We don't really, GodSpeed.
You won't be pinned down to explain exactly what you believe. You refuse to discuss anything in a serious and civilised way, to show any understanding of the fundamental natures and purposes of religion and science; to accept being questioned or doubted, or to tolerate any dissent from whatever you decide to believe at the time.
Your question has elicited over 3500 replies so far, most of which have little or no intellectual, philosophical or theological depth. Indeed, many are merely insult-trading between believing and not believing in God (or your version of God), or between appreciating and despising science. The latter stance, ironically, relying on scientific achievements to say so!
Just arguing over a question of no significance at all, round and round and round and round and... down the plughole into the drain.
I believe that was your intention all along. Merely provoking bitter, pointless arguments by posing a wilfully provocative, logically unanswerable question intended to arouse unreasoning emotion and passion rather than reasoned thought and analysis.
WHY?
Are you just as childish and unpleasant in real life? I hope not.

A lucid observation you make here. He was proven wrong long ago by so many here and everyone sees that. Willfully ignorant in his desperate pursuit of attention and validation, I expect he's come across a roadblock in his literal belief of scripture and the real, pragmatic, contemporary world we live in and since they don't jibe with one another, he exhibits deep-seated confusion. Therefore he seeks those needs here.
I've seen this before in others and noted that they reach the fork in the road delineating what is real and what has presented itself as unreal brought on by growing suspicion of the contradictions and conflicts inherent in that scripture. Most people get past this dilemma, however there's probably not enough time left in his waning years, thus the vigorous frustration and curt denial we see as well as being psychologically frail. Oh well, we all make choices in our lives. Good write up!

@GodSpeed63 I assume by "perfect love", you mean a love of God.
That is fair enough if you believe in God, and I accept your theological point there; but that doesn't account for human frailties including inability to accept other people's religious beliefs.

You're absolutely right. It's the perfect love of God that drives out fear.

@GodSpeed63 I see that as the Christian perspective, but what of those of other faiths and indeed of none who have no fear in a theological or philosophical sense?

There's only one God who saves and that's Yahweh through Jesus Christ by His Holy. He's the one true God who lives forever. All other gods are man made and cannot save. other faiths do not teach salvation and, even though they may not be afraid in this world, they don't teach love.
