yutterh 05/27/18 1:25:45 PM #7:	Yeah I do believe there is a GOD. Now who, what, where, why and how. I do not know, but I do know he is an active GOD. I do not believe him coming down and announcing his presence would probably cause more issues then solve. GOD doesn't want us to rely on him all the time, he wants to see us grow. I also believe in yin-yang and karma. They are part of the systems GOD put in place. Science is all part of his creation as well, the bible was designed without man having this knowledge, so it was written in a way for man could understand. But I believe the bible part metaphor and part fact. But too truly see this you need to look at the bible objectively and realize the bigger meaning to the book. Why was it written and who was it written for? It is both a history book and a work of fiction. Some things are a little exaggerate or watered down so early man could fully understand the concept of the book. Unfortunately our knowledge has led us both closer to and away from GOD. Yes we now understand the universe a lot better, but people have a hard time realizing that the bible was explaining the creation of the universe to people who don't even understand how plants grow yet. So yes some liberties were taken. How do you explain the concept of the universe to a child? It has brought us closer because we understand the materials he has worked with. Example, take the creariin of eve. It is written that GOD took the rib from Adam and created eve, what other creatures are capable of this? Oh why I know, the answers are cells. Adam and eve were cells, Adam through cellular mitosis, created eve.

I am not taking that away or saying that people shouldn't get strength from the bible. But the creation story and some other things are obviously exaggerated stories. The truth has long since been buried, the stories are what they are because that is how people communicate and pass on knowledge. Through stories, and sometimes events are a little exaggerate and sometimes events are under played and were much higher and way more complexe. Which events are those? I have no idea but that is how humans are. The bible was written with the knowledge of GOD but the hands of men. They are not designed to be deceiving, which is what people assume they are, but designed to be understood. People take the bible at face value and that loses all meaning to it. The bible is deep and very deep. Human tend to read what's on the surface of the bible and don't try to understand it. The bible is a holy text and a simple language translation or knowing the text backwards and forwards will never sink in unless you understand the why and the who. Christians talk about knowing GOD a lot but very few ever actually try. They read about everything that has been done and everything he is too do. But they never look to really see how GOD feels about situations. It's always talk about his wrath or his mercy. What about just GOD? GOD has feelings and emotions just like us, we are made in his image after all. It's always about what has GOD done or did for us. It's about the rules, salvation, etc. It's never about GOD.

The bible is a holy text and a simple language translation or knowing the text backwards and forwards will never sink in unless you understand the why and the who. Christians talk about knowing GOD a lot but very few ever actually try. They read about everything that has been done and everything he is too do. But they never look to really see how GOD feels about situations. It's always talk about his wrath or his mercy. What about just GOD? GOD has feelings and emotions just like us, we are made in his image after all. It's always about what has GOD done or did for us. It's about the rules, salvation, etc. It's never about GOD.

Baardmeester 05/27/18 2:10:21 PM #19:	I believe in the god of my ancestors, the ancient Frisians. This is before even the pantheon of gods made up by Finda worshiping my ancient ancestors like Odin(Woedan) and Neptunes(Neef Teunis). WY WIENE KENINGEN! De frank is niet blank! Hail to all the well-intentioned children of Frya! Through them the earth shall become holy. Learn and announce to the people Wr-alda is the ancient of ancients, for he created all things. Wr-alda is all in all, for he is eternal and everlasting. Wr-alda is omnipresent but invisible, and therefore is called a spirit. All that we can see of him are the created beings who come to life through him and go again, because from Wr-alda all things proceed and return to him. Wr-alda is the beginning and the end. Wr-alda is the only almighty being, because from him all other strength comes, and returns to him. Therefore he alone is the creator, and nothing exists without him. Wr-alda established eternal principles, upon which the laws of creation were founded, and no good laws could stand on any other foundation. But although everything is derived from Wr-alda, the wickedness of men does not come from him. Wickedness comes from heaviness, carelessness, and stupidity; therefore they may well be injurious to men, but never to Wr-alda. Wr-alda is wisdom, and the laws that he has made are the books from which we learn, nor is any wisdom to be found or gathered but in them. Men may see a great deal, but Wr-alda sees everything. Men can learn a great deal, but Wr-alda knows everything. Men can discover much, but to Wr-alda everything is open. Mankind are male and female, but Wr-alda created both. Mankind love and hate, but Wr-alda alone is just. Therefore Wr-alda is good, and there is no good without him. In the progress of time all creation alters and changes, but goodness alone is unalterable; and since Wr-alda is good, he cannot change. As he endures, he alone exists; everything else is show. <cite>Baardmeester posted [p:902071009] in Do you bel...

