKnothead wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 2:33 amLomfpocJehovahsWitness wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 1:11 amBecause it would be selfish of me not to promoted the TRUTH.
You claim to promote TRUTH(tm), yet you're utterly incapable of showing you speak it in this matter.
Ain't that kinda what some call "Lying for Jesus"?
It just seems odd to me that one'd enter a debate to present claims they knowingly and admittedly can't show to be truth.JehovahsWitness wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 7:18 amAre you calling me a liar? If not can you explain this statement?

A claim and a belief are not the same thing. Did I not say the following ....?JoeyKnothead wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 10:41 am
What I can say with confidence though, is that so many of your claims / beliefs can't be shown to be truth.
NOTE I make no claims here, I am simply expressing what I believe based on the bible. Please take all sentences to be preceeded by the premise "I believe ..."
Why? Can one not believe one knows the truth?JoeyKnothead wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 10:41 am
It may leave one to ponder if your oft mentioned declarations that you're just expressing your opinion / beliefs might conflict with this declaration of promoting truth.
Meh. As relates to debate I think they're similar enough.JehovahsWitness wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 11:13 amA claim and a belief are not the same thing.

To which I say that's confused by your statement of "promoting truth".NOTE I make no claims here, I am simply expressing what I believe based on the bible. Please take all sentences to be preceeded by the premise "I believe ..."
If course. When one can't show they speak truth, that's kinda all they're left with.All I have done is express my beliefs/ opinions.
I merely noted that folks might become confused about your "promoting the truth", and your "it's just my belief".Why?

No I dont think anybody will, since I repeat it and put it in bold and and colour in near enough every post. It look like this ...JoeyKnothead wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 11:31 am

So then, your goal is to promote the truth, by expressing beliefs ya can't show are.JehovahsWitness wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 11:40 amNo I dont think anybody will, since I repeat it and put it in bold and and colour in near enough every post.

So I cannot imagine anyone that is not both illiterate and colourblind would be confused about what I am sayingNOTE I make no claims here, I am simply expressing what I believe based on the bible. Please take all sentences to be preceeded by the premise "I believe ..."
I am not here to debate your imagination nor discuss my motives. If there is something confusing in my POSTS I am happy to consider clarifying but any frustration that raise from the fact that I generally avoiding making claims in this subforum, especially when asked about the unknown, is not my concern.

Now, the thing is, that is rhetoric you can not show is true. You say that 'Truth will set you free', but what you have not been able to show is that your claims about God are Truth. You have not shown that the bible is true.JehovahsWitness wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 1:11 amBecause it would be selfish of me not to promoted the TRUTH.
