You can't get GCam that way, Sir. The Gcam devices other than Google Pixels use is the ported versions by modders.

For a start you can try this Gcam

From Genesis To Revelation there is no word like Bible and Christianity.

Please I want to know the name of the original Religion been practice by the followers of Jesus (Isah Alaihis Salam).

The words Bible and Christianity were invented much later. Prophet Isah (Jesus AS) never called His Religion Christianity or His Book Bible.

Reno's position isn't any different from the position of Islamic Faith. We're therefore calling on him and his cohorts to convert to Islam because that's the only to heaven.

Islam is the only true religion on Earth Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.

Christianity EtcRe: New Law In Ohio by kumulus(m): 11:48pm On Dec 07, 2019
[quote author=LordReed post=84695347]Don't confuse yourself, my stance has not changed. My first reply to you concerning spirits (My bad, I was referring to this; Against the lack of evidence for a god {spiritual god}) was this:

There is no evidence of any sort of spirit. Mental illness is as far as we know are physical defects in the brain or brain functioning. We never see mental illness in brains functioning within normal parameters.
There is no evidence of spirits, intangibles are not spirits. Mental illness is not caused by spirits so there is no consensus here.
Like I stated earlier words over time had been terribly abused and misuse became inevitable, hence, they can be misleading/misinterpreted, one of such is spirit. You demanded I provide a method to prove their existence which I already told you I don't have one beyond the regions of the mind (yet, if there ever will be any). Even science will agree with me that to physically perceive an entity, light need reflect off such entity which in this case is impossible (I believe you possessed this understanding all along). While science deals with natural phenomena, philosophy is concerned with understanding the nature of man, existence (entities/forms which man exist) and the relationships between these two, hence its the only premise on which the entity (spirit) can be examined and understood. Its philosophy since it borders around studies(experimentation) carried out in the mind from which hypothesis are drawn and further observations(experiments) are made to test/ascertain this hypothesis. No one can deny that philosophy is what birth science, so saying only scientific explanations are infallible is not very apt in this case.


My question was name a mental illness that has no physical component, narcissism has physical component as seen here. You don't get to dodge it. Either you name a mental illness that has no physical component or you concede the point.
BTW hatred is not a mental illness. Try again.
There's no dodging anything here, my point from the beginning had been on the cause of these defects(physical components) experienced in the regions of brain as observed by clinical science. If you would revisit the early posts, you would see I sited an instance of an enraged man and you attributed it to mental illness (I believe that is where you got the message wrong, hence, you keep going on about mental illness and its physical components/processes).

Do understand this isn't a conquest for me.


A person is an autonomous individual.
Just in case you missed my point, I was talking about the meaning according to the origin of the word.

Christianity EtcRe: Wrong Atheist Beliefs. Part 1 by kumulus(m): 2:48am On Dec 07, 2019
gensteejay:
This is my own take on this issue:

1. For starters, I'm neither a religionist nor an atheist but don't deny there is Universal Intelligence/God.
Universal Intelligence/God/Universal Mind

2. I feel God Almighty has nothing to do with religions. Religions are man-made, and the gods of religions were great ancient beings deified by people of their time, with those beliefs passed down from generations to generations.
This is what most have failed to realize/accept, any discourse on God should follow the path of spirituality and not religion.

3. I see God Almighty as the totality of existence. Anybody that's science-savvy knows that it's the way of the science to find summation of things, commonly represented with Greek letter sigma (upper case). Hence, the terms, "totality of consciousness", "totality of existence", shouldn't seem absurd.
God is the All, present in all

4. No one can deny existence, and it's possible for an entity to exist, not bounded by time and space. Hence, the saying God has no beginning and end.
There's only one such entity that meets this specifications.

5. Humans, animals, plants, all conscious entities (micro or macro) are all parts of God. In essence, each soul is a god.
Psalm 82:6 King James Version (KJV)
6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

John 10:34 King James Version (KJV)
Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods” ’?

