That's likely the most accurate accounting of this entire thread JLM. However, I can't help but think that whatever your position on the issue, attempting to ram your personal philosophy down the throats of others is no different than the JW's going door-to-door and berating all those that don't follow their identical path.

It's a joke.

Discussing just about anything is pointless. It is just expressing opinion. It is communicating for the purpose of entertainment. We are here, we have this tool (computer & internet) and we exchange ideas. I express mine , you yours. What else can this be about? Is there some higher purpose, are we just killing time, or something in between? Whatever, I wonder if people think they are doing anything other than mentally masturbating. If so, it would be rather delusional.

What a let down and here I thought that the powers that be were paying careful attention to what we are saying. :lol::lol::lol:

That kind of image has always baffled me. Jesus, assuming he existed at all, was almost certainly a skinny little dark-skinned Levantine Jew. Why do the usual images of him look like a European Renaissance prince?


The Images of Christ were standardized into the one with occidental features, fully bearded with long hair about the 6th Century with the Christ Pantocrator. Varied images existed prior to that, but the art of iconography, especially in the Byzantine Church, developed standard visual cues to portray Jesus, Mary, the saints. It doesn't really matter, but he likely had semitic features, and accoutrements of a mendicant rabbi, including a beard.

Sounds pretty bleak, Cliffy, the mantra of a true relativist. Here's a theme song for you

I like this line from the original: Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.
I need to cultivate that more.

So if your children were taken you would sit back and have a few beers and what-nots and never give them a second thought. God would (and did) kill His one and only Son as part of the process to get us back. Of the two options listed is the 'caring path', the other is your path, which isn't caring.
wow Talk about leaping to assumptions. lol
Heree we have a god that allegedly says it gets jealous about other gods. Yet it supposedly is THE epitomy of gods and could wipe the other gods' out. It gets jealous? As I said, that's just inane. It's so powerful it can't even convince one of its own angels from turning bad. Yeah, that's all-powerful alright.
Leave my kids out of it. I'd die for them. I would never sacrifice one for anyone else. And that's not jealousy, that's favoritism.

Does this elevate your to the status of being a great and important person? Slander all others so you (and other non-believers) appear as the 'sane class'.
Don't exaggerate. Slander is spoken. If I damaged anyone else's reputation of anyone here, it would be libel. Having said that, who's reputation have I damaged?
It would seem to be more in line with an exaggeration of self-worth on your part rather than some defect in people who believe in God.
Sorry, but it is irrational that an "all-powerful" god would have designed anything to be jealous about in the first place. It simply does not make sense. Things that don't make sense are inane.

Quoting AnnaG Now, how omnipotent can a god be if it gets jealous? That's just inane.




C'mon Mhz, cut Anna some slack, afterall the comment is based on an educated guess - oops, that's educated guesswork. There must be some fabric supporting it. You ought to view her references, they're quite impressive.
Like you reviewed them? lmao
Anyway, I am so sorry, morgan. I should never have confronted you. It exascerbates your condition. I have been remiss in recognizing in you some of this group of signs:

* Anger
* Arrogance
* Capable of acting witty and charming
* Good at flattery and manipulating other people's emotions
* Lack of remorse or empathy
* Rejection of guilt

I have no idea about the first and last of those signs but we have seen you display the ones between.

In any case, I would imagine that Canadian Content isn't the only forum board you visit.

Again, I apologize deeply and sincerely.

BTW, uneducated guesswork gave us gods of various sorts to explain natural phenomena, a magical appearance of everything in the universe and even the universe itself, and a magical appearance of a god that can create itself. Educated guesswork gave us the facts behind lightning, evolution, etc.

The ironic part of discussing religion is it is doubtful if anyone of us knows what we are talking about...................:lol::lol::lol: It's good for entertainment though.
lol I can see that it may appear that way to some people. I can also see where some people would be confused about what they talk about. Some others DO know what they are talking about on a subjective basis because they've learned about themselves all their lives. :D

Yup. It's exercise. Perhaps with a little education involved.

Got a picture of the guy? Is there a first hand description in the history books of the guy by a relative or a friend?

That is the vanity of the Church and men, they want beauty, how many portray Jesus as being like this in attractiveness? Not One.
Isa:53:2:
For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant,
and as a root out of a dry ground:
he hath no form nor comeliness;
and when we shall see him,
there is no beauty that we should desire him.

