This thread went from a hanging curveball for scientology jokes to yet another religious debate. Too bad.

No it doesn't, you are supposed to test him.

So when the Devil met up with JC when he was fasting in the desert, and told him to jump off the top of a building if he was really the son of God because angels would come and save him, and Jesus said that it would be wrong to test God... ?

The result of science is an ever better series of approximations. The goal is and always has been absolute truth. This methodology has achieved absolute truth in a limited number of areas (see our scientific laws) but it is nowhere near defining absolute truth in every arena. Typically speaking, the rational methodology of science is just better and better guesses to the right answer.

Religious thought typically starts with the answer and works backward in most cases.

That is the chief difference IMO.

You silly satanist................

God tells us to test him.................... the simplest example is tithing.

Don't quite know how being a believer and Satan testing God is quite the same....

Malachi 3:10

Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

Right. And no one is saying certain parts of the Bible don't have some very usueful parts that have relevance to everyday life. Some of Paul's writings have great moral lessons. The Sermon on the Mount certainly isn't nonsense. The Beatitudes are a beautiful piece of literature. I can recognize that and not have to believe Jesus is my personal savior and I need to go to Church every Sunday.

Sounds like you have too much education for your own good---as in scientists that can't fit God in their mathematical equations. "Lean not in thine own understanding" is my scripture for you. Christ died for all men--accept or reject--at your own peril. The deathbed is somehow always the great reckoner.

Yeah, I knew I was setting myself up with that one. However, when you become too smart for God, you have a serious problem--even Einstein knew that, and I don't see any Einsteins in here. Blessed are the meek---applies.

The Einstein thing is a lie. Research it, he never claimed to believe in God.
