WHY? Does quoting relevant scripture send the 2x2;s into sometimes a nasty response??

LAUGHING at a calamity is what is so ungodly and if it’s ungodly it’s heathen and is warned against in the scriptures. And no one PUT ME UP to anything. And no, I do not have the brains or the integrity of Dmg to set a matter straight. Yeah right ... an atheist quoting the scriptures. lol Are you left handed? Why are the 2x2s on here so surprised when an atheist quotes scripture? Most of us on here have had it drilled into our heads most of our lives, and just because someone quotes something, it doesn't mean they are believing in it. People quote Trump, but it doesn't mean they support him. An atheist quoting scripture just shows how broad minded they are, compared to the narrow minded 2x2 Christians.

I am not an atheist. I’m not anything other than what iam. The rest is up to my God but it seems like it’s acceptable practice (best practice?) for 2x2s on TMB to judge anyone who isn’t blindfolded. Nevertheless I don’t expect you to understand that, are you high? Sorry Iam. No I'm not high ... I just thought you were an atheist. I don't know why exactly but I apologize. I'm 66 years old, going on 67, have diabetes and some serious cancer going on, with related macular degeneration and cataracts, so can't read a computer screen very well any more. I haven't been on the board for quite some time; but, I do enjoy discussing the Bible, and since I don't attend ANY church this is one place I can attempt to have Bible discussions; but, it's been a let down to see so much against GOD and the word of GOD. Well take it easy IAM. Truly Didn't intend to rattle your cage or ruffle your feathers so to speak! Jet, I am so sorry to hear about your eyes. All of my life I have had one eye that I really would never be able to use to read.
Being in the 2x2's I could not have any outside friends and didn't live close to any young people professing.
Books were the only friends that I had and I use to worry that something would happen to the only eye that to used to read.
I would rather have died than that happen.

Jetmech, an academic has a mind that is eager to obtain knowledge. They learn how to think, not what to think. The subject material is irrelevant. They have to find a credible reference to support any statement they make. Academic mindsets are the psycho-social attitudes or beliefs one has about oneself in relation to academic work. A long line of research evidence shows that having a sense of belonging in a school or classroom improves a student's academic performance. Once the mind is properly trained it seeks out accurate and verified information. Unfortunately the Bible is not a credible reference. The Bible is not primarily scholarly because it is not considered a debatable theory in the way most academic texts are. It is not peer-reviewed and does not have a bibliography, as most academic texts do. To its adherents, it is the word of God. Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. 14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with the (the man they healed was 42 years old). Acts 4:13-22 Jet, -you entirely missed the point that redback was making.

When we were 2x2's we were in a trance, as were all 2x2's. Conventions were a powerful source of keeping us in a trance. Trance is an abnormal state of wakefulness in which a person is not self-aware and is either altogether unresponsive to external stimuli (but nevertheless capable of pursuing and realizing an aim) or is selectively responsive in following the directions of the person (if any) who has induced the trance. Not a good way to live your life.
Academics learn to think for themselves, they cannot be victims of being put in a trance. They analyse what they hear, and are savy enough to know if it is correct information. They know how to implement checks and balances. Getting full control of your own mind, is the most important task that you have to undertake in life.

You have confused yourself. I certainly can do a quick put down, sometimes it results in a broken collar bone, or shoulder injury, sometimes broken fingers or a wrist. Generally they don't run afterwards.

The Bible doesn't care about academics! The Bible doesn't care about anything -- only people care. However, without academics there would be no Bibles, and no one to read them if there were.

Bob, regarding your remark about academics, I saw a sign once a musician had placed ... it said "DON'T SHOOT ME ... I'M JUST THE PIANO PLAYER ..." LOL So, with all due respect, I'd like to point out an incident in the Bible that clearly proves academics and intelligence has nothing to do with things biblically, nor with salvation.etc John Ch 4 when Peter and John went to the lame man who could not walk. It tells how the people knew that lame man well. They had known him for years, and they KNEW he couldn't walk. The lame man was 42 years old and had to be carried to the spot where he lay begging for alms. When Peter told him " ... get up and walk ... the man leaped up and walked ...!" ACTS CH 4:13 " ... When they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled ...""... they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus..." ACTS ch 4:14 " ... beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing ..." ACTS CH 4:16 " ... INDEED A NOTABLE MIRACLE HATH BEEN DONE BY THEM ..." (the miracle done by 'unlearned' 'ignorant' men (not intelligent academic men). I believe that's what makes it so marvelous. That no intelligence nor academia was required.

You're forgetting that writing and reading are academic matters. You have your reading teacher to thank for being able to read such things, and you have the writer's writing teacher to thank for teaching him/her to write it. They have kept people from remaining forever ignorant of anything beyond what they can see, touch, taste, hear, and smell.

It was a man by the name of Stephen Prothero, for one. A religious studies professor at Boston University. A quick few quotes from a book about his research:

Depends on whether you believe in revelation. It depends on whether you believe God is, and whether mankind is evolving pursuant to him and his general and specific revelation.

As well as the facts. I mean if God saved the Jews from Egyptian slavery by miracles or technological means, perhaps we should edit your secular atheist assumption.
