Regarding my being a researcher, :tonguewink: that is a bit of an inside joke. Actually, here, I characterize myself as an android who came from the future. Specifically, the first successfully complete posthumous-droid created at Lehrer/Sheen Industries. In essence the posthumous-droid is...
Yeah, I know. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Religion or God. Was God created for religion or religion created for God. That sort of thing. I got that. The point being half of them don't have any gods. At least not in the occidental sense. Anything and anyone can be a god. Buddha...
Yes, I understand that, but what I'm suggesting - simply for consideration hypothetically - no such system. Making, in fact, the system obsolete. Something like this; a global enterprise business with more capital than most nations, owning more land and mineral rights than any other. They began...
I would answer that I don't prefer any of them. They are all imperfect, uninspired fallible translations of the perfect inspired infallible. But I guess I would say that my personal favorite is the New World Translation. Usually I will compare translations, like this.
Jesus was asexual. The angels that forsook their original position, having sex with human women producing the Nephilim, were heterosexual. In human form, their unnatural position. Jesus wasn't interested in sex on a personal level. Like the angels above he had been a spirit being,
How does that make God unjust? In my experience most unbelievers and skeptics think of God and the Bible as traditionally misrepresented by apostate religion. Judaism, Christianity, Islam. God wants us to use our brains our designed goal is to be like God, who's image we were created in. God...
Who has seen God and what does it mean to see God 'face to face.?'
Did Abraham? Genesis 18:1-3 Note that Jehovah god is mistaken for one of the three men. Was God a man or an angel in the form of a man who represented God?
Did Moses? Numbers 12:8 - Note that it is an appearance of God that...
You mean to say that it didn't mention Jesus by name. It did refer to a Messiah, no? Like David? Offspring of David? There were records in the temple, no? How many people that ever lived could have been that Messiah? After the temple was destroyed in 70 CE those records were no longer kept. No...
Yes. Pretty much. Though there was Jesus and the Phoenician woman, and the Roman soldier. (Matthew 15:23-25; 22: 1–14; Luke 7:1-9) There were Jewish proselytes (Exodus 12:48-49; Matthew 23:15; Acts 2:10) Moabite Ruth (Ruth 1:6) Rahab (Joshua 6:25) Edomite Doeg (1 Samuel 21:7) Hittite Uriah (2...
Hello, I read some of the Bible Student website you link to in your about page. It sounds very interesting. I'm from Indiana as well. About an hour's drive from Indy.
It wasn't just the Biden administration; it was a global phenomenon. If you look back into history there have been a lot of that sort of thing, it wasn't anything new. It's been going on at least since the early 1900s. Probably longer, especially with JD Rockefeller's influence in the medical...
Yeah, but actually, given human nature, that wasn't bad. The answer to the question in the subject heading: Jesus failed, right? is no. He didn't fail.
Well, no, I don't believe he died on a cross, it was a Hebrew torture stake. Xylon.
Yes. Jesus was a Jew, as were all writers of the Bible...
How is it that my interpretation of possible events of natural or manmade catastrophes could possibly illicit such a response and why?
Why not just give me your interpretation? Constructively criticize mine, and I will do the same for you. Why the anger?
People fascinate and bore me...
I see. Good idea if you can sustain it. I've always been close to the woods. The scenario I see is natural or manmade disaster. The people in the city, typically the left, will be done for, probably not being able to get to the rural areas, where churches will probably be the hubs of what's left...
You seemed to have equated religion with God, i.e. theism, which doesn't explain about half of them, not to mention probably more than half of the theistic ones being more about community than God, theism.
Theistic religions are evidence of gods.
No, actually the word god, in any language...
