I hear so many Creationist arguing with Evolutionsts about God's role in our complex Universe. I would like to say that human life is 3rd on the list of miracles God performed. My thoughts are like this:

1) God created the cosmos from nothing
2) God created life from the cosmos
3) Humans were created after simple life (it's in Genesis)

Thanks!!!!

1. If evil is a figment of our imagination, then what is evil in the world?

2. If we use our imagination as the vehicle that guides our reasoning into the realm that it can not comprehend, then the imagination turns into the essence of the light of intelligence. Now, the question is, what does that us?

Numbers 21:5 - 6 details how Jehovah was tested by the Israelites grumbling and how He subsequently sent serpents among them as chastisement.

1 Corinthians 10:9 also relates to this same incident. However, citing the example of God's discipline of the Israelites, (in the original Greek) the apostle Paul writes that the believer's should not "mede ekpeirazo CHRISTOS" (caps for emphasis) . That is, they should not test CHRIST (as the Israelites tested Him in the desert).

How does the Watchtower justify rendering "Christos" as Jehovah in the New World Translation ?

Thanks in advance for all answers.

I have always loved Buddists.

Do you:

1 Find it hard when Christians constantly say the only way to Heaven is through Jesus

2 Find true peace and comfort in meditation?

3 Have higher poswers or spirit guides that speak to you in meditations

4 Have an easy book for me to read about your way of life?

and 5 Like the teachings of Jesus

Please try and answer each question

I had to re-post because it seems quite a few of you did not understand the initial question.

Have been "borrowed" from other religions, from the holy trinity to the son of god. How then can you say that your faith is the only "true" one??? Nearly everything you're taught to believe about your god some other religion believed about their gods long before your faith was even brought into existance. So how can you justify calling your faith the "one true path" and don't use scriptures. That's like picking up a random play from shakespear to prove a point about Plato.

Why would God allow someone to have a heart attack, go through open-heart surgery, then get colon cancer, go through bowel resection surgery and chemo & radiation, be declared cancer-free, then 2 weeks later die of a stroke? I really don't understand these life lessons. What could He want us to learn from this?

Who knows the totality of knowledge because he is that knowledge? Who knows himself through the ontological conclusion based off the conscious existence of his living entity?

And the last question is, who understands but does not know the thinker?

Scientists have yet to prove the theory that race exists. At this point in time it has not proven to exist or not exist. If it was proven that race did NOT exist, do you think racism would still exist?

I propose a boycott on debating any of this propaganda science until a creation "scientist" publishes a paper that details testable proofs and provides hard evidence. This paper should be subject to review by the scientific community the same way every scientific theory is tested. If the creationists cannot do this then they are admitting that creationism is not science. If we debate this nonsense before they have provided any proof we give their argument an air of credibility that it doesn't deserve.

Either they give with the proof or we don't want to talk about it. When a creationist wins a nobel prize they can teach this crap in schools.

What science will be safe from biblical interpretation if we don't do something. First its evolution, now its the young earth thing with dinosuars and humans living together like the Flintstones. What's next? Another the flat earth is the center of the universe philosophy?

Jesus openly says if you are ashamed of Him, he will be ashamed of you at your judgment.

What do you think this means?

In Germany & Austria its illigal to be a Nazi, in Britain you can get arrested for speaking publicly on any subject considered to incite hate....is this denying free speach? The EU is considering making holocaust denial a crime despite some academics questioning the extent & evidence we are told to believe. Does the government in any country have the right to to dictate an individuals belief & censure a persons right to voice an opinion? Are we heading for a situation where we are only allowed to hold state santioned beliefs?

there r so many religions in this world; why do u believe in your religion? & what is the proof of it?


thnx! im just curious....

Because you deny GOD? do you consider yourselves the top dog of your own universe? or are you all just a legend in your own mind?

I say this really, because I believe the moment you have to stare death in the face your reality will be much greater than just being worm food for eternity.

Why don't you ask GOD into your heart? he comes to everyone who has a sincere heart to listen?

ok
so i was just thinking..
What if the gov is not telling all the truth, and hiding lot of information about the military true technological power and activities, and all the secret stuff...
(besides the fact that many people couldnt prob handle the truth...)
what if they re not telling people the truth because Aliens are already among us, so the safest way to protect us is by being very carfeful with what they reveal etc etc

maybe u ve allready thought about this but..

..what do you think?
