Are we still separating the lamb from the Father?
I don't think anyone had been separating the Lamb from the Father.
Not me, nor do I think Maamin had.
Who had?

Christianity Etc › Re: How To See The Kingdom Of The Heaven. by MuttleyLaff:
paxonel:
just believe in him that's all. John 3:16

Just believe in him the kingdom already right here with you, you don't need to do anything else.

You are a christian that means you already believe, you have the kingdom already.

The kingdom is christianity.

Just go about live your life freely, that's all.
Maximus85 & paxonel, I realised after posting that I havent asked that question clearly, properly and effectively enough
so I need to re-ask and reask in a direct, different and more refined way

5/ Now what are the two conditions, Jesus' exact words, concerning what is required for someone, to enter into the kingdom, to set foot on and into the kingdom?
He said that, no one, without these two conditions, can enter into the kingdom, to set foot on and into the kingdom.

We arent talking about enjoying the benefits of the kingdom, not about seeing the benefits of the kingdom, not about appreciating the benefits of the kingdom, not about acknowledging the benefits of the kingdom
but talking about physical enter/entry into kingdom.

It even isnt the false doctrine it's being built up to be,
but is a fact, reality and truth that, except one is biologically born of human being (i.e. born of water)
and spiritually born of God (i.e. born again, as in born from above, born of the Spirit) you cannot enter the kingdom

To see the kingdom you need to be born again, as in born from above, born of the Spirit
but to enter the kingdom, unless you are born of water and born again, as in born from above, born of the Spirit, it is not going to happen

If not for Nicodemus, Jesus didnt even have to mention this.
Jesus was even baffled at Nicodemus
He told him off for being a teacher of Israel and not knowing such a basic and obvious thing like this

That one event, dead in the night, mention of born of water and born again, had and has nothing to do with water baptism

paxonel:
are you saying that only twelve were selected for the kingdom?
Maximus85:
Let's me explain it better.

But first,
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

That kingdom is coming from where?
Maximus85, answer these:
1/ Do you believe it is possible to see the Kingdom though without entering into the Kingdom?

2/ Do you understand that you can hear of, see afar, see on TV, read/see on social media like Instagram, Youtube, Facebook,
read on the internet about the power and mightiness of the kingdom
but no one can enter into the kingdom except they meet all of the requirements?

3/ Do you understand that people can see the demonstration of the power of the kingdom,
people watch the demonstration of the power of the kingdom
but to enter into the kingdom, to set foot on and into the kingdom, requires different and certain criteria being met

4/ What did Jesus say, is needed for anyone to see (i.e. to acknowledge, to perceive, to recognise, to accept, to not deny etcetera)
the demonstration of the power & might of the kingdom, going around healing etcetera or about doing wonders for all to see?

5/ Now what did Jesus say, is needed, as a qualification, for someone, to enter into the kingdom, to set foot on and into the kingdom?

"I am that I am"?
I knew you were pulling my leg and know

Yes, Moses asked two questions, by saying:
“Suppose I go to the Israelites
and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’
and they ask me, ‘What is His name?’ What should I tell them?
”

God, here after, just like previous two other occasions ignored/declined saying what His name is
however He answers the second part of Moses' question
He told Moses, to say to the Israelites, that "I Am that I Am" sent him to them about liberating them from the Egyptian superpower of that time

Now the most interesting thing about "I Am that I Am" is that "I Am that I Am" is not a name.
It isnt even God's name
"I Am that I Am" is an expressive phrase,
simply addressing the second question in a telling and revealing way, whilst the first question is and was ignored

If God expresses Himself as "I Am that I Am", in order words "I will be what I will be", why limit Him to trinity?

Perfectbeing:
Sorry bro. it looks like I'm trolling but I'm not.

Jesus admonishes us to make disciples, baptizing them in name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Not Father, Son, Holy Spirit and my other limitless manifestations..
My point exactly is that any other of God's manifestations is included in this "Father, Son and Holy Spirit"
Perfectbeing, trust me when and if I say, you arent trolling


MuttleyLaff:
I honestly do feel like giving you a bear hug italö.
I just love your forthright honesty and admire your unashamed naivety

Where is or which verse, did you find this Trinitarian formula from?
and are you sure of the authenticity of this verse compared with the original text?

