Kobojunkie:
According to page 29 of the book, Jesus Christ is indeed said to have been born of gentiles, Aryan blood hence flowing through Him.

I haven't read the book in a while but I do know Spencer gives reasons for his statements. But even if those statements are "baloney", he does not ask that he be believed but that you understand.

So, what reasons does he give for his Aryan claim?

Do you not know that trump is the magagod and [url=https://classic.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+7%3A21&version=NIV]some Christians are Lordists[/url]?

OLAADEGBU:
If you cannot show me where I made those claims then you have just proved that you are the confirmed child of your father.

Going through your posts would deaden my mind and you'd only shout "misquote" when I'm done. Even you can see through your forest if you but open your eyes and look.

This book has Greek in it, and Latin too, neither of which I can read, in case anyone wondered. I got enough trouble dictionarying every other English word to worry much about the Greek and the Latin which he intentionally uses as a veil like the Cherubims with flaming swords which turn every way lest we put forth our hand and take also of the tree of life and eat and live for ever. Thankfully, he paraphrases and explains in his uberyodish what it means so one pretty much gets an idea, but if anyone would brave the Cherubims for us, his references are incredibly impeccably deep.

Listen to yourself seeing in March what you are denying in July! Or do tell deg, do you too plan to delete all the history in your threads? You this magaliar!

Back in March you were here yelling corona is a lie to close your church, we was libtards who had tds, "it was fakenews" "it was fakenews", and messiah magatrump would save your ass with his no-mask and his HCL, and now you want to be twisting the truth like you never said?

kkins25:
The whole concepts and lingo are really heavy. I was turning to and fro on my bed trying to process just a few sentences.

I finished the Forward, Translator's Preface, Author's Preface to the Seventh German Edition, and The Necessity, Structure and Priority of the Question of Being, which is section 1 of the Introduction and the first chapter in the book, and where I'm up to, Martin seems to be doing Descarte to "being", a word he has yet to fully allow one to comprehend while allowing one to think one has.

In the Intro Heidegger seems to be suggesting we see things through lenses we do not know we wear such that the questions we ask are coached in the language that has already implied an answer and directs us where we must search. This makes us ignorant, he seems to imply, and he says we must not be.

All I hear inside my head as I read is, "The eye is the lamp of the body, if you do not learn how to use your lamps properly, your whole being would be in full darkness!" I don't suppose I need explain that the blind cannot ever see the formless and empty darkness over the surface of the deep nor can their Spirit hover over the waters not to talk of have anything to do with Light.

The fact that buda misrepresents Heidegger within the confines of buda's own tiny mind and misunderstanding as done above thereby ignorantly doing exactly what Heidegger says buda stupidly does, i.e., coach what buda understands within buda's own preconceived beliefs of knowledge about words and the narrowness of buda's limited capability to understand, is what Heidegger seems to be willing to cure by saying, "buda, enter into your mother's belly and be reborn as a child without the preconceived ideas and polluting beliefs and see anew", and shows buda must read the Intro again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and ag... and that's just section one of the Introduction!

SonofLincoln:
Another one bite the dust. Sooner or later, some of these brainless cultists here will be taking a permanent nap unless they stop following the Smelly Fat Orange Pig they worship.

We all knew that trump rally would kill magas. We told them in fact, they said its a lie, we was libtards, it's fake news, that we tds. The modafuqas gave no care to the many non-trumps they were gonna infect with their magaignorance!

Now the coronavirus they said wasn't real
was made in China by Gates and the blue,
Hydroxychloroquine is the trump bleach cure
Yet they dying in multitudes.
And now they want sympathy!?

FOLYKAZE:
Lol.

How come Buda, the enlightened one, doesn't know there is difference between being conscious and consciousness. Can I assume simply that this topic is way above what you can handle?

It depends. All philosophers would tell you that's why terms must be defined.

Consciousness, is the word you used. One does not say a stone is conscious, nor does it have consciousness nor an ability to be conscious.
But you could you perhaps provide a definition that does not include it as a possession of a thing and not the thing itself and lets see.

I've looked at the epub version I signposted above. It came from here, but does not seem like a very good copy, so if anyone can help find an improvement.

The pdf is much better, I think.

Dtruthspeaker:
My thinking is, No Creation can can Sufficiently and Completely describe and Explain himself beyond what he has seen or known or experienced.

