what afterlife? a mythical fable passed down through the ages.

angels? a myth that developed later in the bibles 1500 year construction

Baahh Humbug!
"After life"? "After life" is only for imanimate objects ---of great worth; or petty worth; or nick-nack worth; or nostalgic worth; or national worth; or morgage-worthy's worth ---"After life" is only for Aerated Water Bottle deposits;
"After life" is only for Mercedes-Benz pre-owned sales lots;
"After life" is only for undertakers legal jurisdiction and graveyard digger's pension plans;
"After life" is only for the national debt left to the worlds grandchildren and their kids and their local football teams new stadium.
"After life" is only for Cost of living rate of inflation for those that would be your next wave of immigrants.
"After life" is only for prison inmates that are set free.
"After life" is only for retired porn-workers.
"After life" is only for post-adolescents.
"After life" is only for re-tooled factories.
"After life" is only for re-organized industry finances.
"After life" is only for "Energy that is never distroyed ---only changed into another form".

Animated Conscious Soul-beings that survey all that is created ---apparently are not good enough to survive the shell of embodiement of locomotion and perception of the in-animate elements that bounce off each other ad-infinitum.

My bouncing balls will be lost to me yet all the varieties of the bouncing balls of the "ten-thousand things will continue its cycle of rising and falling" ad-infinitum.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Now for something completely different:

There are more residents in the Kingdom of Heaven then there are in all the Planets of the Material World.

The demographics of Humanity's surjourn on this planet earth is incalculable.

After a certain point in their calculations, economists and insurance actuaries acknowledge that "the rest available contributing demografics are supurfluously in excess of their need to be included in cost projections".

That is why economies are failing ---due to over extending their capacity ---predicated upon pre-plans that revolved around only the cream of society. The excess foam will abate of its own accord.

The masses are already fodder and are appreciated thusly by those that are running the machines of industry.

Similarly, the cosmic machine known as the Universe is a place where persons come to work . . . work that provides only the basest needs. And most are satified to get plenty of these 'basest needs' in abundance . . . while others universally are queued up to pine from afar for their quota of 'basest needs' . . . until the cyclic winds of change bring warmer climates . . . all accomplished in a typical cycle of the repeating seasons of time.

I asked what reason applies to. If it doesn't apply to human fabrication then whats the point of it?

#1 Now,, can you argue that man has not been creating man and women gods and spirits for the last 200,000 years???

First Law of Thermodynamics- you cannot “create” anything..

Maybe you meant “inventing”?? If this is what you meant, refer to my answer to your question #2.

#2 Can you show me a remote tribe who does not have made up spirits or gods in any part of the world???

Key Word here is “made-up”.

The Scripture has over 2,000 years of history to back it up.

Not to mention, archeological evidences.

#3 Can you show me any parallels in these remote tribes that would indicate that there god is also your god talking to them in the local language and thus the god figure is sharing the same information with all people????

I’m not sure what you mean by this.

#4 Can you show me that your hebrew god figure does not have any simularity's with previous pagan religions such as sumerians and egpytions???

This is a “which-came-first...the-chicken-or-the-egg” question.

If there are similarities, this only confirms that the History of the Scriptures is true.

The sequence of events is as follows (in a nut-shell):

-G-D creates Eden with Adam and Eve;
-Adam and Eve are driven away from Eden;
-Adam and Eve populate the Earth;
-In the “Tower of Babel”, the people are dispersed into different languages. But with the same knowledge of the G-D who dispersed them. Thus creating different versions over time.

#5 The ancient hebrews put more importance on male's then females, does this show in their early writings regarding the creation of the god figure as a male????

This is a “Linguistic Issue”.

G-D is Spirit. But linguistically you cannot assign the pronoun “It” to a living ‘Being’, just to satisfy neutrality.

G-D revealed Himself to the Hebrews as “I AM”. Later, the tetragramatization of YHWH was used as a means of writing HIS name. But this was never spoken. A substitute of L-RD was used when speaking of HIS name. And L-RD is a sovereign title and does not refer to gender.

#6 Do you think all other gods and spirits are made up by the local people of that particular geographic region?

“Yes”, they have their own invention of their “concept” of who G-D is.

#7 Did people speak other languages around the world before the tower of babal?

No. They spoke one language. This is what is written in Scriptures.

#8 is the earth 6000 years old and created in one day???

In the Hebrew language, “day” can also refer to an “event”. As in the “day of judgment”.

#9 did man really walk around with dinosaurs ????

Absolutely

#10 did early man live to 900 years as it states noah and adam did????

Absolutely

Wait, you actually believe that humans and dinosaurs roamed together and that man once lived to 900 years old?

thanks for playing


First Law of Thermodynamics- you cannot “create” anything..

do not apply to imagination

Key Word here is “made-up”.

The Scripture has over 2,000 years of history to back it up.