6. God Almighty isn't a sky daddy seeking worship or prayers. Love of worship and prayers is an attribute of man.
Absolutely not lol, but obedience is worship and effort is prayer imo ( I believe strongly this is the Bible's stance )

7. We're the ones that create this reality; we're the co-creators of our own reality (a minute part of God in action).
The biblical workmanship.......care should be taken that 'We' is not mistaken for 'Us' ( Ref. Gen. 3 for understanding on 'Us' in this context)

8. Almighty God, the totality of existence, hasn't created hell fire for anyone. The universe comprises cycles of births, deaths, and rebirths.
Men who fail to grasp the scepter of the Truth which yields salvation tarries in tarry in hell for Heaven is the Divine Destiny (It's the state soul seeks. **The Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak** hence man living in flesh suffers {hell} ).

9. Ultimately, every conscious entity will reunite with God Almighty after many lives and return to their initial state, not bound by time and space. That state is what is called by many names in religions — Heaven, Janat, Nirvana, Valhalla, etc. The heaven version in religions has been corrupted as a place only meant for devotees of a particular religion.
Sad reality, the consensus dreaming.

10. Ours is a mysterious world; what's discovered pales in comparison with things not discovered yet; for instance, many scientists say much of the reality in the universe we see and know is only a small part of the real components of the universe. The majority (around 86%) is composed of dark matter and dark energy, little of which is known by today's science.
It amazes me why we could for a moment think we know it all when even the vast percentage of the physical world around us is yet to be explored and known, any smart person will agree it is unwise to say there is no God for lack of physical evidence.

11. I have come up with my own opinion using inductive reasoning and intuition and of course reading various books in philosophy, science, and esoteric literature.
You have followed the path of realization no doubt, I believe your witness!

LordReed:
Intangibles are results of physical processes. No physical process, no intangible. You can demonstrate the incorrectness of this by showing us an intangible that is divorced from any physical process.
Your stance from the onset was on the nonexistence of spirits (Intangibles).......it would seem we arrived at a consensus on that subject.

https://www.livescience.com/37684-narcissistic-personality-disorder-brain-structure.html

People who suffer from narcissistic personality disorder, which is characterized by extreme arrogance and self-absorption, have structural abnormalities in a region of the brain that has been linked to empathy, a new study finds.
That they have a structural abnormality does not indicate the source/cause of the abnormal. You will agree with me there are cases of narcissistic individuals who earlier on had normal brain structures, didn't suffer any physical mishap to the brain that could lead to such condition yet the subsequently are diagnosed for same. Consider a lady that was raped and thence became hateful towards men who she loved before the incident or a lady who became hateful and dreadful towards males because she repeatedly heard stories of women who were terribly abused by their lovers as she grew. I'm quite sure clinical sciences must have some explanation relating to some certain regions in the brain having abnormalities in their structure but that doesn't explain how the abnormalities developed/came to be since it wasn't like that earlier, otherwise you'd be saying such an individual's brain had been like that right from birth.

Which I have used as per your direction.

Except when the honesty is at variance with your perceptions right?
This is one of them chicken or egg questions. A person has to exist first before his thoughts can exist and in the course of existing his thoughts influence his being.
Who/what is a person?

Intangible I suppose should mean something that can't be touched or lacks PHYSICAL presence.... How did we arrive at physical processes or properties, could this be a deliberate attempt at making a convolution?


Mention one psychological diagnosis that has no physical root.
Narcissism



That's for you to figure out since you insist that they exist. Why do you expect me to tell you how you should prove the thing you insist exists and I don't believe exists?
Again, I say your mind is a wonderful tool at your disposal.

I used the method you supplied and arrived at a conclusion that is at odds with your assertions. It is left for you to figure out why your method does not work.
I would choose to believe the strength of atheism follows the path of objectivity and honesty, anything otherwise is aimed at creating confusion and a lack of willingness to be open-minded.

My question has always been for you to show that these things you call spirit are not results of physical processes. If they are the result of physical processes then spirit does not exist. Is that clear now?
Very clear sir! I would like to ask you this tho; does a man think because of what he becomes/became/even what he wants to be or he became this/that because of what he thinks?



I have answered this already, i didn't claim initiation of thoughts always arise from me. I claimed ownership of all my thoughts. The 2 are not the same.
Metaphysics is not science, its philosophy. You can philosophize all you want but when your thoughts intersect with reality then you must produce substance or else your philosophy remains a fantasy. I would have substance not fantasy, thank you very much.
I didn't say it is science, and you're welcome.

