Reply to Long live Death in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

Life labors and toils to hold on to itself. If one could drink of the proverbial fountain of youth, the hope that one would never die. Oh what one would give to live eternally? Eternal life is promised to all. The only question is what will that abode entail? For advise on this matter consider what Lazarus and the rich man say. I would prefer 'long live life'. He that believeth on Christ shall never die, believest thou this? hamartano

Merry Christmas- 2007 in Religion JoeUser Forums

MERRY CHRISTMAS If one will carefully study the Birth of the Lord Jesus Christ over 2000 years ago, they will notice that God did not give us clear delineation as to the actual date in which He was born. God probably realized that if He gave u

Greetings KFC and Merry Christmas. [quote]"test the spirits." [/quote] Wise you are in this day of spiritual confusion. Many do not realize that though we live in a physical world it is immersed in a spiritual one. A world of principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness and spiritual wickedness in high places. Many fall to the beckoning of the spiritual authority and do not even realize the powers to be are of the devil. It is like the religious leaders of Jesus day.

Nope, I think it's from an overly litigious and greedy society in general, ever on the lookout for a way to get rich by taking 'offense.' I would agree whip. My study of the scriptures teach me that men do whatever they do because of their own selfishness. There is a way that seems right to the man, whi

Not really, lula, it isn't pagans who are trying to drive semblances of Christianity from the public square, it's sue-happy atheists and overly zealous secularists. Then again, I suppose that in your mind, they're the same as 'pagans.' I am thinking we are giving way too much credit to the human aspec

Are you trying to assert that the ancient egyptians didn't exist, that their entire history is some 'vaguely imagined' period before the coming of man? One could never deny the existence of ancient Egyptians. They were just guilty of what Paul admonished the Romans........ They changed the

" The larger point, however, was that (in my opinion) your God, your 'Jesus' IS the Sun, and that the majority of Christian beliefs, stories, and traditions were taken directly from various sun worshipping cults that predated them. "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth

I could have written what you said here exactly except for the fact I've been studying this bible now for about 35 years and still for the life of me can't find a mistake or contradiction anywhere. It all fits together like a warm glove to a cold hand. Everything is all wrapped up and covered quite nicely. I too have gone my way

I would have figured SanChonino would have gathered his minions against the truth of God's Word by now. It may be that the wrestling match is not what one would choose, unless he / she finds joy in such folly. How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up? For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges. And ye shall chase your e

"To attempt a theological definition of the Scripture is no easy matter. This results from its unique origin and character. All Scripture is God-breathed. Therefore all our human definitions will remain inadequate. Just because it is divine, it arises above our knowledge, and we shall never fully realize “what is the breadth and length and height and depth” (Eph. 3:18). This applies also to its authority and infallibility. Its authority is much greater

SanChonino, I have studied this word out some 28 years and the only error I have found is where compilers (men who compiled) who put together their version of the study bibles have erred. These errors were in reference to notes, comments and references to other text. I must admit that I have run across portions of His word that I don't understand (that does not warrant error only ignorance on my part) and even sometimes I misunderstand onl

On the larger topic: You can't do it if the Bible doesn't say it, and you can't do it if Jesus didn't do it and have it recorded in his perfect, infallible book.

In other words: None of you retards can ever take a shit again, because it doesn't talk about Jesus taking a shit in the perfect, infallible Bible.

Celebrating the birth of a child is one thing I was referring to birthdays (beginning with 1st birthday).

Wow, see this is the problem I have with Christianity and, particularly, the subjective interpretations of the bible. The above tract sure sounds like it is talking about a Christmas trees, i.e. 'deck it with silver and with gold', yet you are 'of the opinion' he is not talking about Christmas trees. Hmmm, very subjective indeed.

How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before [it hated] you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
