Ok, deep deep question?

Question

So let's say i invented a time machine, folded space upon space, etc etc. I went back to biblical times and KILLED noah and yadda yadda yadda, blew up his boat taht he was just finishing, and rambo'd all the million species x2 in his aircraft carrier. Then i would kill anyone who was in the bible. God himself maybe.

So would i be smote, or could i pay a priest money for him to forgive me?

Answer 1

That is not deep, it's nonsense.

Answer 2

You have just killed the priest as well LOL and now there is no hope for you either, but your immagination is good, I immagined if I could change the circumstances in the world and thought of a way to change the future, instead of the passed, and stopped all the wars and rumours of wars. Plus all the earthquakes to come and all the othr atrocities, would Jesus still come again? The answer is yes, because God's Word is His Word and no-one can change that LOL!!! So forget it and accept Christ into your life and live for Him - this will already make a better place of this world.

Answer 3

Well if you believe in the biblical story of Noah then you would also be forced to believe that to kill Noah and his family would mean the extinction of the human race. It says in the story that everyone besides Noah and his family was killed in the flood so if you killed them there'd be no one left. There would be no humans and no animals, besides for some sea creatures and bacteria which could have survived the mass flooding.

And no humans means that you were never born and could never have gone back in time anyways doesnt it? Noah would already be killed by you yet you had never existed. Understanding time travel sucks.

Answer 4

OK. So this is all assuming that you're Catholic, right, because if not, God immediately smites you and you're in Hell regardless of what the priest says, right? Now if you were even able to go back in time (safety not guarenteed), and you ramboed all the species that He created into a million pieces of slop, where the **** would you be? You wouldn't be there, because by ******* the past, by destroying life in the past, you screw it up for the present. And you came from the present, so you **** yourself over. Really hard. In the ***.
So your question shouldn't be wheather you will be forgiven, rather you should wonder what the **** will happen to you.

Answer 5

Not deep. Kinda dumb. I mean, if you killed a fictional character in a book filled with fictions, what purpose would it serve? Just makes the book shorter.

However - if you're a believer - there would be no priest, because there would be no religion, because there would be no people, because there would be nothing here on the planet, because there would be no God. Then you would disappear, along with your machine.

Nice try at existentialism.

Answer 6

Since we most likely live in a multiverse, by going back in time and commiting those heinous deeds, you would have simply created an alternate timeline. God, the creator of the grand multiverse, would be unaffected. Would God take notice of your antics? That is an interesting question to ponder.

Answer 7

Well thats amazing. So first we go back in time, and destroy something that God designed, and killed Noah. Now you have just set the whole world into a paradox. You killed off the human race; including your ancestors.

