Hardly paid the Mike Murdock wannabe the slightest attention

rationalmind:

Thats all I've been saying since, I shouldn't be damned.

How else would I had eaten it had he not put it there

@rationalmind

You would have to be programmed to eat if meant to eat
or programmed against eating if not meant to eat

but the difference is you are not a virtual human or digital clone

No one is controlling your emotion or feeling

unlike a robot you are free, free to think, free to comply or not to comply etc etc

Free to make choices AND take responsibility for the actions.

rationalmind:

The robot doesnt have to choose good to have Joy. The Joy can just be an intrinsic ability of the robot.

Imagine God created us like robots, all we would know is doing good and following him blindly as he commands.

Robots do not run by themselves
Robots follow instructions or algorithms
As per robots doing good, well that is contentious,
as it depends on whoever the operator is and the intent when using the robot

rationalmind:

sorry, im on mobile. Remb is actually remember. If I were adam, I'll eat the fruit

and be a-dam-ned? tut tut tut. SMH

rationalmind:

when you remb giving them freewill enabled them to even think of eating from the fruit,
we can have a discourse.

Whatever "remb" is or what it means

Giving them freewill enabling them to think is the essence

Adam had accelerated knowledge and information upload

He weighed up the odds wrong

You want to trade places with Adam and go back in time

Be back in Eden?

Maybe confront God, there, in the garden and reject freewill & obedience.

Throw a tantrum, insisting having it your own way (i.e. eat the fruit and not pay the death-price)

What would you do rationalmind? If you were Adam

Don't kid yourself rationalmind, freewill or no freewill, you can't win.

Suck it up. Bwahahaha!!!

rationalmind:

Acknowledge what? I've seen nothing in the above that warrants any acknowledgment.

Here is what I said, "He creates people not to act like robots but will punish them for not acting like robots"

Are you saying I should had said, "he creates people to not act like robots but will punish SOME for not acting like robots".

Was that what you expected me to say? I expect that the level of understanding of everyone here should be beyond the elementary. If you had paid attention to my first statement, you would had realised I was specifically talking about those you claim do evil with their freewill.

Back to my point, weather they do evil with the freewill or good, no one deserves punishment for exercising the freewill.

He didn't want them to act like robots, they are not acting like robots.

Que Sera, Sera - "Whatever Will Be, Will Be" - for the non-french speaking

Here, Take, have freewill!

Don't eat of tree - We all live happily after

Eat of the tree - Yikes! Scram!! You're doomed!!! The Pandora box is opened!!!

#rationalmind, the questions you should sought after are
"Why? why? why go ahead when YOU knew the fruit of the Tree will be eaten by Adam"
Why?
What was/is the point?
What were YOU playing at?
What do you think YOU were doing?

Image123:

Nice one, hopefully, wiegraf sees this.

Seeing this or not seeing that, isn't what they are disgruntled over.

Their gripe is what is the freewill and "punishment" point

What are the intentions?

What is GOD's intention?

aManFromMars:

Would you jump on a bike that has Freewill?

Yes, I would and jump on it with great delight

The bike can do whatever it wants, jump through hoops of fire, cycle anywhere etc etc whatever the whim is albeit with a caveat

Just ONE teeny-weeny party pooper disclaimer

Which is, that junkyard over there, one beside the vulcanizer/pump station, is a total capital No-No, No-go-area or zone

The bike MUST NOT go in there because if/when it does,

IOIO - " It's On It's Own" like YOYO - " You're On Your Own"

It will be kaput and sayonara from that point on.

²The next, Aaron built an altar before the calf and PROCLAIMED the next day to be a feast to the Lord.
so THEY rose up early the next day and offered burnt-offerings, peace-offerings
and THEY ALL sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=exodus+32:1-6

Pls explain the above verses in that site and lets see whether he participated or not.
even u're the first person to say he didn't participate.

Preferential treatment? God is partial? Wonder shall never ends.

Wow! God must have ordained our politians' "Immunity Clause". Don't complain so that u'll nt plagued.

what does it cost u to copy and paste?

Bring it here as long as it will quench my curiousity.

And Miriam was plagued and Aaron was spared as usual. No wonder atheists were on rampage.

