And at the risk of failing to convey an obvious point-it is great for cults to insist on belief and failing that all manner of suffering and calamity will result but it strains credulity in anyone rational to imagine creator of the universe who has a hissy fit over that. If it were important to a creator then the creator is a…

Thankful am I the creator populated earth with humans and cockroaches in an incomprehensible universe after millions of years of evolution and furnished a guidebook with clear mandates so that no dissension, discrimination or hatred would ensue. Otherwise we would have sectarian violence, internecine warfare, slavery, terrorism,…

Primogeniture and ever changing alliances caused an admixture so that it is arbitrary and self-serving to conclude as you have that 3 bloodlines remain. Michael have you considered that you are the shining star of confirmation bias?

See the  response to Davis.

Davis wrote:

No. If you are talking about a common ancestor…every single King and Queen have one single ancestor. So…by your very strange and completely arbitrary definition…there is only one house.

These houses are defined in any appropriate source of your choice. It will even give the coat of arms.…[Read more]

Current royal houses in Europe:

• United Kingdom
• Sweden
• Denmark
• Norway
• Netherlands
• Belgium
• Luxembourg
• Spain

(Russia is not included)

These are not royal houses. The House refers to a  royal bloodline, and now there are three bloodlines from which all the royal families in power today come from Oldenburg, Nassau and…[Read more]

thus the dead can rise, the sick can be healed and the leper can be cleansed. Will that include the dead from ancient history coming back to life? Why is leprosy in its own category? Why not just group them in with the sick and heal them all. It will be a very confusing world when the ancients come back. Will H.…

Michael, I’ve heard of British Israelitism, which claims that the Twelve Tribes of Israel correspond with twelve peoples in Europe, as well as British Israelitism’s more deranged and evil twin Christian Identity. But I’ve never heard anything like what you’re proposing about The Beast of Revelation. In any event, I don’t…

Your brain is not a computer…..

The brain is more complex than a computer. Just from its geometric connections, as Roger Penrose points in, “The Emperor’s New Mind”, It has a very high level of aperiodic tiling compare with quasicrystals. Personally, I studied aperiodic tiling in a paper submitted to Physical Review…[Read more]

The problem with associating conscientiousness with molecules is that your brain replaces it’s molecules periodically. Thus what is the mechanism of being consistency? If we build you atom per atom in duplicate, will you be in two places at the same time? Or if we build you everywhere will you be omnipresent?

Interpret the question exclusively. Is consciousness limited to biological entities alone? If an artificiality such as a robot or a complicated AI like H.A.L. (2001: A Space Odyssey) were conscious, how would we even know it? How could we distinguish its “consciousness” from really cleverly written and executed coding intended onl…

Michael and Robert, To follow up on what Robert was saying in reply to Michael, actually, through Automatic Electronic Defibrillation, modern man actually does “raise the dead,” alheit very shortly therafter and, so far, only temporarily.

Michael, you don’t need to convince any of us that Christianity is bullshit. (I think the devil and the confessional and certainly different versions of bibles as they were later transcribed and indigenous pagan customs were add-ons) If your premise is accepted that the original tenets were corrupted then why were the original v…

Virgin birthed dying and rising savior that experiences a passion- pagan.

In that regard, if it really happen then we are saved from death and indeed he is the Savior.

I want to experience the second birth by being generated out of the Holy Spirit as he was so that I can truly be his “Bro”.

None of the lost causes mentioned in the article appear to have studied the new testament in Greek and realized that Jesus was “generated” (from the Greek) out of the Holy Spirit, and this is the same generation that we the believer is suppose to have, and is referred to as the second birth.

Michael17, Sooo…”No True Christian”? I think I’ve heard variations on this before.

No true Scotsman fallacy?

Well there are true Christians.

We just can’t find them yet

I know I said I wouldn’t respond to anything else, but this is too hard to resist. Am I to understand it then Michael that you went back in time to Israel to meet the first Christians?

LOL, I wish I had that capacity. What I meant by finding a remnant, is a congregation that  has persisted through time. ” And to the Church (a…[Read more]
