You cannot possibly have a good god enabling all the bad things, it doesn't possibly work. You're either wilfully lying or too stupid to follow, any prophet who says this is corrupt.
What about Free Will? Is there Free Will in forcing us to only doing good? Is there any love in that?

I don't agree that baptism is meant to save us"Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you," - 1 Peter 3:21aThe context reveals that water symbolises baptism which saves you. Not that the water saves you, but the baptism of the Spirit, which water baptism symbolises.Hence, water baptism does not save. Spirit baptism does.
If we are to separate the "water" baptism from the "Spirit" baptism, is not the Spirit entering through you via the water baptism? Baptism is done with water. I do not understand how you split the two

Nor do I think all should be baptised.Why not?For what purpose?
Baptism saves us, and God commands to go out and baptize others. Baptism rituals should be distributed.
"And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”" - Acts 2:38
Baptism is stressed to be administered to all

Happy Birthday
Thank you. And if you didn't see, I chose one of your songs to be the next piece I learn to play. I wish I knew more songs like "Into the Mystic." Must be a generational thing for me--bombarded with modern music

Now that I am 18, what are some prudent and productive things I should do first in my life? Adulthood is very different from childhood. What do you recommend?

@YouFound_Lxam
Baby's should not be baptised, because then what is the point?The whole point of you getting baptized is you are taking a step of faith and showing others that you are a son or daughter of God.
Baptism is not a show or meant to be a public-display. Baptism is meant to save us, and all are to be Baptized

Pop would be the easiest to learn as the complexity of the songs are not very, so feel to give one of that genre. If you have a song from a different genre, know that I have been swamped with many suggestions *looking at Athias right now* and have already taken up Sidewalker's request for Into the Mystic by Van Morrison

Creative take on my wish.
My wish: I wish that I will get a girlfriend (of unspecified identity, preferably human) and she will slap me in the face.
Your wish is granted. In these unprecedented times, the number of LGBTQ+ members is increasing. Its influence reaches Will Smith. Mr. Smith "becomes" a woman and only wears the women's line of clothing his son Jayden sported. He leaves Jada for his true lover, a scholarly IRL Intel_06. Will tries to hide his PTSD from Chris Rock's jokes at the Oscar's, but is prone to compulsive slapping fits towards the nearest person. Lucky you
My Wish:
To be the best Tricker in the world.

I wish that I get 2nd place in the upcoming test at school. Not 1st, not 3rd, just 2nd.
Wish is fulfilled. But then everyone at school will refer to you and your 2nd place title as "1st Loser"

and after praying to his "father" to "relieve him of his terror".
Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane,
"O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt." - Matthew 26:39 KJV. Jesus was anxious for the events of the night, but He was still willing to carry out His Father's commands.
And this does not in anyway resemble sitting on the throne of King David to rule over the Jews and reign over all of Jerusalem "for ever and ever", as his mother was promised.
The kingdom of Jesus is not a worldly kingdom. God does rule over us. "Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And thy dominion endureth throughout all generations." Psalm 145:13 KJV

@BrotherD.Thomas
This is all about the definition of murder.
The ability to kill is a by-product of living in an imperfect world. God utilized our ability to kill to further His goals. Take a look at King David or Gideon or Moses' attack on Jericho. There were evil and dangerous foes that God knew had to be destroyed.
It sounds like you are saying all killing is murder. Is this correct?

Not a single part of this promise came to fruition.
"31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus."
How about verse 31? This did not happen?

