Thats why we're sitting here over an eCoffee discussing Satan. And God. Because no one can prove shit. Kinda like saying Pink Floyd sucks ass. A lot of people would disagree, but that doesn't make them right or wrong. Do you have any links for this Feuerbach dude? Get some for AIM tonight. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Man, I really hate QuoteWarstm so, I'm just gonna do what I intended and respond to one point at a time.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
I am TECHNICALLY on the Jedi Side. Just not batting for God and Jesus. More like Mohammed. My sponsor is a little different. I still can not get over the fact that you people SERIOUSLY THINK that your religion is the ONLY RIGHT religion. Man. BOGGLES THE MIND. Thats not proud AT ALL! (Dont get mad at me, Minion) What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
A murderer can still get into heaven, if he realize that what he was doing what wrong, and gave up this sinful desire.
When humans have progeny, what are they? Humans When God has "progeny" what is it? God This is only an illustration to explain what on earth is going on, because, like you said, the Trinity is intangible. FELIPE NO

I think Christianity is right, but that's not to say that every other religion is 100% wrong. It's just that .0000001% that matters that seems to elude people. Nevertheless, I told you about accountability. If a Muslim doesn't really understand the Gospel and never gets around to rejecting it, I don't seriously know if he's any different from a baby in God's eyes. What I do know is that it's up to God. I don't know who goes to hell and who doesn't. I do know that if you want to be separate from God, he gives you what he wants, but people who just don't get it? I dunno. It's not my place to say. I make it a point never to answer the "where am I going when I die?" question. I usually tell people to ask God themselves.
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Is it me - or does Minion suddenly sound a hell of a lot like Matthew Harrison Brady all the sudden? "God tells Brady what is good; to be against Brady is to be against God!"
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
What are you talking about Lehah? I just said that I don't know what God is thinking...
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Fyodor, I think you should whip yourself daily. I bet that would make God sure that you weren't full of nasty, stinking pride.
Whereas me? Most arrogant son of a bitch ever created. And I LOVE it. I'll send you a postcard from HELL. (Seriously. This is insane. Being proud is a sin. Because O SHIT you may put yourself on the same level of GOD!) So. What are your thoughts on free will, Fyodor? Minion, you expect a Muslim to even BOTHER reading the Gospel? Why should they? It's against THEIR religion. And, I mean, how can you say they're WRONG?! Muslims believe in the SAME FUNDAMENTAL IDEAS that you Christians do. This is wars are started, man. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Actually, Jesus is in the Koran. Muslims feel the same way about Jesus that the Jews do. Most of the people in the Koran are in the Bible. I can't help but think that Mohammad ripped the Koran off of the Bible, frankly.
How ya doing, buddy? |

God tells Brady what is good; to be against Brady is to be against God! Matthew Harrison Brady: No! Every man is a free agent! Henry Drummond: Then what is Bertram Cates doing in the Hillsboro Jail? What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
I'm saying I don't know, but I believe God will accomodate anyone who wants to be with Him. Far from telling you what the "way of things" is.
FELIPE NO |

Have you ever read the Koran, Minion? You may enjoy it. I think its a little more passionate than the Bible. Makes it sexier. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Uh, actually yeah I have read some of it and I own a copy. Haven't read it all, no. Have you?

I think the fact that other religions have some things right just shows that God reveals things to everyone. He's trying to connect with everyone. I see Christianity as God's last effort to help people connect with him.

I mean, are you so arrogant to say you've solved one of the greatest mysteries of all time? FELIPE NO |
I had this Jew in high school history class - Dr. Pulda. He converted, and made it a point to teach us EVERYTHING he could about the Koran. Our exposure was limited at the time, so he took it upon himself to teach us about it. Whether or not it was RIGHT for him to teach it to us, I dont know. But I learned a lot about the religion and the Koran itself from him. We DID read passages in class. He since died of cancer, I believe. I wonder if he went to Heaven or Jannah. Which are essentially the same place - "a place beautiful abode where, those who believe in only God, humble themselves to worship Him, do the good and avoid the evil, are promised to go after the end of this worldly life." What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |

And yea, in the scheme of the entire history of man and his beliefs, even MONOTHEISM is a fairly new idea. Which makes it even MORE questionable as a religion. I think we should go back to worshipping Amen Ra. He made more sense. Sun worship. Its logical, in a sense. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Since i'm not clued up on Christianity and all the various permutations, do Lutherans believe in the Rapture or is that another sect? I used to know someone who did and she was mildly fearful for my soul because the simple fact that I didn't need a religion to tell me what was right and wrong meant that I was going to burn. I asked her about babies and starving kids in Africa, many of whom don't even get the chance to learn to read, let alone read the Bible. Her response was iffy so someone should clarify.
I'm not religious myself but I nevertheless consider myself to be more of a decent guy that most people I know, and people tell me this too (it's not my PRIDE :O). You can acquire and develop a perfectly fair and decent moral framework without religion, but experiences can help to shape that. For Sass (who probably already knows all this): http://www.pbs.org/muhammad/film2.shtml It's very brief but I didn't know any of this and it's my heritage so maybe I should get off my ass and actually look into it ^_^. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
All Christians basically believe in the rapture, but I don't see why that belief would make anyone particularly zealous.
The thing about Africans who can't read and babies I've address earlier in the thread. There is a concept of accountability in both Christianity and Judaism. Basically you have to hear and understand the Gospel in order to be accountable. So what happens to the people who don't? That's largely up to God. I've heard some weird stories from people who had never heard of Christianity and were mysteriously lead to it (I've actually met these people). I believe God gives you everything you need to make the decision. He is fair and just. If you want to be with Him, He'll give you every chance to make that choice. If not, He gives you what you want (or, at least, what you think you want). I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
