Oh, it's actually quite close. Too bad I won't be able to greet you that day since before July 10 I'll be banned now from the computer and gadgets, and it's most likely I'll never get it back. What a loving god we have indeed, right?
That's fair, I get where you're coming from in this case, since we are both types of Christians and both believe in the Bible, and so if we got into an argument on faith you could use the Bible to make a point, but it's TECHNICALLY not empirical evidence. It's still based upon whether you believe in the Bible or not. You couldn't, say, use the Bible to argue with an atheist.
Now, philosophically prove is a different thing. There's a ton of philosophical reasons for the existence of God, and for Faith.
Well, the Bible even says that is is sufficient. Atheists don't even think like Christians do, so arguing with them is entirely different than how you would argue with another Christian.
I've heard lots of those philosophical arguments. I personally do not need solid proof, due to faith, but I see your point.
That's fair, as I said, but my statement was more in regard to faith-based arguments in general, not specifically Christian to Christian ones.
'I personally do not need solid proof, due to faith' is exactly the point I've been trying to make. Don't get me wrong, Faith without solid proof is a great thing, and there are like a bazillion bible quotes which say so, but at the same time, two people arguing when neither side is back by solid proof, and both are backed primarily by faith, will inevitably end in a draw. You can't prove something true if it has no proof behind it. My SECOND point was that you could have a PHILOSOPHICAL debate on it if you wanted to, though.
