MaxInDHouse: I'm not your brother but neighbour. Please stop calling me "MAD" simply because we aren't agreeing on matters, you can see that i don't agree with religionists too except Jehovah's Witnesses so if they call me "MAD" it's understandable because religionists in the first century also called Jesus "MAD" {John 10:20} but you that's not into any religion doing the same makes no sense at all!  Alright, neighbor. Thou art known as Max, henceforth. May the forces be with thou |

LordReed: I ask the question because you say dead matter needs some kind of indwelling before it lives, if that was the case then life wouldn't require the chemical functions, the so called soul should be able to power a body without them shouldn't it?
Also another corollary would be so do you think multicellular microscopic organisms have a soul or do you consider them as non living things?
I don't understand what you mean by "None of us experiences ourselves as a body". I've never heard anybody describe their experiences as something exclusively happening to their body but not to them unless the person was feeling some sort of detachment. Are you saying feeling a sense of detachment is what everybody feels normally?
BTW I think we have discussed this before, there is no "physical seat of consciousness" its an irrelevant question once you understand that consciousness is an emergent property that is based largely about the brain but is an amalgation of all the body's biological functions. @ the bolded. Some schizophrenic and manic patients have described themselves as such. There's a reason they are mentally unbalanced  |

MightySparrow: I like your explanation. Truth can be gleaned from the things that happen as well as things that don't. I was in a class one day, a Bible teaching class,. Our resource person retorted that we should not believe in the nonsense of the soul travel professed by some cults.
Incidentally, a many was there from another ministry, a new convert who was just coming out of Eckamker or Grail Message ( I can't remember which one).
This man angrily answered our teacher that she should not talk about what she knows nothing about. That it was what he had practiced for about fifteen years.
When someone leaves his body consciously, which part of him goes out?
What is a soul? So you took the word of an ex-ECK over your teacher? |

DeepSight: It is disappointing for you to have to reach as far as such a fringe modern sect in order to fully ground your ad hominems against the ancient and timeless concept of a soul.
The soul is the intangible inner aspect of man, and this is also not a foolish concept because men of all ages have recognized that mere matter cannot, of itself, be a conscious and living being. Mere matter is dead. The body is a self evident and obvious tool for an indwelling being. Every function of the body attests to this, including all the senses as well as the very facts of birth and death. So who created the souls(if it existed)? |

You're so fond of calling me "MAD" just because i don't think like you. Doesn't that make you a terrorist? Because that's the only reason people can't live and let live, it's not compulsory you and i think the same way if truly you're an atheist that's what your brains should support which is freedom to choose whatever you like. But calling your fellowman "MAD" for disagreeing with you doesn't define an atheist Sir!  Nah, I don't call you mad for being a theist. 99% of folks here are theists, do you see me calling them mad?

Janosky: Oga, what do you call those natural phenomena that science can't explain nor understand? There are many phenomena like that, but scientists eventually figure it out. Just like lightning, flooding, earthquakes etc. Ancient folks thought they were punishments by gods. Even though some peeps still believe them as punishments til today, we know how they originate, and can predict to an extent when they occur. I'm sure if Janosky was living back in those ancient days, he'll say those phenomena were supernatural cos science couldn’t figure it out  |

The fact that someone makes litigation against jaephoenix is evidence he is guilty?
Romans 12:18 "If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men"
JWs strive "to be at peace with all men" ,thats the principles from the holy scriptures we follow. It is not a perfect world.

gohf: you finally do quote scripture and still show yourself a liar... "As if he was God himself" the same bible said children obey your parents, slaves your masters and citizens your leaders. Yet to you this is God prompting slavery, what should God say to make a rebellious soul like your pleased, kill your masters, be unfaithful to those you serve. The same scripture that it is written if you are asked to go a mile, go an extra. That we should work more.
In a world where slaves hated their masters, they should learn from Joseph who found himself in slavery and was faithful and good not sleeping with his boss's wife, so they shouldn't take what doesn't belong to them. Do you even know what it means to be honorable, may not when common civil servants can't serve faithfully without bribes. It was because of God Joseph didn't sleep with his boss wife
look damned is the man who twists Gods word, changes it, removes from it for whatsoever reason especially for a selfish reason. You out of the foolishness of your heart said God describes how to become a slave for life even when the scripture you quoted doesn't say so, not to mention other verses that you left out that teaches the truth. But out of your wickedness have you not distorted the truth. Is this what your ancestoral great ape taught you as morals, to lie against what you feel is dumb and can't defend itself. Or to misquote what you have read is very moral.
Why didn't you write about the redemption and the solutions provided to the very actions and decisions these men make to sell themselves to slavery.
Even the slaves were to be treated properly but is there kindness in your heart to see it, when you seem so filled with hate with a being you claim not to exist.
Even Jesus said some of those hundred laws and rules were given by Moses because of the wickedness in the hearts of men.
And when you release them, do not send them away empty-handed. You shall furnish him liberally out of your flock, out of your threshing floor, and out of your winepress. As the Lord your God has blessed you, you shall give to him. Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and the Lord your God redeemed you. That is why I give you this command today. But if your servant says to you, “I do not want to leave you,” because he loves you and your family and is well off with you, then take an awl and push it through his earlobe into the door, and he will become your servant for life. Do the same for your female servant.
Deuteronomy 15.
You will not understand if God doesn't help you nor save you. You will not agree if God never visits you.
😂 May God help you Lol. This is like when someone(yahweh) sees his best friend(slave master) maltreat, beat up and rape his girlfriend(slaves) and he tells his best friend's girl friend, "Please be obedient to him, if he says suck his dicck, suck it with love and care, if he says jump out of the window, do it head first". Instead of castigating his best friend for his sins, challenging him, or even reporting to the police. Nowhere in the Bible was it stated that slavery is bad. Even in the 10 Commandments, murder, lying, adultery was castigated but not slavery. So shut up your dirty lying mouth |

Jashub: Christianity was far different from Islam in terms of idealogies.
Secondly, Jesus did not teach his followers to pick up swords and fight battles on behalf of God, but Muhammed did that and that was how his religion spread.
So don't blame Jesus for the behavior of bad Christians who wanted to control the world. 1. Same way muslims argue that the terrorists we see aint true Muslims. Look, anyone can commit any sin, even murder, and s/he is covered by any of the holy books, be it Bible, Qoran, Veda etc. 2. No bro. Christianity is the same as Islam. Pinpoint the differences, lets see. Its all religions. Everyone insists his or hers is different, while its same ol, same ol. In the Bible, Yahweh instructed Israelites to butcher up whole cities, didn't he? Bro look, if not for the Great Crusades instituted by the Romans and Constantine, you'll be headbanging and shouting allahu akhbar, because those wars spread christianity to the Gaels, Anglo-Celtic countries which are the present day Britain, and the British brought it to your ancestors.