Just another example how easy it is for God to slip things past men of authority who want things their way, and if it isn't that way it is worthless.
LOL Sheep are saved, goats are saved later, the events in that time difference should not be wished on anyone. For all the bashing God gets I'm not sure if any even know what they are talking about.

Let me put this as delicately as I can, shut up. You can agree with this statement as much as you want, and it may even be true with some, more cattle than sheep, at least sheep scatter when a wolf shows up.
That is unlike the blind in/to Scripture, God loves us so much that He break His own rules separates us, saved and saved later. Just like at the flood, man cannot be re-created but it can be 'regrown'. As in the days of Noah so is the last time before final Judgment. Toasted are these one before the humans are taken to to the Judgment Day Throne and all that entails.
Everybody starts in one pen and ends up in the other, not at their will but at the will of another. Every parent knows that power doesn't exist. From the get-go they live by the childs hours. To willingly have a child today is saying you have no life and you have decided to be a slave, forever.....either that or farm it off to the baby-sitters, etc....GOD (for all you Jewish readers)

I'm not sure if it it just neticate 'r not, but you should reply only once in a certain time-frame, post=bump. You should reply to all handles in an up to date manner (all-in-one theme). As you can tell I am guilty of that as well. What can I say????
Sort of like your kids (and all other generations that follow the same path)have no higher authority than you (for the better or the worse). Gos is no different, that is what the words 'mother hen' are meant to convey. Just a bit too early in the program for such feats to actually occur on a global scale. That is His realm, spreading the word only meant people had heard of this one particular God. Like I have already stated, after reading a great deal of it . It seems it doesn't matter a great deal. Entrance to Heaven is, for mortal men, almost a shoe-in. No change in behavior means a very short stay, ask Satan if words can also mean action completed without much (if any) effort.
The only God's standing today are mortal. To cut to the chase, God can resurrect people from the grave, if you can't do that the rest doesn't matter. Not that it is a little either.
If the fact that jealous is something that God can 'feel', think of it as motivation, even to the point of fury, and how that will be poured out.
M't:8:29:
And,
behold,
they cried out,
saying,
What have we to do with thee,
Jesus, thou Son of God?
art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

That is not past what you would feel about something you loved that could be retrieved.

lol I never claimed to be an expert typist. But I can spell.
Don't sweat it...I just found it Ironic in a 'is this a trap sort of way' since you don't usually misspeell ether

Don't exaggerate. Slander is spoken. If I damaged anyone else's reputation of anyone here, it would be libel. Having said that, who's reputation have I damaged?
Sorry, but it is irrational that an "all-powerful" god would have designed anything to be jealous about in the first place. It simply does not make sense. Things that don't make sense are inane.
Oh piss off. Did you not indicate that Bible believing people are a bit retarded (and therefore the same in all other matters as well)??
Fuk the courts, I'm wondering if you are are a fuktard or not. On close examination I doubt you have been exposed to very much Scripture on a read it yourself basis.

He didn't design it to fail...however He did make plans to retrieve anything that was "lost or stolen" (like what the graves hold even now) Not all that hard to say but mine/our God is an emotional God. Garden ..hello... grass tickles feet.. all worth it in the end...that God.
So how did He become a tyrant in your world?? (with the hope that you skip this and get back to the topic whic is now throughly dead)

''giving themselves over to fornication,
and going after strange flesh''


MHz,


Thank you for your reply.

The reference to ''strange flesh'' was of angels having sex and procreating with human females. It was not, as is commonly believed, a reference to homosexual activity.

I appreciate the attempted update, all fallen angels were put in the pit (during the flood) and therefore null and void of any actual influence in the affairs of man ever since that time. Cepting the time that is just before the day of the Lord.

The place where Jesus was crucified is called (spiritually)Sodom in Revelation. At that time the abomination is putting a throne for a man in place that is considered sacred ground. Good luck with that one lol Being gay certainly is a no go at that scene. That is all about Satan marking his sons. Gets about as far as the sin(s) in the garden, nowhere...fast.
Strange flesh for men is a woman other than their wife. That would include men and all other species of life within reach.

MHz, your posts #215, 216, and 219 in this thread are magnificently incoherent, I have no idea what you're going on about, and remarks like "Oh piss off" and "Fuk the courts" are not your usual style. Maybe you shouldn't post when you're under the influence... :-?
