The danger is not in any God punishing you because you don't believe in Him, He is too emotionally balanced

Stopped reading right there.

and if you read my post i said there are no proof,
which means all i need is just a tangible proof
and i will know...
So you that have no proof but still is convinced are you not the one that is
becoming dogmatic?
This is where atheists err, they want to understand God using the intellect. The intellect can only know of that is material, it is a product of the brain with is physical thus can only know what is physical. But God is of a different constituent entirely, it will always remain a mystery for the intellect.
God's existence can only be sensed by the spirit and your belief that nothing spiritual exist blocked your spirit senses. And this is where we're different, with my belief in spirit then my senses are not hindered to sense and this is while I always advice to have at least a thought of what if spirit exist, this simple thought can still make you sense to some degree because you're not completely closing yourself up to the possibility.
You're looking for evidence of the existence of God which your intellect can understand is a futile journey and can never be realized.
Once again I advice harbour the possibility of the existence of spirits then you can start sensing.

The danger is not in believing in God but in the belief that there is no life after death which completely blocks sensing with the spirit.

Well in that case, I reckon that there is twice as much we don't know than we do know.
For things I can neither prove to self nor others, I keep an open mind.

Last I checked, impossibility is still Nothing.

And whats ur proof for believing in life after death?

Ask urself assuming their is life after death in what extension will you exist,
in this planet earth our extension is the human body, we have form.
eyes, nose, mouth tongue, hands, feet, brain, lungs and all this are possible
because we have flesh then if their is a conscious soul that exists after
death in what state? in what form or extension will it exist since we all know
all the things i mentioned above are all human traits.??
So when you hear the word spirit what comes to your mind is something not substantial, something just floating around with no form and shape? Spirits are VERY much substantial, they have form, you can hold them, they have weight. So I answered your question already, we exist after death in spirit body which is very substantial just like your physical body is right now to the exist that some people don't even realised they are dead because is just as substantial as your physical body is right now.

That is the point OPEN MIND. Even the physical word we can see and touch we can not say emphatically that we have seen and know it all. If microscope wasn't developed who will have known anything about microorganisms even though they're something physical.

Lolzzz and now take a look at this? The human brain is responsible for our perception and this your belief in spirit is still a product of your brain (Imagination )

You agree they are no evidences or proof for spirits or afterlife yet you are convinced that they exist, are you not kidding your own intellect?

Am still laughing at the notion that one cannot comprehend the spiritual using only human intellect but you are still trying to give me a concept of the spiritual even tho you are yet a human. I wonder how you do it (spiritual brain that controls ur spiritual intellect?) hehehehe am sure you know.you dont have that.

Why should you ask me to blindly believe what their are no proof what so ever? I think you should first get your facts straight..

Hahahahahahahahahaha and this sums it all up... Am done with you..

This is still the same you that said that the spirit cannot be perceived with human intellect and then here you utter this @bolded

If spirits have form, and have weight then its matter and the last i checked it only takes the human intellect to perceive matter...(why is it we still cannot boast of any evidence for something that substantial.... hmmmm i wonder)

So sir... Go get your facts straight and stop the contradictions..

Here ends our discussion bro..

Op.
What if I don't believe in Sky god. Am I an atheist? I believe in the life giving spirit within.
Am I in danger too?

you choose to rebel against God, you are risking your eternity.

A Creator God, if He exists, must,
by definition, exist beyond the limits of
the universe in order to have created it.
The laws of physics tell us that we cannot make measurements beyond the limits of this universe. Therefore, scientists can conclusively determine that we cannot ever detect God using any of our instruments.

Christians are far more likely than
atheists to be part of groups that work
hard to instill values about being good to other people, and having good
relationships. The teachings of the Bible
emphasize values such as honesty, love,
forgiveness, patience, and generosity.
Many of these values are not emphasized in social circles dominated
by atheists.

the post indicate christians and atheists. There are many reason to believe in God, there things only God could have known in does days, it take scientists long time to discovered it.

Job 38:24 By what way is the light
parted, which scattereth the east wind
upon the earth
?
In the book of Job, Job is asked by a
person calling himself God, a list of
questions intended to show him how
small Job really was in comparison with
the universe around him. This particular
question demands of Job how the light
was parted (by day into night) and how
that light makes the east wind blow.

Now we, today, can answer that question. Job could not. The light causes
the east wind to blow because the dawn
heats the air that has been cooled all
night. As the air cooled, it had contracted until it basically reached an equilibrium.

Then when dawn creeps towards the
horizon it begins to heat the air nearby,
and as this air is heated it expands,
causing a higher pressure than the still-
cool air of the night, which makes the
east wind “blow”.
We know this! God knew this! But NO
ONE ELSE COULD HAVE KNOWN THAT
LIGHT CAUSES WIND! No one in the
entire planet suspected a connection
between light and wind UNTIL around 500 years ago! Until then no one really had the faintest clue how light really worked! Only God could have INSPIRED that section of Job, probably written thirty- five CENTURIES ago!!

Hallucination!!!
When a person in near death experience tells of what he observed out of the body and later confirmed to be so, you call that hallucination and I haven't heard of any hallucination which can be confirmed in reality.
You will remember I said "let first start with near death accounts" this means their is actual account of death experience..Have you ever heard of mediums?

You just showed your complete ignorance and still laughing at it!!!
If you read my posts right you will realize I keep say "spirit body senses" just as your physical body as it senses to be cognizant of it environment so does your spirit body has it own senses to experience it environment. You can not use the senses of your physical body to sense spiritual things, spirit body senses are used. Do you expect to see a spirit with your eyes? You're so ridiculous, people whose spirit eyes are open sees spirit things and are very substantial, so stop laughing at your ignorance

Near deaths are still under study and is said to be a mental awareness or psychological illusion of such patients due to the impending death.

Spirit senses in a human...

You're.missing the definition of what human is, human is a spirit in a physical body, man is not the body it is only using the physical body to experience the physical matter.
By the explanation above am sure you will now understand that man don't need spirit senses to perceive physical things that is the work of the physical senses if the spirit senses can perceive perfectly the physical things then he doesn't need the physical body in the first place, I only said we use SPIRIT SENSES TO PERCEIVE SPIRITUAL THINGS, this is what I keep saying yet you keep missing it.

I keep getting it and keep telling you their is no proof or empirical evidence for this your spirit spirit spirit you keep yapping... Just provide me with a tangible proof..

You assertion that man is spirit in a body have just betrayed all your argument cus thats just what you believe in...

Remember you said spirits have form and weight (matter) Am still wondering how you hope to reconcile that with the concept of spirit sense only can perceive spirit... If spirit have form and weight then how can you now say it wont take the human sense to percieve..
