No, I follow the mantra of my ancestors.

Cattle die
Kinsmen die
The self will also die
I know what never dies
The deeds of dead men

Cattle die
Kinsmen die
The self will also die

Glory is forever

I'll call out radicals when i see them in any form. How often do you see ppl blowing themselves up crying out "deus vult!"??. If there were radical christians running over children a la truck of peace I would condemn them too. Christianity has become tame over the years after being reformed a million times over unlike Islam.

On the other hand, "Moderate" muslims generally dont condemn the actions of radical muslims and instead cry out about how theyre being victimized or yammer on about muh islamophobia. Alot of them secretly get a hard on over these attacks and preach about it in their mosques.

Beats going to heaven which is full of pretentious and obnoxious fuckheads.

In all seriousness however Christians always talk of how everyone deserves hell. If that's the case why should we try to get into heaven, wouldn't the noble thing be to accept the punishment for our crimes? After all if you committed a murder which would be more moral accepting a life in prison or begging the judge for forgiveness and suffering no punishment for your crime?
>>
>>138608152
They're not claims. It's what happened.

Did you forget "Light, be!" was the first command? There was plenty of light before God put light into the sun. God Himself is light.

The bible gets the chronological order right; mankind gets it wrong.

There was a flood.

Noah only needed 50,000 pairs of animals to create what we see today. So about 1/3 of the space in the ark.

To show you His glory, and His power, and to create signs to show you what is going to happen, and what is happening. To guide men by night. To create in humanity an awe of the universe he made.

I don't understand why you have a problem with the order in which God made things. Birds can live just fine without animals; animals can live just fine without birds.

God collected them all. Ever notice animals have a sense of impending doom? Ever notice animals don't get caught in earthquakes and tsunamis? Multiply that times a thousand, and add the guiding power of God for them to get to Noah (over a 100 year period).

After all, which is the more difficult? To speak the creation into existence, or to cause animals to go to the ark?

That includes all of them, all their food, everything. "Noah's Ark: A Feasibility Study" is still for sale if you're interested in the specifics.

No, I'm just stating that you obviously are smug about some sort of (((knowing the truth))) while you clearly haven't done anything but watching a vid about how some questional internetz-atheist interprets the Bible, instead of reading it yourself and research what the Church has to say about it.

There are no transitional fossils; they gave up and just said all fossils are transitional fossils.

And all of the fossils were created at the flood, for the most part, and 95% of those are small sea dwelling creatures that were buried at the bottom of the sea, yet often found at the tops of the mountains.

the flood was an ELE, not a rainy month. The water did not recede for over a year; every volcano went off; all the fountains of the deep came up. The world broke apart soon afterwards.

Let's see if this is correct. The Flood was (according to the bible) not longer ago than 4,400 years.
How do you explain the fossils of carnivores before that time? What did carnivores like crocodiles, felines, canines, bears etc. descend from?

You'll never see that which is plain to most men until you humble yourself or are humbled by circumstances. Most atheists when broken see God but just curse him.

"I am the Bread of Life" is an obvious instance of someone using a metaphor, but there is absolutely no indication or reason to believe that Genesis was meant purely as a metaphor.

Slapping a TV or computer in front of them instead of actual parenting does that just fine, and isn't defined by religiousness of the parents.

Why I'm Buddhist? Because the underlying ontology of Buddhism (Madhyamaka) makes more sense than the Christian theistic one.

Are you a Muslim?
Yes, I know of Plato's theory. Do you know of Aristotle's critique of Plato? (or Plato's OWN critique of his own theory in "Parmenides"? Parmenides is a fantastic Platonic dialogue)

Plato was actually aware of the problems with his theory.

To put it in simple terms, you ask yourself does the idea of "equality" have a form? The Idea of Equality (or the Form of Equality) - then you ask does Difference, too, have a form?

