budaatum: And what "99.9% of people" say is a reason for me not to harp on, Deep?
I was not aware I was in some popularity contest, and I actually expect to be treated like the person who returned to Plato's Cave, as you are treating me here.
Whatever you or anyone claims to believe is believed because you do not actually know. And I do not expect most to accept this because most believers hardly ever do because camel eye needle enter is almost impossible for some.
I should assume like those who assume they know what they believe, deep? Create me in their image, why don't you please!
You are amusing me by thinking I am not aware that some of my words will fall along the path for birds to eat up, and some will fall on rocky places where there is not much soil and be scorched in the sun and wither because they have no root. And other seed will fall among thorns and grow up and be choked. Still some will fall on thinking minds where it produces a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.
As for gain. Jesus healed 10 lepers but only one appeared as his gain, we read in the book of fiction. But for me, you not listening, Deepsight, does not indicate that no one hears, and nor does anyone need to tell me I have made them consider the difference between belief and knowing, because some obviously have ears and hear, I have found in my time here, as opposed to what you seem to believe. Well said. |

budaatum: And I am telling you different. I'm also telling you it crops up in most arguments I see you involved in where people tell you their baseless beliefs, while you counter them with verifiable facts. I just think it leads nowhere because 99.9% of people will tell you that what they believe is the same as what they know. The nuanced difference is something you will harp on forever and never gain anything from. That's why I told you to just assume that people know. That said, why are you bothered about what I harp on about? Am I misusing your data by forcing your mind to consider?  |

budaatum: Experience does not come before belief!
One actually believes because one lacks experiential knowledge. Once one has experiential knowledge one does not believe because one actually knows.
For example, you could say you believe the water falling on your head from the sky is rain because you experience a wet head, but when you look up and see that it is raining, as opposed to someone or thing dumping water on your head, you would most likely say you know it is raining
You may believe you have a million naira in your bank account, but after you've checked your bank account, you will know whether you have a million naira in your bank account or not.
Adam was made to believe (with no experience whatsoever) that he would surely die if he ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Eve, on the other hand, did not believe she would surely die if she ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. So she checked with her own senses (experienced) so she may know if she would indeed surely die or not by plucking the fruit and eating it for the experience, and saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves and freed themselves from naked ignorant slavery in Eden and lived a very long time during which they ended up populating the entire earth, we read. You have started again on this knowledge Vs belief thing. I have told you it's not a thing to keep harping on. |

TV01: Nice line of thinking...although ultimately incorrect. The fall of man wasn't a slip-up by God, neither was it by His design. But, He knew it would happen, and it is dealt with as part of His unfolding plan Ephesians 3:10 to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places,
TV This is laughably escapist. The same God that blocked access to the Tree of Life from fear that man would eat of it and become "as one of us?" The same God that expressed regret and repentance over his decisions several times? An omniscient God cannot do that. That is logically impossible. |
Christianity Etc › Re: Old Age & God by DeepSight(op): 1:01pm On Apr 28 |
TV01: Are train makers responsible for the free will decisions of people who throw themselves under trains?
TV I knew it will end with so called free will. But let us examine this. 1. Your God is said to be all powerful. 2. Your God, being an all powerful creator has created a world and life with set choices. In other words, the spectrum of possible choices is determined by your God. To break that down for you, you cannot, for example, choose to be a rabbit today, or choose to stop breathing and still live. The choices you have are limited to a framework and a world- scenario determined by your God. 3. Given (2) above your God could always have created a world scenario with a framework and set choices which preclude the death, disease, natural disasters and evil inherent in his creation. 4. But going even beyond all this, your God preaches predestination and says that he in fact determines everything that happens. Do you need me to produce the verses? Here: Ephesians 1:11: "In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will." Romans 8:29-30: "For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son... And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified." Isaiah 46:10: "I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, 'My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.'" Proverbs 16:9: "In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps." Proverbs 20:24: "A person’s steps are directed by the Lord. How then can anyone understand their own way?" Psalm 37:23: "The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him." Proverbs 19:21: "Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails." There you go. Predestination is clear. So your argument is thoroughly defeated. But knowing you, you will pretend not to see these crystal clear verses just as you pretend not to see those on slavery and witches. |

LordReed: If train makers could stop people from being hurt by trains and did nothing then yeah train makers would be bad. Is your god a frail human or the all powerful? Why are you using human frailties to excuse your god? It's because your god is a human invention and cannot but have those limitations as well. LoLz. GBAM.

TV Are you saying that Darwin came up with the ToE because he was an atheist or humanist? I hope you know of Alfred Russel Wallace who simultaneously came up with the same theory. He was a spiritualist and argued that natural selection alone could not account for higher human faculties like artistic talent, mathematical ability, or moral sense.

TV01: The entry of sin corrupted the creation - specifically the domain of man.
TV Animals are not robots that have no sense of pain. It is wrong to make them suffer for what they have no part in. Besides you know very well that this is an excuse. 1. Are you sure you can sustain the idea that death was only the consequence of sin? Because to do so, remember you will have to say that man was intended to live in the physical world forever. Do you wish to say that? 2. The spectrum of diseases in the world is such that no one can attribute to sin. Did mosquitoes for example only begin to exist because of sin? Add to them the entire line of viruses, bacteria etc which are themselves also critical and cardinal to the existence of life! |
Christianity Etc › Re: Old Age & God by DeepSight(op): 10:51am On Apr 28 |

Start with the outcomes of his actions vis-a-vis Russia's interests. 1. Ukraine - Vastly reducing support to Ukraine, thus giving Russia the upper hand 2. NATO - His rhetoric about NATO reads like it was drafted by the Russian Foreign Ministry - they could not wish for better. NATO is the most important bulwark of the west against Russia and he threatens to destroy it. 3. Iran - He has lifted sanctions blocking sales of Russian Oil thus making billions for Russia. He has even extended that lift. Start with these and focus on outcomes so as not to be dribbled. Then you will see clearly whats happening. A deeper dive will require exhaustive discussion on what the Russia investigations revealed. And they revealed a lot that was not even denied, but going there will take too much time and energy when you are not worth such investment. |

TV01: Atheistic\humanist\materialist thinking reintroduced old notions of natural hierarchy (read racial categorisation), which drove the thinking and justification for the slave trade. The wellspring of Darwinism and the whole TOE nonsense.
This happened as Christian principles of universal human dignity were weakened. This helped drive the re-introduction of slavery, particularly the TAST between the 15th\19th centuries. Christianity had repeatedly made inroads into abolishing slavery from the 11th century, until it finally succeeded.
TV You should be ashamed of yourself. Darwin proposed the Theory of Evolution in 1858, centuries after Christians had been practicing slavery, relying on scripture. And you dare accuse others of being dishonest. This is not just dishonesty, it remains illiteracy. |
