Goozay Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 With all due respect Scotty, you come across on here like someone who struggles to cope with reality. In the past alcohol and other drugs helped, but you didn't find it sustainable. So now you rely on fantastic unprovable theories to help you make sense of the world. Thinking the Bible is divine, factual and prophetic and grasping onto outlandish conspiracy theories helps you cope - because you can't take the world as it is. As for my "world view" I enjoy a drink and having read The Bible can see it for what it is - a loose collection of old stories, myths and fables that have been translated from their original language and have lost a significant amount of context to muddy the intent of the original message and left open to widely different interpretations. The theory of a divine creator is outlandish enough, without using The Bible as evidence that a supernatural being actually exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Verily I say unto you, there be some standing here which shall not taste of death till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom." Our works contribute nothing to our salvation. They are merely evidence of our salvation. 13 hours ago, Huddersfield said: "For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Verily I say unto you, there be some standing here which shall not taste of death till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom." Peter, John, and James. 14 hours ago, Huddersfield said: "For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Verily I say unto you, there be some standing here which shall not taste of death till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom." Matthew 16:28, Mark 9:1, and Luke 9:27 all say the same thing. Kingdom in this sense means 'royal splendor'. Jesus wasn't referring to His Second Coming here. He was referring to His transfiguration. 14 hours ago, Huddersfield said: Surely Jesus very clearly and evidentially made a mistake here? No. He's still God. 14 hours ago, Ally Bongo said: Agreed I said it myself a few posts back but then keep biting lol It's clearly a sort of insanity mixed with the fear of death There's nothing to fear once you know Jesus. 1 Corinthians 15 55 “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” 56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

I've never had any problem with reality. My life 'in the world' was the easiest I've known.

(Sorry, but come on!) I can guarantee that you have never met me. (People are even surprised by what I look like.) I am very confident, together, and have no fears. I'm not compensating for anything. I haven't left my senses. I've come to them. 24 minutes ago, Goozay said: As for my "world view" I enjoy a drink... That's it?

I've no idea if what Ally Bear says is true but if it is, then it's fair game IMO.

Goozay Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 You're right Scotty, I've never met you. However on here you have two main themes you consistently push - Jesus and crackpot conspiracy theories. I'm particularly enjoying "the earth is flat" at the moment. Jesus Christ to me is one of the many characters that appear in The Bible. I understand he also gets a few mentions in The Qur'an. Finally, "All Christians go to heaven and everyone else goes to hell." is a pretty nasty philosophy I'd thank you to keep to yourself.

they've_been_suckered Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 In my experience most people who are overly religious are social outcasts. The world would be a better place without religion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phart Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) So much projected anger over someones beliefs. Everyone so certain. No one knows. Not one member of our species has ever known. You believe that book is true which is stupid, so let me psychoanalyze you from posts on a message board cause that's a much more rational course of action.