And then you ask, is the Form of Equality EQUAL or DIFFERENT to the Form of Difference?

ok let's say you say "different" - does THIS difference also have a Form, and is this form the same or not the same as the difference between non-forms?

if it's different, then you have infinite regression because you'll need to create infinite forms of difference

if not, then you have a contradiction, too, because the difference on the level of appearances cannot be the same as the difference on the level of forms, or else you lose the difference between appearances and forms

Those who ask "Why is there such bad atrocities in the world, why is there dying and starving children, murder, etc." God gave us free will and we choose to let these things happen. Instead of spending money on ourselves and resources for dumbass Marvel movies that cost billions of dollars just for meaningless entertainment, we could have used that money to save the world and punish folks who commit the crimes.

It isn't. It was written by the hands of men who at best sought to keep the wild, ruthless men of the world under some form of control and, at worst, sought to subjugate the local populace. Given the overbearing heat of the desert, as well as the lack of water, they probably weren't well of mind at the time as well.
In addition, you sight this book as proof something divine exists. No arguments for it or against me, no discourse or theorizing, you just plucked it strait from the Bible and expect it to be good enough.
So yeah, it's still fucking nothing.

The statement "Everything is unique" is contradictory, too, because if everything is unique, everything is THE SAME in its uniqueness. So everything is absolutely non-unique in being unique.

God created angels. God put one angel in charge over all the rest of them, and he was the one who led the assembly of the angels, and he is the one who led the worship of God. He stood before the throne of God. He was the second highest being in existence.

Not good enough. He wanted to be the first; he wanted to be worshiped like God.

So the angel God created, through pride and through a failed coup and rebellion against God, turned himself into the devil. And all of the angels under his direct authority that were in his rebellion, 1/3 of the heavenly host, became demons under his authority.

OK, this is how a Buddhist would prove demons are empty and not inherently existing:

1) demons are self-created because they are angels who went over to the dark side

2) but their existence depends on them not-being-angels anymore. depends on what they negated. the negated angelic reality

3) and that angelic reality depends on God who created them

so demons' existence depends on the non-demonic, and so "demon" lacks inherent existence and it's dependently-arisen and thus empty

(by empty we do not mean non-existent)

It's not failing to be 100% precise and accurate at all. Just as the bible prophesied, Zion was born in one day, and her children were citizens that very same day. May 14, 1948.

Out of the dead bones, out of the holocaust, that was also prophesied in the very same prophecy.

And thriving and flourishing like a rose in the desert, again, from that same prophecy.

Nobody can see the end from the beginning except for God. Nostradamus is 8% correct and people still think he was a seer. Even though he confessed to consorting with demons of divination.

>I need a real reason to accept christianity

Read Nabeel Quresh's "Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus". It will give you the reasons you seek.

Your plan may harden your heart and sear your conscience to the point where repentance is not possible.

Bad planning.

Lost how?

Ah, then how do you think you can escape the thing waiting at the end of the tunnel? Think of it why would you a human being reach for an ant inside the ant tunnel when you can grab him when he comes out for food. You'll receive punishment when you die if you do not see the light I pray for you to and I pray for your soul if you don't. Care or not I love you anon and I wish for you to be one with God but you must make the transition.

It's when you can perceive the true nature of the world. This is also what it means to be an uebermensh.

And this is supposed to be proof how? So long as the deceptive Jews still exist in society, they would want to rebuild Israel as a manner of gaining massive political power. In fact, given what we know about Jews, it is entirely possible that the only reason they wanted to rebuild it was to fulfill this prophesy, in hopes of bringing about the end of the world. Though admittedly that is just speculation on my part.

So we're all going to be given a chance to be able to genuinely believe in God?
Because anyone would take that deal if offered. It's not out of some spiteful rebelliousness that ANYONE is atheistic, it's just without anything solid (even just a vivid experience) people can't believe in it all.
Unless they were indoctrinated as children of course.

Born spiritually dead, remaining spiritually dead, to be sorted with the spiritually dead.

Never regaining the life that Adam and Eve lost when they fell from grace, and made people like us in their lost and fallen image.

Lost as in hellbound. Lost as in joining the losing side of a war that's already over, and joining the losing side.

