I can't convince you, Leigh. No one can. Only when God draws a soul
from within are you convinced, and that convincing comes not by words
and examples here in nature, but by the spirit, and that's something
you are not yet equipped to understand.
 
We are three-fold beings, just as God is three-fold:
 
Soul -> relates to: God the Father
Body -> relates to: God the Son
Spirit -> relates to: God the Holy Spirit
 
Our spirit is dead because of sin (you can read this in Genesis 1-5).
Jesus takes away our sin and gives us new spiritual life, and it is
a precursor drawing before the day we come to Christ and ask Him to
forgive us that God the Father draws us. It is the life growing
before "birth" when we actually ask Jesus to forgive us.
 
No one can convince you, Leigh. We can only teach you the truth.
And all who are not drawn by God from within to know the truth will
only mock it, demand proof, and profess and exclaim that it cannot
possibly be true for reasons X, Y, Z, and others.
 
But the Lord promises us, and I promise you from my own experience,
that if you seek the truth with a real and sincere seeking, then God
will open up your understanding, and you will be saved.

Your answer is yet more assertions without evidence which can be
dismissed without evidence and so are duly dismissed.

Salvation is a new life, Melzzzzz. It is spirit, not flesh. Once
a person is saved they cannot be un-saved, just as a newborn baby
cannot be un-born. And whereas here in the flesh you can kill the
body and end the flesh-based life, the same is NOT true of our
spirit. There are no weapons which can harm our spirit, and those
God saves He is able to keep until that final day.
 
You've been told the truth too, Melzzzzz. The reason you cannot
hear it today is because you aren't (yet) being saved (if indeed
you will ever be saved).
 
When God begins to draw you from within, then you will know the
truth, and that truth is compulsive and you will be made free by
what God gifts to you ... if that day ever comes.

I don't think you read my reply. You have a tendency to gloss over
those things you initially disagree with, which prevents you from
hearing the details and learning the truth.
 
As I stated previously, the devil is not in the details, he's in the
glossing over of the details.
 
You want to stay on the path to Hell, then do not investigate any of
the things I have claimed. Do not seek the truth that I teach you is
there wholly. Continue on as you have, and you will remain where you
are today.
 
But if you want to examine the possibility of there truly being a God,
and the possibility that you truly have been duped by a world bent on
your eternal soul's destruction ... then do so. The choice is yours.
As I say, there will be no people going into Hell by accident. Only
those who wholly rejected the truth with both hands, both feet, and
everything else they're able to do so with, will cast themselves into
Hell.
 
It's your choice, Leigh. Make it a good one.

Asserting something is true does not make it so (unless you have factual
evidence to back that assertion up). Not a single one of your
assertions have any evidence to back them up so are all summarily dismissed.

Agree. The evidence is there before all of creation, but because of
sin it is able to be wrongly dismissed. Because of sin it's possible
to not see it as being valid, because there is another source (Satan
and his demon spirit army) influencing you to believe other things.
Because of sin you are unable to know the difference between the truth
and falseness, which is how Satan is able to deceive you (and indeed
all of mankind) so easily.

Disagree. But, you'll have to find that out for yourself.

If you disagree then provide some evidence to back at least one of your
assertions up.
 
It is at this point that most Christians give up and say "it is a matter
of faith" but of course you know my answer to that: faith is not
evidence so cannot be used to backup an assertion.

That is our flesh existence. The new existence I point you to is
spirit. Three-fold beings, Melzzzzz. Our flesh is our flesh until
we leave this world and are given our eternal body. But our spirit
is dead until we come to Christ and ask forgiveness. Only then is
that new part of our existence added on to us.
 
This new spirit causes us to change our lives. We may still make
mistakes, but it won't be an ongoing pattern of behavior. It will
be moments, and even in those moments you'll know it is wrong and
you'll want to change.
 
Satan is a taskmaster. He'll keep you focused only on the flesh if
you'll let him. But for all who pursue God in spirit and in truth,
the same are led by Him and His Holy Spirit.

To see you need an eye, not an ear. To hear you need an ear, not an
eye. To understand things of the spirit you need the spirit, not
the flesh.
 
It's only invisible and seemingly non-existent because you do not
possess the faculties to see it, because of what sin has done to you
in condemning your soul to Hell, and dying spiritually.

Human stupidity is eternal if it leads to an end other than coming
to the salvation made possible by Jesus Christ. But, human stupidity
is not the only thing that is eternal. Eternal life with God in
Heaven is also eternal.