Did John the Baptist perform this your "invocation of the Holy Trinity" version for Jesus too?

Now, here is me answering any questions you have for me ...including and starting with the bold...
[quote author=italö post=34958960]Matt28:19[/quote]
MuttleyLaff:
Ouch! No!!
Tell me you didnt go for Matt 28:19
I knew you'll rise to that bait and go for Matt 28:19
but prayed and hope you would have the sense not to
[quote author=italö post=34973885]We are following what Jesus and his apostles/Church taught and practised...including translations...[/quote]
MuttleyLaff:
Whatever, is written, in the Bible, is not wrong.
I cant vouch, same, for the translations though.
An example, is your favourite
"Matthew 28:19"
where insertions or additions to the original text were made, to end up with what we presently have as "Matthew 28:19"
The above quotes, were exchanges posted 3 years ago, about Matthew 28:19

I reproduced them here because the exchanges are closely connected
and similar to the " Father, Son, Holy Spirit " Trinitarian formula, you in a relaxed manner, mentioned in your comment

Maybe you dont know, maybe you arent aware, maybe you havent found out
that what we have, as bible translations, even on to today, based on the politics, based on the agenda, based on the prevailing ignorance,
based on denominational doctrine, based on the holding to the tradition of men, based on the dogma, of the day,
have and have had numerous insertions, additions and inventions to the original text made to it.

Perfectbeing, Matthew 28:19, that you paraphrased in your comment, sadly is one of such and so is a victim of deliberate bible manipulation
It is glaring that someone so desperate to preach trinity as a doctrine, went to the great length of adding to Matthew 28:19 what was not, in the first instance, originally there

Maybe the perpetrator(s) isnt familiar with Proverbs 30:6, that says:
"Do not add to his words, or He will reprimand you, and you will be found to be a liar."

Perfectbeing:
The thing is that, the Bible didn't use the name God to refer to Jesus and Holy Spirit. So people drew conclusions that since this is so, then Jesus is different from God and the Holy Spirit is not God. Trying to let people see this Jesus, and this Holy Spirit as one and the same with God is what I'm doing.
Probably I'm not supposed to use the word "Trinity" but maybe the reason is that I am Limited by English.
I don't know if you get...
God manisfested in three Persons is seen all over the bible,
but God is not limited or restricted to three Persons.

Limited by English, isnt a good enough reason
Do your best to win full approval in God's sight, as a worker who is not ashamed of his work, one who correctly teaches the message of God's truth.

What has been going on so far, is challenging a doctrine thats trying to make and/or have trinity be a be-all and end-all of God's existence.

Thrice in bible history, was God asked what His name is
On three separate occassions, God was asked of His name
Three different people in the course of bible narrative, asked God what His name is.
God never said what it is instead asking the reason why each wanted to know what His name is
The second person that asked was told, by God that His name is impossible to understand or comprehend
Do you know what the answer was, that God gave the third and last person that asked a similar question?
Christianity Etc › Re: The Trinity And Identity Of God by MuttleyLaff:

They are not three persons but one.
That's what I'm trying to say.
If that's what you're trying to say, you're preaching to the choir then
because Maamin knows that, I know that, and those that know, know too Perfectbeing
Christianity Etc › Re: The Trinity And Identity Of God by MuttleyLaff: 3:29pm On Jul 26, 2018
Maamin:
OK! Let's agree on that then.

Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

I just want us all not to contradict the scripture.
If there is a "right hand of the throne"
there equally must be a "left, bad or wrong hand side of the throne".
It's similar to the expression of wanting to be on someone's good side

Perfectbeing:
I believe in the Trinity. Not Trinity as 3 Gods.
But trinity as one God.
The invisible God.
God as a man. (Jesus)
The spirit of God. (The Holy Spirit)

I don't see those 3 as three Gods.
I see them as one God.
Why parked at trinity.
The Bible doesn't pigeonhole God into trinity.

