My sides hurt! :lol:
 
Then take a bracelet or a ring. With it put the bracelet/ring on your left hand. your left hand represents you. sin is anything against God. the bracelet/ring represents sin. if your left hand represents you then you must have sin on you. then take your right hand which represents Jesus Christ. And remove the bracelet/ring from your left hand. now sin is not there. you see when Jesus died for you he removed your sin from you. the greatest part of that story is Jesus rose again now we can live together in heaven which is achieved by. telling God you are wrong And asking for forgiveness and know Jesus is now lord of your life what he says goes. If you do not repent (tell God you are wrong). then sadly you will burn in hell. If you do not go to heaven it will not be because i did not warn you. REMEMBER YOUR CHOICE IS FOREVER.
 


I don't wear rings or bracelets so by that logic I have never sinned, cool! [:mousemonkey]
 
Maybe this is what you need.
My position: i'm not a "sinner". i'm not a mormon either, but i'm not a thief, i'm not a killer, i'm not Oprah, so i don't think i need to be forgiven for anything.
But you?
how can you say your god will forgive you just because you remove your bracelet from your hand?
how can you say that your god don't have love and compassion for those who don't pray him and say they believe in his existence?
If your God is harsh with those who do not ask for forgiveness, how does he react with people who demonstrate enough sufficiency to tell others how they should manage their lives and what they should believe?

I like this quote from Marcus Aurelius:

“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved"

This one hits home because its what all religion says be a good person, its simple dummy, you dont need zombie Jesus to be a good person.





 
I see so you believe that what is true for you is true for you. But what is true for me is true for me. Then if you believe this then answer this.

What is truth defined as? And if you define truth in your own standards how do we know your definition is true. what determines something is true? Is it by convincing everyone that your wright? No if that were the case evolution would be a scientific law. Something is true weather i say it is or not. I believe in everything the bible says. I believe this is true. For think of what it is it explains everything where as evolution may only explain nature. And not What i feel. If evolution were true i would likely not have any feelings. Think of everything Christianity may explain. For even you cannot explain where we go when we die.
 



Euuh... yes... what is true is true... yes.
I even venture to say that what is wrong is wrong.




You're asking too much definitions, man.
Maybe you should try the dictionary... i'm afraid you ask me more definitions if i answer to you.
But let's try.

In my language, the word truth comes from Latin verus. It represents what is true in the "real" meaning.
The truth is the adequacy between what is real and judgment contained in the proposal. This is validated by experience.
But we can also talk about truth validated by deductions starting from postulates and axioms admitted. This truth does not depend on experience.

But I quite like the idea of Kant on the subject and his theory of knowledge explained in "Critique of Pure Reason" with the criticism.


 
I think Gropouce summed it up pretty well but ill ad one or two things.

Kyle do you literally believe everything in the bible? Not just the stories and meaning but do you think God made wimin out of Adams rib (which is really funny if you think about it, God makes everything out of nothing but Adam, bro, Im gonna need your rib for one last thing), or that if you have no testicles you wont get into heaven? Or that owning and raping slaves is okay?

A great David Cross joke that rings true.
"Back when the Bible was written...then edited...then rewritten, then rewritten, then re-edited, then translated from dead languages, then re-translated, then edited, then rewritten, then given to kings for them to take their favorite parts, then rewritten, then re-rewritten, then translated again, then given to the pope for him to approve, then rewritten, then edited again, the re-re-re-re-rewritten again...all based on stories that were told orally...30 to 90 years AFTER they happened...to people who didn't know how to write...so...."
 

If Adam and Eve were the first and only humans were did their children (Kane and Able) get their wives from?
 


Aliens!
 


Spooky! That's what I've always thought was the basis for most if not all religions! :lol:
 
I guess that means aliens have visited here within the last 6000 years? Doubtful....... because we are still here. Any being capable of that kind of travel would have put us out of our misery.

The language spoken the most on this planet is Mandarin. The world's language of business, is English. The language of the universe is mathematics. It amazes me how so many people can ascribe to stories made of prophets, deities & Gods but refuse to acknowledge a number greater than 6000.
 


Yes, it is the "Religion and Politics" section. Essentially all of the things you don't talk about in polite company, or the things that dominate the AM radio spectrum 😀
 


That's is a very simple answer. Obviously Adam and eve were the first people on earth. So where did Cain and able gets their wives? Because in the time of Adam and eve there were no restrictions on not marrying a family member. And so Cain and Abel had you know what with their sisters. Those rules became rules when the Hebrews left Egypt and to go to the promised land.That is many many many years after Adam and eve. Also your history is a bit veg.

Chapter 18
1 And the Lord said to Moses, 2 Say to the children of Israel, I am the Lord your God. 3 You may not do those things which were done in the land of Egypt where you were living; and you may not do those things which are done in the land of Canaan where I am taking you, or be guided in your behaviour by their rules. 4 But you are to be guided by my decisions and keep my rules, and be guided by them: I am the Lord your God. 5 So keep my rules and my decisions, which, if a man does them, will be life to him: I am the Lord. 6 You may not have sex connection with anyone who is a near relation: I am the Lord. 7 You may not have sex relations with your father or your mother: she is your mother, you may not take her. 8 And you may not have sex relations with your father's wife: she is your father's. 9 You may not take your sister, the daughter of your father or of your mother, wherever her birth took place, among you or in another country. 10 You may not have sex relations with your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter, for they are part of yourself; 11 Or your father's wife's daughter, the child of your father, for she is your sister. 12 You may not have sex connection with your father's sister, for she is your father's near relation. 13 You may not have sex connection with your mother's sister, for she is your mother's near relation. 14 You may not have sex relations with the wife of your father's brother, for she is of your family; 15 Or with your daughter-in-law, for she is your son's wife, and you may not take her. 16 You may not have sex relations with your brother's wife, for she is your brother's. 17 You may not take as wife a woman and her daughter, or her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter, for they are of one family: it is an act of shame.
Lev 18:1-17 (BBE)