So if I understand Rick correctly, he concedes there is no extant evidence
that could convince a disinterested party of the truth value of the biblical
texts. I think that's fair comment and that everybody can agree with that.
 
He further seems to suggest that if such a disinterested party were to
somehow suppress their disbelief, a god like entity would somehow pop into
their heads and make the truth value of the biblical texts clear. But
that suggestion seems to be on shakier ground. While Rick obviously feels
that he's had such an experience himself, it's also true that lots of
people have had things pop into their heads, as any psychiatrist can affirm.

What I teach is what the Bible teaches, and what I personally found in
2004:
 
Seek the truth.
You won't be able to find it on your own, but if you seek it
truly with a sincere seeking, God will see you doing this,
and He will know your heart's intent.
He will then come to you and lead you to knowledge of Himself,
His Son, and give you eternal life.
 
This world is a proving ground. A threshing floor. It is a place
where the wheat is separated from the chaff. All who will not seek
the truth are purged. Only those who will seek the truth are saved
from judgment, and eternal Hellfire.
 
Just seek the truth with an honest seeking. God will do the rest.

If you ever come to faith and are born again, you will be amazed at
how intensely the presence of evil spirits at every corner are guiding
the still-in-sin people of this world to their destruction.
 
We can't see spiritual things because of sin. We only see the effects
of spiritual things, but to our mind we can only conclude that those
things are the result of the person doing bad things, and not the un-
seen influence of an evil spirit tempting a person to do those things.

Only if you die with your sin still charged to you (meaning Jesus did
not transfer it to Himself, thereby setting you free). The lake of
fire is called "the second death":
 

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+20%3A14-15&version=KJV
 
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is
the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was
cast into the lake of fire.
 
For those souls who die unforgiven ... it is only eternal torment.
It's why God warns us in advance so we can repent and ask forgiveness.

If your crystal ball is working correctly then you should have posted a
link to a free update to their 1990 Turbo C compiler/Editor.

They have starter editions as well that are much better than their

I would not say that (especially as I have no real concept of what
"mental rape" might be - but it sounds bad). If you follow a religion,
and believe it is "the truth" and of benefit to everyone (and if you
don't believe that, why are you following it?) then it is understandable
that you will want to tell people about it. Keeping the "truth" to
yourself would be selfish. If you want to put up a sign outside your
church saying "come and learn about god", that's fine. If people talk
to you and ask you about your beliefs, and you try to persuade them of
the "truth" as you see it, that's fine. If you want to put up a stand
in a public place promoting your religion, that's okay in a limited way
(the same as a stand promoting Greenpeace, or Save the Children, or
whatever).
 
Forcing people to listen to your proselytizing, or intruding upon other
people is /not/ okay. But it is not "mental rape" - it's being a public
nuisance or public disorder. It's like a Save the Children campaigner
rattling their collection box under your nose as you walk down the
street, saying "But don't you care about the children?". It is the kind
of thing that gets you fined, not jailed.
 
Forcing people to convert to your religion is a different matter -
/that/ is a crime against humanity, and perhaps "mental rape". It has
been done in all sorts of ways throughout history, and it is still done
in many places today, for many religions (including Christianity, and
including the western world). Equally, forcing someone to give up their
religion is against their human rights.
 
What Rick does here is /not/ a crime, or "mental rape". But he is being
a public nuisance, it is abuse of the freedom of speech, and this Usenet
group would be a far better place without his religious posts. The
same, IMHO, applies to Mr. Flibble's so-called "satire". It was
marginally witty the first time, but was tedious and irritating by the
second faked post, and is as counter-productive and childish as Brian's
anti-swearing campaign. (Of course we all want to keep Mr. Flibble's
on-topic C++ posts.)
 
Rick's off-topic posts are annoying, but there is no need to exaggerate
them (especially as they are pathetic "conversion attempts"). And if
Mr. Flibble follows through in his promise to cut the "satire", then
hopefully the number of nonsense threads will die down for a bit.

Thanks, that worked.
 
Building the original version takes 6.4 seconds. The latest
version takes 2.2 seconds. That's using g++ 7.3 to build both
versions. Those are both without using the -j flag. The
times are both faster if I add -j2.
 
Jorgen Grahn's help in this thread with the makefiles was
important and Thiago Adams' help in another thread where
he suggested using an amalgamated approach was also
a big help in making progress over the past year.
 
Klaus Iglberger's talk at Cppcon about freeing your
functions has also been helpful.
