Isaiah 55:11 My Word won't return void.

For those still searching for truth, who are lost, and are ready, his word will find them and so posting has purpose and I will keep on posting the word of God. To me, engaging in debate is pointless because I'm secure in my beliefs.

'Posting here has a purpose, but posting here is pointless'?

Make up your mind... :P

Where did I say "posting here has a purpose, but posting here is pointless" did you seriously just read it that way? You even quoted what I said and repeated it wrong. lol way to misrepresent what I said entirely.

Let me clarify the obvious. Posting the Word of God has purpose (the intent to save others has purpose for me) Engaging in debate, however, holds no purpose for me because I'm secure in my beliefs. If I wanted a debate, I would go to the atheist forum! I just post my experiences with God and my knowledge about scripture when a question is asked, and leave it at that. I ignore those who try to engage debate; it's no use!

Are we only supposed to debate here?

To legitimize this statement you must first demonstrate that what you are posted is indeed the "Word of God". You have no evidence that would suggest such is the case. Without such, your posts really are meaningless and pointless.

His word doesn't return void, thus I will keep posting it. I might add, you have no evidence to the contrary and I won't be discouraged from posting.

And we are back where we started.

Though this negative CAN be proven, the onus is on the one making the positive claim. While you will certainly continue to post, please be aware that your flawed claims will be exposed, making our case much easier.

You can't prove it. Just admit you're going on a belief system that the Bible isn't the Word of God.

Whether or not my argument is flawed depends on the audience receiving the message.

Actually, whether its flawed or not depends upon the logic, reason, and facts behind it, with no regards to faith or hope.

I noticed you left out evidence this time.

Again, dependent on the audience. Coming to the knowledge of Christ is something that happens when the Word of God is shared. There are no flaws in the truth.

John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

Psalm 18:30 As for God, his way is perfect: The LORD's word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.
