So your opinions are logical but if I disagree, mine are not? Can't fight logic like that.

Why don't you point out something I said that is not logical and tell me why it isn't.?

Job was spiritually righteous based on his faith in God. He was not literally righteous. Rom 3:11

David was a man after God's own heart because of His faith in God, not on his conduct.

Abraham believed God and it was counted (imputed) to him as righteousness.

What qualifies you to remove the question mark? Are you fluent in Hebrew?

It is a legitimate question. If you don't know, admit it. If you can't, you don't have the intellectual authority to say it is made up.

Then explain God's evaluation of Job---Have you considered my servant Job? For there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, fearing God and turning away from evil.

I would certainly like to have that on my spiritual resume.

Logically, either God is eternal or matter is. Which do you pick and why?

Let's see it. Making hypothesis and using scriptures isn't evidence, but I am open to real evidence.

Isn't there a scripture that addresses this? That our actions reflect what's in our hearts? So, how can David have a righteous heart, yet unrighteous actions?

First let me say your opinion is not even 2 cents worth.

Because you don't understand fundamentalism, you don't know what we believe and that causes you to get everything backwards.

WE do not believe we choose our own path. There is no "Scripture that says we do.

WE teach following the Good Shepherd of Ps 23. he leads us and guides us. We also teach that there is a way that seem right to a man, but in the end it is the way of death---prov 14:12. That is also the end for home made theology.

The Bible gives the only logical explanation for the existence of matter and life. Jimmie is right, everything, has a cause, except what is eternal.

The heavens are declaring the glory of God.
