If you do not believe in God, you must not have read the Bible

No, your confusion of course.

Oh, I answered alright but to use your over used expression; you just didn't like the form it took but the difference being I didn't use obfuscative rhetoric but simply told you that you have my answer just go back and look it up for yourself.

The word is not in your vocabulary? That explains why Jehovah would not give you his Holy Spirit and why you're stuck with a spirit that continues to lead you away from God.

Perhaps but only the parts that you can make agree with you and not "All Scripture".

No, in this case it is a matter of politeness and not a matter of perception.

Telling me now to judge? And this from someone who says judging should not be done.

And this from someone who doesn't even know God's name.

I am not in the least offended by your lack of agreement with the Bible but what I do find offensive is your denial of God and your almost constant attempt to denigrate him.

I answered but I guess you weren't listening, you can go back and look it up if you wish, I'm going to try and believe that you just don't remember and not that you are just lying about it.

Here once again is the answer; God gives wisdom and knowledge freely to all who ask in honesty but some just will not put up with healthful teachings, thus it seems you have turned a deaf ear to God and prefer to listen to your spirit buddy.

There are a lot things that are neither God nor Jesus, nor the Holy Spirit and yet are alive.

And yet; 2 Timothy 3:16-17

Do you really think that that Scripture means the the Holy Spirit when it says spirit? Then why didn't it say Holy Spirit? Perhaps you should check the context? Oh, that's right checking the context isn't allowed by your spirit buddy but God would want you to. (Acts 17:11)

 

Okay but no resurrection for you young man, no resurrection for you.

 

I have already done so many times and it seems that you have no ability to see if something is contradictory or not and thus pointing it out to you one more time is pointless.

 

You're welcome, you were doing fine. Just thought I'd throw in my two cents worth.

 

I wish I could read and understand the Greek but I do not. The information comes from; Thayer’s Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and it says that this verb “is often i.q. [equivalent to] to denote, signify, import.”

 

that's fine, i very much want to stay dead

[that goes double for reincarnation]

 

You may have no sins at all to consider, and everything may be absorbed into healthy psychological explanations. You read the bible and it eventually gets boring to see that the tree of life was so either abherated OR ignored for the values of creative communication/expressing-of-oneself.


Of course, the truth will remain constantly interpretable. Evil irreconcilable, or something like that.:sunny:

 

sin is in the eye of the beholder

 

temporarily so. You seem to be enjoying, WIca, the possibility of feeling dead about it. What then encourages you to read the bible is what discouraged me in the statement I made. I, by irreconcilable, mean in the contrary, that my perception of sin was without special privilege and quite objectively transferable to meandering with other peoples' ideas.

 

I see you refuse to answer the question.

 

Excellent point, this is not a call to the righteous.

 

Did jesus teach in greek?

Evidently the bible did not interpret itself in this instance, huh?

 

What is the point of all this?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?????????

 

I have a few thoughts.
We learn what is in us and hopefully expose the barriers we have erected against our appreciation of each other. The wound is ancient but many nurse it as though it is occurring all over again. From the first moment we sat terrified in a cave as the walls rumbled with the sound of thunder, wondering for the most fleeting of moments what we did to piss power off, or that first time your mom came to inquire, who spilled the milk

Humans are endowed with every societal expression we find in nature. Elements of the ant, bee, and wasp kingdom, the pack institution of the canine, the rut of ruminant society, and on and on. Harems and herds, dens and cities.
Anarchy works if anarchists work at it.
How do we measure quality of life, it comes down to personal choices. Every place has it’s beauty and it’s difficulty. Regardless of physical circumstance we still have the opportunity to compose ourselves.
Beyond any portrayals of indecency or deviancy, the thing that allows a person to treat another inhumanly is the idea that it is not me or none of mine. It is an object outside of me, a failure to identify with the whole sensitivity of the act.
While things in time can be tragic individually, they are an enduring aspect of our common humanity. The hysteria around a particular issue is not so much engendered by the issue itself, but speaks of a history of old scores to be settled. A reaction to the obvious corruptions of the public faith for longer than we can remember. Also if we do not blame ourselves we project blame onto others and it is common for societies or individuals to develop the moral outrage of current consensus, sort of a “distasteful flavor of the month”
We dream in our sleep and fine it quite reasonable to do so. We dream when we are awake and call this dreaming hope and do not realize that the effect is the same. How much time do we spend attending to things and how much is considering potential outcomes. We can only be occupied with one thought at a time, how much thought is devoted to dodging nightmares.

Actually this party could not be happening under more favorable circumstances than right here and now. This is a duty free pollution neutral gathering in which our finest imaginings may be shared. The grass is not greener elsewhere, but this moment may always be brightly conceived.
Even though free speech is protected and supposedly cherished, it is constantly assailed by efforts to enforce social taboo. However, the more insidious and virulent inhibitor of free speech is some level of self deceit, the attempt to cultivate favorable opinion as opposed to honest discourse.
To consume and to commune are not the same. To consume is to take and to commune is to share. Sharing is evidence of satisfaction.

 

it's an argument about your signature line, basically

 

Sin is in the eye of the bee holder?

 

I would like to direct you back to my last post but this time actually ask yourself the question, then answer it in your own head without touching the keyboard. Ever again.

 

I get the pre-millennium will at finite practice by theoretical reduction. Was it the theoretical which was spiritually finite, systematic and unfulfilled to the means for action? Was it the practical technique for not ever running out of the means from meditation? which was materially (money) finite.

Reductionism was once something fundamentalist. Obey the law and rules of ordered wealth, and we would be good to the environment.
