I wrote a A Child's View in opposition to your logical view because I really don't see any reason to get the view you suggest from the book. Akin1212: |
On the Chase, I read He Won't Read It Now, his first book, over the weekend and plan to read his second, No Orchids this one. First in over 40 years but still see what I loved in them. |
LordReed:Che! Slaughtered every corner he sticks his head out of! |
TATIME:Tell me the names of the areas your neighbourhood has been in. |
Ubenedictus:There are very many out there who rule that the bang and evolution disputes Christian theology rightly understood. And i never said it disputed intelligent design. The Pope did indeed imply an intelligent designer. It is still a huge step forward all the same, theistically speaking, and the Pope spoke to all. Or at least, everybody heard it. |
God, having created the entire universe, decides to create man, but only after creating a garden. God teaches these people to take care of his farm for food and shelter but of the Godsfruit, they must not touch or he'll kill them! And your's truly they do. So God gets the funk, and sacks them, "escort them off the premises please and don't come back!" "Hey, hold on, you said they'd die!" I say. I go back to where it's said, point at it. "See", " they'd die". But of course it's words in a book. It's not as if a "ah, ok, I'll just kill them" was going to pop on to the page with the words rearranged though it was worth considering considering how folks about me treated the book. The copy I was reading was an immaculate white one ma got given when she'd married which I'd stolen from where she keeps emergency money and jewelry. It was wrapped in velvet, placed in a box, wrapped in a cloth, locked in a suitcase in a locked cupboard in her locked bedroom when I took it. A book thief was bad. Then a money thief had taken the money that had been there when I stole her Bible and she was yelling all over the place. Stole the Bible, stole the money, I is dead! To a lot of others at the time, it was treated equally valuable, the whole family could have the one, unlike now when everyone's got one or so many and all the others on their phone. I look up and see there's always gods, Even if there aren't gods there'll always be controllers - cause that's what a god who keeps the godfruits to itself is. And those controllers want to keep all the godfruit to themselves and pay everyone else just food and board because by keeping them subservient they can better exploit them. I look further and find it is not as I thought it was, the gods were not paying food and board, the bloody gods were in fact taking the sweat off people's brows. And then I find they use to even put chains round their necks sell people for slave work! It's then I understand what is meant when some say God wrote the Bible. Many who have had that understanding got it from the Bible, and if someone hadn't written what God did in the Garden of Eden, I wouldn't have eyes wide enough to get that understanding. I had read the New Testament prior to starting the old thanks to Gideons who made it widely available, so it helped some of it fall in place. Depends how you read it, is my point. Many get to hear meanings of the story before they've read it and by such, a way of seeing it is imposed. If you read it as a child would read it, as was advised, you might have seen it in a different way too. Controllers don't pay food and board anymore. Now you pay their food and board, Gucci shoes, Armani suits and jet fuel willingly too! Exploitation by exploiters has drastically changed for the worst. I get to the fourth chapter, and Cain murders Abel, and I'm thinking, when did all this happen, I'm on to a good one here, and that's when I began reading the Bible aged 8. For the next 5 years, it was my go back to book whenever I was out of James Hadley Chase or anything else till I'd finished it. I never would have read it if I hadn't read it then. Do you remember what you first thought when you first read the creation myth in Genesis? |
TATIME:How do you know this? |
Let me first say that this is going to be a work in public. The thread title might change, even this very post may be continously revised. The beauty is the version you quote will be uniquely stamped with your name on it, hint! Saturday, I bought the book in the first picture. I already got one, but found this in a charity shop for £3 and couldn't resist and started reading the introduction when I got it home. it excludes 1 and 2 Esdras (3 and 4) and the Prayer of Manasseh, which irked me, so I went looking and found the book in the third picture (subsequent post). It was recommended to Dylan by the Door to door salesman. Dylan read it in January 2009 and said this: "This book was terrible. The characters are two dimensional, the plot is all over the place and the author can't keep his story straight. Then halfway through they just introduce a new protagonist out of nowhere who dies within 4 chapters and they spend the rest of the book trying to work out what his deal was. Genesis and Numbers are a huge yawn fest, I'm not even sure what the lengthy genealogies and census information had to do with the fisherman because everybody dies in the end anyway. This book is huge. Oh my god, it's soo long. I thought Lord of the Rings was big. The only consolation is that it's so big and heavy my wife sometimes uses it to press flowers, which is fine by me because I wouldn't lend this book to anyone.

