SnakeLord said:What position of validity allows you to make such a claim? That's the question.
Yeah, I mean.. who buys all that 'animals being hungry' nonsense? Or for that matter 'animals attacking intruders' garbage? Man how stupid are they, I much prefer the "animals can feel how sinful a person is"..
Lol, ffs.. you guys just get worse.
What has this got to do with testing jesus, satan or cliffs? We're talking about god telling Chen. Try to remember that heh.
You have no validity with which to make such a claim. god told him to do it, so he did it - as instructed to in the bible by gods own words. Surely he passed aswell considering that the lion didn't kill him? Ye of such little faith... He obviously had enough for all of you. He walked into a lions cage, got bitten and calmly walked out. That is the image of someone with complete trust, complete faith - not a lack of. Ye heathens..
Isn't it about time you repented for doubting god, while this man showed true courage where you would have obviously faltered? Should you also not repent for passing the grace and power of god off as satans work? How dare you do such a thing.
What gives you this belief, and how can you support it? What makes this more valid than him actually being tested by god?
Maybe he wasn't testing the man in the lions cage. Maybe he was testing you instead.
Everyone who knows themselves knows the truth.
Because this man did a "stupid thing" (right?) he does not know himself or god. God is truthful.
Yeah, but I really believe that...
Dogs have a great sense of smell for example.
Have you not noticed that animals like certain people they have never met and from some people they run away.
Try to reflect a little.
God told him to do it? How do you know?
Not everyone who shouts god, god is a follower of him.
Anyway. This guy didn't hear any god, he heard himself.
Just like when we pray, we hear but ourselves. There is no one but "me".
Yeah, it's time I repent. Sorry god, I didn't mean to do it.
Ye of little faith The "bad things" (satan) is as useful as the good things.
Without bad things, no one knows what the good things are
This is a good one. And I think we are being tested all the time.
SnakeLord said:This is not a position of validity. It's saying "I must be right because I say so".
He didn't do anything stupid. He did what jesus tells him to do in the bible. When god tells you to do something, you don't sit down and say "nah, that's stupid", you just get up and do it. No arguments, no whinging like a baby girl.. just do it.
Having a great sense of smell has no bearing on being able to detect who's a sinner or not. Your example is daft.
Perhaps you should spend a lot more time around animals before claiming they can detect a sinner from a non-sinner. Doing so would help you understand that lions do not 'detect sinners', but merely detect dinner and intruders.
Try to stay with the point a little.
And you can make this claim... how? How do you determine who is an honest follower of god, and who's just talking bullshit?
You could also apologise for being so silly you think lions can detect a sinner.
Nonsense.
I'd disagree. satan doesn't exist, neither does god. If you feel like arguing that case, then do so.. But I do expect a little more than simple say so.
By what?
That's what "I" believe.
Everyone goes their own path and they have their own truth.
You also believe in something and your thoughts and feelings are not more false than the ones I have.
But the voice that says "nah, that's stupid" is also a voice of "god".
That was just an example. Lions however are able to know how a person is, I never said that a dog could.
Certain animals have certain abilites. The lion is a manifestation of "love" on the animal level and it knows perfectly if a person does not come with love and it attacks him.
There is a natural explanation to everything. People don't know how Moses divided the sea and they don't know how Jesus raised the dead so they shout: A miracle! But only that is supernatural which we yet do not know. But when we learn to know this "supernatural" it "becomes" natural...
Heh. Maybe we have a little different view of what a "sinner" is. Actually I don't know if I should use that word. These "intruders" are the "sinners". Lions sense the heart of a person, but they also obey "the law" on an animal level. A person who obeys the law as a human is better than a lion and they don't necessary need to kill for dinner. But the nature kills thousands of people and animals every day and it feels no guilt, because the nature is neither good or bad, and so is god. The body is just an instrument, a tool to express oneself, and it is thrown into fire when it becomes useless. Whoever then identifies himself with his body, will also be thrown into the fire, because he is one with his body.
My job is not to judge, so I don't know exactly who is truthful.
No, I already asked him and he said that they can detect those who are not pure in heart.
Try to tell a person born blind what the color blue looks like.
People are so blind of words. If I mention god, they think I really mean that which they see as "god" so they don't believe, and I may use another word and they suddenly give me respect.
SnakeLord said:Fair enough, but the statement means diddly squat. Belief is not truth.
While that might be so, it doesn't make those 'truths' true.
Sure they are, if they're false... Like lions knowing who's a sinner or not.
According to who?
Then you shouldn't bring dogs into the discussion no?
I agree. In either case, it doesn't mean a lion is a manifestation of love.
You didn't hear anything other than yourself, and as such your statement is null and void as far as validity is concerned.
To quote you: "Anyway. This guy didn't hear any god, he heard himself". The same applies to you, no?
You can't consider others "blind of words" if you feel the need to use words where they go against their very meaning. It's like me saying:
"Today I had a fishfinger".