The bible is a self-proving document in that it tells the end from the beginning. For instance, right now we are in Ezekiel 37, and headed for Ezekiel 38.
>>
>>138616168

Then why not just let me in for the shit of it, regardless of what I believe. If all it takes is one simple thing, then why do I need to do that one thing. why not just skip it and let me in?
>>
>>138616353
You've already been given that chance, and yes, everybody has at least one. Nobody is out of reach for the Holy Spirit of God.

I agree that I think everybody would take that deal if offered.

It's just not so.

>>138616536
Because God will not transform you away from what you are and into a new creation without your consent, nor will he force you to believe in him and love him.

God is Love, not rape.

>>138616324
That is a common tactic used by secret societies. They say you are "lost" because you don't know or understand hidden knowledge that they have.

This create a desire for you to want to know more, thus reeling you into their claws like fish. It was developed by Aristotle, using the phrase fishing for men. They develop rhetoric, or ways of speaking falsehoods, truths or whatever words are necessary for brainwashing their followers.

>>138616327

So if you love everyone, like jezuz wants you to. Are you going to be sad in heaven when most people are burning in hell?
>>
>>138616670
It's also true that most people are lost, and some people are saved.

And the phrase "I will make you fishers of men" appears in the bible, many times. It's a pretty common analogy.
>>
>>138616726
No.
>>
>>138616726
Yes of course I will pray everyday for them to be saved.

Because it's a contractual arrangement. If you don't perform your side of the contract; you don't get the benefits.

If I was born spiritually dead, then aren't I playing in a rigged game? With no chance of winning?
>>
>>138616602
>You've already been given that chance
No I haven't.
Hearing that some belief exists isn't the same as being able to follow it, or we could be hindu/buddhist. Even if you earnestly went through the motions you couldn't truly believe in them because you weren't brought up with them.
>>
>>138616835
Yes, you were born into hopelessness and condemnation.

Yes, there is a chance of winning.
>>
>>138616661

I agree, why then won't he walk into my room right now and be like "Yo mah nigga, I'm real, think about it, weigh your options brudduh."
>>
>>138616866
You've heard Jesus is God; you've heard God raised Jesus from the dead; you've been told that if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

You resist it to your own destruction, because mankind is hopelessly broken.

>>138616964
He's set things up so finely balanced that if you want to believe in him, the evidence is overwhelming.

And if you don't want to believe in him, you have the capacity to overcome that overwhelming evidence with sheer rebellion and will.

>>138616786
Yeah it wasn't invented by Jesus or Aristotle, it was a common proverb. Just Aristotle employed it, like Jesus did.

Another example that Jesus did not reviece his words from god.

I am, but I am so full of questions and worries.

I can understand and appreciate the Bible from a philosophical standpoint and most parts, to me, do indeed coincide with what I can imagine is the will of God.

God for me seems to be our innermost conscience and ''voice'', our thoughts and ideas. The Holy spirit if you will. Our connection to the universe and beyond, after all John 1 implies the ''Word'' is Jesus and was with the Father all along, the Father I imagine is the everlasting meaning. A wave of sheer existence not confided to a singular physical label.

It is also mentioned that the Law of God is written unto all of us by nature meaning no one is truly lost from God and instead the thoughts manifested in our mind will either do the will of God, the grand binary alternative to the will of the Devil. That is to say the ''Bad''.

I am perhaps most afraid, I suppose is the appropriate term, of Heaven. Paradoxically Heaven sounds like Hell to me.

Suffering and opposition is essential to life, in fact the Bible stresses that it is through suffering we grow. In a place where there is no suffering there can be no life, and yet Heaven is... Eternal life?

Color me how ever you will, lost, unsaved, foolish or arrogant. But I just cannot reconcile my faith while staying true to my inquisitive nature of wanting to understand WHO God is, and if I can already do so; accepting that God is in us all as we are in Him.

>Wall of confusion

>>138617063
Jesus is God, and did not say or do anything that was not directly from the Father.
>>
>>138616804

Then you don't give a shit about them, I would care if someone I loved was set on fire, even if it was temporary. You don't seem to care if they burn for the rest of time. You are a monster.

>>138617065
Not all who wander are lost anon if you profess Christ your lord and strive to make yourself better you are saved.
