I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.
That's because living is a forgetting, while death is a remembering.I believe it was the Mark Twain (or Isaac Asimov?) who once observed that he wasn’t troubled in the slightest by the notion of eternal nothingness after death because, he noted, he had been nothing for billions of years before he came to exist, and it didn’t bother him in the slightest bit, then.
Uhm. Ah. Uhh.That's because living is a forgetting, while death is a remembering.
It's an eastern belief. It means we forget where we came from when we are born and we remember where we came from when we die.Uhm. Ah. Uhh.
???
I say whut?
Ah.It's an eastern belief. It means we forget where we came from when we are born and we remember where we came from when we die.
I believe this is the alternate reality.Ah.
I guess I must be an Occidental.
For unless there is an afterlife, I’d guess that we don’t remember jack shit after we pass.
If I take a THC gummy later (pain management), I might have to reconsider that response a bit more fully!I believe this is the alternate reality.
How about to believe in being eternally united with God or eternally separated from God?
Send one my way?If I take a THC gummy later (pain management), I might have to reconsider that response a bit more fully!
The LORD is my shepherd; there is nothing I lack. In green pastures he makes me lie down; to still waters he leads me; he restores my soul. He guides me along right paths for the sake of his name. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff comfort me. You set a table before me in front of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Indeed, goodness and mercy will pursue me all the days of my life; I will dwell in the house of the LORD for endless days.- really is a senseless assertion, the criminal could care less about not being w/ someone nor relate to what they might be missing and relieved they were not punished and made extinct - party on.
as will be the outcome, extinction for all that use their madeup religion to persecute and victimize the innocent.
It didn't say that in the verses you quoted.As I understand it, these are preached to those who did not have the opportunity to hear the gospel in it's fullness
No he would not, because he would not have been so dense as to think i was talking about the past and the evolution of our species.Darwin would argue otherwise.
Religion provides a service no other agency can fill. As such it offers a functional advantage. If it didn't it would have perished long ago. That is classic Darwinism.No he would not, because he would not have been so dense as to think i was talking about the past and the evolution of our species.
Nah, the ills far outweigh any advantage from self delusion.Religion provides a service no other agency can fill. As such it offers a functional advantage. If it didn't it would have perished long ago. That is classic Darwinism.
If that were true, religion would have perished long ago. Leave it to you to deny the functional advantage aspect of natural selection.Nah, the ills far outweigh any advantage from self delusion.
1 Peter 4: 5-6, "5 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead. 6 For this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead , that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit."It didn't say that in the verses you quoted.
Do I get to make stuff up, too? It's not fair, if only one of us gets to make stuff up, now is it?
... for all that use their madeup religion to persecute and victimize the innocent.

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in company with scoffers. Rather, the law of the LORD is his joy; and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted near streams of water, that yields its fruit in season; Its leaves never wither; whatever he does prospers. But not so are the wicked, not so! They are like chaff driven by the wind. Therefore the wicked will not arise at the judgment, nor will sinners in the assembly of the just. Because the LORD knows the way of the just, but the way of the wicked leads to ruin.and the message the jews gave to jesus - that is what you claim, like them - nothing is lacking.
might someday you would see those people in the 1st century what those heavenly events were really all about. and that's not the trash that wrote the 4th century christian bible.
No one wrote the Bible in the 4th century. They compiled letters of inspired apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ.and the message the jews gave to jesus - that is what you claim, like them - nothing is lacking.

Seems like you can't get past the burning torture chamber.
What if it is like your heart was so hardened that when God shared his love with you, your hardened heart couldn't tolerate it and you asked God to remove it from you?
Would that be God's fault? Or yours?
