dalaman: So the bible which you claimed was mythical is now history - containing even the origin of the Hebrew people . Let me get this straight from you - can history contain mythical events ? |

@bstringz For me to absorb the different Bible verses that you quote, you first have to prove to me that the Bible is credible and that the Abrahamic God is real. You can't be using the Bible to convince me since I obviously and repeatedly just explained to you how I arrived at the conclusion that its claims around divinity and deity are not credible. Your sort of approach is circular and won't get a non-theist/atheist to go along with your flow. What you need to do is stop making presuppositional statements that presume that I consider the Bible to be credible. If you make arguments that are not presuppositional, then I can follow you. But for now, I can't follow your points at all. Additionally, odds are I have already deeply studied whatever verse you will ever quote to me. Note: I'm not saying that everything in the Bible is a lie... I am saying that its most important claims about divinity, deity, and miracles are absolutely not credible. |

Antiparticle: well dude, my story is different. my research brought me closer to God. I discovered that the path and wisdom many people use in trying to discover God is usually self induced. Religion and Science can never fully prove God's existence. the scriptures record that " the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life". this means that even theology misleads and proves nothing if God decides not to reveal anything to the researcher. the truth is you can't discover God by yourself unless he chooses to reveal himself to you. theology and science shows only how far our finite mind can go, yet, it is nowhere near the threshold of discovering God. so how did I find God, or rather, how did God reveal himself to me? the answer goes thus: what gave birth to man building flying objects, building cities, landing in space, and even querying his own human existence? INSPIRATION! Nothing ever happens without a PURPOSE! once you are inspired by purpose, you won't see life and existence as an accident or coincidence. these realm brings you to humility and opens your soul. now those who opens their souls believes there must be a higher power watching the existence of man. what you make of this higher power becomes God. to some, its Brahma, to some, buhdda, to some its Jehovah. so the real issue now is, which of them is the true higher power? Jesus Christ defined true love which is SACRIFICIAL. he sacrificed himself for love of humanity and the world at large. he expects us as humans to LEARN how to truly love ourselves and the epitome of love itself- the higher power called GOD. I believe in Jesus, which leads me to believe in God. God himself (SPIRIT) then revealed himself to me. My point? you need faith in a higher power to discover God. to find that faith, you must acknowledge an inspired purpose. THIS IS MY STORY. SonOfElâ„¢ 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: My Fellow Agnostic And Atheist, What If We Got It All Wrong? by Antiparticle(m): 9:30pm On Oct 02, 2015 |
@SonOfEl I applaud the efforts you likely expended on your search for God. From your write-up these three phrases resonated with me: SonOfEl:The bolded once again implies to me that a God of justice "who rewards those who diligently seek Him" does not exist. SonOfEl:Indeed. I solidly agree that it takes faith (without any smattering of evidence) to believe. Based on that premise I guess you would be also ok with believing without evidence that a ten-headed monster with fifteen antlers once lived and came to die for your sins and save you. But you don't believe this obviously because you think it is not plausible. Yet, you believe the story of some dude who supposedly rose from the dead (without any evidence for said resurrection) and you consider that plausible. Unfortunately I refuse to have faith in a genocidal/infanticidal/homicidal psychopathic Yahweh. I also refuse to have faith in a Yahweh that doesn't even hold true to his own supposed standards of being just and interventionist. I refuse to have faith in a Yahweh that expects people to fight his own wars for him. Such a god would be immoral, untrustworthy, and would not be worthy of worship. Thus, my conclusion still stands. SonOfEl:If Jesus existed, he was not the first person to revolutionarily teach people how to love others. Also, the notion that he resurrected is an invention. I will not base my faith on the sinking sand of an invented story. If god(s) exist and he/she/it/they want me to believe, he/she/it/they know how to reach me. Since Yahweh is "all-powerful" and "instantly heals" swollen badly twisted ankles like @KingEbukasBlog's, then it should be so easy for "Him" to show me and all the other non-theists/atheists that "He" is alive. Please modify your post above by deleting my long post that you quoted. It occupies too much space. Thanks. |

Antiparticle: obviously you didn't read my post exhaustively, you just cherry picked and projected your biase. stop trying to justify your apostacy. you are only being bitter, and your bitterness won't change anything. God loves you, that's why you have a purpose in life, that's why you are not here by accident or coincidence. watch the Richard Dawkins vs. John Lennox debate and learn a few things from the discussion. quit living in denial. |
Re: My Fellow Agnostic And Atheist, What If We Got It All Wrong? by Antiparticle(m): 9:54pm On Oct 02, 2015 |
Ok. I did not cherry pick your post. Thanks for the judgement @ "apostacy". You literally haven't responded to why it makes sense to believe in a homicidial/genocidal/infanticidal/psychopathic Yahweh. You also haven't argued for why you base your faith on the invented notion of Jesus' resurrection. Also, you clearly contradicted yourself by saying that I am only non-theist to justify my apostacy even though you earlier wrote that God can choose to not reveal himself to someone seeking him. So which is it: non-theists are just bitter hence their unbelief? Or non-theists don't believe because Yahweh abdicated his supposed responsibily to reveal himself to them? So, there you go. PS: I understand that you may feel hurt and angry at someone challenging your deeply-held beliefs (thus the name calling), but you should calm down and critically contemplate the likelihood that Jesus never resurrected.