Why it is that you seem to have decided to single out myself and Brother D. Thomas when there is also ; b9_ntt , Melcharaz , SkepticalOne, zedvictor4 , hey-yo and Deb-8-a-bull to "deabte" or "interact" with seems just as interesting to me.
You and Thomas are the only ones thus far that have wanted a discussion about Biblical topics within the forum. SkepticalOne and b9_ are interested in legit debate. I mentioned you both as the two to continue conversation within this forum

You mistake my silence for "running away."
1. I told you and everyone else who reads the forum that I am busy this upcoming week. My trip has already begun.
2. As such, I have more important priorities such as school work to complete. DART is secondary. I only have time to check my messages and create superficial comments like this.
Have patience, man

I did not realize that you wanted to have the "debate" in the forum like BrotherD.Thomas. I am open to that. I am not going to juggle between multiple Bible topics at once, so do not be surprised with a later response or argument. Though, this is a forum, and I don't have to make a full-scale argument. Good because I'll be more likely to get around to it then.
I do not know your or Thomas' intentions for interacting with me, but I am glad for participation. I always enjoy conversation with opposing views

DEBATE UPDATE
I have decided to have a debate with b9 first on his requested topic concerning the Genealogies of Jesus. Stephen will most likely be next.
Realize that I am going on a week-long High School trip for the Seniors all of next week. As I'll be busy, debating won't start until around next Saturday

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Matthew7:7-8Probably the most cruel lie ever to be written.
How come you say this is a lie?

@BrotherD.Thomas
Since you do not do Official Debates, I will accommodate to you.
In Matthew 15:1-4 where Jesus says, "Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, is to be put to death," is referring to Exodus 21:15. This was a part of a set of laws that God gave to Moses in addition to The Ten Commandments to maintain order and law within the nomadic Israelite group in the desert.
You call this specific rule an act of murder. The Ten Commandments show murder to be wrong. That law in Matthew does say, "To be put to death," but is the death penalty unlawful?

@BrotherD.Thomas
Which Bible do you read from, and how do you know without a doubt that you are reading the correct one?
The Bible most generally known as The Holy Bible/God's Word. From Christianity.
Can't you come up with a topic within the Bible yourself? Remember, Jesus is watching you (Hebrews 4:13) fail in not bringing forth a topic of your own.
Oh, it's much more interesting for me this way. I am acting like one of those "street pastors" in a sense that have open debate with any passerby willing to participate. This way, my opponent and I can agree on a topic beforehand that interests us both. If I were to give a topic such as "The Bible Is True" (I said I would possibly), I would easily be able to draw in a large crowd of non-Christians that would see my resolution as a noobsnipe. But again, I do prefer specific topics especially that are offered by others; communication that precedes the debate helps with this.
So, what you are essentially saying is that if the title is disturbing and you cannot debate it because your Bible ineptness will not allow you to do so, then said topic is off limits?
It's not about lack of Biblical knowledge. Some debators on here will make a topic that has very specific wording for the sole reason of beating the opponent based on purely semantical grounds. It's a form of trolling, honestly and not meaningful in any way. I truly care about my future discussions and debates.
When you said in quote #3 above, you were not into debates where the title is seemingly a trap, then how can you increase your knowledge of Bible contents without opposing views!
Opposing views are not the same as "traps." You understand this, right?
Okay, as one of many examples of you saying the Bible is True, then do you believe that any parent should murder their offspring if they curse them, as specifically shown when Jesus said the following:JESUS SAID: "Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? For God commanded, saying, 'Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, is to be put to death." (Matthew 15: 1-4)If you disagree with Jesus' direct words above, are you calling Him a LIAR where He is God (Titus 2:3)?
If you are interested, we can argue about this on an official debate. This forum is not the source of back and forth arguments but for the discussion of topics

Most of my debates from here on out will be about the Bible or similar content. I created a forum because like the title says, this will be a series of mine with no signs of stopping.
The forum is also so those interested can contact me ahead of time. Reasons could be: a specific topic for debate, debate alterations, or the like.
I am not into debates in which the title is in itself a trap. These arguments are made to increase my knowledge of Biblical content and opposing views.
Again, if you are interested and have a specific topic, let me know.
If there is low activity on this forum then I my debates will simply be "Bible Is True" or something like that to give Con the full capability to attack however they like.
