You make a sweeping statement about Kennedy denying the fall of mankind in Eden - and then don't back it up with any data IN RESPONSE to my complaint that your falt-finding with kennedy is not actually using "data".
You then ALSO state that his historic sources that SHOW Hitler basing his racist military machine on the doctrine of evolutionism carefully taught to his armies - is correct. But you just "want" to turn a blind eye to it??
You are not making sense OR using data!
Once again, whay are you talking about? Why are you making such an issue about "data". I said I wasn't disputing what he said, only his conspiratorial attitude and blaming of everything on atheism only. Why do I need data when I am not even claiming abuthing contrary to what he said?
Does Kennedy get the blame for what Chick prints now???!!
I wasn'y blaming him for Chick, only pointing out that others have a different perspective of Naziism, and tend to put ALL the blame on whichever movement they are most against. Again, you have to twist around everyothign someone says.
"Probably had some influence" is a non-specific come-back in support of your refusal to even listen to the historic sources -- well known authors that Kennedy is referencing and that you admit as being correct.
"Listen to historic sources". What do you want me to do to show that I "listen" to them? I must believe that those evil atheists caused the entire Bazi movement and the Holocaust singlehandedly, while the Christian establishments prevalent on the cultre was completely innocent?
HOW do you get a "master race" Without racisim. Hitler's own well published system of eugenics was based on evolutionism?
You can also get racism from misreading the Bible, such as Canaan being curse, Japheth enlarged, and the Jews supposedly cursed from rejecting Jesus. That was believed inthe Church long before Darwinism came around, and obviously figured in the Catholic and Lutheran culture of Germany in addition to Darwinism which was still relatively new at the time (not even 100 years old).
You don't seem to want to refute this - you just want to "ignore it".
What has convinced you that "atheism can not have such bad consequences"???
Certianly something you enjoy bashing about as much as you seem to enjoy bashing Kennedy and telling us how little real damage the atheist evolutionist doctrines did in Nazi Germany.
This seems to be a "pattern" with you.
What's up?
In Christ,
Bob
I never said that it couldn't have such consequences, or that it did any damage. I only said it was wrong to place all the blame on it when faulty interpretation sof the Bible went even before it in establishing some of the beliefs.
Wake up Eric instead of just randomly complaining.
YOU are the one that claimed that the Sabbath keeping groups were not old enough - SDB is older than SDA and were much larger at the time they introduced Adventests to Christ the Creator's memorial of creation.
Why don't you wake up? I said nothing about "OLDER". You just make up every thing here, just so you can have a silly excuse to go into attack and accuse mode. It may have been bigger than the SDA at that time, but it was certainly not "mainstream", which was my point.
So far - this thread is exposing the inroads of atheist darwinism as it affects the doctrines of the Christian churches that it invades as SEEN here already on this thread!
Your contribution to this point has been to just bash D. James Kennedy -- as if that "Was a good thing".
Not that it was a good thing, but that when we respond with ridiculous conspiracy theories and place all blame on one side and ignore the sins of organized religion, that is worse.
I get tired of hearing from some of these preachers how perfect "Christian America" or "Christian Western Civilization" was until the Darwinists, Marxists, etc ruined it all. What about the African slavery and racism that started in Western Europe, and was so prevalent in the US and continued until racism, by the same people upholding the Bible, and blaming Darwinism for everything while ignoring their errors? Don't you find it hard to believe that one side would be all bad, and US be all good? Since many of these people believe the SDA is an aberrant "cult", some might throw you in there too.
I on the other hand point out that I am not a Presbyterian but I can certainly admit to the historic points of truth that Kennedy brings out without having to bash him because "He is not an SDA".
Why don't you come around on this one?
I'm not bashing him because of what he is or isn't, but because he mixed half-truths and biased conspiratorialism into his "historic points".
I wouldn't have thought that a thread highlighting the dangers of atheist darwinism that is COMPLETE with the bogus posts (proven to be totally factless so far) from devotees to atheist darwinism ON THIS THREAD -- would find you -- only bashing those that expose the dangers of atheist darwinism WHILE CLAIMING (as you did with the Calvinist thread) that you are not a devotee to that false religion.
My point is that your "contribution" seems dubious at best.
There is a "brand" of Calvinism (4 and 5 pointers primarily) that teach the Jonathan Edwards flavor of "Joy in seeing the torment of the wicked". I posted a scenario pointing out that they are doing this EVEN when the context is seeing their own loved ones in torment.
I then contrasted that with the SAME Scenario for Arminians who would see THEIR loved ones being tormented -- but in the Arminian system "God so LOVED THE WORLD" yes really.
Calvinist whined at the sharp contrast that was revealed when both Arminian and Calvinist models were placed side by side.
You whined about that too - on this board.
Funny - huh?!!
When it comes to what you claim to oppose - you complain when that flaw is being detailed.
"

er and confuseder said Alice".
Yeah, confused is you, because tou don;t even know what you're talking about. You're all over the place, bringing up completely OT old debates that have nothing to do with this.
You did the same thing over there that you always did, and what Kennedy does sometimes, and use poor argumentation tactics that hurt your case (though you don't see it, because you think repeating the same thing over and over and making insults proves your case).
You want to ttry to argue with Calvinists with an emotive argument on someone seeing their child go to Hell, they you knock yourself out. You were apparently so unaware of the claims the Calvinists made about us: that we only used emotive arguments and not scripture, you didn't realize that you were actually
helping their case!
You yourself just said above about sone who have "joy at the torment of the wicked". If they have joy at the torment of the wicked, then
how do you think you can persuade them with a scenario of a child perishing in Hell? That's good, according to them, and goes perfectly with their argument that it is God's right to do that!
Why is this simple concept so hard for you to get Eric. I keep pointing out that Kennedy is NOT an SDA and I could certainly find plenty of ground to whine and gripe about him were I to take your path.
INSTEAD I am honest and objective and very happy to highlight points where he is bringing truth to light.
You seem to be stuck whining about everyone!
Why drag that in here?
I'm raising a concern about this person being used as an authority on the issue, and I have the right to do that. Why is that "whining"? Any more than all your incessant complaining about Darwinism.
Don't you have anythign better to do than start silly arguments and accuse and miscontrue people and their statements?