We know and experience God, as God the Father, and Son of God. The demonstration of the God's power
is also known or experienced through the use of the Holy Spirit but that doesn't mean God is restricted or limited to those three persons

Maamin:
Ok...here

Two thrones were mentioned
That of God and that of the lamb..none for the holy spirit.
How do we add this up as well to arrive at this very trinity doctrine
Revelation 7:10
And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.”

Revelation 21:22
I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

Revelation 11:15
…“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord [God] and of his Christ [Jesus], and he will reign for ever and ever.”

Revelation 22:1
Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.

Revelation 5:13
…“To him who sits on the throne [God] and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!”


Those are the verses
I thought right, you'll be referring to those verses and similar.

As I earlier pointed out there is no two thrones Maamin.
It's one throne, and its one God, having the Son of God projecting out of same one God, God the Father.

You accept, that God can project Himself however He can, don't you?

I said "NO" again... meaning it is possible

Look, don't confuse yourself with the 'NO'. If you had used.."possible" I would have said 'YES'

And I also have ability to send my emanation more like my reflection/image out to do it since he too can carry out the very tax perfectly like it were me or the very me. wink
Haven't I already apologised for this misunderstanding?

My last statement is in the form of a question. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God. What is God? And what is the Spirit of God? Are they two different things or are they then same thing.
What is Perfectbeing?
What is the wisdom, understanding, power, advice etcetera of Perfectbeing?
Are those different to Perfectbeing?
The wisdom, understanding, power, counsel are Perfect being, they are part of Perfect being, the same way the spirit of God is part of the Godhead which is God

And my answer was "NO" meaning it is possible.
Oh my apologies then,
For a moment, I thought you were saying, No it is impossible.

What is so complex in my question? cheesy

How do you explain the two thrones in revelations that of the Father and that of the Son , according to you they are figurative. You promised earlier to comment on that.?
There is no two thrones Maamin.
It's one God, having the Son projecting out of the Father.
Post the Revelation verse(s) here, let's all examine it together

"Is it impossible for God to simultaneously and concurrently be, in Heaven and earth, at any moment of time?"
Maamin:
Simultaneously in other words To be everywhere at anytime
MuttleyLaff:
God is already everywhere at anytime

"Is it impossible for God to simultaneously and concurrently
be, God the Father in Heaven
and be the Son of God on earth
, at any moment of time?"
Maamin:
No!
Why No!

1/ OK, so, are you saying, No! because you think and/or believe that, it is something impossible for God to do
that it is beyond God to do something like that?
2/ Maamin, if you need something done, if you need the thing done right
or needed it be done, in a very certain or particular way,
but there is no one, putting themselves forward to help,
but there is no one, offerring themselves &/or their services to help have this something done

If you've looked someone, looked for a man, among human beings,
who would rebuild the hedge (i.e. the wall of righteousness that guards the land),
If You've searched for someone, to stand in the gap or breach in the wall, before You, and on behalf of the land,
so that it won't be destroyed, but You found no one

There is no one to help, time is running out and it is increasingly and strongly becoming necessary for this something to be done,
now Maamin, in the absence of anyone coming forward, in the absence of anyone assisting, in the absence of anyone being up to the task,
if you're quite capable, able and especially, have the ability, means, know how, experience, skills to do this required & much needed something,
Maamin, if you can be the man, the man to deliver, if you can be the person, to get the work done,
would you not do it yourself, would you not go ahead and put yourself forward?
Would it not be best for you, considering the circumstances & situation, to do it yourself?

Sorry to ask.
Is the Spirit of God different from the Holy Spirit?
Perfectbeing, God is a Spirit and so invisible
The Spirit of God, just like God, is invisible too, and of intangible attributes

Now the Spirit of God is not different from the Holy Spirit
because the Holy Spirit, essentially, is the total or complete measure of what the Spirit of God is

The "Holy", in Holy Spirit, signifies purposefully set aside
It also signifies wholly, meaning the entirety, fullness, the full measure, combined effect, of the Spirit of God

There is one Spirit of God, just as there is one fruit of the Holy Spirit
however there are seven flavours to experience in this one Spirit of God
and nine flavours to taste in this one fruit of the Holy Spirit

Numbers seven and nine, symbolises perfection or completeness for both God and man respectively

I'll like to use Isaiah 11:2 to ask a question.
Isaiah 11:2 And the Spirit of the LORD will rest on him the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and might,
the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD.

