Jim explains

Can I leave my card?
"No, did I mention that you are on private property?"
What do you mean?
"This is private property, you weren't invited, so you're traspassing"
Huh?
"Do you have a village solicitation permit?"
Huh?
"Did you see the sign on the edge of town that says permit required for
solicitation?"

I do that to the Witnesses & the Mormons. I ask if they were invited
to the complex by a homeowner. Of course they always answer NO. Then
I inform them of the trespassing laws and as soon as I close the door
I'm calling the cops.

I guess my address is now on their "Do No Call" list. The Witnesses
were here yesterday but no one came to my door.

Some simple truths:

=====================
God loves you.
We were created have fellowship with Him.
Sin (man's claim to the right to himself) alienates us from God.
Jesus Christ - God's Son - came to earth as God Incarnate and gave up His
rights to Himself to redeem us from sin.
God accepted Christ's sacrifice and signified this by raising Him from the
dead.
If we accept the sacrifice of Christ as a substitutionary sacrifice for our
sins, we are saved from the results of those sins - alienation from God.

"By this gospel you are saved ... that Christ died for our sins according to
the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day
according to the Scriptures"

=====================
Everything else is man's attempt to understand God - some do it better than
others but no one's got it all figured out.

John,

Some simple truths:


Truths? Says who? How can you state something like that after having
read the thread, assuming you have? If you had said: "Some simple
beliefs" - that would have been ok. But "truths"? Sad...

Some simple truths:

From Encarta Dictionary:

Truth [ trooth ] (plural truths [ troothz, trooths ])

noun

1. true quality: correspondence to fact or reality
2. something factual: something that corresponds to fact or reality
spoke the truth
3. true statement: a statement that corresponds to fact or reality

Although your beliefs are commonly accepted by many, I don't think they meet
the standard of "Truth".

Is the truth any less true just because someone chooses not to believe it

Nope.

But that's not what we're discussing here.

Larry,

A truth that needs "believing in" is not a truth. Read that definition
again!

Just because no one can currently prove something doesn't mean it isn't true.
One day we will all know if it is truth or not. True or False: I will have my
PPL by the end of next year. I believe it is true, you may not, but what either
of us believe is irrelevant as to weather it is true or not. We will both have
to wait till the end of next year to find out.

I would agree that the truth does not need belief in order to be true. No problem.
But when a statement is made, whether it be truth or not, there is a choice - believe,
or do not believe. A choice not to believe a statement of truth does not make it
any less true.

Larry,

Uh, no. I mean, yes, you can chose to believe in truths - but it doesn't make any sense.
