A final presentation of the Indifferent Contradiction

TILL
 Let's just put this issue into focus with a question that Matt should be
 able to answer.  ARE THERE ANY PEOPLE NOW LIVING ANYWHERE ON EARTH WHOSE
 ATTITUDE TOWARD JESUS COULD ACCURATELY BE REPRESENTED WITH THE WORD
 "INDIFFERENT"?
 
 MATT
 Yes there would be, but this must be qualified by stating that from a
 Scriptural perspective indifference=against and never for.
 

BEN
But there is a conflicting scriptural perspective.  What Till is trying
to tell you is that there is a contradiction.  You admit that there are
people who are indifferent to Christ.  One passage says that those who are
not for him (which the indifferent would qualify) are against him.  On the
other hand, the other passage they have been showing you is that those who
are not against him (the indifferent would qualify here, too) are for him.
 So on passage is saying the indifferent are for him, and the other is
saying
they are against him.  And you admitted (it is quoted earlier in this
paper)
that there are indifferent people.  So the contradiction is valid.

MATT
You argument falls down when you say 'the indifferent would qualify here
too'. The indifferent are, through original sin, effectively against Jesus
and the Gospel. So the contradiction is invalid.

Thanks


Matt