Are the Spirit of the Lord, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might and the Spirit of knowledge different from each other?
They are the essense of the Holy Spirit
Holy, when used in conjunction with Spirit, means, complete, means the total, means wholly

It's similar, in relation to believers attribute when talking about the fruit of the Holy Spirit, which are:
love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
just as the attributes of the fruit of the Holy Spirit are different to each other,
so the seven fold spirit of God differ from each other

Is wisdom not different from understanding?
Is knowledge not different from counsel?
Is power not different from obedience or loyalty?

And I have filled him with the spirit of God,
in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,

- Exodus 31:3

He has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of workmanship
- Exodus 35:31

Usually the patriarchs got bursts or measures of the spirit of God to carry out God's work or agenda
You often read in the bible that the spirit of God descended on so-so and so

Well case in point, is Exodus 31:3 7 Exodus 35:31 reproduced above, about Bezalel

That was then but on the day of Pentecost we got delivery of the Holy Spirit (i.e. total or complete measure of the Spirit of God) that Jesus promised will be despatched.

Maamin:
OK let's do it like this
the God that beget Jesus is God (the father)
The one that is begotten is God (the son)

The point here is that one is father and the other is son. They can't be equal

In such case reconcile it with the Holy spirit too, since it was not begotten at anytime.
"Is it impossible for God to simultaneously and concurrently be, in Heaven and earth, at any moment of time?"
I purposely asked the above, my earlier question

Though it is the same Person, though the Father and Son are One
but in the status of being Father and being Son, they arent equal
In the status of being Son, the Son is subjected to the Father
The Son is loyal to the will and plan of the Father
The Son does not do what the Son never sees the Father do

Maamin:
In such case reconcile it with the Holy spirit too, since it was not begotten at anytime.

How did I stylishly didn't answer your question?
"Is it impossible for God to simultaneously and concurrently be, in Heaven and earth, at any moment of time?"
That above is the question reproduced.
For a question such like that, I was expecting a binary answer

Maamin:
To answer your question
God can be anywhere at anytime through the power of his holy spirit that fills up or inhabit the worlds even as deep as eternity.
And the Spirit of the LORD will rest on him
the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and might,
the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD.

- Isaiah 11:2

(1) Spirit of God,
(2) Spirit that gives extraordinary wisdom,
(3) Spirit that gives extraordinary insight & understanding that provides the ability to execute plans
(4) Spirit that gives advice,
(5) Spirit that gives power,
(6) Spirit of knowledge,
(7) Spirit that produces absolute loyalty to God.

Thank you. Hmm, kayefi.
Isnt it amazing that, its through of the power of His Holy Spirit, that God does all that He does
(i.e. or its with the help, of the power of the Seven spirits of God that God achieves and fulfils each and all that's in His Mind)

It is with the power of the Holy Spirit (i.e. the Seven spirits of God) that, God, took it on Himself to be a human being.
So in cahoot with the power of the Holy Spirit (i.e. power of the Seven Spirits of God)
became man in form, in the person of Jesus, the Son of God, God the Son.

Maamin:
Didn't we just said the same thing in different ways or understanding?
The bolded part bellow buttress my point
I'll enjoy you sharing in details exactly what the point is you were buttressing

Maamin:
In other words there is Jesus and there is God who is a spirit or better known as the Holy spirit
Jesus, is the incarnation of God,
the incarnation of the God who is a Spirit,
the incarnation of the God, better known for His Holy Spirit (i.e. the Seven spirits, the total or complete measure of the Spirit of God)



Maamin:
The Holy Spirit is always left out of these greetings, isn't it unusual if actually the trinity was scriptural or Christ taught it?
Abeggy chop knuckle jaare

