Dtruthspeaker: My friend, I really apologize for the brainwashing you have undergone ... The talking snake was cursed to eat dust...to add credence to the factuality of the curse, WHAT SPECIES OF SNAKE EAT DUSTS? Every mammal gives birth to their offspring in pains, the woman is not exceptional. If only you had a little knowledge as regarding the birth carnal or the cervix of the woman, you would understand why she passes through pain... How else was five-inch diameter head and 10-inch shoulder of a newborn pass through the birth channel without its mother feeling pains? Funny how I never wished anything upon you but you just had to, maybe to convince yourself that your dumb tale of Eden is true. The waste you have piled up in your head has led you to believe that the tree knowledge is figurative, just as the tree of life, that God had to send cherubims to guard the garden ... ONCE AGAIN I APOLOGIZE AND CONGRATULATE YOU FOR BEING A NEAR-PERFECT ROBOT! |

Dtruthspeaker: The chance of gaining knowledge from tasting a fruit is slim, except when discerning its freshness or spoilage based on taste - if they are poor of sight. Furthermore, distinguishing between good and bad relies heavily on prior experiences. Experience acts as a guide, revealing the consequences of actions and aiding in decision-making. This underscores the significance of true history; neglecting it for fiction leads to futile cycles. Now, let's entertain your fictional narrative. You argue that knowledge of good and bad existed post-fruit consumption. However, consider Jacob deceiving his father for blessings: without a defined moral code, his act wasn't deemed sinful. Yet, if he lacked awareness of wrongdoing, he'd have disguised himself. Thus, the absence of punishment for covetousness suggests divine favoritism, casting doubt on God's fairness. |

MaxInDHouse: I didn't mention inheritance or birthright... I said blessings... This is still you justifying that JACOB was right to covet his brother's inheritance to the extent that he could not share a meal with him in love. |

MaxInDHouse: Woah!!! Your holy God exhibits sin and You rationalise it to be for the right reasons... Omo, this is incredible... You know the funny thing is you say it is wrong for us to be jealous towards each other, yet it was JEALOUSY that led Jacob to deceiving his father to obtain his brother's blessings... in this vein you said it was permissible... very hilarious |

Dtruthspeaker: In what verse was this law given before Cain killed Abel? |
Religion / Re: Trust Not God by Roycemadeit(m): 5:26pm On Mar 07 |
Dtruthspeaker: Your Question is asides the point I was making... I was talking about polarity but let me oblige you with some answers: Right and Wrong is defined by circumstance and perspective... Are you right to have killed a person who intended to kill you and your family because he covets your property? Are you wrong to kill a person who is suffering from a great pain, a pain with no cure in existence? |
Religion / Re: Deities And Creators by Roycemadeit(m): 11:18am On Mar 07 |
MaxInDHouse: You must not have read your bible well enough... Let's see some verses. Galatians 5:19-21: "19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, anger, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God." Now let's see where the Holy God has these sins and more... Exodus 20:5, "You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God..." Exodus 32:10-11, "Now leave me alone so that my anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them." 1 Kings 22:22-23, in this passage God allows a lying spirit to deceive Ahab, the king of Israel. Malachi 1:3: "but Esau I have hated. NOW THE REST OF THE SINFUL NATURE OF GOD IS FOUND IN MORE BOOKS OF THE BIBLE... if you desire more passages, I would probably hearken... |
Religion / Re: Trust Not God by Roycemadeit(m): 11:09am On Mar 07 |
MaxInDHouse: You pointed out that there was no law against stealing blessings, so Jacob wasn't at fault. Yet, when discussing the absence of a law against Abel's murder, you cited intrinsic understanding and quoted from Matthew. This seems contradictory since you implied stealing blessings was acceptable without a law, suggesting we rely on laws to discern right from wrong... You must see how contradiction makes a ridicule of belief. |

MaxInDHouse: Your analogy with carbohydrates is contradictory to sin as it is factual and evidential. Fortunately, I could not even have thought sin was true if God did not exhibit a number of it, from anger, to jealousy, to lies. |
Religion / Re: Deities And Creators by Roycemadeit(m): 7:24am On Feb 27 |
MaxInDHouse: You committed no crimes, that you never prayed for repentance until you encountered someone who told you that you are a sinner, suggests that it wasn't a personal realisation but a mental conditioning. If we were to assume that it's necessary for one to repent, then those who lived and died years before Christianity was created would all be in hell. |
Religion / Hashem Not God by Roycemadeit(m): 6:52pm On Jan 30 |
Belief in God leads to assumptions about one's identity. However, the term "God" is exclusive to Christianity as it is featured in Christian text even though it lacks Hebrew origin as it originates from the proto-Germanic word "Gudan," meaning to pour or invoke. In the Tanakh, Exodus 6:3 states, "that God appeared to Abraham as El Shaddai, with the name Hashem not revealed." This raises questions about linguistic aspects, as the Hebrew deity Jehovah seemingly spoke German in translation, highlighting the complexities and manipulation involved in the would be word of God at the hands of men, to the extent that His name was changed. Hashem/El Shaddai and God/Jehovah differ in culture, age, and representation, one being a noun and the other a verb with no roots in the culture to which the deity appeared. Yet, contemporary assumptions often equate Chief/Head Deity of numerous culture or religion to God without understanding their distinct meanings. No Thanks to those who used political influence to spread their absurdity, undermining others' beliefs in order to manipulate, brainwash, and subjugate... Beliefs tie to cultural identities; mentioning Eledumare associates with Yoruba, while Odin aligns with German identity. The English lack a defined pantheon, making "God" more abstract, invoking rather than personifying. Cultures construct deities, shaping their creation beliefs and providing answers to existential questions. The deities become intertwined with a culture's origin, history, spirituality, tradition, and language. Consider this: What would happen to a culture if it lost its deities? Think about the profound impact on history, tradition, and spirituality. For instance, imagine removing God from the Bible—how would that alter the history of the Israelites? |

MaxInDHouse: The God of Abraham (Abraham considered the first Jew) has roots in diverse cultural influences. Abraham hailed from the land of Ur, but it's noteworthy that Ur emerged long after the completion of Egypt's pyramids, in Egypt's 18th dynastic period. This historical context shows that cultural and religious elements associated with Abraham's God could have been influenced by pre-existing beliefs and practices from the regions and periods that predated Ur. |
