This was a point I made a while ago about what constitutes proof?
And whether ever increasing numbers of eyewitnesses and shared experience, equals a more reliable source
Technically… if 10,000 people saw the same object on the table and you asked, what was on the table, I didn’t see it and all...
I think the object on the table example is interesting
As the object for all intents and purposes exists on the table
You can see it, pick it up, observe it
It seems to interact with the table, in that it’s not falling through the table
But fundamentally you could say the object is more or...
I should also point out
That it doesn’t matter if someone says my experience was false or they don’t believe me
As I KNOW it to be true
What is true FOR ME, is not necessarily true FOR YOU
See this is the interesting thing with belief and truth that some people gloss over
Is that there is...
I can only state anecdotally that I have heard the dead speak
But I have ZERO evidence
Nothing “objective” as to me ultimately all is subjective
It was an experience I had
I know I had the experience
And I know the supernatural is not the only explanation
I may have been hallucinating
I may...
Another one was a boy was born with a facial deformity and a missing ear
When asked about his deformity he said, he looked the way he did as he had shot himself with a shotgun in a past life
When he described the person and named them, they found that, that person had Infact shot himself with...
So James Leninger as a kid would sign pictures of planes crashing into the ocean as James 3
He would tell his parents he was once a pilot that was on the USS Natoma, he flew a Corsair plane, he was shot down by the Japanese and died at Iwo Jima
He was afraid of water and drowning as he would...
I believe in God because of;
error correcting codes in nature
Higher dimensional topology of the brain, it exists in higher than atleast 4 dimensions (higher dimensional sand castles)
NDEs, DMT and Mystical experience, which points to something external to us
Ghosts, spirits et cetera...
Well firstly to be clear
This particular experience is one of a few and I don’t claim it to be objective at all
I also don’t claim to know what happened
It may be hallucination, lucid dreaming
But it was real to me
When I was a kid… I wanna say maybe… 7? 8 years old?
I wasn’t a strong...
I wear a cross always and do not believe in the biblical narrative, but I do believe in Christ and his teachings, although quite a different way to Christians
I also wear an archangel Michael ring always, as I’ve met them in person and so the ring is a particularly important reminder to myself
The original Sumerian/Mesopotamian Adam and Eve stories you will probably find the most enlightening and also the original flood stories of Utnipishtim
As when you read that, and then read the modern day genesis, you have a far far greater understanding of what’s happening, what original sin...
It doesn’t have a sense of plurality
IT IS plural for dieties
The reason it is present is because the Jews took the stories of the SUNERIANS and altered it
It’s why I outright say no single religion of today is “absolute” truth, as all religion of today have diverted away from the original...
I say I’m superior, and since I’m superior I must be right, therefore I REALLY AM superior.
That’s effectively what that means…
It’s circular.
Is this satire?
Or is that something you genuinely use?
Well we’re intrinsically immoral as we’re a part of an imperfect system and are predominantly animalistic
In baptism
If you’re baptised by water, then you’ve effectively done nothing, because water is merely symbolic
Correct baptism is in spirit, not in water
What you say here is somewhat...
You lost me personally, the moment you said the Big Bang has to RESTORE ORDER…
The Big Bang was the moment of least entropy and so was THE MOST ORDERED STATE,
Any moment there after, moves into ever higher Entropy and disorder
“Before” the Big Bang, in terms of logic and induction are “epochs”...
If the original doesn’t need to be improved on, then why do you go to the bible instead of the original texts?
Have you yet to understand that the bible IS THE SEQUEL you speak of, and it’s never as good as the original…
No it isnt
There’s writings that far predate the bible
I’ve read and studied the bible extensively and concluded it’s a shadow of the truth, and is a deeply misguided collection of texts
