Well, you asked for the benefits and I gave you the benefits. You do need something to transcend normal human inclination - hate your enemies, keep accumulating stuff, etc. Following Jesus Christ is about the easiest way to do it - because his spirit in you will make that your default position - no need for elaborate mantras or meditations!

Really? So all the Christians that espouse hate, greed, etc what about them?

Besides I have way more tolerance as a non believer than most Christians I have come across.

The Bible teaches in Proverbs 22.6 Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it.
But we are know kids that have departed from the ways and teaches of heir parents.
What are your thoughts?

Fact is we don't live by absolutes. That recommendation is not a guarantee that children will always behave the way their parents taught them, especially now they have far more influences than just their parents teachings.

Christianity Etc › Re: "Thou Shalt Hold No Other Gods Before Me" by LordReed(m): 1:05pm On Oct 31, 2021

Bombblacks:
Thou shalt hold no other gods before me" is kind of admitting that there's are other god's in a monotheistic religion isn't it?

Not only does it assume other gods, but it actually accepts that one can worship them. It’s “thou shalt hold no other gods before me” not “thou shalt hold no god but me

The Hebrews were not originally monotheistic, they only became so after they returned from the Babylonian exile. The remains of their cultural heritage is captured in the earlier books of the Bible, where it was clear they saw their god as a national god rather than the universal god they now believe him to be.

Christianity Etc › Re: An Illustration Of How Heaven Looks Like Anyone.??? by LordReed(m): 1:01pm On Oct 31, 2021

wordapostle:
So many of us are so engrossed and fascinated about going to heaven that God is gradually losing our usefulness on earth. Going to heaven was not God's original plan. Even efter the second coming of Jesus we will return back to the new earth. Meanwhile no human can explicitly describe heaven because the makeup and material with which heaven was made with is not earthly. Our minds can fathom it. Just concentrate on making God happy while on earth

Isn't it fascinating how you believe in what your mind cannot fathom nor do you have evidence for.

Things of the spirit: inner peace, inner contentment, inner bliss. Things being rich and having a lot of stuff cannot give

Also things I don't need faith in a god to achieve. So what's the difference?

Scripture is not meant to be used as source of incantations to help ward away whatever ill-luck you wish. Instead, Scripture is meant to help fill you with knowledge of God and His Truth so that through obedience of His Will, you can partake of His benefits.

That there is no God?

While I do make the claim that your particular conception of god doesn’t exist, I do not make the claim that no gods of any kind exist however I do say I do not believe in any gods because I have no evidence that they do exist. In the first part I have shown you why I think so, your god will fail every type of test you put it to. In the second part I don't think we have explored the universe sufficiently to reach that conclusion but so far we have no evidence to suggest they do exist. Therefore it is not correct to say atheism makes that claim.

Well then there is no reason to accept that your god exists since it cannot perform a task you claim it has the ability to.

Because life has never being observed to be formed from non living things, so there must be an ultimate life that caused other life to spring forth.
God is what we call the ultimate life giver.

Have you observed this ultimate life giver creating life?

Sure but we have no evidence that a supernatural anthropomorphic being did it either. What we have evidence for are natural processes operating.

How do diseases and illness prove the existence of viruses and bacteria?
You've seen them before? Pls give me a description.

Their presence is indicative of particular diseases or illnesses. When we suspect that such a disease is in progress we can test for the causative organism and invariably we find the same ones causing the same diseases. Definitive proof that they are the causative agent is their absence or very low population in otherwise healthy persons contrasted with their presence and/or high population in affected persons.

Yes I have seen microorganisms under a microscope. It looked something like the attached picture.

Nope. When I offered the standard definition: this is what you wrote

You outrightly dismissed it as wrong and held up only your preferred one.

As I've mentioned in many of my previous replies, two of which is below

Or

As I mentioned to vic2ree, if your initial reply was something along the lines of

" I acknowledge the other definition but I only subscribe to this particular definition cos it better articulates what I hold to be true".
That would have been a different conversation and in my opinion a legitimate answer.

Ok I will acknowledge I should have phased it better to signify that the broader definition I am using also encapsulates the one you are using.

CHANGE OF POST! Now you have run from looking for "exceptions" and "not answering strangers" to Absolute Truth, You are just running all over the place.

I declared A Natural Truth that is known by all. No man is obligated neither does he obligate himself to regularly provide house, food, clothes, protection to STRANGERS.

NO ONE DOES IT, NOT EVEN YOU!

SO NO ROAD!

You said nothing about regularly provide house, food, clothes, protection. Your categorical statement was "None of us here answer the requests of children who are not ours. That is how it works."
