solid analysis;1530257 said:that may or may not be true...and the reality of the situation is, the reason why doesn't matter one bit if the conclusion they came to is false.

Everything is connected, everything is cause and effect. Hurting another does nothing but hurt yourself. We as humans were came from the universe, are apart of the universe, and when we die we will once again go back to the universe. Now replace universe with god and what do you have?
ThaChozenWun;1530288 said:No it doesn't. If you seek and it's not there then you did exactly what the bible tells you to do to find God and came up with final conclusion based on your findings. If you dismiss it without research than you are a drone.
No, i can understand. The issue is with accepting views regarding religion as being true when the view contradicts God's word. That is something i'm very hard to convince to do.ThaChozenWun;1530288 said:You believe the bible so you would never be able to understand.

universaltruth;1531249 said:My friend, all religion is is different chapters in the same book. Different perspectives on the same thing. You need knowledge in all to come to the one. You cant say you are aware when you are limiting yourself to one stance, it is contradiction, just as many things in the bible are contridictory. I actually believe in the bible for what it is, and Jesus is a person who we should strive to be like, but so is Buddha and etc. If you have the time look up Zhuangzi, a taoist philospher, he is one that will make you question everything you know and you will be better for it. Also, study philosophical Taoism as a whole, ive found the fundamental truths of this reality deeply interwoven in Taoist philosophy. Dont get it confused with its religious side however, that will push you back if you dont dig deep enough.
solid analysis;1531553 said:There it goes...see, this is the popular theology going around i want to hear/talk more about.
Now what i want to point out here is that the Bible tells us, in Genesis 1:1, the universe as you speak of it was created by God. That would go to follow that the universe as we know it remains separate from God, not equals.
I'm not really too fond of philosophers i might see wasup with dood though. I'll come back later to add to this since you brought up Jesus.
solid analysis;1530190 said:Having an open mind towards any but the Bible of course right? that's what kills me...the folk talking about being pro-open minded are the same folk that demonstrate the utmost closed mindedness towards scripture.

universaltruth;1532081 said:Really? You've never read Zhuangzi, what about the Tao Te Ching? Im amazed, from your posts i ifigured you would have read anything concerning the Tao back and forth, lol shows what I know lol

its over: 2012!;1532182 said:come on now you know solid analysis is correct here, BiblicalAtheist, as this forum is cluttered with members who promote open-mindedness about everything under the sun----except for interpreting and living God's scripture...then they kick into closed-mindedness or mockery or juvenile delinquency mode, with glee.
And it's mostly because they have each other as an audience, to agree with the clownliness. As pretty much every one of their nonsensical comments reeks with 'a search' for approval, from one of their cohorts here.
BiblicalAtheist;1532198 said:^^ That maybe kind of didn't come out right. What I mean is that I will contemplate something or wonder about something and then answers will come. I don't go search for the answer, the answer(but it's never a final answer lol) will come to me. And sometimes I will contemplate something or wonder about something and the answer will be impressed upon me. Its not something that I always think through step by step, understanding just sometimes *poof* comes.
universaltruth;1532218 said:Same here, I remember when I was a staunch atheist, "there cant be a god" and all that. However it gave me no peace, and I started on this journey seeking peace, and it seems that when you dont strive to receive, when you have no desires, when you want nothing, you are granted with everything. So simple, yet so complex