I have often wondered how he and some others prophesy. Whence came their powers.

I find it difficult to believe that all those prophecies are staged or scripted.

The atheists or deists are quick to discount them as false, leading me to ask if such claim is wise.

In what capacity and by what authority do you assert that all these prophesies are staged?

I am inclined to believe that there are mysteries in this world. Nobody understands fully how these things work.

The fact that these pastors cannot do everything like raising a man from the dead, making an amputated limb grow etc is still not enough to dismiss certain things they do as fake.

6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else.

7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

In response to stimuli. Can you now answer my question and stop answering questions with questions.
Below is the question I asked to which you replied me with a question; "what do you mean by requested or demanded?"


If functional defects are like hormonal and chemical imbalances (too much or too little of this substances in the bloodstream), I went on to ask you, do hormones just get released into the bloodstream by their own will or when there's a request/demand for such?
I'm not certain how I erred in dignifying you with a response making the question simpler to comprehend.


I never claimed intangibles do not exist, it is you claiming they are spirit and separate from physical processes.
I would believe this two (intangible and spirit) are synonymous in the context of explaining what spirits are and can be interchangeably used. You may then agree with me that saying intangibles (spirits) is not separate from physical (tangible) processes is not really smart.

The questions are coming because you say defects in the brain are all physical (be it structural or functional), hence ruling out psychological defects which obviously is not a physical impairment but occurring on the plane of intangibility (mental) and I needed to make you see the falsehood in that assertion so we can make progress.


Now can you demonstrate your spirit or spiritual realm as things that are independent of physical processes? This has been the question I have asked you to answer from the beginning.
I still don't know how you expect me to demonstrate an intangible experiment with tangible materials as it seems that's what you're asking me to do. I had supplied you with the truth in its most basic form that the laboratory is in your mind and the apparatuses are within it, go in as you will and discover was my earlier admonition. Moreover, your question from the beginning was based on the nonexistence of spirits or the spiritual realm and not whether they are things independent of physical processes or not.



Do you understand the things you read or are you wilfully misrepresenting what I wrote? Where did I claim that all my thoughts were initiated by me? I wrote that all my thoughts are mine, I never claimed they were initiated by me.
In absolute honesty, I can't say I do all the times.... I try not to assume which is why I ask questions but that doesn't seem to settle well with you. I made it clear I was talking about thoughts starting point but you insisted all the thoughts in your head are yours, they are all on the first page, do go back and see for yourself.


As kids, physical sciences did fascinate us a great deal but as we grow we realized that is just one of the many sciences. If you're arguments are fiercely centered on physical sciences, I bet you'd easily dispute the field of metaphysics been a thing at all.

You are funny. Of course you can divorce clothes from the mannequins but can you show me love floating in the air or lying on the floor?
Oh the expression, ' love in the air' lol.... A very accurate one for this discourse, its a social description of a perceived romantic atmosphere. Love in that sense is not a tangible thing yet it is perceived and alluded to, do we now conclude that because of the intangibility of love it doesn't exist?



What a load of rubbish. You just said I should know myself I report to you what I know and you go on to attempt invalidate my observation. If you are not confident in the result why did you suggest the method? I have no external voices in my head, if you do, good for you.
You really think I'm the one saying rubbish?? You are the one laying claim to what's not for whatever reasons and I did say of course you are entitled to your opinions.....but the truth and fact remains that no man alive will say he's in the absolute the initiator of all thoughts in his mind. The brain is a tricky device, consider a lady who left her home seductively dressed (apparently in order to impress her sexual attractiveness on men), a man sees her and this sexuality registers in his brain and in that very instant he's already thinking about her voluminous chest and voluptuous booty and every mundane thing he could be doing with her. Its very easy for such a man to say he initiated the sexual thoughts but would it not suffice that the lady did sow the seeds of those thoughts (suggestion/suggestive clothing). Most of the thoughts of man on a constant basis are based off manipulations in the form of suggestions, some are instinctive/behavioral (persistent repetition)...and some more. Your thoughts are never entirely initiated by you sir, to think otherwise is in itself folly.
