Brother, lol, plainly Timmy disagrees with the Bible overall. His posts and polls are intended to spread that disagreement. It has nothing to do with losing a debate. lol. For one, I have debated hundreds of times and enjoy it. But this is something totally different, I think. And no one has to agree with me in that.

If my Religion or Idea about God is solid and true, no one should be able to shake or destroy my Faith.

I agree. But there are always weaker in the faith believers who are susceptible to serious damage. As far as I personally am concerned, Timmy can propose his unbelief til the cows come home. But to condone his efforts is something else.

If what we have is shaken or proven false, Faith is not destroyed, Faith is renewed and sustained.

Agreed, but beside the point.

Weakness of mind is a mind that can, and will be, manipulated by bogus philosophy.

Weakness of mind is not the issue when those of weaker faith, due to their state along the journey is as it is, are exposed.
Quote:
And, a mind is weak that won't venture into the unknown of learning. Church keeps people "At Bay", fearful of the deep waters of Truth.
Religion is afraid of you and I becoming educated with the Facts, because Knowledge is power and unlocks the door of lies.
As far as your last statement, a big, HUH??

You missed the point, I think. I do not condone weak minds, but not everyone weak in faith is weak in mind. Also, Paul stated that if something would offend his WEAK "CONSCIENCED" brother, he would refrain. It's not a weak MIND, but weak CONSCIENCE due to spiritual immaturity which is always the case with new believers, btw. Sorry if you think new believers should not have weak consciences.
