   This mentality is as bad as the Duane Sheriff save yourself with your   
   bible theology. Why? He has simply kill filed himself.

   Jesus is the everlasting Father, Jesus is God, Jesus is the Lord. John

   are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.   
      
   Proverbs 12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that   
   hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.

   "If God is not first in everything, He is not first in anything."   
      
   "What makes the bible the truth? The resonance (voice, the Person) of   
   God. When you find Him you have found the author."   
      
   "All men were born sinners. Why? Because all men were born not loving   
   God with all their heart, soul, and mind. An abomination. Therefore,   
   sin is not what you do; it is what you are."   
      
   "Compromise will condemn you."   
      
   "There are no sinners in Christ Jesus."

   "The truth doesn't need evidence, it is evidence."   
      
   "There is no greater possession a man has than his own will, to squander   
   it or to place it where it truly belongs."   
      
   "An atheist is a fool who thinks truth is found in living a lie."   
      
   "Saying "prove it" [as a foundation] is merely an ignorant straw man, to   
   an ignorant straw man."   
      
   "Wait, rest, be still, and know."   
      
   "No man can wash his own hands!!!"   
      
   "I find this in the Christianity religions: 'Nobody's perfect' they say,   
   and they use that as an excuse not to do what is perfect."   
      
   "The Atheist: "They don't believe and put their faith in a Creator (the   
   obvious). So no evidence or proof is to be found."

   "You can't prove anything because everything depends on a person's   
   willingness to believe."   
      
   "Atheists are ultimately trying to be pointlessness, meaninglessness,   
   and purposelessness in their point, meaning, and purpose."   
      
   "The last day of creation will be the last day of time. God is always   
   full of hope."   
      
   "The veil of the temple was rent in twain, not so that a book could pass   
   through it for a sinner to play God."   
      
   "A phylactery does not a heart for God make. Not back then, and not today."   
      
   "No one in heaven is better (or higher) than what makes it heaven. Such   
   is the love of God."   
      
   "The definition of an atheist: a man full of bluster and bullshit in his   
   meaninglessness pretending he is the meaning of life."   
      
   "Free will is not power; it is the choice that I allow; that choice is   
   still according to my power," says the Lord.   
      
   "What does a fool do? A fool looks for a "nothing" in a "something" in   
   order to explain the existence of existence."
