backbone503:Giving us a second chance, and we don't even know about it? we don't even retain our self consciousness, so in other words, it's more like giving a different person a second chance, not thesame person. |

backbone503:This is not about sentiments, we are talking about justice here, and the aim or purpose of justice. Reincarnation as a form of justice or correction seems useless. |
Religion / Re: Death Demystified by Daejoyoung: 10:28am On Jul 08, 2020 |
backbone503:Except that the human soul and it's self identity is not phone A or B, so I fail to see how this analogy works. You owed a debt using phone A, but by the time you inserted your sim in Phone B, you already had a brain damage from an accident, hence you were suffering from memory loss. Therefore you couldn't remember what you did with phone A. Even if Airtel demands the payment of their debt, it would be strange to you because you can't recall anything. You have been reborn, you are a new person already. You may pay the debt, but it is useless to you as a form of recompense concerning your previous wrong, because you are not convinced you did such a thing. When we pray for justice and vengeance, we want the criminal to be aware that he is paying for his crimes, else it is useless to the criminal. |

backbone503:What I'm saying is this, it becomes useless in terms of justice. The individuality and person of the former armedrobber is now different. When he suffers in this life, he can't recall or take note that he suffers specifically because he was formerly an armed robber, if he can't recall that, then how is this justice? Compare your reincarnation scenario to a situation whereby an armed robber in this life, later on at his old age begins to suffer or pay the penalty for his sins, or a situation where in another life he begins to suffer, and could recall that he was once an armed robber. My point is without the ability to recall what we have done, then reincarnation as a form of justice is useless to me. |

Kobojunkie:So are you saying the person who spoke unknowingly against the Holyspirit out of ignorance, in his/her days of darkness, should give up and not turn to God for a new start? |
Religion / Re: Please Help, Do We Have Unforgivable Sins? by Daejoyoung: 7:21pm On Jul 07, 2020 |
Kobojunkie:So what's your point? I never said we shouldn't obey jesus or did I? What would be your advice to someone who is scared that he blasphemed the Holyspirit in the past? should he ask for forgiveness or not? Yes jesus words apply today to us, but they firstly applied to the situation he spoke to at the time, and we must understand it from that context else we misuse the word of God. |
Religion / Re: Please Help, Do We Have Unforgivable Sins? by Daejoyoung: 4:14pm On Jul 07, 2020 |
bloomstar:Well as a christian, I shouldn't worry about such things. If I had mistakenly or without knowledge of what I was doing, blasphemed the spirit, then I wouldn't compare myself to the pharisees of old. Besides, I believe jesus was only giving a warning to those pharisees. So if you think you have sinned before( no matter the sin) and you seek forgiveness, just run to God and sin no more. |
Religion / Re: Death Demystified by Daejoyoung: 5:13am On Jul 07, 2020 |
But then how does the reincarnated soul know that he/she is suffering for past sins? seeing that the soul usually remembers nothing of his/her past life? If the soul remembers nothing but suffers, then how is that justice? |

sonmvayina:lol, so according to you the violent Romans who wrote the new testament, couldn't portray their violence in the new testament? Come on man, put your bias aside, there is no historical or logical evidence to back up your claim that the Romans or specifically Roman politicians wrote the new testament. |
Religion / Re: "I Have Left Islam Because It Is A Religion Of Arabs & Illiterates" Afghan Man by Daejoyoung: 7:43pm On Jul 06, 2020 |
sonmvayina:They did, but it was not a teaching of the religion, so there's no point ascribing it to christianity. |

sonmvayina:Where in the new testament, did jesus command his followers to do all that? |

IamMichael:You are making thesame mistake over and over again, you seem to think you know better than all religous people. He already said here that he was once an atheist, and then became religious. Ain't you willing to entertain the thought that perhaps he is the one who has surpassed your level, understands your thought process already, and knows better than you? |
Religion / Re: Please Help, Do We Have Unforgivable Sins? by Daejoyoung: 8:15pm On Jul 02, 2020 |
elated177:You are just quoting scriptures, I don't understand what you want me to decipher from those scriptures. My point is this: The fear of the op is unfounded, if we have sinned and sincerely want a second chance, God is loving enough to accept us and faithful to turn things around for us, making us new creatures. Those who commit sin against Holyspirit are those who are not ready to accept the kingdom of God no matter what( pharisees then) and who deny the power of God even when they know the truth. So I joined this arguement in order to help the op quit this unnecessary fear. |
Religion / Re: Please Help, Do We Have Unforgivable Sins? by Daejoyoung: 11:27am On Jul 02, 2020 |
One thing we should take note of, is that even jesus himself didn't know when the kingdom of God would come on earth. He expected it to be soon, following the judgement of the wicked religious leaders in Jerusalem. Only God knew what he had in store, and jesus believed in a very physical kingdom with 12 thrones for his 12 disciples as they judge the tribes of Israel and rule rightfully as against the way the Romans ruled then. Jesus is saying when that age comes in the PHYSICAL kingdom of God on earth, even those who spake against him may be forgiven, but speaking against the Holyspirit hath no forgiveness even in that age. They would still be cast out of Jerusalem ( the kingdom) into outer darkness ( more like exile) or even destroyed in the grave called ghenna where the fire does not quench and the worm never dies. This is simply death not everlasting fire torturing a ghost. |
Religion / Re: Please Help, Do We Have Unforgivable Sins? by Daejoyoung: 11:10am On Jul 02, 2020 |
elated177:What is the age to come? how does it mean heaven and hell? it means in the age of the revelation of the kingdom of God or in future generations, the person would not be forgiven. It didn't say it would remain that way forever. Don't you know there is a first death and a second death? Don't you know that biblically there would be a 1000 year reign of christ? You shouldn't always read heaven and hell into every future judgement prescribed by God, if you look closely, most of God's judgement and rewards have nothing to do with a future heaven and hell. |
Religion / Re: All Christians And Muslims Are Atheists. by Daejoyoung: 7:40am On Jul 02, 2020 |
LordReed:Exactly, I know this particular arguement, it's an old one. It's just that the op took it so seriously, lol. |
Religion / Re: Believe In God Vs Knowledge Of God by Daejoyoung: 10:26pm On Jul 01, 2020 |
Knowledge of God is more important, even the demons believe and tremble. Life eternal is that they may KNOW you the only true God and jesus christ whom you have sent. John 17v3. 1 Like 1 Share |