TATIME:How do you know this Tatime? How do you know that "there is NO mind that's absolutely free from control"? |
LordReed:Tatime, read about Charles Taze Russell. He owned a publishing firm that sold tracts, social media of his day. |
TATIME:Shining light Not hidden Open your eyes and see! |
Aaronsrod:You boko haram! |
Noticed it had gone quiet. Trump has managed to keep his foot out his mouth? |
TATIME:That was homework. And you submitted it late! The score comes at the end of the test. Remind me. This is question 1a, If the mind is not controlled, how does it function? |
TATIME:I rejoiced that I had the eyes to see it, the intellect to comprehend it and I became absolutely honest with myself. Tatime, tell me again, what do you do? |
TATIME:At last. Thank you. Just so I'm ensured I get you right. If I do not like my mind controlled, I am an atheist. Is that correct? |
TATIME:Lord, I wonder if there's any record of schizoidism amongsts JWs, it might explain Tatime with his "the atheists are coming to get me". As of 2018, [url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Jehovah%27s_Witnesses?wprov=sfla1]Jehovah's Witnesses[/url] reported a monthly average membership of approximately 8.36 million actively involved in preaching, with a peak of 8.58 million, 0.001 of the population of the earth! I wonder why Ta thinks he's so important atheist will leave the millions of other like them people and focus on just him. Might it be a very inflated sense of his self or just a dead conscience? The "PEACE LOVING" are blessed, they are never hunted unless one's God is a dead God! Tatime spirit and conscience, you are got already. Speak only truth! |
TATIME:How did you conclude that it is you that is recruiting people for Christ? It is you that is recruiting to atheism! Or have you discarded your own definition of atheist which I've asked you to post twice you never bothered, Tatime, tell the truth and let Satan die, has buda touched your body and not your Spirit? |
LordReed:Never heard of him, but now that you have educated me, I will study him and forever be immensely grateful to you my Lord. |
TATIME:Prophecies are not confirmed until they come to pass, and until that time, you're just scaremongering. It may work on silly kids, but we are all grown up here. |
TATIME:Here's a test for you. Please answer the 2 questions above. |
Dantedasz:Thank you. |
TATIME:In the mighty name of God the Father, by the Wisdom of Jesus the Son, and by the Holy Ghost which is the mind and the brains, Amen. |
TATIME:No time, I do not want to teach you anything. If you already are an adult and you know, why will I ask you to enter back into the womb and be reborn? A couple of things though which I can't resist. Praying, means working. To baptise, is to immerse in the fullest understanding. And Jesus counts everybody as something, even the lost sheep for which he leaves the unlost sheep to go and find. It is for this reason that buda will continue to baptise you Ta, until you are fully immersed and unlost. |
Shikini:Is our highly esteemed Afe Babalola San, correct in his summation? Section 292 (1)(a)(i) and 292 (1)(b) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (As Amended) 292. (1) A judicial officer shall not be removed from his office or appointment before his age of retirement except in the following circumstances - (a) in the case of - (i) Chief Justice of Nigeria, President of the Court of Appeal, Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Chief Judge of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Grand Kadi of the Sharia Court of Appeal of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja and President, Customary Court of Appeal of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, by the President acting on an address supported by two-thirds majority of the Senate. (ii) Chief Judge of a State, Grand Kadi of a Sharia Court of Appeal or President of a Customary Court of Appeal of a State, by the Governor acting on an address supported by two-thirds majority of the House of Assembly of the State, Praying that he be so removed for his inability to discharge the functions of his office or appointment (whether arising from infirmity of mind or of body) or for misconduct or contravention of the Code of Conduct; (b) in any case, other than those to which paragraph (a) of this subsection applies, by the President or, as the case may be, the Governor acting on the recommendation of the National Judicial Council that the judicial officer be so removed for his inability to discharge the functions of his office or appointment (whether arising from infirmity of mind or of body) or for misconduct or contravention of the Code of Conduct. (2) Any person who has held office as a judicial officer shall not on ceasing to be a judicial officer for any reason whatsoever thereafter appear or act as a legal practitioner before any court of law or tribunal in Nigeria. |
