There is no topicality in this topic, is there? I would like to know why you're a Christian.

Yes there is.
Ask it in another topic.

Because you're an intellectually dishonest coward, we know.

I'd ask you to prove it, but you won't.

A source that we can't even see unless we have a subscription.
So we don't really know how badly this was skewed by the media.

Grasping for straws, I see.

Misinterpreting a dictionary is not proof of me misinterpreting a dictionary.

It is when I did nothing different than you.

All things come from God. That's what the Bible says. 1 Chronicles 29:14.

So AIDS is from God.

That's nice.

I'm trying to keep focused actually. Making unnecessary claims just creates distraction.

Yeah right.

I'm claiming that it doesn't matter.

Yeah, it doesn't matter whether or not you're flying in the face of God with your bad definition.

And you're right, you have no burden to prove that your definition is correct or anything. No, none at all. It's all on me to disprove YOUR definition. Because that's how the burden of proof works, right? "It's all on the other guy".

Conclusion: Your definition is bad and you should feel bad. You think that faith is a thing that just appears in people's brains whenever God wills it, without ever even trying to prove your own definition. Nobody should take you seriously.

So the Bible verse would suggest. "All things" includes AIDS. Unless there's more to it and that's an "incomplete" picture, of course.

Yeah right.

Hell, my lack of claims got you distracted.

Yeah, it doesn't matter whether or not you're flying in the face of God with your bad definition.

No, it doesn't matter because I wouldn't be "flying in the face of God" either way. As I said, there is nothing sinful with having multiple definitions for a word, one Biblical and one not.

And you're right, you have no burden to prove that your definition is correct or anything. No, none at all. It's all on me to disprove YOUR definition. Because that's how the burden of proof works, right? "It's all on the other guy".

I don't have a burden to prove my definition is "correct" because there's no such thing as a "correct" definition. I gave my definition and explained why I thought it made sense. You then made a bunch of claims that I did indeed ask you to back up. That's not reversing the burden of proof. That's trying to get you to substantiate your claims.

Conclusion: Your definition is bad and you should feel bad. You think that faith is a thing that just appears in people's brains whenever God wills it, without ever even trying to prove your own definition. Nobody should take you seriously.

Well, there are only two plausible ways you could come to that conclusion. Either you aren't bothering to comprehend what I'm saying or you're purposefully bastardizing my words. Neither reflects on you very well.

Maybe if you didn't mistakenly take my definition of "faith" as disparaging, you wouldn't have argued so vehemently about it and in such a poor manner.
