1:As Jesus is always correct, 2:my agreeing with my Saviour makes me also correct!
Unproven assertion (1) leads to false premise (2).
As Jesus is always correct, my agreeing with my Saviour makes me also correct!
FLOATINGAXE, THIS IS JESUS....START THINKING FOR YOURSELF.
Being Christian means never having to admit you're wrong.
(Which, given the whole "sin" thing, is sorta ironic, don'cha think?)
And in this comment we find another of the motivations for the fundy to embrace his irrational beliefs. If I were sufficiently motivated to feel as though I am always right, I might also ascribe to such inane nonsense. Floating axe, you have the maturity of the proud kid who goes around saying my dad knows everything. It is his grasp for legitimacy. You're older than that. Grow up.
Funny how Jesus' thoughts are just like yours.
Funny how you think that means you agree with Jesus, not that you invented your ideas about what Jesus thinks.
I think I get it now. You are always correct when you agree with what Jesus said, therefore Jesus is always correct and when you agree with him, you are correct also. I think I see where this is going.
O.K., lets assume that Jesus existed and Jesus really was always correct.
Then you still don´t know what Jesus said during his lifetime. The only informations about what Jesus allegedly has said during his lifetime you´ve got from books written decades after Jesus alleged death.
Books which btw. were selected before others to be included within the bible in accordance with church politics 300 years after Jesus lifetime. Whereas books who contradicted the books in the bible were actively sought after and burned by pauline christians.
So even if Jesus were always correct you cannot know wether you agree with your savior or not and will also not know wether you are corect or not.
aaa, Yes, I would. If Jesus asked me to jump off of a cliff, I would trust that he had a plan to catch me in the air or make me levitate above the ground. Even if I hit the ground, I would go to spend eternity with Him in heaven, so what would I have to lose?
God often asks His people to do things that take them outside of their comfort zone. For example, the Old Testament saints were asked to slaughter women, children, and infants and to hamstring horses (which means cutting a certain tendon in the back of a horse's leg to cripple it). Jephthah was required to sacrifice his teenage daughter in order to fulfill a vow he had made to the Lord. Obviously, this would have taken the Old Testament beleivers outside of their comfort zone of what was "normal" and "good," but it was done for God's bigger plan of bringing them into the land of Canaan so that the Messiah (Jesus) would be born and eventually redeem humanity. It takes faith to live the Christian life.
This attitude is often used by the "secret police" in totalitarian countries. "Whatever the Great Leader tells us to do is always correct." It's an attitude which, taken to its logical extreme, leads to the commission of unfathomable atrocities by its believers. If this is your worldview, I'll keep a safe distance away from you...
The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round...
Come on, sing it with me!

"Jesus is always correct"
Yeah. About that fig tree malarkey. Cursing it for not fruiting out of season, that the action/thinking of a sane person, to you...?
On the rare occasions of my computer freezing up/BSOD'ing (thus remember the Golden Rule, re. using word processing/image manipulation software/etc: save early, and often!), what good would shouting & screaming do? When all one has to do is just press the 'Reset' button.
Cursing a fig tree. Pressing a computer's reset button: who is correct ...? [/smartarse]
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
