Laddie, ask some of the older jesus freaks about that.

You've gotten the kid gloves treatment so far.

Sorry Mr. Minimalist. I will bother you no more.

Sorry Mr. Minimalist. I will bother you no more.

You bother me. You make arguments you don't believe yourself.

Are you Mr. Minimalist? Or his Alter ego?

[Wyrd of Gawd]

End times may be near ???


So is that a definite yes, they are nigh ?? Or perhaps not that definite ?? Later, but not too much later ?? Soonish ??


Or deliberately vague so the pastor doesn't have all the flock cashing in their annuities and blowing it on wine, women and song, and thereby impacting (adversely) the collection plate ??

Read Matthew 24:36 and Mark 13:32.
And then the triad of blood moons is just too much evidence to be a coincidence.

Sodom has to be rebuilt to its former glory, Egypt has to be devoid of people for forty years, and all life has to be destroyed in the Middle East. When those things happen you can start to worry.

Min, might object to that allegation.

[YahwehIsTheWay]

God is not what you think He is. He is not a a physical entity that you can feel. He is a force that exists in no tangible form, in a separate dimension.

Oh Sweet Jesus we have another dumb ass phony Christian who's knowledge of scripture is roughly equal to Ken Ham's knowledge of evolutionary biology. Once again, it's up to a True Christian ™ like me to set him straight.

The first clue that our Lord Yahweh is a physical being is found in Genesis chapter three, right after the talking snake convinces the rib woman to eat the magic fruit.

Genesis 3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden

Now you notice the word, "walking", right? That's awfully hard to do when you're floating around as a disembodied spirit. You know how people walk, right? You move your physical, bodily feet, one in front of the other.





And then the Lord drops by Abraham's place for lunch.

Genesis 18:1-5 And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree: And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.

Don't you just hate it when God drops by and you're fresh out of nectar and ambrosia?

Later, the Lord wrestles with Jacob.

Genesis 32:24-30 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there. And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.

And speaking of face to face, the Lord didn't always need a burning bush to speak to people. He could drop by in the flesh and dispense with the pyrotechnics.

Exodus 33:11 And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend.
...
Exodus 33:23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.

"Face", "hand", "back parts", sounds like a body to me.

Yahweh's got a big cock, too. The Lord couldn't help pulling a bit of an Anthony Weiner move and show off to one of His chosen prophets.

Ezekiel 1:27 And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.

Apparently, He's hot and well hung.

The Lord would feel quite at home in Area 69 of this forum. He'd whip out his magnificent pecker and put all you heathen trash to shame. I suppose if it were His will, he'd have Lotsy converted faster than you can hit the "upload" button.

So I hope I've educated you out of all this New Age nonsense about the Lord being some kind of nowhere and yet everywhere disembodied spirit. That's just talk among namby pamby sissy Christians who've conceded to Godless science that the sky's not really a dome.

Now go read the Bible. All of it. From "In the beginning" of Genesis to the final "Amen" in Revelation.

And stop calling yourself a Christian until you do.

Fuck. You did it again. You can't even get that right.

I am really really sorry for not posting often. I was away on Church duties for a while and only came back. My pastor is a very intelligent person and has recommended that I come here often to pass the message of Jesus Christ as the end times may be near.

I will post more often from now onwards, promise.

No worries, we all have lives outside the forums. However passing the message as you phrase it is not the way you want to go about this. This is a discussion forum and in order to have a fruitfull discussion you have to have a open mind to what the other has to say, but not so open as to let your brains fall out. Let me ask you a few questions, I know you have your reasons for believing in god, and if a member of any religion came to you with the same proof you offer, would you convert? Do you think atheists secretly do believe in god? Are willing to admit the possibility you are wrong and maybe god does not exist (not deny him, but rather acknowledge the possibility.

Christian, Minnie is a grumpy old fart and jenny a intelligent, and if her mind anything to off of, sexy lady.

I didn't read any of this thread, so I may be repeating someone...

God is not what you think He is. He is not a a physical entity that you can feel. He is a force that exists in no tangible form, in a separate dimension.

Which dimension?
Whichever it is, this god character will be a tangible and physical entity within the bounds of that "dimension". It will have some set of properties that may, or may not, be available to us to investigate.


Also, how do you know that?
How do you know that there is "a force that exists in no tangible form, in a separate dimension."?
How did this information travel from that force into your neurons?

[jesus_wept]

God is not what you think He is. He is not a a physical entity that you can feel. He is a force that exists in no tangible form, in a separate dimension.

I don't understand, what's the difference between "a force that exists in no tangible form, in a separate dimension" and something that doesn't exist? How can you tell one from the other?
