The Creator God is not the God of the dead but the living. Acts 17:22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. The gospel of Jesus Christ is simplicity. Put away sin (transgression of Gods Law), and enter into life. |

The Universe is a magical place, and for many reasons. |

We are here and it is all like this for a reason. If I were to stand in front of a packed auditorium and explain the mysteries of the universe and the way everything works for a whole semester, then tested everyone on the subject matter and everyone failed and got 0%, would it have been important? When the one great scorer comes to write against your name, he writes not that you won or lost but how you played the game. The stance and stare of a wolf you find yourself alone with will tell you that he is prepared to treat you as you would treat him. Whether that comforts or frightens you, he has told you all you need know about both. |

You'll find many cases of people being able to observe, see, and hear things that are occuring many miles away from their physical body, and this info is then verified to be true after the experience. In addition they sometimes go to heavenly realms and speak with a deceased relative, and find out info from the deceased, that's then later proven to be true. |

Quoting: rockstar101 We are here and it is all like this for a reason. If I were to stand in front of a packed auditorium and explain the mysteries of the universe and the way everything works for a whole semester, then tested everyone on the subject matter and everyone failed and got 0%, would it have been important? I see what you're saying--yes, the conscious universe is subjective,as all is mind. So I would give 100% to anyone who wrote "Reality is mind; it is all subjective"--in this sense, everyone getting a 0 would imply that they still treat science as a religion, not a tool. Science is a wonderful thing, but it is ONLY a tool that uses evidence to make predictions--induction. Ontology--the nature of existence--is not best explored by science right now because our instruments don't measure the right things, and maybe never can. Yes there are things like the double slit experiment which show the ambiguous nature of reality, but they are adjuncts to intuition and deduction--the true tools for exploring the nature of God and existence. Chaos and Order, Tiamat and Abzu. In Love and War, Blessed be me and you. ;) |
