Believe in the One God and you shall breed in your millions!

Believe in the Many Gods and you shall become 'unique'.

Depends what you mean by believe. Believe does not make it real. Nor does it mean that you have evidence, because evidence is not necessary. Oops, sorry. Everything is evidence, right?

I must point out that my contributions to this forum are not an indication that I give a ratz one way or the other.

Then you probably believe the One Politician (President) or the Many Politicians (the ALP/NLP tag team)

What if you believe that the universe is just a wonderfully complex machine. No guiding hand, no meaning, no goal. We just have to make the best of it we can.

Doncha just love the way crackpots and fruitcakes consider themselves to be of that special few? And they don't mind telling you all about it. I could list the ones on this forum apart from yourself, but lets look at the larger picture. You've got Scientologists, Hare Krishnas, Mohammedans, and the various other Abrahamics, Buddhists, and a thousand other cults that need to tell you that their interpretation of reality is the one you should pretend to believe. What a bunch of arrogant bloody know-alls.

What, or who built it and why are beyond our understanding assuming it was built in the first place... which is why science does not ask why, rather, science asks how it was built.

Oh, no. You ain't no crackpot, except for the highlight crap, that could have been written by Light Boy. You, and people like Sprint and Gandalf condemn yourselves every time commit this secret knowledge shite to the written record.

How would we know unless "it" shows it's self or is explainable via science? That statement is kinda circular. You have a definitive "beyond our understanding". It was built in some fashion, it has not always existed. That leaves us with divining the explanation of it's existence and you say it is beyond our understanding, I don't know how you could make that claim. We understand lightening, the old Norse could have too with enough knowledge but it was Thor to them, magic, not understandable. In brain power, we are no different to them, the thing that divides us is knowledge.

Pretty sure 'Dinosaur' Bones and Fossils were discovered long ago and along with 'footprints' - the belief of 'Dragons' emerged.

Even now, Science and its 'Theories' is just another 'guestimation' of the Universe.
eg: Multi-Universes, Black Holes to another Dimension, etc.
All no different to 5th century peoples finding a T-Rex skull in the rock and believing Dragons are around.

I can't let that stand without a response.      



It is not, 'He will do bad things to you       if you don't do as He says.'

But rather, 'Don't do what you know is evil,        if you want my favour.'


And many verses in scripture adequately attest to that stance,
by the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,       towards men.

e.g.
Scripture plainly attests, that in the judgement, being a Jewish person, or being a church attending Christian,
counts for    zero    with God.

Matthew 7:21
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.




that he will have respect towards those who are fair, and righteous, in their dealings with their fellow man.


Exodus 23:7
Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.


Leviticus 19:15
Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.


Deuteronomy 1:17
Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.


Deuteronomy 25:1
If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, that the judges may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.


Deuteronomy 16:18
Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment.
19  Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.


2 Chronicles 19:6
And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the LORD, who is with you in the judgment.
7  Wherefore now let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts.


Psalms 34:14
Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.


Isaiah 1:17
Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.


Isaiah 48:17
Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
18  O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:


Jeremiah 22:3
Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood....


Jeremiah 9:24
But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.


Acts 10:34
Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
35  But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.


Romans 2:11
For there is no respect of persons with God.


Romans 2:28
For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29  But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.


Romans 12:18
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.


Galatians 6:7
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.


.


Isaiah 55:6
Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7  Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

....which was also Jesus message to the men of his time.



And lots, lots more.

Yet monotheists hold a belief for all of them, that they do not exist bar one. Imagine how many beliefs monotheists have believing they don't exist.  Mind boggling.

Oh here we go. Another bloody sermon from one of the forum's religious ratbags. Quote - Blah, blah, blah. Gobbledegook 3 verse 7. Why don't you grow up and take responsibility for your own interpretation of reality instead of hiding behind other people's ideas?

But will Saint Peter let you in?





Led Zeppelin - In My Time of Dying - 1975 Earls Court

Hard to know who is the least capable of 'thinking' for themselves - Yadda or It_is_the_Light?? 

Both just 'recycle' other people's material like a pair of 'Replicants' from the movie Bladerunner. 
(while having their legs humped by Bobby)

Both rely on stuff that if they were 'boats', Yadda's would be so old and primitive it would sink from all the holes in it.
It_is_the_Light's boat would be 'new' age, but shaped and designed like a Copper Pyramid where Hindu clichés make for the impression that he actually 'knows' something

The Jews had it both ways. Elohim is one of the names for god. Thing is Elohim is plural.