And neither can one creation explain all these things to another.

Just like no matter how much Prado and Camry and Corolla, they can not know more than what they have experienced, neither can they be good Authorities to describe and explain the Nature and Conduct of their Creator, Mr Toyoda!

So it is with man.

My respectful view and opinion!

I totally agree with you. Its why we benefit from considering all the isSufficient and inComplete descriptions so as to be better informed than those who obey commands to eat stones.

FOLYKAZE:
Consciousness is the same thing as Ori, Soul, oneself or buda. Copish?

No. Consciousness is not "the same thing as Ori, Soul, oneself or buda. Copish!"

Afterall, one does not say, "buda is a consciousness". One says, buda is a being that is conscious, as in, buda possesses a consciousness or an ori or and a soul.

Consciousness is the awareness of the notion that a being or thing (Ori, Soul, oneself or buda) exists. But none of those consciousnesses is Ori, Soul, oneself or buda.

Anyway, figured the following might interest you.

i tried again yesterday, but not the book, rather i read the essay you shared along with the book. even that still leaves me scrolling up and down.
its a really complex(if this word is even suitable to describe it) concept or should i say philosophy. i've been wondering if he came to conclusion. I must mention that some of the ideology is very similar to what i've read from Jane Roberts "Seth materials". That is, the ideology of conscious particles or more simply, atoms.
I wonder if Martin would mention the weird nature of atomic particles to take shape or should i say take a definable, somewhat- at least to the human mind- an organized structure like as if they have been programmed with some sought of code, so much so that they is a particular principle the atoms or particles follow which guides their activities. if i had being born in a more conducive environment i think Philosophy would have being my chosen profession. if i can even call it a profession.

I'm still struggling with the 9 page Forward by Taylor Carman (its not in epub version) wondering if I'm really understanding this despite, or perhaps, because of the profoundity of the simple bits! This review probably describes not us, who might be biting at far more than we can chew, but already see reward you! We might, as you've done, found similarities much easier to read!

I'm finishing the forward today! I insist!

SonofLincoln:
That Ola is a Charlatan and a Demagogue. The guy surely needs a psychiatric evaluation.

No! It is not he who surely needs a psychiatric evaluation.

It is I that needs a psychiatric evaluation for bothering to respond to OLAADEGBU and I intend to file this under Note to buda!

AbdulSleeky:
An evangelical Christian like you supporting Trump is the height of hypocrisy

A man that embezzles money from his own charity

A man that cheated on two wives!! An adulterer.

A man that makes racist comments.

A man that mismanaged the coronavirus epidemic in america.

Oh well, anti-abortion and anti-homosexuality are the bedrock of your christianity. Stealing, racism, misogyny and adultery are fine as long as you ban gays and abortion.

He makes one want to abandon all things to do with Christ and become an atheist or stone worshipper or anything but his god!

Eid-El-Kabir to all. Especially to those who moaned "too much holiday" but are secretly enjoying the day off.

sino:
In fact one would encounter in the Qur'an prayers for granting of wisdom, increase in knowledge and also eloquence so people may have understanding of what is being said. I hope we all get this blessings...

I would say your posts are quite radical, and for me, I have learnt a new perspective with regards to scepticism, faith, and how to acknowledge certainty in faith. You don't just believe, you know...This actually brings me to the levels of faith as described by the Prophet (SAW) and the highest being that "you worship God as if you can see God..." And this is a level Muslims continuously strive for...

I agree they need to be educated, and this happens to be the reason some of us engage him and others.

I find it very amusing when people say they believe or do not believe in God but then refuse to understand a book about God or think they do understand it when they don't. I am saddened though at those who write the books off completely. Most don't think what their existence would be like if those very enlightening books did not exist, and they judge the post-book era they live in with no knowledge of the pre-book era, so don't really understand what God actually is or means or is meant to do, and merely believe or don't believe in the Book they've read or not read, while for some, the Book itself is the God. There's all sorts, I guess.

I agree I'm radical, at least as far as Nigerians are concerned. I think its because unlike most, I began and have lived most of my life as a sceptic atheist so I see things without the brainwashing of religion. Sceptism to religious belief and practice as a result or consequence of my atheism made me search for understanding, which is why I can appreciate religious books. For me, if Mohammed had written a story book and made it as widely available as the Quran is, I'd still regard him highly. Thankfully, he wrote a book that helps those who understand grow in knowledge and wisdom, which is why it's called "The Word of God.

