False. Memories are stored and recalled in neurons, which exist inside time and space.
Quote:it may represent a moment in time and in space but that time and space no longer exists therefore the existence of a memory exists outside of time and space.
A memory is not a perfect recreation of the events being remembered. The fact that the events being remembered are no longer occurring is not relevant to anything whatsoever.
You do understand that the universe does not rewind itself and replay events when you attempt to recall them, right?
Quote:If memories can be considered outside time and space
Your conditional statement fails.
Quote:then truly how far of a leap is it to also to consider a dream to be outside time and space.
That would be a leap from reality. Dreams occur in the brain. Brains take up dimensions of space. Brains are not transdimensional. But who knows... you're pretty out there... maybe yours is.
Quote:a dream we are conscious in put our being in a extra dimension even if it is as common as a dream dimension. But also keep in mind we could very well spend most of our lives in this world rather than in the waking world. Which by at least a loose definition makes you a trans dimensional being.
Again don't get anal about any of this I simply point out it is possible if you play with your definition just a little bit.
Dimensions pertain to height, width, and length. And time. Perhaps more higher dimensions on top. There's no wiggle room there. Nothing about dreams.
Quote:As far as immaterial goes both dreams and memories are immaterial
No. They are experiences resulting from physical processes in the brain. That's material.
Quote:yet you can exist in both of these realms.. So then the nature of conscious can float between a realm of time and space and a realm without the confines of time and space as our core nature is immaterial.
2 questions. What are you taking? And will you share with the rest of the class?
Quote:As far as morality goes nothing in the bible grants you immortality aside from God himself. So if God says you are immortal then I guess you are other wise know you are by nature a finite being.
Hold on. Let me get this straight. You don't believe souls are intrinsically immortal? Then that means that Jehovah not only sends souls into eternal conscious torment, but he is the very source that keeps them alive? They could eventually just cease to exist after a hundred trillion years, but no, that's not enough suffering.
Quote:So how exactly are these 'trigger words again?' and to whom are they made to stump? seems to me only the closed minded with a singular world bsolutest view seem trapped by the meaning of your words.. other wise easy peasie
So you're OK with self-identifying as a transdimensional, immortal, immaterial entity which will be reincarnated on another planet?

Exodus 21:20-21. You can beat your slaves as long as you don't kill them. Sounds like a green light for abuse to me.
Like I said. It's 2019. What is your excuse for making me spell all of this out? We've all seen this before.
Again, context is important. Instead of just posting the scripture and looking at what it meant in context, you posted your interpretation. What you are reading in Exodus 21 is Moses speaking about formal ordinances. It's not encouraging violence against slaves, but addressing the terms to which there would be a judicial ruling against a party. The issue with female servants is because they were sold as wives, which is why they wouldn't have been released in the seventh year. They weren't married to their male slaves, so they were free to go, but they could willfully stay. Many slaves had a financial obligation, so their work was also seen as "money" and that's how it was looked at judicially. How we apply these things today is different.
Eph 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace.
The best way to understand Christian requirements by God's law is to look at two things (Ten Commandments + Greatest Commandments). With the Ten Commandments, the first four are a direct responsibility to God, and the last six are our responsibility to each other. Of course Jesus simplified it even more by saying to love God with all of your heart, soul, and mind, which encompasses the first four (greatest commandment), and to love your neighbor as yourself, which encompasses the last six.
You asked for the sources and I gave them. Now you're moving the goalposts. Not to mention you're off topic to begin with.
Jesus is like Pinocchio. He's the bastard son of a carpenter. And a liar. And he wishes he was real.