The Holy Spirit, just like God is invisible, is of intangible attributes
Even human beings dont send greetings to and/or from attributes

Though part of the Godhead, no one prays to the Holy Spirit.
We pray for the move of the Holy Spirit, pray for the Holy Spirit to stir,
we pray for the Holy Spirit to convict, we pray that the Holy Spirit teach or reveal things
but no one prays to the Holy Spirit
We pray to God the Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God

Perfectbeing:
In other words, there's the father and the son but not the Holy Spirit..
Is that what you're saying or am I misinterpreting you?
What he's saying, is, God cant be boxed in,
God is a free Spirit, who cant be limited to trinity or be restricted by trinity

Maamin:
No!
Rather pointing to you that the trinity doctrine was not taught by Christ nor his disciples who were closed to him because it never was.

To answer your question God can be anywhere at anytime through the power of his holy spirit that fills up or inhabit the worlds even as deep as eternity.

The funny thing is how the third party in the trinity is less talked about or completely and stylishly left out in the heat of conversation. grin

Trinity remains a false and pagan concept.

We shall know the truth and the truth shall set us free indeed.

Shalom aleikhem
"Is it impossible for God to simultaneously and concurrently be, in Heaven and earth, at any moment of time?"

You haven't answered the question
and I am not surprised you stylishly didn't answer it

What is God, before and after God, became God the Father and/or Son of God?

Don't answer, as I'll tell:
God is Spirit, still remains a Spirit.

Usually the patriarchs got measures of the spirit of God to carry out God's work or agenda
but on the day of Pentecost we got delivery of the Holy Spirit (i.e. total or complete measure of the Spirit of God) that Jesus promised will be despatched.

The Holy Spirit filled the vacuum left by Jesus.

So no one is stylishly leaving out the Holy Spirit.
By default, God naturally, is a Spirit.

The truth that will indeed set anyone free, is realising God cannot be pigeonholed into trinity

For unto us a Child is born,
unto us a Son is given:
and the government shall be upon His shoulder:
and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God,
The everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace.

- Isaiah 9:6

I'll ask this question again that's often stylishly ignored:
Is it impossible for God to simultaneously and concurrently be, in Heaven and earth, at any moment of time?

That Isaiah 9:6 above aside, one really ought to, at least and for a start,
be asking oneself the following questions:
#1 Why did the God, need to become, God, the Father?
#2 Why did God, need to become, God, the Son?
#3 Why did God, stick to this human being means and following these protocols?

Well the phrase "Holy Trinity" is a misnomer
as it is suggesting an idea that is obviously wrong

God, the Living, Intelligent, Omnipresent, Self-Existing, All-Powerful, Authority, Influence being, cant be boxed up.

Part of the absurdity of the theological shenanigans so far presented on this thread, is the aspect of pigeonholing God into trinity
People wishing and trying their hardest best to pigeonhole God

It actually is imposing restrictions on God's activities or freedom, to be what He wishes to be

For crying out loud, God is not limited to 3 persons
because, God is ''I AM THAT I AM'', ''I SHALL BE THAT I SHALL'', ''I WILL BE THAT I BE''
so, since God is, not-known-number-of persons
God, then, is, x-persons
God, in effect is, ∞-persons

Adam, Noah, the patriarchs, the Israelites etcetera didnt know God, as a Father, as a Son
The realisation or knowledge of God being a Father and being a Son, came with the advent of Jesus

Who knows what other person(s), during the passage of time, God will also reveal Himself to be

johnydon22:
I will post 2 pairs of moral enquiring scenarios to see how people would respond to that.
Let us understand the intricacies our moral deductions.

Best way for this to work as intended is, you answer each question before even looking at the nexr question

1. A man walks past a pond and sees a young child drowning.
He can easily save the child, as the pond is shallow enough that he can stand.
But he will ruin his expensive suit in doing so.
If he doesn’t save the child, nobody else will, and the child will die.

