Your ongoing problem here is that you have absolutely no clue what you're talking about.
In your opinion, anyway. And in SteveB's world, SteveB's opinion is "the truth"!
According to Jeremiah, and 1 & 2 Corinthians, we who boast.... we boast in the cross of Jesus.
I am going to take a wild guess here and say that the authors of those works have never met you.
Yeah, I find that ironically hilarious. You've been quite malicious towards God, the bible and people who believe him.
You mean I disagree with you.
This is a forum where we discuss if Christianity is true. I take the position that it is not. Therefore, when I post here my posts are arguing against Christianity.
If you find that situation "
ironically hilarious" that would be because you have missed the point of the forum.
Bingo.
Anyone who doesn't agree with you, and you think is inferior to you.... you despise.
Setting yourself up as superior to them.
No, Steve, that is not true.
I certainly think myself superior to anyone claiming to have a college education in physics, but who still cannot admit he was wrong to say positrons bounce off electrons.
"This results in a few limitations on the brain, kidneys, bladder (they make us go to the bathroom before we get on the table), and the mouth.
The positrons bounce off the electrons in the body's cells and while there are many non-coincidental collisions, only the 180° ones are counted."

Anyone posting that nonsense - sure I feel superior to him! But not to most people I disagree with.
It just feels that way to
you because I feel superior to
you, and that is all that matters in your world.
Bingo.
Anyone who doesn't agree with you, and you think is inferior to you.... you despise.
Setting yourself up as superior to them.
And yet I have NEVER told anyone I disagree with that they will suffer because they disagree with me,
"You're doing this so you can send yourself to an eternity of misery and agony and anguish for absolutely no other reason than you are deliberately choosing to."
Maybe you need to look in the mirror? Oh, right, you are so arrogantly certain you are right that you excuse your threats as "the truth".
Then repent and believe the gospel.
Why would I do that if I do not think it is true?
You assume it is true. You present it as fact. But that is just your arrogance speaking. It is just your opinion, supported by nothing more than the assumption it is true.
There's only one thing that matters here.... my state before God in Christ.
What matters more than that is whether Christianity is true. If not, this is irrelevant.
Absolutely. And I can admit that.
Can you admit that your view on Christianity is YOUR opinion?
Of course not! So who has more humility Steve? The guy who admits he could be wrong? Or the guy who still will not admit he was wrong about positrons?
Had you actually bothered reading the bible for the purpose of understanding and learning, and then obeyed the gospel, you'd know what the truth is.
Again, you arrogantly assume your opinion is fact.
I have read (much of) the Bible for the purpose of understanding and learning. But that is not what you mean, is it? You mean reading it and interpreting it
according to SteveB's opinion on how it should be read and interpreted, because in SteveB's world SteveB's opinion on how it should be read and interpreted is "the truth".
I see you never actually did the word search I invited you to.
Arrogance is trusting one's self more than is appropriate.
How often have you posted done a google search and just posted the linked articles without bothering to read them? You just
assume the articles must agree with you, because... pride.
Remember the article about sea levels rising due to glaciers from the last ice age melting. What it actually said:
For Jo Brendryen, a paleoclimatologist at the University of Bergen in Norway who has studied the effects of deglaciation in Europe following the end of the last ice age, the idea that traditional oral histories preserve real accounts of sea level rise is perfectly plausible.
How it reads in SteveB's world:
So, I again, reiterate my comfort with my submission of the article and my purpose for doing so.
There's no mention of an ice age.
It is the one you are advocating. And? Why wouldn't I advocate a view defined in the bible, which is further described in scientific articles? Or at least, that is your faith position. Given the writings attributed to Moses include his own death, I have always been dubious of that. I think...
forums.carm.org
Furthermore, the article had "ice age" right there in the title! It was called "
Memories of the End of the Last Ice Age, from Those Who Were There", but never mind that.
And heaven forbid you should ever admit you were wrong to an atheist.
As you say, "Arrogance is trusting one's self more than is appropriate."
I don't trust myself at all.
At least on that we agree.
So you will understand when you state your unsupported opinions as fact I do not believe you.
Sounds like you have an ego problem with arrogance.
It's actually quite educational...
You accuse me of being arrogant and here you are fighting to demonstrate your own arrogance.
So? I am not pretending that I am not arrogant. You are.
I do not profess to follow a religion that considers pride to be the worst of the seven deadly sins. You are.
My arrogance and pride are a non-issue. And at least I have the humility to know that I can be arrogant, that I have pride.
I'm not the one who keeps saying they're right, while having the awareness that their folly will destroy them, while being convinced of their rightness.
You are the one who keeps saying he is right, and anyone who disagrees will burn forever in hell.
I think that takes considerably more arrogance.
That's simply because you don't actually want to know the truth.
No, Steve, it is because you assume your unsupported opinions are "the truth". I dare to disagree.
Last time around I said this:
Show me one instance of you admitting you were wrong to an atheist.
I do not doubt you can admit you were wrong to a Christian, but never an atheist. So here is your chance to prove me wrong Steve.
I see you have not presented any such time; until you do, I will continue to assume that none exist.
Even when you said of an article called "
Memories of the End of the Last Ice Age, from Those Who Were There", that "
There's no mention of an ice age" and you were so clearly and blatantly wrong, you still could not admit it, so it seems a safe assumption.
