@Johnnydon22

I stand to be corrected, my reference is to the Egyptian universal, omnipotent God referred to as "King of Gods", Amen Ra. In its short form Amen being the substantive and "Ra" being the appellative.

I do agree with you that there is considerable early canaanite influence on the Hebrews, we see that "Yahweh" was a lesser god of the canaanite pantheon of whose supreme being was "EL". The divine council in its original form in Deuteronomy clarifies this.

Likewise, there is considerable Egyptian influence on early Hebrew literature, the Book of Psalms, Proverbs and Deuteronomy attest to this, you will find passages word for word taken from the Instructions of Amenemope (an Eggyptian codex) in these books, indeed the book of Amenemope has been used to clarify verses in the book of proverbs.

The term Amen is Egyptian in origin, its present day usage may connote something else indeed it first appears in Hebrew writings in the book of Numbers when a woman is accused of adultery and is asked to utter the words to exonerate herself. However, in its original form it was used as homage to the Egyptian king of Gods.

Go and tend to your er.ection, priapus. Don't concern yourself with what others do with theirs.

You should also stop using their technology, language and clothing because these things are instruments of destruction too. If not you are also a traitor and hypocrite.

krattoss:
yes. And if it does. That means my previous words shouldnt be banked on.


And u knw what? Such parents doesnt exist.

Scholar8200:
Exactly! Just like the extant gnostic teachings, this (horus/osiris/isis/semiramis) also existed but the semblances to Christ were later incorporations (the pre-christian gnostics did it afterall). The questions engendered by their action ( see this thread: Horus is not Jesus Christ And can Never Be)still solicits for answers.

But you said they incorporated some Christian teachings to Ancient eastern beliefs which I guess was attributable to those that Merriam-webster pointed out were of the pre-christian era.

Parallel lines with no interception in substance no matter how many inscriptions of the form they incorporate!

krattoss:
Now let me give an instance whether is this what the op means?


Now i born 20 children. I tell all of them that i love them, and that they should obey my orders. Now i come back to tell them that if any of them didnt obey my words, i will disown him and make sure he suffers until he repents. If he doesnt, then i will put him in a hole where he will rot.


Now.... The first truth i told was that i love all of them...... On the process u came to ask urself, if i said i loved all, why suffer someone i love maybe for dissobedience. Then is my barbaric action not worst than the disobedience?

Then u now descovered that i lied that i lied. Then u might just begin to contemplate that since i lied that i deceived u with my fake likeness.

THen it is highly possibly that all i have been telling u since are just gibberish and shouldnt be banked on.

Help me to understand by answering this question "can darkness nullifies light? ... Or can you find darkness in light?? ?....
to me TRUTH is 100%, no single iota of lie can be found in truth ...

Scholar8200:
Since this is so, then it further reinforces the fact that the Gnostic 'gospels' was syncretic and deceptive! {I perceive this action of 'stealing from Christianity' is what gave rise to horus and other personalities who, being Jacob (in the sense of being usurpers) , try to cover themselves with the wool of the Lamb (Jesus Christ)! Meaning they already existed before but later incorporated features of the Truth in order to retain adherents! In fact, Paul's epistle to the Colossians was a rebuttal to the lies of gnosticism being offered, by its exponents, to the believers in Colosse. }

AdeniyiA:
Only atheists find lies in truth.
for the rest of us, wherever there's truth(light), lies(darkness) disappear .

Am not sure you even understood the question at all

I use to reason like this, but sometimes my humanity floods in and I can't help being immersed.

You know it's normal for humans to want a better/sugar-coated description to something terrible in order to escape it's full blow.

Just hoping one day I'll be evolved enough to accept reality as it is without blinking.

Dapo777:
There is also no reason to assume there is nothing outside our perception

Dapo777:
I do not know. That's why I asked.

herald9:
When you realize that no matter how you enjoy, there's something waiting for you.

And as an unbeliever, you don't have the benefit of hoping for something like them religious folks. That's saddening you know.

Scholar8200:
If I consider the definition of Gnosticism from http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gnosticism as:


: the thought and practice especially of[b] various cults of late pre-Christian[/b] and early Christian centuries distinguished by the conviction that matter is evil and that emancipation comes through gnosis;

then I wont be wrong to say that the gnostic movement existed before the Church and ,like other false groups have done and are doing, tried to squeeze in the true Gospel, into their teachings! This therefore means we can dispense with their writings (aka 'gospels') as a deceptive, syncretic piece of literary work. Unlike the synoptics and John, the gnostics appear to make claims of which there is no OT declaration or prophesy.

Dapo777:
Is my perception of what is, the same as what actually is?

Rilwayne001:
Everything lmao.

Rilwayne001:
Lol.

Whats funny

McSterling:
In fact, one of the non-synoptic gospels made it to the Bible: the gospel of John. It isn't synoptic. It makes no claims of a virgin birth and contains ideas and many accounts not found in the previous three. Again, it was written later than the other three. It's only John that contains the idea that Jesus is the word or "logus" in Greek. And it is John who tries to make Jesus God or equal with God.

Dapo777:
How is the perception of existence objective? Give me a logical explanation for that.

Dapo777:
I mean purpose or value, when I say "meaning" I am not talking about semantics here

Dapo777:
That means existence is also a perception that cant be verified objectively?

Dapo777:
Put Ur emotions aside for a minute and let's reason.
This isn't about me trying to "encompass others in my meaning or purpose." Its about me finding objective meaning or purpose of life.

Dapo777:
So nothing exists outside the perception of your brain?

Dapo777:
Can you say for sure where the stimuli is coming from, outside the perception of your brain?

Dapo777:
I don't have any preinformed point to prove here, you are the one saying life is anything i make it to be

And i tell you if thats the case, then life isnt real.

If the intrinsic value of life can't be discovered, can you say life is real?

You started asking me to define the purpose of micro organisms, trees and insect, seriously

What are you driving at, or what is Ur logic behind this?