Is he morally obligated to walk into the pond and save the child?
Absolutely yes, he is morally obligated to walk into the pond and save the child
especially, if he is aware the pond is shallow enough that he can stand in it.
A ruined expensive suit, is no comparison to, a lost life

johnydon22:
1b. A man plans to buy an expensive suit.
With the money he intends to spend, he could instead save the child who lives in some distant country and is dying from malaria.
Without the man's money, the child will die.

Is he morally obligated to forego buying the suit and to save the child instead?
If guaranteed that the money he intends to spend, could instead save the child, then he is morally obligated to forego buying the suit and to save the child instead

2. You are standing at the point a train track breaks into two ways.
5 men are working on one side of the track, 1 man is working on the other side,
each of them has a sound blocker blocking their ears and do not know the train is inbound.

You have the opportunity to push the track lever and direct the train to either of the sides.

Which of the sides would you rather have the trail go?
What a dilemma.
In a judgement call situation like this, I wont intervene
I'll be a bystander and hope for a good and positive outcome for any the following reasons:
1/ The train driver, might just in time, get the train stopped
2/ Miracles hasnt ceased to occur,
so the 5 men & 1 man working might miraculously take off their earmuffs,
just in the nick of time, to hear the train's blaring and warning hoots and jump out of its way
3/ Failing #1 and #2, then it's up to the train driver, to sum up all his training, remember them and then decide which track to continue the train on

johnydon22:
2b. You are standing on a bridge above a train track with a fat man at the point a train track.
5 men are working on the the track each of them has a sound blocker blocking their ears and do not know the train is inbound.

The fat man with you can wedge the train if pushed under the train

Would you push him or not?
Personal track safety (PTS) is a qualification which every worker has to have before being allowed to work on or near any line owned or managed by Network Rail
Safeguard – all lines are blocked and no trains will come through the site.
Site warden – a site warden will make sure you stay in a safe area while you work. Never distract a site warden.
Equipment warning – a warning system, operated by a lookout, or automatically, or by the train, will give you enough warning to reach a safe position at least 10 seconds before a train arrives.
Lookout warning – a lookout will warn you in time to get to a position of safety at least 10 seconds before the train arrives. Never distract a lookout.

It is certain, 2b, wouldnt be allowed to happen in sane environments

Though not advisable, but if an already dead fat man, sure, nothing wrong in pushing the fat man to wedge the train

By committing fornication with Mary, will you say that the Holy Spirit has led by example?
Can same be done to the nuns and reverend sisters by the popes and fathers?
Primesky:
Your hatred for the truth has blinded your mind and understanding.

Was Elizabet a virgin?.
How are you so sure that she hadn't had sex with her husband before then?.
A virgin must carry the sinless blood,
to stop foolish talkers and boasters from doubting the authenticity of the blood.
The blood of Jesus Christ remains the only sinless blood in the whole universe.
Unless you're cleansed by it, you can never be cleansed not saved!

Can you see how dirty your heart is?.
The mouth can never say what isn't in the heart.
This is the reason you need Jesus Christ now!.
Such filtiness can't survive God's glory and righteous presence.


A careful look at your reasoning and words will reveal the source.
Such filthy and sexulised character is only promoted by the fallen angels.
This is the same reason why God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah!

It is only an ignorant fly that will boast itself against a raging furnace.

Blessed be the one and only Holy and righteous God.

Salvation is free for all, but only the wise take it.

He was suspended indefinitely for daring to criticise the actions of the Jewish state and can't come back to the Labour Party through any door as opposition against him is way too intense. We just can't have him back under any circumstances. Besides, he'd still fall foul of the current LPs's current antisemitism code as it is.

Below are extracts about him from wiki. It's one of those that not just anyone can edit so I'd give it some credence. The last comment is one I strongly share.

Yes, that section does exist. It's sort of like a quiet place for them, which I reckon is a good idea.
They are criticised when they stray away from the protection of that section, so I wouldn't agree that we are "very careful not to offend" them on the site as a whole.
Christians should perhaps have a place like that, however, if they keep posting antiatheist threads in it then perhaps they shouldn't deserve one. I do think we don't bombard Christian threads where people are worshipping their God though,
or at least not as much as in one they set up specifically for atheist bashing. What NL needs is a Philosophy Section.
Then perhaps we atheists would have to find better things than Yahweh worshipper bashing to do. Though, I must say, I've never seen a mod in here!