@harbiola1

I went to a party last night, everyone danced

Everyone danced? No, because it is an exaggerated statement or claim not meant to be taken literally

Of course, everyone cant possibly dance at a party,

some are OK, leaning against the wall, simply sitting etc etc

"THEY ALL" too is not meant to be taken literally

The 3000 thereabout that died were the ringleaders - instigators

If you carefully analyse the whole shebang,

you should detect and notice how Aaron tried using psychology mind games, delaying tactics etc to buy time and hoping that . . .

²³They said to me, 'Make us gods who will go before us.
As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt,
we don't know what has happened to him.'
²⁴So I told them, 'Whoever has any gold jewelry, take it off.'
Then they gave me the gold,
and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf!"
^{@^^ Exodus 32:23-24 NIV}

God sees the heart . . .

Don't be daft and melodramatic. What business has politicians, politics and/or democracy to do with Theocracy

Aaron wasn't spared

Copy and paste in this instance destroys initiative, further thinking or effort to independently get information

DIY. Do It Yourself

macof:

Aaron has always earned immunity
Miraim was cursed with leprosy, Aaron was spared.
My guess is that the jazz Moses has Aaron has too

@macof

On the contrary, Aaron wasn't spared at all.

That is what you think, friend,

and this is because of the hush hush which kept the info from general or public knowledge

harbiola1:
1. He [Aaro] took the gold from them, formed it in a mold and cast an image of a calf and they said; these are your gods, O isreal who brought you out of the land of Egypt. Exod 32:4
2. The next, Aaron built an altar before the calf and proclaimed the next day to be a feast to the Lord. so they rose up early the next day and offered burnt-offerings, peace-offerings and they all sat down including Aaron to eat and drink and rose up to play Exod 32:6.

Lets assume that Aaron was forced to make a calf, was he forced to worship it? was he forced to dine and wine with them? i don't think that is possible.

But the next things we read is that over 3,000 people that worshipped the golden calf were Killed, but Aaron their leader who made the golden calf, Built an altar, Host the feast was not only pardoned but also rewarded with priesthood.

Somebody have to let me know how this's not an injustice using Exod 20:3-5.

@harbiola1

Whoa, whoa, where and when did Aaron worship the golden calf

The man caved in seeing people were baying for blood - surely, he did not participate

Anyway, there is a thing called preferential treatment which makes one untouchable to a point

Aaron enjoyed the privilege and got immunity

Mind you, the First Epistle of Clement might have insights on your raised issue

there is a Second Epistle of Clement known but it is not the same author as the First Epistle of Clement

Miriam and Aaron speaking against Moses?

Pastor Olu T:

One of the angel/man always say the truth no matter what, while the the other is the opposite,
always lying, but you also dont know which is which.

And its a must you take one of the roads, but you are only entitled to ask one of the angels/men ONLY ONE QUESTION, but dont know their true identities.

This is the mystery, WHAT WOULD YOUR QUESTION BE, remember just only one which is irreversible?

Alwaystrue:

Ask any of the angels this question 'Which way will the other angel tell me is the way to life'? When he points, take the opposite direction of where he points because:

1. If it is the truthful angel, he will show the way to death because that is where the lying angel will point to truthfully.
2. If it is the lying angel, he will lie and point to the way of death which is opposite of where the truthful angel will have pointed to.

SeyiGold:

U missed it bro. When God want something he has the power to Decree and it will come to existence without any assistance.

@SeyiGold

I agree to disagree

but with my last say on the matter,

think about it, has God done anything without seeking or finding a man/woman first

When it comes to earth affairs, God needs man's cooperation just like with Mary's

“For You have magnified Your word above all Your name" Ps. 138:2:

SeyiGold:

^#1Can someone explain why God need a son

^#2when he can actually do whatever he want without anyone assistance.

Human being need children because of their Name and property

^#3kindly tell me why u think God need a son?

@SeyiGold

#1) If you need an apple tree, you plant an apple seed

That is exactly what God did, a Son for a family

#2) God can do whatever He wants without assistance but in this dispensation, man's cooperation is required

- This is because God is true to His word or saying (i.e. refer: Gen 1:26,28 and Psalm 138:2)

²⁶And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth

²⁸And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth
^{@^^ Gen 1:26,28 KJV}


I will bow down toward your holy temple
and will praise your name
for your unfailing love and your faithfulness,
for you have so exalted your solemn decree
that it surpasses your fame
^{@^^^Psalm 138:2 NIV}

#3) God needed a family, so he offered His Son (i.e. a seed) for a family

macof:

If you are smart you would realize that the story of Jesus and christianity is a fraud.

