and this is exactly why this world is still going...

Yahaveh is long suffering....he does not want to lose any of his children...so he will let us continue destroying ourselves letting us think we can rule our selves until we go so far as to destroy everything....

then he will put a stop to it....


personally I think it is over due....but I am not the creator nor do I think as him....I am just the clay....I have no business to tell the molder what to do with his creations.....

Yahaveh/Jehova's witness?

My answer is still: No. I don't believe in a "soul" or "spirit" that cannot be defined by the parameters of the natural world. When scientists speak of the soul (if at all), it's usually in a materialistic context, or treated as a poetic synonym for the mind. Everything knowable about the "soul" can be learned by studying the functioning of the brain. In their view, neuroscience is the only branch of scientific study relevant to understanding the soul. Of course, most spiritual people view the soul as emphatically more definitive than the scientific concept. It's considered the incorporeal essence of a person, and is said to be immortal and transcendent of material existence. I don't believe in that.
not that i'm saying what you believe is wrong but, if we were to follow the logic of being defined by the parameters of the natural world, plants would not be classified as alive in any sense. think about it...

Sure they would. Plants are alive, because we say so. "Life" is just a human definition of complex chemical processes. Nothing more.

Oh, and that definition isn't terribly specific btw. There is a lot of discussion in the scientific community of just where to draw the line.

None of that makes any sense to me.

I hate to say it...but I am not surprised.

I do not say that in disrespect....

"....Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4 They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” 5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. 6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. 7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.

8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance"





Yahaveh/Jehova's witness?

no "J" in Hebrew...it is Yahaveh.....and jesus is also wrong...his name is Yeshua.....

if you could find an early(very early say 1611) KJV Bible the name "jesus" is no where in it...the word used is "Iesus" a translation of Yeshua...

the one thing I do agree with the Jahovehs witness...is the fact that Yeshua, never died on a "cross" he was pinned to a tree.(the greek word for cross IIRC is "stauros" which means "stake" the cross was a pagan symbol the catholics brought into their religion...

but they call him jesus just like the rest of the world....and they know that Jahoveh is incorrect...but humans are stubborn creatures.

No it is in no way disrespectful to call me evil and tell me I'm going to burn in hell for not believing in your God. If I were to be frightened by the threat of damnation I would have to do some considerable research into which Hell is the worst... Because if I choose to worship your God then I will surely be dammed by a hundred other Gods, and their followers.

As you point out, there are problems with books translated numerous times, especially when we are talking about poetry.

This.

INK, you strongly believe you are correct. But so do many others who believe in a god or many gods that share nothing with your narrow interpretation of him. They all believe they are right, and many also have a book explaining the origins of our world. They are all just about as likely to be correct.


Now if you believe god gave us free will, it must also follow that god will accept our choices, and act in his own time regardless of our choices. If this is not the case, and he is waiting for us all to accept what you purport to be the truth, he would not have given us free will. He'll also more than likely be waiting until the last human dies.



Out of curiosity, how would you reconcile the existence of extraterrestrial life? Given the size of the universe, its VERY probable we have some company somewhere. But lets say that hypothetically we find sentient life on a world in the Epsilon Eridani system.

i can answer that one but right now it's just a theory...plenty of circumstantial evidence exists on our planet, just not enough to conclusively say one way or the other.

Oh, and that definition isn't terribly specific btw. There is a lot of discussion in the scientific community of just where to draw the line.
so you believe plants are alive yet the idea of an energy or force that exists within all living organisms isn't believable?

An energy or "life force" that exists outside the realm of the physical world? No, that is not believable.