In January 2009, Livingstone responded to the Gaza War by calling for the European Union and the UK to bring home their ambassadors to Israel to express disapproval for the "slaughter and systematic murder of innocent Arabs".

Livingstone was suspended from the Labour Party in April 2016 after he was accused of "bringing the party into disrepute" following a BBC Radio London interview in which he claimed Adolf Hitler "was supporting Zionism before he went mad and ended up killing six million Jews". Livingstone had been invited to discuss the suspension of Labour MP Naz Shah, after it became known Shah had forwarded a satirical map on Facebook suggesting that Israel should be relocated to the United States.
Livingstone described Shah's postings, which were made before she became an MP at the 2015 general election, as "rude and over-the-top" but not antisemitic, adding that he had never encountered antisemitism in Labour. Livingstone defended his claim about Hitler and Zionism by reference to Lenni Brenner's Zionism in the Age of the Dictators, and many commentators suggested that Livingstone was referring to the Haavara Agreement between Nazi Germany and the Zionist Federation of Germany. Livingstone's statements were criticised by historians, although the political scientist Norman Finkelstein said that whilst "Livingstone maybe wasn't precise enough, and lacked nuance", his comments did reflect Hitler's initial ambivalence towards Zionism.


Livingstone said there was a "well-orchestrated campaign by the Israel lobby to smear anybody who criticises Israeli policy as antisemitic".
Yes, was pulled over for criticising and making that Adolf Hitler comment
and that's why he eventually jumped, instead of waiting to be pushed

I see everything, right in all what Ken said there and nothing out of place or wrong
I dont see why he shouldnt be back in, especially under the party's now specified Code of Conduct concerning AntiSemitism

Most theologians are philosophers. I dont think a Philosophy Section is necessary.
The Religion Section, captures everyone. It is open to everyone & welcomes all.
It isnt exclusive to a particular section of people, that some will call Christians.

The Religion Section, is the place, to come, to cut the teeth, to learn things, to be provoked, to better understand something,
to get consciousness stirred, to get your prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness or even atheism, tried and tested
It's the place to share truth, afterall, truth never decreases by being shared.

Mod is ever here. Unlike previous mods, OAM4J, operates with a different style.
OAM4J is there, getting on working behind the scene, just not loud, showing off or flexing muscles

1948 is similar to concocting up The Tooth Fairy
Those that know, know, the whole thing, is nothing more than a charade,
Bud, lets just let sleeping dogs lie and be
Let's not shake or rock the table, we all are standing on
Mind you, just like Ken, I dont hate Israelis
His only sin, is saying the obvious and saying it, as it is

I think what the Labour Party has adopted is good enough,
and would exclude the likes of Livingstone, who can't be accepted back anyway unless Corbyn wants to resign and end the LP in one fell swoop.

I heard on Victoria Derbyshire that the person who wrote the original definition of antisemitism is opposed to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's version that some Jews want to impose on the Labour Party now.
The claim is that the IHRA one want to silence all critisism of anything the Israeli's do and has already been used for that purpose.
It's not the backdoor they want to shut, but the windows, the chimney, the airvents, and everything else that sounds like critisism.

I just wish we too could be as smart and get the same for blackness and racism.
Surely more blacks died of slavery than Jews in the holocaust!
Bud, but what was/were Ken's sin(s) gan paapaa?
Why was Ken suspended and summoned for disciplinary hearing before he eventually jumped off the cliff
instead of waiting to be pushed off the cliff by Labour?

It was after Ken resigned from the party, that Labour early this month, approved this their new Code of Conduct concerning AntiSemitism
With whats in it, Ken can reapply to join the party via this "backdoor"
and not with his past comments be flouting any part of the party's Code of Conduct concerning AntiSemitism

There is a section somewhere on this site, you have to be very careful not to offend certain lot in there or any among them,
You dont do or say anything wrong. Even heard, to comment, you'll sign yourself away
In fact, you dont criticise, to be short.
