Religion VS Science

[Demon 8]

Can you explain anything without reference to your religious book? How did people make decisions before it existed?

Just asking?

Oddly enough....astronomy

 

[Prof]

Oh boy! Here we go...and is not astronomy science?

HAH! Back on topic!!!!!

Sure I can.As long as it is a non-spiritual type question.

Well,I can't answer that.
I truly believe that God will speak to anyone who will listen (more so that He IS speaking,we just usually aren't listening).The Bible is just a collection of what He has said already to others.Some of specific,some of it general.

This conversation reminds me of a song:

Astronomy or astrology :dontknow: :dontknow:

 

[Demon 8]

Is that for real or being facetious ?

I already have been (seriously)
And wrote books and put out magazines,not that it matters

I was being a smart ass. I dont like to be rude and in all seriousness I dont want to be but you sound like Jim Baker.
The bible is all interpretation, it should be left at that, believe what the words tell you or dont. Being pushy by pretending to know exactly what God meant is what I have a problem with. I dont mean you I mean the way you are made to feel when you go to church. I have no desire to ever go back. I lead my life making as good a choice as I can and live without regret. If I am sent to hell in the end or just kept out of a heaven I dont believe in because I wouldnt live my life believing in a translation of a very old book, so be it. I wouldnt want to believe in a God that would punish me for being a good person.

Apologies this would be better in a rant thread.
No disrespect towards you, I just dont agree with what you are saying

You piss me off

Sit on it!

Nelson, I love you.....

You have more slippery responses than an eel on a chopping block.

You will never convince me of any of this "Word of Faith" crap.... I led worship for and with Jesse Duplantiss, Jerry Savelle and a host of other big names in the movement..... They know me by name.... I lived within the "Word of Faith" community for 25 fkn years and watched half those guys go to prison like Bob Tilton and Jim Baker.....

I know you won't give it up, but you can't say one thing that I haven't said (in error) myself over a thousand times......

I still love ya, though bro..... No horseshit........:congrats:

D

And I still love ya back !

I have seen some fall from the faith (not just the Word of Faith community) myself.Really hurt me,too.Not just emotionally,but in my spiritual walk.
However,I have been practicing this for almost 30 years.I have seen it work far too many times to ever doubt it.The only failures were on the part of the person praying.

You sound like Rousseau...and he was very wise.

No the rapture was created by another man in the late 18 and early 1900's along with dispensation, bs. also scieance has help prove alot of the stories are more a fact then a figment of ones imagination. First I believe in God and science. And some of darwins bs is true we do evolve we get smarter we get stronger and adapt to situations so do animals. But to believe we came from apes then who is more childish the one who believes in God or the bible or the one who believe a monkey is superior to you. One created the other so again it is all once again a matter of opinoin. I will find the article but archeologists have discovered bones of homosapien, neanderthal and the sapaiens bones where older by a few thousand years, that kinda disprove darwins theory right there but again who controls what. As the saying goes we'll see who is right in the end Drinks are on me

Actually it does nothing to disprove his theory. Evolution does not run in a straight line, it is filled with many branches, some of which are dead ends.

And because a species does evolve from another does not mean that the original species must disappear.

I thought so.

Two totally different ways of looking at the stars.
My ancestors were totally convinced of the veracity of the Farmers Almanac for all aspects of life on the farm.

You may know the source of this ,Tim

"God,what is the number one problem in the Body of Christ ?"

"Your dogged determination to try to correct one another."

I fully believe it

Or maybe Mohammad, Krishna, Buddha, Zoroaster, or Baha'ullah...

I will read more but so far I dont believe that you were disrespecting me
Sounds like he was almost the first hippie.

 

[Prof]

People who revere Rousseau believe that a supreme power imbued humans with the ability to determine right from wrong, and left to their own decision making, will generally make the right decision.

Rousseau believed that mankind was fundamentally good, and left to his own rational thinking, would lead a just and correct life.

It was a compliment, and support of your process of determining right from wrong.:rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock:

But I'm sticking with my guy...... After all, it's a Name that I've known and trusted for nearly 60 years.

One should always, "Dance with the one that brung ya'...."