No.

Apologies in advance, but this is gibberish. Nothing more.
"This guy didn't hear any god, he heard himself". Is that not a judgement? The man says god told him, and here you are proudly declaring this man as a liar, or as a deluded fool. You then state you don't know who is truthful, but then claim this particular man isn't. Isn't that a contradiction?

This isn't of relevance. What you're actually saying is:
"Without being blind, a person doesn't know what seeing is".
You're taking two complete opposites and claiming you wont know one without the other, in which case you would need to be blind to know what sight is, you'd need to be deaf to know what hearing is, and you'd need to be dead to know what living is.
You can't consider others "blind of words" if you feel the need to use words where they go against their very meaning. It's like me saying:
"Today I had a fishfinger".
Oh, you're confused.. It actually means I had a cigarette. You're just 'blind to words' and thought I meant something other than I actually did.
Now What768, who's fault is that?
By all means invent a completely new word and give it your own meaning, but don't take words that already exist, and already have meanings, and then try using it for something completely unrelated. If you feel the need to do that, you can't then blame the listener for his confusion.
The_Preacher said:: because one is normal,thats why you delusional pratt.
Yes, it is truth - MY truth!
All paths lead to the same truth, my path, your path, and their path.
You don't know what the truth is and neither do I
so don't say that lions can't know the impure. However, I know it's your truth, but not necessary THE truth.
According to ME. Everyone who sees the truth in "me" hear "my voice"
Yes I should because I need to reflect the "lions can detect a sinner" to something similar making a "parable." Parables are the only things that can "explain" things that are not known.
The great Ra, the sun is also a manifestation of love, and doesn't it do the things that love does? It shines on all people, whoever they are, whatever they are.
But the sun represents love on the material level. If you know the 4 faces of God you will know that "greatest" of them is the lion.
Their faces looked like this: Each of the four had the face of a man, and on the right side each had the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox; each also had the face of an eagle. - 1 Ezekiel 10
If you know the zodiak you can reflect.
Yeah, there is no god, there is only me.
It is the voice of the voiceless which we hear
the voiceless subconscious mind which has never told a lie.
I don't know who is blind of words all I know is that there are those who are blind of words.
There is only the one word, the word who is Jesus Christ
Belief believes that which it considers to be 'good'.
§outh§tar said:In that case belief is arbitrary and no "just" God of eternity can cast anyone into furnace because they were not arbitrary.
Belief - Belief believes.
It is the nature of belief to believe.
Belief believes that which it considers to be 'good'.
it is hard to believe that 'bad stuff' happens
Unbelief - Unbelief actively disbelieves what it has been told is 'good' and says it is 'bad' to justify itself in the act of not believing. Unbelief uses 'bad stuff' to justify itself in it's act of unbelief because 'bad stuff' negates the good stuff and lends it's cause to unbelief in tearing down all it sees. Unbelief may only ever see bad stuff because it is in it's nature is to disbelieve everything and question everything with the intent of disbelieving anything it comes across as 'good'.
Now even from a very basic human perspective, one can only summise that belief is better than unbelief because belief builds on what it has whether it be good or bad whereas unbelief instinctively tears down what it is has irrespective of what it is.
Matt 25:29
For to all those who have, more will be given, and they will have an abundance
The words I speak are foolishness to you.
SnakeLord said:Firstly C20, you didn't answer my question. Here it is again:
"Tell me C20, why do you "unbelieve" in Odin?"
If you can manage a response, the very least you could do is answer the question that has been posed.
Thanks in advance.
Along with the rest of humanity.
I dont even know who Odin is for a start. So I cannot tell you whether he/she lived or died as Odin or not. Who is Odin?
It is quite nice to know that the whole of humanity would consider me a fool. That's quite an honour from where I am standing
That's quite an honour from where I am standing

However, to save you reading, and thus learning, how about Zeus? Brahma? Lenny the Leprechaun?
My quote in no way implies that you are a fool but that the words you type are foolish.
Did they live? Historically speaking?
