It doesn't look so bad!

A weak hypocrite who makes it to Heaven, will live in eternal joy forever.

A reasonably honest guy who doesn't make it to Heaven, will die forever in eternal pain.

As long as I don't die between 10pm Saturday night, when I do my major sinning, and early Sunday morning when I ask for forgiveness in church then I'm going to heaven.

Actually, don't want to go to heaven. I hate hypocrites and there will be far too many of them in heaven. 

Stephen Fry missed a whole lot about the way it happened.

Essentially:

1. God made the universe perfect, without trouble.

2. God gave mankind only one order: don't eat fruit from the TREE... with the warning that they would die if they did not obey.

3. God gave mankind the freedom to do whatever they wanted in every other way.

4. Mankind did the one little thing that God ordered them not to do. They ate from the tree.

5. Rather than destroy mankind for their disobedience, God found a way to save mankind, even though it meant much suffering in this life, and ultimately death here.

We will all arise in the resurrection in the last day. Your choice. Rise to be on God's side, or rise to be against Him.

We got a bunch of trouble the first time we went against God, including bone cancer in children. Stop fighting God, 'cause next time will be complete destruction that will take an eternity to accomplish. That destruction will make all the troubles we have in this life look and feel like a picnic at the beach in comparison.

Actually, you have been forgiven... for this life.

If God hadn't based His ideals on the promise of the Savior, Jesus, in times before Jesus came, and if He hadn't based His ideals on the work Jesus did on the cross to fulfill the promise, He would have destroyed people off the face of the earth long ago.

But... God, also, requires faith in Jesus salvation in this life, so that one can be saved for eternity. Faith in Jesus salvation is evidenced in people when they turn from evil and make good confession regarding their faith in Jesus.

All the sins and blasphemies of people have been forgiven them for this life. But if they don't turn in humble repentance to Jesus God, they will lose it all in the hereafter. Everybody dies, and everybody will arise again, to eternal joy, or to eternal damnation.

"God? Bone cancer in children, what's that all about?"

Stephen Fry lays it down..

I'd really like you to believe that the Jesus Christ of the Bible is the only way to eternal life.

Why? Because He is. However, I am a bit selfish for wanting you to be with us in joy for eternity. Sure, it would be great for you. But I am selfish a bit. Here's how I am selfish.

Eternity is a long time. And we need all the people we can get just to help pass the time in joy. Even God made people for His pleasure. And in the Proverbs in the Bible, you can find where it expresses this.

Now, God doesn't NEED to have the joy of you around for an eternity. But He would like it. And your presence would give me joy at the same time mine would give you joy. Eternity is a long time to be missing some joy. So, I am a bit selfish in this desiring of mine for you to share in Heaven with us.

But I also don't want to take your freedom from you. I might invite and try to convince you; I might even warn you of the dangers in the way you are going, but I don't want to take your freedom from you.

The border line between where a person has enough faith in the Son of God so that he can be saved, is only something that God can see. That's why we all need to run to find the truth with all our might... to be sure we don't miss it at the same time that we hold all kinds of false teachings.

Your books distract from the truth of the work Jesus Christ did on the cross. They distract from the fact that He arose from the dead, and sits on the Father's throne at the Father's right hand. They distract from the fact of this only way to be saved.

Now, you might be able to overcome the distraction of your books, somewhat. But why tempt yourself away from salvation? Fill yourself on the Bible so that the Holy Spirit has something to work with inside of you to propel you towards salvation.

You really want us to believe that the Bible is the only path to knowledge.
Yours its a false cult designed to enslave and you glorify Christ to make it more credible for the people.
Now I bring to you word of his teachings as they have been preached anew without being falsified, your response is to crucify the messengers upon your book.
Christ will not bear your responsibility and neither will anyone else, but those such as you are determined to deny his true teachings and reject accountability for your own past experiences and karma.

The Child agreed with the Father. This was the only way to save many children. The evil is YOUR book, and your book is evil. If it were not, you might have an inkling about the depth with which God embedded Himself in people, and people in the universe... so that this was the only way to save all who would believe in God.

