Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2183540 But if you ask John about Cristianity, the Bible, or the history of Israel/Judah, he will reply with an offensive remark. Even on his 'ask me a question' thread, when I asked respectfully. maybe that's how they stop him from spilling all the beans... Perhaps? I don't know just guessing based on how word programming goes... That actually makes some sense, never thought of that. I hope you keep an open mind on Christianity as well. mom and grandmother were Non-denom ... they were deep into the church The bible and concordance were my two books growing up and I was not allowed to ask questions unless I did my own looking up things. also I had a few dictionaries and completes sets of encyclopedias. I grew up in Miami in the 80's and it was a pretty bad place then so I did a lot of reading I THINK I'm good on the religion aspect... I know how to read into ROOT words... they don't ever tell you to look into those too tough right? You should start... Genesis 1 and 2 in Hebrew ROOT words... LOT different story. happy hunting We can use something like the Chabad version now to check the hebrew. One part that misleads people about the first two chapters is the order that God creates things, and things being made in the garden specifically. |

Most Christians do not understand Christian Theology. Quoting: Holy_Diver I'll give you the shortest version I can in the time allotted: We were higher, where God is, and he begged us not to descend, because he could not follow, lest he become corrupt by a lesser station. We left anyway, or were decieved to go, because we have free will and we were seduced by another with free will. God cannot follow us here to personally take us home because it would be against our free will. God provided a means for us to return because of his love for us, and through our own free will we can choose to accept it. Or not, it is up to you. Hell was not created, Hell is manifested as a natural opposite to heaven. The universe at our level is duality, and it is what we are forced to deal with now by simple mechanical law. It is because it is. Now, I'm sure you've heard something like this before, and rejected it for whatever reason. That is you excercising your free will to not be saved, and I'm not interested in arguing against your free will choice. I Have made mine, and I'm happy about it. You go be happy about yours, unless you're not. If not, change it. The Christian God is corruptable? God is not omnipotent? God didn't create Hell? Then who did? I know this is going to be a rough spot for both believers and non-believers, but there are many layers to the onion of reality we find ourselves immersed in. There is, first and foremost, THE ALL. THE ALL contains all intelligence, all sentience, all conciousness, all energy, all Potential, All Time in one point. Imagine the All as a Bar Magnet, with the + End on top and the - end on the bottom. THE ALL is the Entirety of the Magnet, and contains within itself the + and the -. By virtue of being a magnet, both + and - ends simply exist, and at each polar extreme, exists the primary representatives of their attributes. The Bar Magnet is impartial to the + and the -, recognizing both as intregal to it's function. As for the + Peak, it contains the attributes: Life Love Consciousness Timelessness Bliss Family Warmth Father Male Energy Intelligence Free Will/Liberty Spirit Creativity As for the other, it contains the opposite: Death Hate Unconciousness Eternity Contempt SElfishness Cold Mother Female Energy Animal Instinct Bondage/Servitude/Slavery Matter Destruction Now at one point in timelessness we were all on the POsitive side with our "Father" at the Polar extreme. But we found out that we could lower ourselves at will to experience what existence would/could be like in a more material environment. We found that we could manipulate Matter by creating things in the spirit, and that we could manifest ourselves in the material world at will and enjoy what we've created. One of our Bretheren decided he was going to set himself up in this material world as God was set up in "Heaven" and convinced us all to join him, and we left our abode in Heaven and joined this rebel on Earth. The Earth was in perfect harmony and balance, until this new Kingdom was set up and created disharmony, unbalance, and the Earth and everyone/everything on it "Fell" out of it's station and into a less-balanced portion of Negative Polarity "space". See, Conciousness does not naturally manifest in negative space. Only free will brought it here, and now we became trapped somewhere we naturally shouldn't be. Now "The Father" or the + Polar extremity cannot enter - Space no more than the top of a bar magnet can enter the bottom, lest it cease to be a magnet altogether and all is lost. This is a model of what happened, and a model of why "God" "The Father" cannot just drop down, hang-ten, and scoop us all up back to heaven. :ritd:"You've been left on your own, like a Rainbow in the Dark" -Ronnie James Dio:ritd: |

