kimco:1. And what part of my response is not in line with what scripture says of God? 2. How does that indicate that God does not work in the evenings? How did you get that from what is written? If anything, we are instead told that He rested on the Seventh day. |

Kobojunkie:1. I stated that an omnipotent God doesn't need 6 days to create the universe, it should be instant. And you are here telling me he could've dragged it if he wanted..for what reason? That's why I'm disappointed in your answer... You are only assuming what Yahweh is capable of without proof. In a book that tries to show the best of Yahweh, he created the universe in 6 days....i guess even Yahweh is bound by time. Not surprised. 2. Are you kidding me? How are you not getting this? God created the world in 6 days. At the end of each creation day, the author say , ".and there was evening and there was morning...." This doesn't tell you that God didnt work in the evening? How are you not getting this? Why am i still debating over something this obvious? |

kimco:1. I stated that even an omnipotent God can take as short or as long as He wants when doing any job. It's up to Him. 2. Let me make it simpler then. Where does the writer posit that God stopped working at the end of each creation day or night? Where did God go at the end of each work day? |

Kobojunkie: 1. You are assuming. You cant assume he can do it instantly, because at his best, he used 6 days. 2. You are only dragging....Im sure my message has reached others to think critically...you are just being slick. Im done |

What did you show me, a couple of statements from philosophers stating their beliefs in a god how is that evidence?

KnownUnknown: The brain is one of the most complex organs in the human body. It is made up of more than 100 billion nerves that communicate in trillions of connections. It is the physical powerhouse of the soul as it were. It's like your transformer converting electricity for your use. If your brain is fried, evidently, you will struggle to physically show emotions. It does not mean that you lack emotions, just that you cannot show them more physically. |

XXXXTENTACION: ================= "God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’ Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising." - Acts 17:24-29 If you are the Lord's you will want to worship Him for His goodness, kindness, mercy... He is worthy! When someone does something good for you, do you not thank him or her? Some will even lie down for other men and say "we are loyal sir".... how much more so GOD Almighty who created all things and has your life in His hands?! "Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!" - Psalm 107: 8, 15, 21, 31 |

kimco: In this case, we have said the same thing so why different conclusions? Science is consistent and measurable, it is principled. i don't know where the 100 figure came out from though. How you say science is not specific is funny, anyway i'll let it slide. Emotions are not specific, consistent or consistently reproducible. The exact same conditions that make you burst into tears today may make you angry tomorrow or simply whimper. When things are measured especially human behaviour, we accept the general consensus (through experimentation and research by observation) as the best possible explanation. We cannot account for every single human being on earth...not possible. If a human being smiles while watching a gruesome murder we assume something is wrong...cos the consensus is that, all things being equal, a human being should not be smiling in that case. That's the anomaly I'm talking about Not necessarily an anomaly, it depends on many things. But not to divert, the point from here is that the same gruesome scene will not produce the same emotion in you 10 or 2 different times. And it's same for everyone. It is not consistent, science is consistent. Science doesn't always include a lab and test tubes, there are many tools for testing. You know that's why i asked you what science is na, since my view is very narrow. But you forgot to tell me. There is a reason why a lady wanting to make her lover jealous will engage in certain things....she knows he is very likely to be jealous...if he isnt, she is shocked... Lol, not just a reason but a billion reasons, exactly why emotion is not subject to science. |

Image123: The brain in too complex, like you point it, to be compared to a transformer. But if i follow your analogy, the soul uses the brain as a conduit for interacting with the world and any damage to the brain limits the ability of the soul to interact with the world. Is that correct? If it’s correct, where exactly is the soul and can it function independent of the brain? A vegetative person that is hooked up to a machine can be kept alive and even respond to some physical stimuli but dies when unhooked from the machine. Image123: There is difference between lacking emotions and being unable to show them physically. Stephen Hawking had a brain fully capable of emotions but was unable to show them physically while DMX had a damaged brain incapable of emotions while still physically capable. All we can say is that emotions depend of the functioning of the brain unless you show where the soul is, how it interacts with the brain, and whether it is wholly dependent on the brain. If you insist the soul is an emergent property of the brain, then you have to explain the difference or similarities between consciousness and soul. |

Re: If God Is All Powerful Then Why Does He Need People To Worship Him? by KnownUnknown: 3:36pm On May 23, 2021 |
Image123: It’s ironic that you claim emotion is not subject to science while using objective observation, which is a scientific methodology. The fact that the same stimuli doesn’t evoke the same emotion after multiple exposures is a scientific observation about how the brain reacts to stimuli. Yet you claim emotions are not subject to science. |

Why do you think your father cannot sleep with your mother honourably? You were conceived in the doggy-style position, the only position your denisovan parents know. It is sad to observe that the only thing your father contributed to your conception was a rage-driven rape and insemination of his watery semen on your mother's disease-ridden uterus that left you birthed with humanity's worst birth defect.

KnownUnknown: How else do you expect me to explain them to you, via scriptural methodology? i have to use what you understand/believe/know to help explain what you do not understand/believe/know. Thank God i have someone at last that knows for a FACT that the same stimuli doesn't evoke the same emotion. You must be godsent . However it is not scientific as it is not predictable, consistent or measurable. How on earth do you measure guile or treachery, how do you weigh love and excitement? |

Seems your drooling mother shot you out in a public toilet when she mistook her labour signs for poop signals. Words on the public pub is that your mom takes more dick in the ass than she could recount. Hence you need brain surgery to wipe out the shit you have for brains. Your parents should be looking to adopt if you're their only son. |

Judas1X: One of the Crosses and Nails A Lover of God must know is that there is a time for everything and a purpose for everything. And one of the times and purposes is that We Know What Our True Father likes at each specific period of time, there is a time to pick up stones and there is a time to die! And I'll gladly obey God and be Killed than to obey anyone and live. So go ahead, continue with your murdering of me for I am not yet dead!! |

KnownUnknown: You've done well and correct to follow the analogy. The soul of man is the real man, the physical body is just the container. The soul of man is chiefly responsible for intellect, emotion and decision. It connects the physical world chiefly via the brain, which is the nerve centre as it were. It is one reason why we are not all 100% instinct or reason i.e people do things despite even their own reasoning or instinct. In that angle, it functions independent of the "brain" that you expect to reason. If the angle you are referring to is after death of the physical brain, then we will have to proceed to the scriptures. i guess you know the answer there. A vegetative person that is hooked up to a machine can be kept alive and even respond to some physical stimuli but dies when unhooked from the machine. Close to what i said above. The body is the major thing physically. Souls and spirits are not subject to physical stimuli and discussion. There is difference between lacking emotions and being unable to show them physically. A working brain will pass emotions, just like you described Hawking. Like you see, he needed a body or physical aid to fully pass across his emotions and intellect. How will you cry without eyes no matter how much you feel like? What do you define as consciousness? The soul is not a property of the brain, the soul is the real human. It expresses itself via the body, the brain being the headquarters. |