Wake up before it is too late for you.

My book is not evil. It does not, for example, tell the story of a child being sacrificed in order to "test" his father. God would not put a child through that kind of terror where his father is about to sacrifice him... Because he heard some mysterious voices? You cannot find any evil in my book, but I find many problems with yours.

Interesting, I like the way you think (no pun intended).  Have any links or resources on this matter?

It is called automatic writing. It happens when people open their minds to demons so that a demon controls the pen and hand.

Throught all history, people have fought off demon spirits one way or another. But the demons were bold because their leader, Satan, was directing them, and was always there to back them up.

Then Jesus came and died on the cross for the sins of mankind, arose again on the third day, all without giving in to Satan and his hordes of demons. Jesus, by his action, threw Satan into the abyss, and locked and sealed it over him. Jesus essentially killed Satan.

So, what about the demons? They never had complete control in the old days before Jesus. At times mere people cast them out. Now with their leader, Satan, gone - in the abyss, the grave - they have to tiptoe ever so quietly, just to keep on existing, and to not be sent into the same abyss their leader was sent into.

One form of gentle pushing into the mind of a human being is through automatic writing. Must not push too hard. Never know for sure what that all-powerful Jesus might do through the Holy Spirit He sent at Pentecost to take His place for a while. But if the human allows and accepts it, the Holy Spirit just might let things slide.

People are turning away from the Bible. People are turning to demons more and more, though they often don't realize what they are doing. They are being convinced. They are being led astray. And as the number of demon-sympathetic people grow (again, without realizing what they are doing, sympathizing with demons), soon they will all be strong enough to actually call Satan up from the abyss; Satan up from the dead, as recorded in the Revelation in the Bible.

Shortly (with relation to all time) after Satan comes back up, Jesus will return for the final judgment of the world.

The funny thing about perception is that it occurs in the mind, and from this lofty perch of conscious liberty, Man declares his right to ignore objective content seemingly "at will"...

Mind is the first and most direct thing in our experience (objective content). This makes memories the best, perhaps the only criterion of personal identity.

By virtue of his reason, Man recognizes a thing with his mind; however, thinking is not an automatic function and the act of focusing one's consciousness is volitional; furthermore, No concept Man forms is valid unless he integrates it without contradiction into the total sum of his knowledge.
Source

"Thinking is man’s only basic virtue, from which all the others proceed. And his basic vice, the source of all his evils ... [is] the willful suspension of one’s consciousness, ... the refusal to know. It is the act of inducing an inner fog to escape the responsibility of judgment—on the unstated premise that a thing will not exist if only you refuse to identify it, ... Non-thinking is an act of annihilation, a wish to negate existence, an attempt to wipe out reality ... By refusing to say “It is,” you are refusing to say “I am.” By suspending your judgment, you are negating your person. When a man declares: “Who am I to know?” he is declaring: “Who am I to live?”"

The problem of how we access our memories is one of the most difficult in psychology. Dr. Stevenson found that some child memories relate to a previous existence. This additional problem can only be solved by postulating the survival of some part of the mind beyond physical death. If there is no death of mind, then what is the source of mind?

"It is strong confirmation of any theory that proofs converging from many and varying classes of phenomena unite in establishing it".--The Hon. Robert Dale Owen

Now, consider the fact is that this Grandmother managed to write a 200-page book EVERY 3 WEEKS FOR YEARS, hundreds of books in total.  How was this prodigious output, covering such a wide range of topics, possible?  Please do not be too quick to reject the truthful answer, that she scribed DIRECTLY for our Heavenly Father, exactly as stated.  There probably has NEVER been a scribe so well connected — including all of the great ones acknowledged in all of the holy books.

Have you instead considered focusing on that which is invariant?  For example, the relationship between objective content and perception is invariant, i.e. the existence of objective content is inherently linked to our perception of it. Not only is this self-apparent, but it precludes any unnecessary assumptions, e.g. that objective content can exist independent of perception.