So now we have an offshoot timeline with nothing in it. Thanks,

Answer 8

This question assumes that Noah was an actual person. Considering that I have studied the "flood" stories and that the oldest story of a great flood comes from Hinduism in the Matsya Purana and the "Noah" is named Manu and that the exact same story then appears in Zoroastrian texts except that Manu now has a Persian name and then we know from Babylonian sources that they site the Zoroastrians as being their source for the story and then one can easily conclude that the Hebrews adopted the story when they were exiled in Babylon and changed it to fit into their religion. Thus you'd have trouble finding Noah, but you might find Manu. However, considering that Hindus point out that there stories are mythological and meant to reflect the inner aspects of ourselves (mind, spirit, etc) and how it is that God helps us achieve moksha. Thus one can then conclude that the story about Manu and Matsya isn't true, but instead that Manu and the various other characters in the story represent some idea about the inner self and the fact that it is set within a story whereby Manu has to gather up animals and seeds for plants and put them on the boat represent the connection between humanity (the word manu is used also means "humanity" in Hindu texts) and nature. Finally Matsya represents God (in the form of a fish). The begining of the story reflects compassion and kindness and then this compassion and kindness is reciprocated (Manu saves the fish, raises him until he outgrows all containers and then Manu releases the fish into the ocean whereby Matsya thanks Manu and warns him that the ice from the north is melting and strong storms are coming so the rivers will flood and the oceans will rise and that Manu has a certain length of time by which to build a boat and gather all the animals and seeds....perhaps just those in danger rather than the entire world, but the story isn't specific). Then the boat is adrift in the ocean and Matsya, now having grown a horn, has Manu throw out a rope whereby Matsya then pulls the boat to the nearest shore and there Manu releases the animals (in the story the time spent on the boat is less than 40 days) and plants the seeds. Manu is thankful towards Matsya. Thus the story reflects the following : first humanity saves God and allows God to live with humanity where humanity takes care of God then after God can no longer be contained humanity liberates God back into the ocean whereby God, being grateful, warns humanity of impending natural danger and suggests how to avoid it. Then after humanity has done this and is now far from land and wandering aimlessly, God comes back and saves humanity. (recognize any common theological themes yet?) To take this even further, as Hindus would, the story reflects whereby in the begining we are aware of our divine nature and thus treat ourselves respectfully. However soon the containers (our body) grow to be too small for God and our ego and so we let go of our true nature, the divine spark of God within us, to make room for our ego (which views itself seperate from all things, including God). However, God always shows us a way back towards Itself (the ocean is often a metaphor) and suggestions are made (the many paths-yogas, and religions) to help lead you back to God. However because the world can sometimes cause us to wander and lose sight of goal (moksha: union with God) and so God is ever ready to help pull us closer to It whenever we throw out a rope (do our spiritual practices).

So that's the story. About the only Biblical characters known to possibly exist are Joseph, Moses, and so on throughout the historical texts (David, Jonathan, etc) and Jesus and his disciples and the apostles. And though they may in fact be historical figures (just as there very well could have been a person named Manu...in fact there have been several, but we're talking about the first one named Manu) we always have to consider the stories surrounding them to be somewhat mythological (because the ancients used mythologize tales....mythologize in the sense that there is imagery and language that had specific meaning to the people of the culture telling the story..which sadly is almost but lost in translation to us today). A good example of common mythological symbolism: birds, mountains, streams, oceans, boats, wheels, swords, and so on. Sometimes a culture understood the names of the people not as names, like we think of names today, but as a symbol as well (almost all Hindu deity names are description names of God...Hindus believe in one God, they many images are merely symbols as are the names...Vinyaka means "remover of obstacles", for example and the elephant head of Vinyaka (also known as Ganesh, Ganapati...those names have symbolic meaning too) represents "remover of obstacles" as in ancient India elephants were used much like we use bulldozers today...so if we were like our ancients we would use a symbol of a bulldozer instead of an elephant because we know what the bulldozer does and if someone showed us a picture of a bulldozer or in a story mentioned a bulldozer we'd understand that things were being removed, destroyed, and/or taken down. A good example of modern symbolism: the Statue of Liberty, the American bald eagle, or national/regional flags. Another good example is corporate logos. If you see two golden double arches, you know that is a McDonald's...even if it doesn't say it below on the sign. And you know what a McDonald's is. That's the power of symbolism and that's what the ancients used a lot in their stories. Just imagine that you wrote down a story and used the imagery of two golden arches and you knew your audience would know that it means McDonald's, but now thousands of years later people are reading the story and do not have McDonald's and thus get a little confused about what exactly is "two golden double arches" and why it is even mentioned at all within the other context of the story).

Answer 9

Paying a priest wouldn't get you anywhere, back then or now. Since that wasn't in God's plan I doubt you would get very far. You been watching way too much SciFi.

Answer 10

It is very clear that you are not smart enough to invent a time machine. So the rest of your question is just junk.

if you can kill God, then he isnt God.

You can give me 2 dollars, i will forgive you, fool, lol

Answer 11

look there is no proof Noah existed, and there is no proof there was a flood. SO if you DID go back through time, all you might get is like the black plague or something.
