You offered nothing to support your comment about any people holding a religion living better lives. You offered nothing about whether the religion is even true. How does living a lie allow anyone to live a better life?And yet people who hold their religion dear live better lives than those who don't. Christianity is a very beneficial belief.
That's what those who study these things report (I thought that was common knowledge).You offered nothing to support your comment about any people holding a religion living better lives.
I think that is true and one big reason for the early success of Christianity over paganism. I wonder if other religions offer more or less benefit?And yet people who hold their religion dear live better lives than those who don't. Christianity is a very beneficial belief.

I can attest to this as well. God pulled me out of the gutter and made a better man of me.
I give God the credit.Who are those who study what things?
If one or more gods helped pull you out of the gutter that’s fine. I suspect it was more a matter of you needing direction and discipline in your life as it’s not Gods but lifestyle changes and practices that changes the brain.
That’s fine. You won the god lottery. Screw those other losers who the gods chose to abandon.I give God the credit.

Does Christianity have Jihad? Heed your calling. Grab a sword and convert the masses.I did win the lottery.
God is selective in this age. "Many are called but few are chosen."
Yes. The struggle to be a good Christian. It's summed up "thy will be done"... To submit to the word of God.Does Christianity have Jihad? Heed your calling. Grab a sword and convert the masses.
Nay. We're told to come out of the world, but to support the call for repentance going out to it, and to be a good example.Does Christianity have Jihad? Heed your calling. Grab a sword and convert the masses.

A common report among the converted is that they were not looking for God, but that God must have been looking for them. I can attest to this. I was quite happy with my life before God uprooted it.RE: Proof of the Bible

These are extraordinary events. Theoretical Happenings like this are not unheard of. In order for the Bible (as an independent object) to provide an influence on people or directly interact with objects, there must be a "force." And yes, it six something (most likely) These forces are being studied. These inquiries made in the broad sense (Metaphysics), or in a more focus sense (Noetic Science) & (Real Magic) are very unique in the nature and impact in reference to their protocols.

Well, there is not scientific evidence as to the cause of religious epiphany or spiritualistic overtaking to occur. There are recorded events and interviews in which the basic interrogatives indicate that the witness and subjects connected with such events appear to be truthful. For more than 3000 years, Near Death Experiences (NDE) including witness reports on the sighting an apparitions have been recorded. From a time long before the pharaoh, humanity has used talisman, amulets, charms and alchemical potions in the course of development of rituals. The find at
Göbekli Tepe, Şanlıurfa, Anatolia, dates back eight or nine millennium, shows evidence of what appears to be a temple (much older than Stonehenge).
Belief in the Supernatural and tails of Superstition, the Supreme Being or other deities, angelic and demonistic activity all fall into the range of parapsychology (Metaphysics).
(INTERVENTION of a DEITY)
IF a person believes that a deity intervened to turn their life-force around for the better, THEN so be it. Such a foundation of strength does no harm. And unless the belief blossoms into something extreme, then it is not something that requires an exorcism.

Christianity is the promised Sabbath rest from the world so long awaited by the descendants of Israel.I think that is true and one big reason for the early success of Christianity over paganism. I wonder if other religions offer more or less benefit?
I have no idea if that is true or not. I was referring to the early Christian practice of communalism. They met and dined and worshiped in small groups and tended to take care of each other. Not the general pagan practice so it was enough that Christians tended to have better health than their neighbors.Christianity is the promised Sabbath rest from the world so long awaited by the descendants of Israel.
Yes. The struggle to be a good Christian. It's summed up "thy will be done"... To submit to the word of God.
Obviously your faith hangs on these epic myths. Do you give much thought to the message?No you aren't. You deny many of the tenets of Christianity. By removing the supernatural from God you deny the story of Creation, you deny the virgin birth, you deny the resurrection. You are a run of the mill deist at best.

Of course I believe. Why are you lying and why quote beautress ?Why bother to "try" at all? You've admitted what you don't believe.

Proof Of The Bible
I'm a Christian, but I view the stories as teaching narratives. I know Christian people who believe as you do. I did hands-on teaching children scriptures for a dozen years half a lifetime ago. I view some things the Bible teaches truer than a flawless map. There are many perspectives out there...

From a purely materialist, mechanistic perspective, all subjective — noetic — experience arises from physical matter, and consciousness is simply a byproduct of brain and body processes. The noetic sciences focus on bringing a scientific lens to the study of subjective experience, and to ways that consciousness may influence the physical world.
... is simply a byproduct of brain and body processes.
(COMMENT)that was confusing ...
(COMMENT)physiology will not exist without its unique spiritual content - both are metaphysical where physical physiology will dissipate, without conformity when no longer functional, the spiritual content could possibly remain as a cohesive entity and is perhaps the subliminal reason for a heavenly aspiration during a lifetime and is without a doubt the mechanism for evolution and the primary acknowledgment of its existence.
(COMMENT)same old - if that is what they were saying ... and no there is no science yet to explain the spiritual content of physiology - that would entail the metaphysical forces that create both.