Check out the story of the pharaoh in Egypt who hardened his heart, hardened his heart, and continued to harden his heart. Finally God said, "Ok, have it your way, and then God hardened pharaoh's heart." He gently and tenderly calls everyone to Him, but those who persist in unbelief eventually get their way, and He honors their request to be left alone. Seek and you will find. Christians give you answers. If you don't want them, don't ask. |

If i am wrong do not just say that i am an idiot, please back up your response with a logical argument from your own understanding NOT SCRIPTURE! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24992699 God loves us. God banishes Satan to live on the same planet as us and gives him the ability to corrupt us and drag us to hell. God sacrifices himself so that if you believe in him and do what it says in a book that was written by men you will be spared and satan will not get you. God can only save less than 35% of his creations. It doesnt matter how good of a person you are, if you dont believe in the holy book, you will burn in hell for eternity. But he loves us all.... a Just look at this Jesus try to get the peoples attention but everybody ignore Him like a stop street. [link to m.youtube.com] |

But I DO know that the God of the Bible does not exist. Using simple common sense, I do not believe in the gods that humans have created. First question is where is this God? Is he really just invisibly waiting around in the sky? What does this God look like? Is he human looking? Does he have a body? If he is able to prevent evil, why doesn't he? Where is heaven? Is it a real place? After living for a billion, billion years, do you think you might get a little tired of being alive? I mean, what do you do for that length of time and WHY in the hell would anyone WANT to live forever? So how do I know that Santa Claus isn't real? HE could be. There could be a little man who makes toys for all the kids, a man that rides in a sled pulled by flying reindeer? You believed that once, didn't you? So maybe that is true? So maybe I will first prove Santa, cause I believed in him first and then I'll go for God. BY SIMPLE COMMON SENSE you should KNOW that no personal God exists. I am not saying that God could not be some electromagnetic force or something that will one day be explained by science. But there is not some personal God (Santa Claus) who knows everything you do, who listens to your prayers, who wants you to worship him, who made a place called hell to punish humans, etc. That God is obviously (or at least obvious to anyone with a brain that is still thinking) NOT REAL. So what are the reasons you are clinging to this idea of God? Answer yourself truthfully and you will find that every single one of your reasons will be selfish. You want to believe because you need to think you will live forever. You need to believe that someone hears your prayers. What other reason could there be? It has to be some selfish reason. Sorry, but true. |

Or did I "take it out of context? He blinded the Pharoah so that he wouldn't let the Israelites go. GOd didn't kill the Pharaoh. No, he decided to kill all the first born CHILDREN to punish the people. IS this a GOOD GOD? Oh, I guess I took it all out of context. When you people vomit out that excuse (out of context) I translate it like this: "God can kill, rape, maim, torture, steal, lie, abuse ANYONE he wants to because he is God. (But just don't let him do this to me or anyone I love and I am scared shitless of this God because he is a barbaric warlord and I know it) I am sorry that I can see through you, right to the core.