TATIME:If I told you what is happening to you here, Tatime! You better not let people see it! TATIME:I don't have "your folks", Tatime. My folks are my neighbours. Please go remind yourself who that is. TATIME:I can guarantee two things. One is, someone told you this crap and even showed you verses to validate what they told you. The second is anyone who believes the above is not following what Christ taught. For instance, he said, "don't go looking for the endtimes all over the place because no one knows when the time will end", so claiming the end is after a particular event is a fabricated lie told to scare people so that they can be controlled. Jesus never said JWs would be hunted! JWs are not that important so I don't see why anyone would hunt them, and saying so only makes sense to people who refuse to use their brain. Besides, if JWs had Christ, they would fear not for their father in heaven who also cares for the birds and the bees will not foresake them if they were hunted. TATIME:O! So I will not hunt you anymore all of a sudden, but will now be looking for you to study and know you instead? Tatime, I love you. It is for that reason that I will enlighten you. In every post in our detailed discussions, I have studied you, and from that study, I now know you just as you know me. I hope I need not say there is no more need to look for you since you are not lost. TATIME:You are lying to yourself to convince yourself that what you believe is true Tatime and it is not a healthy thing to do. Every believer knows that understanding comes from God and God does not only give it to JWs! Or does JWs actually stand for the Jews, who used to believe the same nonsense until God sent Jesus to replace their anointed asses with the Gentiles? Do know that henceforth you are, time, and sometimes, Ta. |
TATIME:I worship Appolos and you worship Paul. "Does it matter if he is not one of us?" TATIME:This is rubbish! Jesus did not give a damn whether you were baptised or not, he had absolutely no time for such nonsense. He said, "whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” And not "whoever is baptised by water that is thicker than blood"! Stop crucifying Jesus again, Tatime! TATIME:No, not true! Humans do not necessarily believe that "when someone that's kind at heart becomes their leader, things will work fine", or at the very least, Jesus did not teach that "when someone that's kind at heart becomes their leader, things will work fine". Jesus taught, "you are the salt of the earth, so go out there and lead"! And what America has done is level the field so everyone has a opportunity. TATIME:Excuse me, but did God not decide the work was too much for God, so, "Solomon, go and get Saul to assist me" ? TATIME:I strongly believe you are wrong. If true Christians do not participate in politics, they are not taking care of the poor, so they can't be "true Christians", since they would be allowing Satan to rule unchallenged! Politics is how the rulers are chosen, and the chosen, govern by taking our resources through taxation and utilise it on our behalf. If left to themselves, politicians will take those resources and buy houses in Dubai. But if those steeped in the knowledge of God are govern, they will be compelled to govern according to the diktat of God and could build Jerusalem for the people who's money they take. TATIME:I am not pulling your legs Tatime, please speak the truth. You and I know that it is your mind that is being pulled. As for my marks. I've decided you are not sufficiently qualified to mark my work. |
9inches:Probably. |
HellVictorinho:In fact, the probability that I'd of woken up today is probably 99.999%, I wake up everyday, so why would tomorrow be any different. It is certain that any night I go to sleep, I will wake up the next day. And the only day I will not wake up is the day before the day I will not go to sleep again. And I say that with 99.999% faith that it will be so. |
9inches:9! Did I say that, or can you just not live life honestly and without making up untruths? Anyway, last night, I believed we will all wake up this morning, and I now believe we all did. Unless you know of one of us who is still asleep. |
9inches:Good morning 9. It's this morning. I'm awake just like I believed I would. Certainly! |