The reason I mention this is to place a different spin on traditional exploration. Instead of trying to "find" anything, why not instead recognize, in the most simple of terms, how we come to understand anything at all (i.e. the process by which we know) and see what that might tell us about reality instead?  Recognizing the self-evident truth that objective content and perception are logically inseparable has vast implications on reality in and of itself, and it can even tell us a hell of a lot about things that we haven't explored or don't know about yet.

LOL

Every single time I try debating with someone (on whether or not god exists), it seems to be with someone covering all the bases as you've mentioned.  That, or the other person is simply so full of themselves it causes their mind to shut out any alternatives to their own 'beliefs'.

I literally just said that if we can grow lesser organisms in a petri dish, it's completely possible that our universe is a mere lab experiment in itself...and I'm being argued with the same exact logic 



We simply cannot use 'scientific facts' to understand something beyond our comprehension.  Humanity's understanding of....EVERYTHING....has been attained from our time on Earth.  That's it.  There could be thousands of galaxies out there, each with different 'laws' of physics/biology/etc.  We're carbon-based life forms.....who knows if there are species out there, created from the building blocks of 'elements' we can't even comprehend?

There are just too many variables out there, that it's both pointless and narrow-minded to be this devoted to finding a 'god' 

Talk about cowardly covering all the bases so you're always correct whatever the outcome.  
BADecker has got so many different threads of lies going on, the wet end just can't keep track of them all. Funny.

Remember, you can lie to us BADecker, but you can't lie to God.  

The LAWS as set forth by GOD have always been present; Man has constantly re-written the Laws to suit his own desires.

And what about your own moral character with regards to recognizing the truth about the evidence for life after death?

To disdainfully dismiss any immaterial phenomenon, as skeptics do, actually betrays the scientific method.

Skeptics defend the necessity to keep science and religion in their own proper place. Why not try to see if the schism can be repaired?

The LAWS of GOD and Creation are logical in that they were set forth to maintain BALANCE within the Creation; you can find the details in Phoenix Journal #27. The details about Jesus are in Phoenix Journal #2 and in the Pleiades Connection volumes. Modern science explains a lot and keeps explaining more. But outside the fence one still perceives a host of inexplicable mysteries. The Phoenix Journals were written to give this planet the truth "from the horse's mouth"; with truth, you can become aware of the Father's will within you, then you can live in wisdom of knowledge, serve the will of God within, and resist the adversary. It's not like you have something to lose by learning the truth about your eternal soul and the Laws of God.

Print the pages of the Journals as paper emits considerably less EMF pollution than your computer!


You don't need books to show you the way--but it undoubtedly helps as you come into understanding through the use of KNOWLEDGE.

There is no way to have a corner on TRUTH; we must SHARE if we are to turn this thing around. Only intelligent action will save this nation. Only truth will bring forth wisdom and righteousness.

You better check your science. Cause and effect, and entropy are two basic scientifically know fundamentals of universe activity. The fact of great complexity existing in the universe is self evident. It is found all around us, but especially in the human brain and the human mind.

For complexity to exist through the universal operation of cause and effect (we don't see anything other than cause and effect making things work), whatever started cause and effect - started the universe - must have been even more complex than the complexity of the universe.

The universe can't simply have always been. Why not? The fact of entropy would have turned the universe into a state of universal equilibrium throughout, long ago, equilibrium that held little or no complexity whatsoever.

Either you haven't thought about it, or you simply want to ignore it. The thing that started the universe matches our dictionary definition of the word "God."



We don't create anything. We don't even have free will. The appearance of both, free will and personal creation are there, but they are fictions. Why? Because of cause and effect. Something caused us to create and to have free will. It may have been the combined actions of bio-chemical and bio-electrical activity in our bodies, activity stimulated by the food we ate, which was grown because of the heat of the sun, etc., etc.

The point is, we create and feel free will because of cause and effect. Scientifically speaking, we have neither creating ability nor free will.



EDIT: We MAY have free will and creative ability. But if we do, it is because God sustains it. Scientifically speaking, there isn't any free will or creative ability.