I do not believe him coming down and announcing his presence would probably cause more issues then solve. GOD doesn't want us to rely on him all the time, he wants to see us grow. I also believe in yin-yang and karma. They are part of the systems GOD put in place. Science is all part of his creation as well, the bible was designed without man having this knowledge, so it was written in a way for man could understand. But I believe the bible part metaphor and part fact. But too truly see this you need to look at the bible objectively and realize the bigger meaning to the book. Why was it written and who was it written for? It is both a history book and a work of fiction. Some things are a little exaggerate or watered down so early man could fully understand the concept of the book. Unfortunately our knowledge has led us both closer to and away from GOD. Yes we now understand the universe a lot better, but people have a hard time realizing that the bible was explaining the creation of the universe to people who don't even understand how plants grow yet. So yes some liberties were taken. How do you explain the concept of the universe to a child? It has brought us closer because we understand the materials he has worked with. Example, take the creariin of eve. It is written that GOD took the rib from Adam and created eve, what other creatures are capable of this? Oh why I know, the answers are cells.

Well one like the quote from futurama "if you do things right, no one will have know you did anything at all" GOD has long since stopped effecting the world directly. GOD is more subtle in GOD's approach, it's not like he uses a giant hand made of light to shape things. Hell I don't think anyone will ever understand exactly how he can control the universe but it isn't using magic. The best way to describe it from my current understanding would be like a small gust of wind. Things so subtle you won't even notice unless you pay attention. I feel coincidences are a sign and sometimes luck could be considered. The best way to explain it is it is like a rube Goldberg machine. So many little events just add up overtime. So when someone prays, most likely that prayer was already being answered before it was even a thought. Sometimes though, things don't go the way we expect we blame GOD or some other force. But sometimes bad things have to happen in order for man to understand. I know it's not much of a answer, but it's the best answer I can give right now.

The tree of knowledge that Adam and eve ate from, was always meant to be eventually consumed by them. GOD doesn't want us to live in ignorance forever, but we were commanded. We just weren't ready for the knowledge to be thrust on us. Hence why Adam and eve were extremely confused by their nakedness. The wrath of GOD wasn't bestowed upon them because they knew they were naked, GOD was furious because it was the first time in GOD's existence that GOD was disobeyed. But the wrath of GOD wasn't the reason we had to leave and be banished. The Apple was the final step in our creation and forced Eden to come to an end. In fact we humans still repeat this too this day. We are born into a world of wonder (eden) and when we grow up we gain knowledge and have to leave our childhood behind and face the world. Your absolutely right in that the bible is 100% truth and I am not saying it isn't. I am not saying to throw the bible out. I am simply saying you need to do more then to just simply remember the text and read them verbatim. Understand the meaning of the bible and how it was written.

Nah, I'm into nature spirits. those are still sortof like gods I don't subscribe to any actual religion. but I believe there is some kind of creator or creators. what I believe in is kinda like The Force from star wars. not the super powers part. but the part where The Force is some kind of presence that covers the whole universe. I doubt that God is like a man with a human mind. it's more likely to be some kind of alien type spirit that we can't comprehend <cite>Zikten posted [p:902077942] in Do you bel...

WastelandCowboy 05/31/18 8:33:15 PM #49:	Zeus posted... You mean textbook complex god. After all, I'm not a simple god like some kami. No. God complex. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_complex A god complex is an unshakable belief characterized by consistently inflated feelings of personal ability, privilege, or infallibility. A person with a god complex may refuse to admit the possibility of their error or failure, even in the face of irrefutable evidence, intractable problems or difficult or impossible tasks. The person is also highly dogmatic in their views, meaning the person speaks of their personal opinions as though they were unquestionably correct.[1] Someone with a god complex may exhibit no regard for the conventions and demands of society, and may request special consideration or privileges.[1] God complex is not a clinical term or diagnosable disorder and does not appear in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). The first person to use the term god-complex was Ernest Jones (191351).[2] His description, at least in the contents page of Essays in Applied Psycho-Analysis, describes the god complex as belief that one is a god.[3] <cite>WastelandCowboy posted [p:902335700] in Do you bel...

Syntheticon 05/31/18 10:48:37 PM #50:	minervo posted... @yutterh Why are you afraid to express your opinion at church? Is it because you're afraid to look like a fool? That's pride. Serve God, not man, for eventually we'll all stand before God. I believe one is saved by faith, not by works, else people would become proud and lord themselves over their brothers and sisters. I strengthened my faith by turning from deadly sins, and I can see that the bible is 100% truth. I'd say that you must be fun at parties but I'm guessing church socials don't count if they're dry lol No religion for me, after a weekend of reading the bible when I was younger to see what all the fuss was about (an equal parts amusing and frustrating experience), it became abundantly clear that it was to put a few self imposed restrictions on a population that was getting a little rowdier and out of hand than the ruling classes would have liked because they were the only ones not worried about not following the lessons and rules set out in it, a theme that continues today. --- Mod me?