Come on, talking donkeys, men living in the belly of a whale, the sun standing still so someone could win a battle, a god who kills the innocent to punish the guilty and on and on with this absurd list of stories that you would have to be mad to believe. I don't believe there is a God. No, I KNOW there is no God. But there is a truth that I KNOW. I DO believe in unicorns and I KNOW they exist. Just as surely as you know God exists and I am completely sure that unicorns exist. SO what I want you to do is to go out and PROVE TO ME that unicorns don't exist? YOU NEED TO DO THIS. Do you see how really stupid it is to ask ME to prove that God exists? I am not the one who believes in it. You are. So the burden of proof is on you but I guess you are too dense to understand what I am saying. Holy shit, are there really THIS many stupid people in the world? How do you know there is no God? Just because? Isnt there something in this universe (or out of it) that you might not know? Yes, there are plenty of things I don't know. And I don't claim to know everything. But I DO know that the God of the Bible does not exist. Using simple common sense, I do not believe in the gods that humans have created. First question is where is this God? Is he really just invisibly waiting around in the sky? What does this God look like? Is he human looking? Does he have a body? If he is able to prevent evil, why doesn't he? Where is heaven? Is it a real place? After living for a billion, billion years, do you think you might get a little tired of being alive? I mean, what do you do for that length of time and WHY in the hell would anyone WANT to live forever? So how do I know that Santa Claus isn't real? HE could be. There could be a little man who makes toys for all the kids, a man that rides in a sled pulled by flying reindeer? You believed that once, didn't you? So maybe that is true? So maybe I will first prove Santa, cause I believed in him first and then I'll go for God. BY SIMPLE COMMON SENSE you should KNOW that no personal God exists. I am not saying that God could not be some electromagnetic force or something that will one day be explained by science. But there is not some personal God (Santa Claus) who knows everything you do, who listens to your prayers, who wants you to worship him, who made a place called hell to punish humans, etc. That God is obviously (or at least obvious to anyone with a brain that is still thinking) NOT REAL. So what are the reasons you are clinging to this idea of God? Answer yourself truthfully and you will find that every single one of your reasons will be selfish. You want to believe because you need to think you will live forever. You need to believe that someone hears your prayers. What other reason could there be? It has to be some selfish reason. Sorry, but true. Are you really asking Christians if they think God could be human looking? Look up Jesus. He was recorded by the Jews too - why would that make sense, if it wasnt true? Also look up what Josephus and Tacitus recorded about him. The real debate (at least among Jews) is whether Jesus was the messiah or not. This billions of years nonsense needs to be dropped though. Science does not indicate that at all. |

On the one hand I don't want to hurt anyones feelings though I know I have. Sometimes you have to. On the other, I do respect and appreciate the words of Jesus as we find in various hard core gospels like Thomas and Q. I see no reason to look at "The Bible" as my only bible (lol) as it's obviously man made/edited but I will entertain the posability of divine inspiration in certain passages and not discount it as a source reference and it can be inspirational. For example The Bible doesn't include full charts of the corespondences of the Choir of Arch-Angels and Angels nor does it include Enochian, the angelic language. Well thats a damn big omission! Nor does it include Quabalah which is extremely important, nor does it include PROPERLY the knowledge of Light and Darkness and that is a serious sin, the not telling of. From my perspective I see nothing but omisions and secrecy from all thre Abrahamic religions which instead adopt "faith" as opposed to truth. It's very sad really. Frater LVX! |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 20657814 United States 02/16/2013 12:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No human can convince another human that they are lost....only God through the working of the Holy Spirit. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 32478829 How can you desire to be saved......without first knowing that you are lost???? I therefore hope and pray that God will visit people......and show you 1:1 the truth of your situation. No human can convince another mortal that they are mortal. Many people have a deep need to live forever and they can't live without that fantasy. So they invent Gods so that they can have that hope. Life is hard and humans don't want this to be all there is. They NEED to have more, but then humans always need to have more. So no one can convince them because they prefer to live in a fantasy world. It is just easier that way. They never need to grow up. Inside the really do know that it isn't real. Of course, they are scared to death of questions then. And when atheists come along with questions, they don't read them or they run away. So they pray to this God (whatever version of God they believe in, and there are many) that others will become like them. It is called comfort in numbers. Maybe 1:1 will allow you to see the real TRUTH of your situation, they self-righteously say, not that I am up on the Christian lingo to have any idea what 1:1 is, or not that I would care. I have grown up long ago and have no desire to be saved. I can save myself and I am not lost. I have no need for an imaginary friend or a crutch because I can stand on my own. I hope you one day come to your senses and realize you have been conned. I used to be a Christian, just like you, gurgled out the same garbage that you just did. That is why I am so disgusted. I came to my senses and I just imagine that everyone could do the same thing. I realized how selfish I was. I was like you, I didn't really care that God created a hell to punish many humans for eternity. After all, he was god, he could do anything he pleased. Well, now I love people in their as is condition. I don't try to turn them into christians, like you just did. I feel sorry for you. I really do. |

Or did I "take it out of context? He blinded the Pharoah so that he wouldn't let the Israelites go. GOd didn't kill the Pharaoh.