By evidence of the Bible, Jesus wasn't born December, but Mithra was.
The Romans have taken a lot from their previous religions into christianity.

The Romans made christianity is a bid to acquire more political power

True, true. It is a charade and a right old mess SMH

cold:
Ok carry on the good work.

In the end,it still boils down to what i've been saying;the story of Jesus was built on pure unbridled falsehood.

Little wonder the Jews won't even acknowledge him as the Messiah.

You think they know something we don't?

@cold

You aren't wet behind the ears

Is it really possible that someone could imagine something that could later become a reality, even if only in part?

Well, let’s take a look at another example from history.

What if I told you that a man named Morgan Robertson once wrote about a British ocean liner that was about 800 feet long, weighed over 60,000 tons, and could carry about 3,000 passengers? The ship had a top cruising speed of 24 knots, had three propellers, and about 20 lifeboats.

What if I told you that this ocean liner hit an iceberg on its maiden voyage in the month of April, tearing an opening in the starboard side forward portion of the ship, and sinking along with about 2,000 passengers?

Would you recognize the event from history?

You might say, “Hey, that’s the Titanic!” Well, you would be wrong.

While all these details are identical to the Titanic, the ship I am talking about is the “Titan”

and it is a fictional ship described in Robertson’s book called “the Wreck of the Titan” or “Futility” (Buccaneer Books, Cutchogue, New York, 1898).

This book was written fourteen years BEFORE the disaster took place,

and several years before the construction was even begun on the Titanic! In addition to this, other writers and thinkers had also started to develop a mythology about such large ships.

In the 1880’s, the well known English journalist, W. T. Stead also wrote an account of a sinking ocean liner in the mid-Atlantic, and by 1882 had added the detail that an iceberg would be the cause of the disaster.

There are also quite a number of recorded premonitions on the part of passengers who cancelled at the last minute before boarding the Titanic for its maiden voyage in 1912, citing that the ship would suffer a similar fate.

How could all these people foresee something like this? How could Robertson foresee this so accurately?

Well, it is quite possible that these men and women had a prophetic gift of sorts (after all, even atheists will concede that some among us are at least more intuitive than others),

but it is also possible that they simply observed the world around them, thought about the possibilities, examined the history of man leading up to the era, and imagined what an ocean liner like this might be like.

Clearly they did actually imagine something that was close to the truth of history.

Now if a thousand years from now we were examining the truth of the Titanic in history, and we discovered the story of the Titan, do you think we would find ourselves saying, “Hey, that story about the Titanic is a lie, it was just a re-creation of a prior mythology called the Titan!”

I hope not. I hope, instead, that we would evaluate the evidence related to the existence of the Titanic, read the eyewitness accounts, study the impact the event had on history, and then make a decision about the event.

I would hope that a prior mythology would not stop our search for the truth.

And let’s face it, the similarities between the Titan and the Titanic are far greater than the similarities between Mithras and Jesus

http://pleaseconvinceme.com/2012/is-jesus-simply-a-retelling-of-the-mithras-mythology/

cold:

Funny how you only choose to pick on the December date as that is the only convenient point you can harp on.
Don't tell me you missed out on the other similarities
or are you going to continue feigning ignorance?

@cold



Not feigning ignorance

cold:

^^ of course & neither were the other gods.
At least we can't ascertain this with any degree of certainty.
The point being made is to create some kind of religious significance with dates and extraordinary feats by these gods to set them apart.
The Romans just plagiarised other pagan beliefs to mystify Jesus Christ

@cold

You see yourself now

You shouldn't be plastering or pasting misleading graphics all over the place
without first considering the possible consequences or dangers of them giving the wrong idea or impression

We can, from the Bible, ascertain with degrees of certainty that Jesus wasn't born in December.

We actually know, from the Bible that, it wasn't December
but then the birth date is not important
as the day of death is better than the day of one's birth

A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth
