Religion & Spirituality - 29 May 2007

I've gone to various places like Tahiti, Kosta Rika, Argentina, Peru, The Netherlands, Celebes, Bali, Java, and India just to see a walking decomposing corpse...

And yes corpses walk, 5h1t happens. The only thing is they do not permit me take picz to show you. I did several times with a hidden cam (with digitals and old & busted films) but somehow the pictures didn't come out - I think they use somekind of magnetic stuff.

How do U explain these?

5h1t happens

I asked if faith (belief without evidence) has a place in daily life. People came up with several answers...all based on evidence. People talked about sitting in chairs, like it's the first time they've ever TRIED it. I think some definition pruning is in order... It's not "faith" that the sun will come up tomorrow, it's a lifetime-long trend that is apparent to everyone. Now, thinking you'll find yourself in front of a giant old man who loves you, moments after you die....that's faith...unless, of course you consider the BIBLE to be evidence...then you're just confused.

Revelation 16:2-14 2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. 3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. 4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. 8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. 9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. 10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain... 12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. 13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

Revelation 19:13-18 13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. 17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; 18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

why did JC do that?

Revelation 20:11-15 11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 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.

In this case ignorant of what the Bible teaches.

I get the impression that all they do is visit Atheist websites and cut and paste.

Have any Atheists every done any legitimate research with an open mind. Open to all possibilities.

Or have all Atheists simply maintained their previous biases and forced conclusions that do not fit. For example, teaching that the world came into order out of Chaos.

How foolish is that idea?

Can God have an orgasm? The mere posing of the question is bound to offend the religious sensibility of many people, and many would refuse even to consider the question from fear that God - who is privy to their every thought - would seriously disapprove of any such blasphemous curiosity. But this question raises a serious problem about the nature of God that dates back to the skeptics of ancient Greece.

If we suppose that God can feel physical sensations of any kind, then we must also suppose that God is a corporal entity, a physical organism with the capacity to experience sensations. And this supposition, aside from conflicting with the notion that God is a purely spiritual being, carries with it the disturbing implication that God is subject to change and so cannot be immutable. To experience a sensation, after all, is to experience a change from one state to another, so if God is able to feel anything we cannot regard him as immutable, because this means the absence of any change whatsoever.

Moreover, the notion that God can feel sensations and is therefore subject to change is clearly incompatible with the absolute perfection of God. For consider: If we suppose God to be perfect, then any change must necessarily be for the worse, after which he will no longer be perfect. If, on the other hand, we suppose that any change in God is necessarily for the better, then this means that God was less than perfect prior to the change.

These and similar arguments were first proposed by the skeptics of ancient Greece, who showed that the traditional conception of God (or the gods) is self-contradictory and therefore incoherent. The only way out of this conceptual morass is to say that God, who never changes, does not experience sensations or feelings of any kind, as we understand those terms. But this assumption brings with it a new set of problems. For example, if God is unable to experience pain, then there is at least one thing that we humans (who are quite familiar with this sensation) know that God does not, in which case God cannot be omniscient. For we can never know the meaning of "pain" unless we have experienced this sensation for ourselves. "Pain" must be defined ostensively, i.e., through direct experience, so a being who has never felt pain can never know the meaning of "pain."

Thus if God has never felt physical sensations of any kind, then there are many things of which he is necessarily ignorant, things that are known to his creatures but not to their creator. Most people have experienced an orgasm, but can the same be said of God? If the answer is yes, then we confront the previously discussed conflict between change and immutability, as well as that between change and perfection. If the answer is no, then we might ask why God has never had an orgasm. Is this because he will not or because he cannot have this experience? In the former case, although many things are presently unknown to God, he could acquire this knowledge if he so chose. In the latter case, God is forever barred from knowing many things that we humans know quite well. In either case, however, God cannot be all-knowing, because he must totally ignorant of sensory knowledge.

Quote: "We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born"

This is a word for word quote:
Read it again , Utter nonsense isn't it , it implies there are some people who aren't born!?. (this actually sounds like something a Buddhist or Daoist might say, implying that there are actually a whole host of people waiting to be born!?)

And i bet those who defend it will say it has to be read 'in context' , well NO actually, sentences (written by a scientist in particular) should be fully intelligable by themselves.
Agree?
And no i am not a religious person in any way , i am a rational agnostic looking for intelligent insights into our existence. Dawkins needs to cut back on his attempt to make sensationalist bestsellers and get back to proper observation.He exagerates the threat from religions massively, the west is more secular than ever

I seek to study Islam, and especially the similiarities between it and Christianity. Too, as a human being, as an American who is not convinced by what I read about it, or see on such TV outlets as Fox, I seek a more complete understanding of Islam.

"…. the most perverted system that ever shone on man....Rogueries, absurdities and untruths were perpetrated upon the teachings of Jesus by a large band of dupes and importers led by Paul [Rabbi Saul], the first great corrupter of the teaching of Jesus." ------ Thomas Jefferson


Paul speaking :

Gal 4:14 And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, [even] as Christ Jesus.


Satan can come in many forms to mislead Mankind.

Satan is called a "Spirit" in the Bible.
Ephesians 2:2----Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

Satan can disguise himself as an Angel of Light.
2 Corinthians 11:14---- And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

Many accounts in the early Torah/Old Testament indicate that early humans had multi-hundred year life spans. By later years, and certainly no later than New Testament times, we see humans with lifespans more comparable to our own. Is there a specific point in the Bible where we can see this shift? Are there Talmudic commentaries that explain why this shift occurred? Was the shift gradual or sudden?

And, of course, non-JudeoChristians can answer, but I'm looking specifically for this shift. In fact, just pretend like I'm talking about the story of the Bible, and conducting literary analysis--I'm looking for, within the context of that story, when the shift occurred, and what the "author's" reasoning for the shift was.

When we decide it's not important to empathize with another person, we are basically deciding they are not a person anymore. Wheter it's a slave, or an infidel, or a child murderer, we come up with ways to justify NOT empathizing with the person. It stops mattering to us, then, if they miss their children, love their family, or get raped in prison. We do it all the time. But is it right? Our morality, I think, is based on empathy for others...we care about their feelings because we care about FEELINGS we relate to. Do we lose our morality when we quit caring about the feelings of a killer, or a Jew? Is there any justifiable reason to "yank" our empathy out from under another person, ever?

Does man have a soul within and if so what happens to it at death?

Can a soul die? Does it have immortality? or do we all simply die at death and our life ceases to exist?
