I don't see the need to bring a god into it though (you know that of course you rascal!). By "Chapter Two" you mean your "resurrection body"? You are deep into Christian theology/doctrine there, so maybe this would be more of a debate for Christians?
I've only seen the trailer for it, I have to say I find WW2 fascinating but documentaries are far more interesting than films where you know there will always be a dollop of "artistic licence". Without seeing it I'm already beginning to side with you, for those reasons; it won't teach me...
I have to go with "none of the above" Thief, no option for the infidel? I guess my "Adam" would perhaps be the first recognisable Homo sapiens, though I don't think a "Homo sapien" popped out of the womb of one of our ancestors one day, it was a gradual evolution. Like most things in life the...
Could space exist without time? Are not the two inextricably linked? In which case the question is irrelevant. As long as there is space there is time, it doesn't matter if everything is frozen on a molecular level, just means there is nobody to witness or experience the phenomenon. Change is...
Nah, don't agree Rival, the conservative right are still very much alive and kicking; don't forget we are governed by the Tories in coalition with the DUP, a highly conservative party with religious leanings. The popular press remains overwhelmingly right wing, no fear of you being bound and...
Many thanks for all those "winner" frubals against the determined Deeje! I'd like to say I think I might be wearing her down, but the JWs are like the Terminator...they never, ever stop!
No? The slaughter of women and children not barbaric? What does qualify as barbaric in your world then? I'd say killing children is barbaric, I think you would as well if you weren't attempting mental gymnastics to make your baby killing god seem like a nice chap really.
Yes, those children...
There it is again, the casual acceptance of divine barbarity, this time genocide. Picture the scene, the Canaanite children screaming with fear as dad and mum get bludgeoned or stabbed to death, perhaps mum gets raped beforehand, she was going to die anyway right? (I do hope you are not so naïve...
Ah, Deeje, I thought our exchange was at an end, you really do like the last word huh?:D
It is your casual acceptance of the way the deity supposedly has complete ownership of our lives; if parents said to a child "we made you, therefore we have every right to kill you if you displease us" you...
Ah yes, good old religious psychology. "Soon" suggests "in our lifetime" without actually committing to any time frame at all. Keeps the faithful keen and there is zero chance of getting egg on your face. The Watchtower has a long and inglorious history of making confident (but incorrect) claims...
So you are a young Earther? Really mate, to suggest that scientists stick to this idea just because it conflicts with the bible is crazy, it is all based on observation and maths, we use the same calculations when sending probes and the like into space. Is this a wind up as @Jose Fly suggests...
When I say "ignorance" I mean it in a literal sense, they just didn't have anything like the accumulated knowledge we have today, you wouldn't disagree with that I trust? No idea of how weather patterns work, no idea of germ theory, no idea of the vast scientific knowledge we take for granted...
Well that was more than I wanted tbh! I don't believe scripture has any authority, I don't believe it has any value as a source of information, though it has interest from an historical/cultural viewpoint, it tells us what our ancestors believed. I am glad you hear you say the fossil record...
I wasn't expecting you to approve of free love you know, but what you wrote is missing the point I was making. The biblical standards are impossible to follow, even your natural biological urges count against you.
The best of your ability? Oh no, you must live your life according to god's rules...
I wouldn't say it feels "wrong" when somebody you love dies, it is painful for sure, but death is just a part of the circle of life. As for the only thing that mitigates is "the hope of seeing them again", not so, I've already said you take the memories of that person, the good times you shared...
I take your decision to ignore my comment to be prejudicial and therefore offensive Brickster. You know that pigeon in your avatar? I'm going to turn it into a pie. Yummy!
Care to tell me where the bible indicates the world is over a million years old? You are raising the hackles of young Earth creationists with such heresy!
Rubbish, I work in the food industry so you are on my turf here. If you choose to eat junk food, high in fat, high in salt, then you are going to run into health problems. There is plenty of affordable healthy food out there, and even the "high fat, high salt" stuff is okay in moderation...
