Here is what the Bible says: Ezekiel 37:24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. Jesus IS David

The Tower of Babel is Mankind's religions. Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism... each contain a brick of the tower. The capstone of the church is Christianity, but you can't build a tower with just the capstone. Indeed, Jesus warned us of wolves in sheep's clothing who would come...

Jesus descends from David in the same way that John the Baptist descends from Elijah

Not true. The Bible says that God will make his faithful servants ruler over all that He owns. If you are the child of God, then what does a child grow up into? If God is omniscient, then isnt any being which is also omniscient, therefore also God? God will give you whatever power and...

Am I furious that I exist? No. Why should I be? Am I furious that life contains experiences? No. Why should I be? Neither do I believe in eternal torture. I believe this is a false doctrine invented by the church to pressure people to obey. Luke 3:6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of...

Luke 22 34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me. God definitely knows people will sin or else this prophesy and others like it would not be possible, and neither would God be God due to lacking omniscience...

I answered that question twice already but you ignored the answer both times. Everything has its male and female properties. Without suffering, there can be no bliss, because one is just the inverse of the other. If God were not to experience an experience then the experience would not exist...

Yes, that is my point, an all-powerful and all loving and omniscient and perfect God. Don't ask "why is there suffering", ask why ANYTHING, pain, pleasure, knowledge, ignorance, death life, matter energy, why does ANYTHING at all exist? This is the deeper question which will reveal the answer...

And I keep hearing this implication from you and IOU that theists are somehow mentally ill. Does having peace and contentment with fate, whatever it may bring, disturb one's mental state? I have never observed this to be true. Rather what I find disturbs a man's mental state is the idea that...

The old "why would a perfect God create a world filled with suffering?" argument. There is a deeper question: why would a perfect God create a universe at all? Once you understand the answer to this, you will also understand why there is suffering. What atrocities? What does any of this mean...

Oddly enough, there is another place John 10:34 “Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?”

Have you ever heard me requesting blind faith from you? I believe that a person should exercise their judgement, and neither should they believe in a contradiction. I have heard all sorts of nonsense and lazy half-answers from Christians on Christianity; university professors on history and...

The idea of some people as psychopaths is really just a way of dehumanizing them. The Bible calls it having a heart of stone. Having a heart of flesh hurts, so people often don't want to feel anything. Atheism and agnosticism are also beliefs. Your logic has led you to one conclusion, and my...

I have wondered, since Jesus was a man, did he physically see Satan and speak directly to him? Or did he feel temptation first, and thereby recognize Satan's implicit but unseen presence? If Satan is the lord of the flesh, the lord of worldliness, and if your assertion is true, that Moses...

Like between siblings I don't know what Matthias or I have done to deserve such abuse. We're just having a peaceful discussion.

John 13 34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Ah, okay, now I see what you are asking. The essential argument for the trinity, in the very simplistic way I understand it, is that the Father is the binding force of all things. I suppose you could say that it is God's primary consciousness. The Son is the Logos of God, which is, I suppose...

I don't know what your position is, and I am only responding to what you are saying recently. Many humans do

To elaborate on this a little: In what realm does omnipotence exist? In the realm of the mind. Your existence, is within God's mind. This makes you an aspect of God's consciousness.

You said "body mind and soul" should be replaced with "body mind and emotion" which seemed to me to be implying that you did not believe in a metaphysical soul. I don't know what your full position is, I haven't read this thread from the beginning. You'll have to clue me in. I wouldn't...