elated177:The unforgivable sin simply means that God would hold you accountable to it. You would be called to account. The pharisees also saw the light but preferred darkness to light, hence they were going to be cut out. When you work against the truth and wilfully obscure it with lies, you would surely be held accountable to that, it didn't say you are separated from God forever or going to a so called Hellfire. |
Religion / Re: Please Help, Do We Have Unforgivable Sins? by Daejoyoung: 10:15pm On Jul 01, 2020 |
bloomstar:My man, all these fears are unnecessary, God did not send his son to count our sins against us but to reconcile us to himself. The so called unforgivable sin in Mark, was when the pharisees accused jesus of using Belzeebub. It says you would not be forgiven for such a blasphemy, which simply means you would be held accountable for it. No where does it say you are doomed forever in Hellfire, I wonder why Christians allow so much fear. |
Religion / Re: All Christians And Muslims Are Atheists. by Daejoyoung: 9:30pm On Jul 01, 2020 |
IamMichael:lol, in a nutshell you are saying religious people are not as logical as you are, that's simply ridiculous. Religious people have invented more things in this world than atheists have ever done(and atheists have always been around from the time of Epicurus at least), so don't connect atheism and intellect by default. Even the big bang theory was first propagated by a catholic priest in the 20th century ( a century full of atheists). Not all Religous people accept anything at face value. The philosophy is not unfounded, and we are still thinking deeply about these questions today. Don't you think there is a probability that atheists generally are the ones not thinking deeply enough. When you think deeply, you leave religion. That however is only the first step, when you think deeply enough, you know better than to pride in either atheism or religion . |
Religion / Re: All Christians And Muslims Are Atheists. by Daejoyoung: 6:27pm On Jul 01, 2020 |
IamMichael: 1) Because it is more likely than unguarded evolution of everything. 2) Because it likely created everything or at least directed evolution. 3) Maybe, Maybe not. It was propagated by the Christian philosopher Thomas Aquinas as well as Muslim philosophers, all in answer to philosophical questions. |
Religion / Re: All Christians And Muslims Are Atheists. by Daejoyoung: 6:19pm On Jul 01, 2020 |
IamMichael:Lol, my next sentence wasn't showing the affirmative to that question. The "if so" in that sentence was conditional. That post was not saying deists are atheists, but on the contrary, trying to show the weakness of affirming so, to make you realize the futility of using the term "atheist" generically. |
Religion / Re: All Christians And Muslims Are Atheists. by Daejoyoung: 6:11pm On Jul 01, 2020 |
IamMichael:If you define atheism like this, then it is a useless term and loses its meaning because apart from universalists, everyone disbelieves in one God or the other, simply saying we are all atheists to some thing, makes no difference. The term atheism is now specifically used to distinguish people who do not entertain the question of God ( any God ) as necessary. |
Religion / Re: All Christians And Muslims Are Atheists. by Daejoyoung: 6:07pm On Jul 01, 2020 |
IamMichael:The bolded is not true. Again are deists religious? no they are not. If a creator exist, then it answers a major philosophical question concerning the concept of God. You can say we should not worship the creator or call the creator God, but you would be in line with many theists who believe in a creator, as the answer to why we are here. |
Religion / Re: All Christians And Muslims Are Atheists. by Daejoyoung: 5:39pm On Jul 01, 2020 |
IamMichael:I know that deists are not atheists, my point is that they don't believe in any religious god like you but that doesn't mean they should be called atheists just simply because they don't subscribe to any religious God ( like atheists). The reason deists are not atheists is that they answer YES to the concept of God ( not necessarily the religious idea of God) while atheists answer NO to both the religious idea and the philosophical concepts. So I see no reason why you'll have to define Deism for me. My post didn't warrant that, this is why I said you are funny. |
Religion / Re: All Christians And Muslims Are Atheists. by Daejoyoung: 5:29pm On Jul 01, 2020 |
IamMichael:Not believing in religious gods is not what makes atheists stand out, what makes them distinct is that they don't believe in the concept of God. The concept of God, and religious god, are two separate issues that depend on one another, but are not necessarily thesame. You are conflating the two. |
