sonOfLucifer:

The idea of seeing the 'invisible' isn't original to Christianity. I'll try to find a source. The general idea is that sometimes, we miss the obvious because we make a lot of assumptions. Like the harbinger will tell you after I thrash him at Chess.

Humanity.

oyeludef:
so wat happened in d case of ananias and saphira who lied to d holy spirit? Counsel?

Image123:
Why would the Holy Spirit tell sinners to repent of sin but refuse to tell believers if they sin?

johnydon22:
It was at the infancy and ignorant age of humanity that it once thought the universe and everything in it was made for it and revolves around him.

Too bad some people would rather remain in that unparalleled act of willful ignorance in this 21st century...

I am sure he has been give a bitter lesson here

even though primitive humans may be excused as theirs were acts of ignorance that of a 21st century human is nothing less than willful lunacy

"my existence is worthwhile simply because of the experiences in life that I find worthwhile"

sonOfLucifer:
Failure. We weren't taught how to fail. Failure is not our portion. It must be enemies, haters, and other such nonsense. Either tread the well-worn path(used to be engineering, law and medicine, now it's music,football and dance) or don't try at all.
It's complex. Ours is a system that swallows those who try to operate on sound principles, we mock them for daring to be different... 'who u be', 'u think say u be jackie chan'.. we want quick fixes.. who e help? We feel no attachment to our environment, no obligation to do things right..
There are so many excuses to find if one's too scared of trying.. how can you succeed without failing. We have no role models, religion sells us the illusion that all will be well if we praise and worship harder. So we praise God out of suffering and fear, rather than love and hope. And we keep running around circles, hoping for angels to save us when we are the demons destroying ourselves.

BUT there is hope. There always is.

And are you sure you are Jtf? You weren't totally ret.arded in the other thread, so a bit suspicious.....

sonOfLucifer:
This statement is ambiguous. Am I a soul or do I possess a soul? What exactly is a soul? Would there be an 'I' without a body? Of what use is this 'I' without a body? Can a soul be separated from a personality?

sonOfLucifer:
The real me is a soul, or has one?

I hear there are experiences one goes through that could permanently change their personality. Read an article on it sometime back. Will see if I can find a link.

sonOfLucifer:
Yeah, you're banned. Well deserved, I must say.

wiegraf:
there was a reply to this thread? I thought y'all steered clear from it...

Can you give us your definition please? I think the some soul is some magical substance that is supposed to gives us sentience, free will, etc.

sonOfLucifer:
in3rigger..

texanomaly:
wiegraf get alter ego sef?

sonOfLucifer:

wiegraf:
Who do you think you are? People don't cordially disagree in these parts!

some technical problems with omniscience and/or free will include;

-there's an infinite regress when trying to collect the data - the observer cannot observe himself without causing infinite loop
-relativity essentially ensures that the future is set in stone. Some caveats? Perhaps. But you can't really get around that. Even without fancy theories you can sort of show that the future is set in stone.

texanomaly:
Who is this?

ebiagtales:
I must confess I did
cold kunuburukutu with nunu milkmonkey tail gives me inspiration to write songs of SolomonAkpos like this

sonOfLucifer:
Hmm.. Thanks. Grateful to you and plaetton.

wiegraf:
i have already addressed this actually. once complete knowledge is attainable then that means the future is determined... btw, there are also more practical problems with omniscience so...

wiegraf:
it still fails brah. for starters, i would be predicting his actions. nothing stopping my prediction from being wrong. if my prediction has no chance of failing it stops being one. it then becomes a determined fact, one that cannot be deviated from. once actions can be determined absolutely then there is, and never has been, no free will

texanomaly:
Actually, I'm not a fence sitter. I think your position is completely wrong and you are missing out on a great deal of blessings because of it. I simply don't wish to argue about it. fortunately, we are free to believe what we will.
