    Did Jesus say he was God???

    A knowledge of nature can be very important if one tribe builds their village in the flood plain and another builds there's on a slightly more elevated location. When the flood waters come it will wipe out one but not the one that was higher. Now we say both tribes are ignorant of this deliema...

    Did Jesus say he was God???

    I'll explain this in a simple metaphor. If you have a child and that child runs into the road. When you discipline him and he ask why what he did wrong you would not tell him because Jesus says so and he is God, rather you would explain to him the dangers that exist and that you don't want to...

    Did Jesus say he was God???

    What I can say in repect to Christ based on biblical readings is that he is above all the other prophets in that he seemed to convene mind to mind rather then lucid visions of angels or burning bushes. his knowledge and wisdom did come from something higher not supernatural but perhaps as...

    Did Jesus say he was God???

    I don't believe the case of atheist is not that they think the bible is not true just not the abosolute truth(gods word, divine inspired) some as my self believe they are narrations of events written by persons other then those who were present at the time these events occurred and it's their...

    What led you to your current religion/lack thereof?

    Thats the same journey I found I will always continue to Learn and understand "To know how little one knows is to have genuine knowledge. Not to know how little one knows is to be deluded. Only he who knows when he is deluded can free himself from such delusion. The intelligent man is not...

    Did Jesus say he was God???

    This is very true, I would also like to add that former Christians who truly held a fear of hell would not jump off the band wagon with out some definitive research first.

    Did Jesus say he was God???

    When I was a Christian I was entranced by the miracles(magic tricks) as it played to my deposition of liking magic shows. But everyone knows when you have knowledge of the secrets it is not as entertaining. In my studies of Spinoza I have to concur that nothing is above Nature(God) there for...

    Greetings from a Spinozist

    Just for general info, my avatar is a picture of my beautiful hometown beach as the dark stretches of oil reach out to destroy the serenity I used to have a belief that oil spills were a just collateral damage and the price we pay. Then that damage arrived on my doorstep.

    Simple computer program for the Human mind

    Interesting, When I was reading Spinoza's "Ethics" he speaks of the highest level of knowledge one can achieve is of the Third Kind which he states is intuition. Intuition is the ability to see patterns that dont exist based on ones that do that exist and apply reason ( 2nd kind of knowledge) to...

    Why do I keep going to xian churches then do nothing?

    Question for understanding. Do you feel more like your id is compelled to darkness and opposition and your ego is non existent? Or is your Ego and your id both compelled to darkness an opposition Example. For me, I feel as my id is disposed to opposition not darkness just opposition ; how ever...

    Simple computer program for the Human mind

    I think skyNet as in terminator has the patent :) I would look at statistics for a sum of norms. Such as the little Debbie girl is not a representation of just one person but it was a cumulative of multiple persons. If it can be done for looks it can be done for norms Ex. If statistics show...

    Is everyone racist?

    If I feel the price is too high or that I'm being taking advantage of I will go to a competitor, the store owner either has to match his competitor or loose business. If I feel the price is ok even if the store owner sold it cheaper to another person, my perception is that I received a good deal...