Not to mention, archeological evidences.

does not apply to question #2

AND it does not have history or archeology to back up the large percent of fiction in its pages.

if anything one can say with certainty that the bible lacks historicity as it was written to be read allegorically

I’m not sure what you mean by this.

can you show me remote tribes in the world that are not from the levant, that have a simular god.

This would show the same god is talking to everybody equally not just ancient hebrews and only ancient hebrews.

This is a “which-came-first...the-chicken-or-the-egg” question.

no it is not, you misunderstand

If there are similarities, this only confirms that the History of the Scriptures is true.

wrong

ancient hebrews told the tales of the early bible orally for hundreds of years. These people came from other semetic speaking cultures, orally bringing their ancient fables with them.

If you were right the egyptians and sumerians would have the same religion as ancient hebrews. they do not, They had myths

-G-D creates Eden with Adam and Eve;
-Adam and Eve are driven away from Eden;
-Adam and Eve populate the Earth;
-In the “Tower of Babel”, the people are dispersed into different languages. But with the same knowledge of the G-D who dispersed them. Thus creating different versions over time.

this is a known myth with 0 historicity

the creation story is %100 fiction probably taken from the sumerian myth who used a man named adamu

people spoke many languages before babel, this is a fact. it is fiction

This is a “Linguistic Issue”.

no this is false

ancient hebrews created a man god figure "god made man in our image"

this really isnt up for debate because it is so obvious.

ancient hebrews placed very little value on women, they would not have made their god a woman or even part woman. It shows in all their text.

go look at the sistine chapel ceiling, the early church wanted the painting to reflect their god figure how it was written. what you see is what you get

“Yes”, they have their own invention of their “concept” of who G-D is.

yes invented or imagined the same way ancient hebrews imagined their created god.

you only believe in god because of the geographic location you were born, nothing more.


No. They spoke one language. This is what is written in Scriptures.

wrong again, scriptures have 0 historicity.

we know for a fact as we have writing going back 6000 years [that is before babel] and there was many different languages.

really your pulling a YeC attitude, you might as well admit the world is flat and teh sun revolves around the earth at this point :facepalm:

In the Hebrew language, “day” can also refer to an “event”. As in the “day of judgment”.

The bible is very clear a day is a day, now your switching text to poorly try to make reality out of fiction.

the proper answer is no the earth was not created in 1 day and it is not 6000 years old

exuses for biblical mistakes do not fly.

Absolutely

there is little hope for you ever having a education that will have use or meaning as you choose to create a false reality and choose to ignore those who know much more then you.

man did not ever walk with dinosaurs, this is a fact you should get used to.

Absolutely

man naver lived more then 120 years of age on average. To admit man lived 900 + years is a sad statement to show how primitive man still is to gold on to ancient beliefs that were ment to be read allegorically not EVER literally

I feel sad knowing that you are not alone

Absolute allegories ---//versus//--- myraids of literally written meanings?

that were ment to be read allegorically not EVER literally

Says Who? Your Guru? Who's your Guru?

And what ever happened to the values of all those allegories?
Did everyone want more than allegories?
Did the crowds shout, "Yeah, we comprehend the allegories already! But there probably other hidden meanings along with the allegories . . . like the literal written writings"

Dont just stand there holding your sign, make your case the first 5 books of the OT should be read literally and that they hold only true words.

You might want to throw in some evidence of god while your at it.

the hebrews who wrote it.

are you going to suggest these fables in genesis that hold almost no truth what so ever should be read literally??

Says Asks? A Guru? Who's Guru?
Are you a scholar? You have degree?
You are fallen from that family tradition?
You wrote a thesis that earned you a Phd?

How are you privy to your out-pourings?

Who says your requests are deemed sensable?

I am saying your opinion is "Yours" based on "Yours" for "Yours".

Thas is what you should challenge me with:

Make your case that my opinion is "Mine" --based on "Mine" --for "My" reasoning.
{Make your case that outhouse's opinion is "outhouse's" --based on "outhouse's" --for "outhouse's" reasoning.}

And that, even if you took a poll--- it would be skewed by the logistics of the voters available to answer the poll.

The reason you can ignore what some people do in the privacy of their own island of retreat as 'unusual behavior' is because . . . it is done far away on their island.

If you mis-treat these queer folks because they are threading on your space ---then your argument is not with there 'odd' predilictions but rather "how does it traspass on your own rights to peace & happiness".

How does the means of your own rights to peace & happiness compromised by the traditions of the Old Testiment.
How has the Old Testiment verdicts compromised your pursuit of freedom and liberty?

Has the Old Testiment verdicts compromised your pursuit of freedom and liberty--- or, is it simply knowing that there are those that adhere to the Old Testiment verdicts ---and that gives you some sort of complex that you feel neccessary to purge your self of?

If you actually believe this, how can anyone take anything you say seriously?
