ElsonMorali:KNOWING HIM MORE also implies asking how He came to be |

Respect55:God/gods were created by men and still are being created by men as we speak. Religions are system created by men for their God/gods. Throughout history, there were and still are some people who claim to be God/gods and son of God/gods. Most of those persons claim wasn't accepted, while few of the persons claim were accepted. Jesus was an ordinary human like us. He was lair and self glorifying man in which his fantasy claim happened to accepted by some illiterate people in the past and present. |

Respect55:on this religion section, we have committed formidable sins, you know that. We have used this section to commit all kinds of sin that had never been committed in this country. So when you keep doing something that does not give us profit but deep us in trouble what do we do ? We change, there must be a time to change things must not and can not be going the same direction forever. But in you, i have seen an evil activation code. You are about to be used to add to our punishments, you are about yo be used to make us go deep down there more. So, I don't want you to add more. Only you can get more deep down down, save others of this please. Don't hard to it. One of the problems in this country is when some idiots like you come up to say what not someone business on what is going on in public. This is a public place in wish I have interest just as you do, so in some cases I may not be negligent, I don't want to be negligent in this case because it is public place in which all of us have one interest or the other. My points, if you want to make finding, research and the people you are asking are pushing it back to you then use your brain. Don't play evil, don't drag them to it that may save them of many troubles. Even if it can not save them from the ones they have committed but it would refrain them commuting more. If you ask them this kind of question it means you send them on an arrand to find and search it for you and they may end up causing havoc that is why they were avoiding your thread. Woe unto he by which his brothers commit sin. What I am sure of is you are about to be activated for a purpose but don't do that here. |

Respect55: Wrong! That's vain and self seeking. Knowing him more starts with increased self knowledge (know thyself), for you my brother were created in His image and likeness. |

Respect55:I'm not deviating from the thread. The name of the thread is "who created God?" and I truthfully answered his question. Why are you believers angry when the truth about your fantasy religion is being exposed? |

Respect55: But invariably it is. Some people seek knowledge for self gratification and for a sense of exaltation above their peers. Others seek knowledge as a light to their path, realizing that their life is a journey and would be better tread If they had the light of life. Why do you seek the knowledge of God? Your answer will determine what your action will be when you reach the limit of your natural human perception of God. You'll either be prideful which leads to atheism, or you become humble discovering your nothingness before the Almighty, which will transport you increased relationship with Him whom you seek. |

Respect55:It makes me know you more. It makes me see who I am talking with. It tells me who you are so, not that I am doing that to hurt someone but to know someone but get at least 70% of your inbuilt value. You are free to do same to me if it gives you value Long essay? You said you did not understand my previous comment then I added with the later. |

Respect55: I see you want me to be going round and round in circles explaining myself over and over again. I'm sure whatever other questions you might think to ask concerning this has been answered in one of my previous posts here. I won't be used to increase the length of your thread. I'm out. |

ilynem: Sorry to burst your bubble bros but the bible is not all you claim it is. So many biblical prophecies have failed and fallen flat on their faces. I cant start mentioning them here The messianic prophecies of jesus are very ambiguous and do not in any way point to Jesus. The most popular prophecy of Jesus being born of a virgin has been widely misinterpreted by xtians. The hebrew word in the prophecy was alma which means young woman, if the prophecy meant virgin then the word bethulah would hav been used. The bible has faded out of modern western moral compass. So many things that were accepted as normal by the bible like slavery, misogyny etc have been debunked by secular humanists and have been eventually banned, in this case the bible was clearly outpaced by human morality. The bible isnt scientifically accurate in any way It claims diseases are caused by demons instead of pathogens It claims the world is flat - a claim that has been debunked a long time ago It claims the world has a firmament and the sun and the stars are in the firmament and even claims in the book of revelation that the stars will fall to the earth - something that is purely laughable from an astronomical point of view There are uncountable unscientific claims in the bible. Modern archaeology disproves the bible in so many ways. The flood story, the six day creation etc have been proven to be impossible by modern science Your bible fails the test of a universally acclaimed word of god. 1 Like |