Antiparticle: quite funny of you. why trying to analyse a matter when you have already concluded? Apostacy? yes! what else do you one who had left his faith? you trying to accuse and judge God is simply laughable. the same way you complain that a just God allows wicked people and system to thrive. if he strikes, he is wicked, if he does not, he is unjust, or probably does not exist. see, I have met worse atheists or skeptics like you. so you don't prick me one bit. I only returned your arrogance back to you. antony flew, a former celebrated atheist, later believed in God. even a diehard skeptic like Voltaire once said that even if there were no god, it would be necessary to create one. whether you choose to believe or not, there is God. Thomas could not believe at first that Christ had resurrected until Jesus revealed himself to him. my experience with God has convinced me about Christ's resurrection. Jesus even told Thomas "because you saw me you believed, blessed are those, who having not seen me, yet believe". your type has been in bible prophecy, and you are now manifesting yourselves. if you really want to discover God, humble yourself and open up your soul. he will reveal himself to you. |

For They Do Not Wash Their Hands When They Eat Bread. 3: He( Jesus) Answered And Said To Them,'Why Do You Also Transgress The Commandment Of God Because Of Your Tradition? 4: For God Commanded,saying, Honour Your Father And Mother,and He Who Curses Father Or Mother,let Him Be Put To Death. 5: But U Say,' Whoever Says To His Father Or Mother, 'Whatever Profit You Might Have Received From Me Is A Gift From God 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Well Did Isaiah Prophesy About You, Saying: 8: These People Draw Near To Me With Their Mouth And Honor Me With Their Lips, But Their Heart Is Far From Me. 9: And In Vain They Worship Me, Teaching As Doctrines The Commandments Of Men.........Hey! Just So You Know,the Book Of Mathew Is In The New Testament, And Dat Was The Saying Of Ur Lord Jesus Rebuking You Hypocrites For Not Following The Commandment Of Ur God In The Killings Of Your Children For Dishonoring Their Parents. I Know For Certainty That You ( Kingebukablog And Other Christian Hypocrites And Bigots) Dishonored Your Parents So Many Times While Growing Up,but Unfortunately, Ur Parents Broke The Commandment Of God Because Christian Leaders Hid This From Them Parading Them With What Seems Good And Promising In The Bible Which Includes Extorting Their Poor Gullible Minds With Various 'Tithing' Passages... 2 Likes 2 Shares |

The Only Passages Your Hypocritical Pastors Would Show You In The Bible Is ' Spare The Rod, And Spoil The Child', Because It Appears Normal To Train Up Kids Using The Rod...Your Lazy And Dumb Asses Have Been Deceived All Along...Atleast You Can See It In Ur Bible Where Jesus Was Rebuking The Pharisees That They Have Forsaken The Commandment Of God ( Killing Of Infants And Young Children) By Adhering To Their Own Doctrines...This Shows That When Moses Gave The Law In The Old Testament, People Killed Their Children According To The Law, But After Thousands Of Years, People's Idea Changed,they Grew Off These Primitive And Barbaric Thinkings And They Stopped The Killing Of Their Children...This Of Course Was What Jesus Who Was A Scriptural And Religious ( Judaism) Fanatic Was Trying To Preach And Revive In Them Again Which Led To His Untimely Death...He Was All About Barbaric Doctrines And The Jews Knew All These...How Come You Dont Know? 3 Likes 2 Shares |

What A Loving And Blood Thirsty God?! A Lover Of The Blood Of Little Lambs And Children...Lmao....9: He Said To Them, " All Too Well You Reject The Commandment Of God,that You May Keep Your Tradition 10: ' For Moses Said, ' Honour Your Father And Mother,and He Who Curses Father And Mother, Let Him Be Put To Death 11: But You Say 'if A Man Says To His Father Or Mother, Whatever Profit You Might Have Received From Me Is Corban 12: Then You No Longer Let Him Do Anything For His Father Or His Mother 13: Making The Word Of God (old Testament,deu 21:18-21; Exo 21:16,17; Lev 20:9 etc) Of No Effect Through Your Tradition Which You Have Handed Down.

If you're properly learned you'd know that there are various illnesses that defy medical explanation. I mean, one could consult a medical practitioner for being sick, only to be told that they're perfectly fine. Mind you, there are various illnesses too that have never been diagnosed. I mean, just the same way scientists make new inventions is the same way new pathogens and diseases are diagnosed in the medical field. Mind you, I havnt said that this condition defies medical odds. I cannot ascertain what the actual ailment was just by looking at the video because it is unprofessional. But it seems like he had an inflammation at the cerebellum or cerebral cortex( there are other possible conditions too). In my field, and in science generally, nothing happens arbitrarily: meaning nothing springs up out of the blue (Cause and effect). This is nothing short of a miracle because the pus erupted at contact with the anointing water. My aim of bringing phil schneider into this discussion was to actually let whoever I quoted know that the supernatural really does exist. I mean, things beyond our carnal knowledge.
