Yes, don’t we all, Michael17 🙂 That is all anyone wants when they don’t take assertions and hearsay on faith alone. When someone makes a claim without any collaborative evidence it is reasonable to doubt its veracity. When someone makes supernatural claims without any collaborative evi…

Nor one glass eyeball. But he is claimed to have generated missing genitalia in Africa. I want to see the evidence.

Thanks Michael for the very clear and coherent response. Oh how I love reading your replies and trying to figure out how they answer my questions. So I take it as a no for Harry Potter? Is that correct?

As much as I like the Harry Potter series. You are correct. There’s a v…

That is so interesting Michael. So is this non-baryonic presence in cytoplasm, ahem, the realm where Harry Potter and the Easter Bunny dwell? Or is it only reserved for a one grand immense magical being?

@Reg Is DNA not inanimate?

DNA doesn’t meet the definition of life nor do cellular organelles

In my opinion there is a non-baryronic  presence in the cytoplasm that imbues life which predates this universe.

Awareness is an emergent property of life. Paramecium  demonstrate an elemental awareness as it hunts for amoeba and the amoeba in turn defense it’s self against the attack of the paramecium. All of this occurring without a nervous system and in real time.  White blood cells, in similar fashion have an elemental awareness of invaders to the bl…[Read more]

@Reg  I apologize for the reply delay. It’s been busy rapping up the year.

Michael, my psyche (naked or not) will never join with Christ. That would be my vision of Hell. Do I still get a “second birth” to be told that I am unsaved?

You will be resurrected, the the second birth is reserved for those that believe.  The second birth gives you a…[Read more]

@Reg You are correct. We do not have souls  as it’s been defined in art, literature and mainstream Christianity. The Greek word that has been rendered soul is nepresh has no spiritual connotation let alone separate from the body. It simply means having the breath of life from God that returns to God. Even plants and animals have the breath of li…[Read more]

@Dave, We hear what you are saying     in art, literature and mainstream Christian beliefs but it does not jive with the original manuscript. Let’s do a thought experiment, what does this verse mean to you:

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hel…[Read more]

Well gentlemen you have a conundrum. There are artificial structures on the moon, including buildings, glass domes and towers. Concrete evidence that your paradigm may be wrong. I can’t even make heads or tails out of it. Was there an advance race on earth billions of years in the past collaborating. the anomalous archaeological artifacts that h…[Read more]

@Reg

• As Christ says, souls are destroyed in Hell so I don’t consider it and eternity. But to your question. The possibility of the new birth and seeing creation and heavens through the Fathers eyes makes me feel elation. Living for eternity makes me feel likewise

@Reg

To receive the new birth is a blessing, but I have not received it. So far, I’ll have to stand on Judgement Day, like everyone else. “The books were open and the dead were judged”

Only how my life broadcasts my belief can be evidence for mercy since all men have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Parochial authorities (Rome) have…[Read more]

Presurrection to Judgement.
They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might

2 Thessalonians 1:9

This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be…

Twinkling of an eye means being dead you did not sense the immense passage of time.It is like suspended animation 0r cryogenic travel to a distant star. Yes we are all gods but only the father of gods shoul be worshipped. Yet we are all his creations. But Christ was born of God and we can receive the new birth.  As a member of his body…[Read more]

@Davis

Well the pagan interpretation of hell is as such. Scripture speaks of the second death after the resurrection to Judgement.

Reg. God uses poets and minstrels to allude to the truth, thanks for sharing. Oblivion from the  dead’s perspective is a blinking of an eye in duration since they have loss the faculty to register time. They arrive instantly to judgement day where “God stands in the congregation of the mighty and judges among the gods.”-Psalms. We will see God by…[Read more]

Reg. He calls us all gods including angels. The Trinity is questionable doctrine assumed from the baptismal proclaimation.

We a simply talking about the three ways God manifests himself to man.