LiberaDeus:Job 26:7 (on the earth hanging on nothing) Isaiah 40:22 (on the shape of the earth) Gal 3: 26:28 (on slavery and misogyny) As for your "virgin" point. Alma means young woman but can also be used to describe a virgin as all young unmarried maidens where believed to be virgins. And it might surprise you to know that when Jewish rabbis started translating the Hebrew texts into Greek, they translated the word alma into "parthenos" which is the Greek word for virgin. This was 200 years before the birth of Jesus and these people didn't even believe in a virgin birth. |

Respect55: Some Gods are characters created by humans who encode natural laws and secrets which they may have learnt by keen observation or outright plagiarism which they then use every talent, gift, media and knowledge of natural laws to support and market. It is a tool for domination. |

Respect55: You see sir,don't try to understand what is beyond you .the knowledge ,discoveries ,geniuses etc are all creation of God and he has decided the extent of your knowledge in this world . the prob with us humans is that we understand god using human view ,we equate in our subconscious minds as a created being and question his creation ...when u stand looking beyond human thinking and creation and view. It as a whole in cluding beyond earthh,you will then Come to understand that he is what he is ...and he is beyond your knowledge ..he is king of kings,lord of lords,he comes in all his majestic form and you comprehend as he wants you to |

ilynem: I will first present a small list of failed biblical prophecies Genesis 26:4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed. Here God tells Isaac that his descendents (Hebrews) will be as numerous as the stars. Considering the number of stars there are in the universe, that would have to be on the order of 1020 Jewish people. Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Christians say that this verse is a prophecy of Jesus' birth to a virgin. There are a couple problems with this prophecy...First, virgin in this verse is a mistranslation of the Hebrew word "almah", which actually means "young woman". A young woman is not necessarily a virgin. "Bethulah" would have been the correct word to use if the author meant virgin. Second, nowhere in the New Testament is Jesus referred to as Immanuel. Isaiah 17:1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. Damascus is still inhabited today with over a million people, and hardly a ruinous heap. Isaiah 19:4-5 And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts. And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up. The river mentioned here is the Nile. The Nile is still one of Egypt's greatest natural resource. Isaiah 19:18 In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction. The Canaanite language has never been spoken in Egypt, and is now an extinct. Isaiah 52:1 Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean. There are uncircumcised people living in Jerusalem even today. Ezekiel 29:10-11 Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia. No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years. Never in its long history has Egypt ever been uninhabited for forty years. Amos 9:15 And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God. Many times, Jews have been pulled up out of their land. The ownership of their land is still being fought for. Jonah 3:4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. Nineveh was never overthrown. Why? Because God changed his mind in verse 3:10, despite what Malachi 3:6, Numbers 23:19 and Ezekiel 24:14 says about God never changing his mind. Jonah 3:10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not. Zechariah 11:12 And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. Christians say that this prophecy is was fulfilled when Judas received 30 pieces of silver for betraying Jesus. Matthew 27:9 recites this verse, but incorrectly credits Jeremiah with the prophecy. Matthew 1:22-23 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Again, Jesus is never referred to as Emmanuel (Immanuel). Matthew 2:23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene. Nowhere in the Old Testament is such a prophecy found, so how could such a one be fulfilled? Matthew 12:5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless? There is no passage in the Old Testament that can be attributed to what Jesus is saying here. Matthew 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Jesus states that all the signs marking the end of the world in Matthew 24 would be fulfilled before his generation ended. That generation ended 2000 years ago, and the world has not come to an end, neither has all those signs been fulfilled. Matthew 27:9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value. This prophecy was never spoken by Jeremiah. Matthew 26:64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. Jesus tells the high priest that he would see his second coming. The high priest is long dead, and Jesus hasn't returned yet. Throughout the New Testament, the end of the world is prophesied as being very near, at hand, to be witnessed by those living at the time. Paul often told the people he preached to that they would be witnesses to Jesus' second coming. They are all long gone. Let me face your points The bible never condemned slavery but just regulated it. Show me just one verse in the bible that condemns slavery. I am 100% sure that you wont find it. Bethulah means virgin and thats the word used in the bible to portray virgin. |
