Ping me, OK?

You have excellent copy/paste skills. Thank you for not changing any of my wording.
Has what I said I believed, not been clear? You read it, what questions do you still have?
You ask....what questions do you still have?
How do you define right from wrong?
I haven’t been evasive, I’ve explained it a number of times, haven’t I? It’s nothing more than what I said. Conscious and 62+years of life.
I’m working on an autobiography, but it won’t be in print for a while. I’ll reserve a copy for you.
At this time, suffice it to say that what I’ve been blessed by God with and my life’s experience is all I got.
Intuition/gut feeling I guess, although I will admit the question really just doesn’t ever come up. I do what I do, and so far, nothing bad has ever happened.
As I said earlier, that is why I am always thankful to God for making me who I am.
Perhaps I have a guardian angel?

WOW! That is 87 1/4th more stickers than I received in my entire Sunday School career! And sparkly, too!
Your kindness is only exceeded by your good looks and gentle manners. Say hi to the hub for me.
:D
; )
I have asked the question, of which you invited...therefore saying perhaps you have a guardian angel is evading that question.... So I’ll repeat it in case you have misunderstood....
How do you define right and wrong? Perhaps better asked...Do you believe that people sin..and that against God?
Ping to my better, nicer half. (I was going to say 5/8, but actually we are fairly evenly matched:)
#164
No, I don’t believe we can offend Him. I don’t even believe our concept of sin is of any significance to Him.
You stated when I asked if you believe we can sin against God..............”No, I don’t believe we can offend Him... I don’t even believe our concept of sin is of any significance to Him.”
How did you determine this?
I thought about it a lot and used #164, with perhaps some help from #165.
Then how do you explain death ?
What do you mean? It’s the end of the body, after that, I have no idea.
Well, I’m asking how come we die........How do you explain that this happens to our bodies?
You do seem to believe in God Stuart...but after death we live on regardles of what ones beliefs are...’all do’...it’s not over just because our bodies hit the dust.
I say this because God designed us for Eternity...the life we have here is temporary. So something happened that caused death to come....what do you think that was?
Google “General Education Board”, along with the Ford, Rockefeller and Carnegie foundations.
I guess anything that’s made of matter, is eventually going to wear out.
In case you need to ask me what our soul is made of, I don’t know and I don’t know what happens after death either.
You know, your questions are getting a little weird. I’m going to bed, be back in the morning.
Thanks for the insight. Many people think like he does. I sense they have a feeling of virtue in believing in everything, not making a judgment. There is One God seems “narrow.” All I was trying to do is get him to realize the non-rationality of this type of “anything-is-true” viewpoint. We can’t live our lives that way on other levels, like “if I drop this egg, will it land on the floor or the ceiling?” It’s one or the other. So, it’s really sad that this keeps them from knowing the One True God and the Only Savior. Happy Easter to all!
Never-the-less, I wish you well. You might want to read F.Schaefer’s “The God Who is There” and maybe Greg Koukl’s “Relativism: Feet Firmly Planted in Mid-Air.” And let me say again, I wish you well, Stuart.
Thanks
