Can you believe me when I tell you I am not into debating with anyone at all.
I just want to learn from everyone who does have some thoughts which I will find to enhance my knowledge of things.
For folks here who say that Buddhism is not any worship and not any religion, so tell me what it is...
You are 'out-gooding' God by saying that you don't look forward to the reward of God.
You read the Bible, doesn't it say all the time about man serving God and God rewarding him, like foremost like the number of descendants like the sand in the oceans?
But think and tell me what is the best...
But there is nothing wrong with serving God for His reward.
You don't accept that?
Okay, tell me why you serve God, if at all.
Or you will tell me you don't serve God?
Dear everyone here, let us think together, okay?
"One thing I noticed: studying Buddhism helped me to understand Christianity better. Have you noticed the same thing?"
That is a testimony from yourself on yourself to your giving Buddhism credit.
Now, I invite you to tell me and readers here, one thing in Christianity that you understand...

"A religion is the worship of a superior being, like with Christians, God and His son made man, Jesus Christ, with the objective of getting favors from the superior being."

"Favors? Not quite. Often I find I am being tested, not given favors for actions."
So, you mean that when you got tested by God and you successfully got through with His testing, He will reward you with heaven when you go over to the other world post your demise in the present one on earth...
I like to exchange thoughts with you, there is also an even newer female member here, namely:
New Woman on RF sargam, Saturday at 1:46 AM ...
So, there are now two new female members here.
I am an old man err veteran here; I was suspended but now I have served my suspension, and am back to...
Sargam says:
"I am 32 years old working mom to a 7 year old boy.
PM me to know more about me, or you can ask anything you want here."
At the risk of getting impertinent, I really like to exchange thoughts with you, as you say people can ask you anything here.
This is a religious forum, and...
My observation is that Buddhists really worship Buddha.
You see, if Buddhists do not worship anything or anyone at all, in particular Buddha their founder, then they are not into any religion.
So, I am asking Buddhists here, whether born Buddhists like say native Buddhists in Thailand, or...
I am really very excited to read what Interista has to share with us all, what he now worships in his for him new religion, by which he calls himself a Buddhist.
What about you dear colleagues here, what do you know about what peoples worship, in their religion by which they call themselves...
I love to ask you, as you are now into a different religion, namely, instead of Catholicism which is the most populated Christianism faction in the world today.
What do you worship now as a Buddhist?
Glad to meet you here, I was suspended, and then I came across RF while looking for a forum to share my ideas about what peoples in other religions than Christianity worship.
Are you a Christian? Tell me then, Do you worship God and also of course Jesus Christ?
Now I will go and put a note in...
Dear leibowde84, siti, icehorse, and all opponents to me here, you all lapped up from the same masters of deceits and peddlers of lies, so what I tell columbus applies also to you all.
But I have a lot to talk with you all about, in re fallacies, because you guys lapped up your knowledge of...
Dear crawfeather one, I am a diy liberal Christian, I don't go for church attendance, but I invite fellow diy liberal Christians for fellowship get-together in public places like shopping malls, in their dining halls.
But the Christian churches are all right because they do perform a service...
Dear crawfeather one, you say: "All paths in the mind lead finally to dead ends."
You can rebut that by thinking of eating chicken tonight, that is in your mind; so when you on your way home buy a roast chicken to bring home to your family, that proves your overwhelming statement to be wrong...
Thanks, crawfeather, for your observation.
But as we all have reason, it follows that we can communicate unless we refuse to use our reason, and that has been my observation since when I started to engage with atheists on the issue God exists or not.
Please continue in this thread, and observe...
Okay, everyone who posts here, shall we first talk about the concepts of God, and come to concurrence on what is God Whose existence we are talking and debating about?
Next, shall we also work together as to come to concurrence on the concept of the universe, for it is my contention that the...
Dear readers, I guess leibowde84 will not be coming soon, so I will proceed to explain to you how the procedure of having a speculative concept of God in our mind, and then going forth into the universe to look for instances of things with a beginning, how this procedure makes up the proof from...
God in concept as the creator of everything with a beginning, it is a concept meaning a speculative thought in my mind, and I invite you to come with me to an expedition in the world to look for things with a beginning, is that all right with you?
In regard to universe without beginning or with...
I am not talking with anyone except leibowde84.
leibowde84:
show me your proof that the universe had a point in time at which it started to existed and before which it was not existing - i.e. prove that the universe had a beginning.
Sanmario:
Suppose we both work as to determine whether the...
