What goes on now is all that goes on and all that will go on. The Eternal Present is all that exists.
Quote:
thank GOD that there is a heaven and hell where the injustic and the goodness of man will be accounted for...
The injustices and goodness of man are already accounted for in the present through Universal Law. It is the very reason that...

this way things will be made right...beacuse as things currently stand in this world ... they are very wrong..
Things are very wrong in this world indeed. If humans continue to act like swine we will continue to wallow in our own filth.
The firey pits of Hell? Fairytale stuff. The Ancient Hebrews had no concept of Hell, it comes from Greek Mythology - like I said fairytale stuff:(W.
Heaven? Look to your own scripture. In the beginning God made this world as a paradise for man (as a vehicle for the Spirit of God) to dwell in. We f**ked it up we have to fix it up. Not some spook in the clouds.

JESUS`s existance can be proven we have the testamony of the twelve disciples, the gosples, john the baptist and if you dont believe that
I don't believe it. This "proof" comes from the book that is the foundation of your religion. It's like me creating a religion about flying green pigs, then writing a book laying claim to hundreds of people seeing these flying green pigs, then writing in the very same book that all these things are true because this book says they are true.

just read the historian josephus`s writtings, he attests that there was a man named JESUS CHRIST so all these people cant be lying or delusional... i mean josephus was an historian what beifit would it be to him to say that JESUS existed.... but he did.
FACT: there was NEVER a man NAMED JESUS CHRIST. If he was a Jew he would not have the name Jesus. The word Christ is a title. We have spoken of Paul. He changed his hebrew name, Saul to Paul. Do you think a hebrew Rabbi (that you claim Jesus Christ was) would appreciate his name being changed? Which is what Paul did. Changed Yashua to Jesus and turned him into a god, but lets not get into Paul the deceiver just yet.
"All these people"? The only people here who have to be lying or delusional are Josephus and the few people who wrote the gospels. Thats hardly convincing.
Neither is the writings by Josephus laying claim to a man named Jesus Christ very convincing. In fact the paragraph on Jesus in his book Antiquities of the Jews that I assume your talking of doesn't even appear until around the 4th century AD.
Quote:
you said that JESUS said alot of things that contridicted himself show me one thing that he said that is contridicting what he said...
My bad. I did not mean to say Jesus contradicted himself, just that what he said contradicts the teachings of Paul and Christianity.
Quote:
JESUS taught truth salvation and gave hope to mankind that this world is not the be all and end all of it.... but if you dont believe then thats up to you but that is called having faith....
Like I said in an earlier post, admitting to faith is admitting to igorance. Faith is nothing to be proud of and should only be a stepping stone to knowledge.

you say that things where removed and added nothing was added and what happened with the bible was that it was organised... but the fundamentals are still there the goodness of the message is present ...it hasnt been excluded...it was just organised.
Organised? Yeah without a doubt :mmmyah:! Organised into a political tool for better control over the people. Please do not tell me there was anything divine about the councils that "organised" the Bible. There wasn't. The motive was political, that's all.
Things were definitely added and removed and you didn't even address the mistranslations. And yes the goodness of the message is still there and it's much easier to find without having to sift through the bullshit of christian dogma. Trust me. You should try it. Do as Master Yoda instructed Luke. Unlearn what you have learned. Approach the Bible with a clean state. Get rid of your predetermined christian ideas and read the bible again.

oh you said that paul was a deciever how and who did he decieve...paul spread the message of christ at the expense of his own life...paul was the best example of the love of GOD and that JESUS existed ...this man paul was one of the most zelous persecutor of christians and he all of a sudden was converted ( read road to damascus) and was willing to give his life to spread the message of christ so he must have had a pretty great religious exeperiance to make someone go from cheif christian hater to giving his life for christ..
Paul is a whole nother thread (I might just start one). The problem with Paul is that he told you how great he was. It's called false piety.
Great religious experience? Hardly. He was just clever. Very clever. He did not give his life for Christ. He gained his life because of his lie of christ. Essentially he did this:
GOD (Supreme Ruler of all the worlds)
JESUS (Sage, annointed one, mediator between man and God)
PAUL (Nobody)
changed through lies to this:
JESUS as God
PAUL (Sage, annointed one, mediator between Jesus and Man)
EVERYONE ELSE
Do you think we would even hear about Paul these days if he remained a persecutor of the followers of Jesus. I highly doubt. Instead he is one of the most well known men in history and is responsible for a 3rd of the writings that form the basis of Chistianity ie. the New Testement.
You have been hoodwinked, flim-flamed, :picture:...
...deceived by Paul the deceiver.

you talk about universal law but what is that to you ... muhummads jihad and beheadings...I hope not.... no its the laws that where given by GOD the FATHER .... through the jews colminating in the teachings of christ... that is universal law...they are the things that bring justice and that keep man civil.....
Like I said I am not moslem. Universal Law can be seen all around you. It is the very foundation of the Universe. It is called Maat in ancient Kamitic (egyptian). It is not a writing on a scroll or tablet or whatever that says: DO NOT DO THIS!!!
This is Law through fear and hence not real law. True Law is upheld through love. Your idea of law does not keep man civil because, well to quote you from before:
Quote:
beacuse as things currently stand in this world ... they are very wrong.
You have been caught out. The laws of this world are based on your concept of law, the bibles concept of law, a law of fear...and look at the world. Civil? Well...you have said yourself how things currently stand.

I mean if you dont believe in christ or christianity believe because of the works that where done ... i mean honestly the works that where done by christ speak for themselves (what where the works of christ and the disciples according to world standards good or evil) they where good!...now even if you dont believe in christianity you should believe in that... now take that and apply that to muhummads teachings/.. and the way he conducted himself and what he taught...anyone in there right mind can see they were evil ...even if you do believe in religion you can see that what muhummad taught and practiced was wrong even by todays standards where the world is a messed up place... by the way... i cant think of any other systems of law that we have that dont base there foundations from the bible...all law today comes from the bible foundations...unless you from a muslim country
My last point has just been strengthened!
Quote:
anyway you must have faith without faith you will never believe..... in either heaven or hell or GOD for that matter....
So...the goal is to believe? And this is attained through faith?
Faith is something you aquire through sound right reasoning, and belief is a step before it. Knowledge is the end goal. Knowledge is experience.
You use this process everyday (except obivously in your religion).
You believe something.
You investigate, research and gain an intellectual understanding. This equips you with faith. Faith to take the next stop, that is to experience. To know...
