We need science to investigate the truth.
scriptures just increases our imaginations.
I am really enjoying your inquiries. Each of them share the intent of just wanting to understand, like everyone else does, even if they will not admit it.
Yes.... the sciences or i should say the intent of maintaining an objective approach to learning and combining knowledge is hugenormous, to all mankind.
Scriptures have their merit.
let's go over a few items for this:
the bible says so, Jesus is living, he is God incarnation, he created the world
Jesus; the man, is in the dirt; the spirit or gifts he gave are still working and why we still talking about him. Damn right he LIVES; in all of us based on what he gave in his compassionate intent to enable the minds of the people (with knowledge).
We are all of 'god' (incarnate). eg.... find god as our creator, the beginning/ending, the alpha/omega; the boss (existence itself; all mass, all energy, all time; the corporeal, the spirit, the transcendant; the trinity: mother nature as a whole) . Perhaps, to observe our creator as existence itself; then to honor God and be 'good' within gods world; being responsible is the perfect homage (watch your every step, by choice)
you are entangled to all existence; whether you know it or not, just by being alive; appreciate the Love of being alive.
Jesus the man is no longer making any choices.
I am an unbeliever. Is he able to convert my heart to be loyal and faithful to him? So that I will not perish and stay in heaven with him forever
you are in heaven as it is the only time during your tenure that you will have the choice 'to do' (be a rock that can roll by choice)
just as Jesus lives in the gifts he gave to us (we the people;mankind) so can you. You can teach, you can make babies, you can plant a grove of trees; what you do during your tenure (while awake) is what enables your ever-lasting life. every soul has that opportunity and i would say quite clearly, you on the ground floor because the absolute now exists. That means, the truth that you share can live in the hearts and minds of your brethren and their children for almost ever, if you give for that contribution to continue.
the rules are easy and are found naturally in 'the garden' (God himself); if you give of your energy for 'life to continue' you live within that chain of life until the chain goes extinct. but like in the planting of trees, not only the birds the squirls the bees and all the other lives that benefit from your gift; you live within (and that be a tough chain to put into extinction as that 'tree of life' is and will continue)
now imagine being able to teach a whole slew of children and forever what they do is bound to 'good' all based on what you gave of your life, time, Love and energy (to support life to continue)
your name is not important; your life is
and remember, your parents and your whole lineage since the beginning of time is alive and in you, so be sure to 'honor your mother and father' by what you do, so they can live forever too
put your face in the mirror and scream, "thank you, we made it"
But jesus is to make u feel good in ur heart so that u have courage to live on.
you are like a splash in existence (on the pond) if your waves combine for life (to continue), you live longer
go make waves and do good
p/s... bad is when we do something selfish and cause a 'loss to the common' (that will always go extinct, eventually)
remember 'time' is a part of the trinity; so in god's time, the truth always pans out
enjoy