If only people could understand that the book is like the finger and not the moon it points to, perhaps they'd be sceptical of their own understanding and look further. As Christ put it, "unless one abandons all brainwashing and preconceived ideas and become as a child looking at things anew one shall not acquire an understanding of God." But he also said that's as difficult as threading a camel through a needle's eye, which is why we are forgiven.our ignorance, because, obviously, we know not as much as we think we know.

A couple of us have decided to try slogging through Heidegger's Being and Time, and I have the feeling you might enjoy it, and a Muslim's perspective would likely grow us all since I've learnt much from you already. I'll invite you once I start a thread. I think you would find it interesting.

The bit I emboldened is confirmed by [url=https://classic.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+25%3A31-46&version=KJV]the quote below[/url], and is evidence that God is most Merciful and Wise and wishes us to grow in knowledge and understanding and wisdom.

A couple of us decided to read

budaatum:
Martin Heidegger's Being and Time.

Download here if you want to read along.

But we are struggling because its very way over our heads. I haven't even got to the end of the forward despite starting three times!

kkins25:
i downloaded the book but couldn't go past two pages.. The whole concepts and lingo are really heavy. I was turning to and fro on my bed trying to process just a few sentences. But its table of contents has been sparking curiosity in me so i know im definitely not going to have peace of mind till i read the book. Lol.

So we decided we'd start a thread to see if any one would help us slog through it or has slogged through it already to help with understanding.

Heidegger, in his 1926 book, seems to be trying to establish what is meant by "being", which in my much very untutored understanding sounds like, "What does it mean when we say a thing exists"? He appears to be saying, "being" has been assumed without an understanding of existence and attempts to make one aware of the fact so we can transcend our ignorance. If and how he does that is what by reading one might find out.

I've posted this here in the religious section, not because it's religious, but because there is no Philosophy Section and Religion is the closest to it. This is however strictly not about "beliefs", but about understanding what one reads, so let us please beware of the narrowness of our minds.

wirinet:
He obviously has no idea of what a track record means. Which "track record"does Dr. Stella Immanuel have? Where can one get hold of this record?

And when he is educated he covers his eyes so he will not learn!

OLAADEGBU:
It doesn't matter where she uses to treat her patients, what matters is her track record. Below is an excerpt from an article that deals with the issue at hand:

I agree. What you fail to see, gullible OLAADEGBU that you are, is, preaching from a pulpit
is not "a track record" in the medical profession!

I'd ask you to learn from James but of course your ignorant self will yell "misquote" instead of seeing the forest of ignorance blinds your understanding though I'm beginning to think it's satanic.

Baawaa:
It is not normal,why should I pay to bury dead soul

Church has always made money from burying the dead body (and not the soul!).

In medieval times, people were made to believe their dead were in anguish in purgatory until cleansed of their sins and go to heaven, "So indulge us to pray for their anguish to be shortened", and of course, gullible people indulged them. And that was on top of renting space in a cemetery for your dead body and a tithe of your living.

You are one of the collectors

No I'm not. I've had to pay it though. Knocked 400k down to 250 for a service before we shipped him to be buried in the village and paid again.

Please! Anglican Church would require payment to bury you too, and I bet so would some other churches. The only difference is they charge according to your assumed wealth so the poor might pay less and be buried in less desirable graves in the cemetery, like near the back!

OLAADEGBU:
https://youtu.be/-hNM9 DdWmR0

You actually need to call Dr Stella Immanuel for deliverance as your case worse than I thought. You need Jesus to set you free from dem demons.

I should abandon all the information that is out there just because some pastor doctor stella is in a video saying so?

You need to learn what your demon is!

tintingz:
Ok, in a nutshell you believe the Qur'an isn't the word of Allah.

Case close.

That is what tintingz believes after all tintingz read.

I am saying, it is when you make it the Word of Allah.

Farki:
Muslims that insult, beat, imprison and kill atheists around the world what do you call that?

Why can't you radical Muslims let someone go in peace?

I'll call them organised. Better informed of the ways of the world and willing to impose their own will on the less organised.

Brutal, I know. But that should inform you of what to do to educate your will into others.
