My Issue: The Supernatural

Speak for yourself Colours! I always find Kharakov's posts very refreshing.

Besides, I write on these forums in the same way: I talk about my faith without referring too much to Scriptures. Why? Because I think it's important to talk about God being revealed in and outside of the Church.

Anyway, were we to use Scripture constantly, we'd be labelled "Bible thumpers" or something. So either way, it feels like people on these boards have got some label ready to slap on us so that they don't have to seriously consider our words. So I hope you can keep an open heart and mind.

 

Kharakov's posts are about as "refreshing" as a glass of warm piss.

 

Colours,

I love you man! Don't think I'm attacking you!

I just am not sure sometimes what people want from us on this board.....us meaning people who ascribe to faith in "God" of some sort, in or outside of religion.

And it often seems like no matter what we say, we aren't taken seriously. I try to honestly look at what people are saying and take them seriously.

I just like when people do the same for me...yep

 

Well, he talks about my two favorite things: God and sex

 

I only have one source. God. Just like you.

Of course, if you don't apply logic to your faith, you will end up using a source other than God (such as a specific religion etc.). All of these "sources" have built in flaws to lead you to realiance upon God instead of something like the bible, the koran, or the teachings of some specific group (Catholicism or hinduism). Rely on something (within your own mind) other than God for guidance, and you end up with a warped understanding.

 

That's because you are an idiot. God made you that way, so I don't hold it against you.

 

But you dont believe we even have our own mind, i thought? Everything you believe you just pulled out of thin air one day, i suspect, which makes it no more valid than any other religion, no matter how confident you sound in your posts.

 

Ha ha...an idiot....

I love you, man.

 

i've got to say, that's a valid point.


schmooooooooooch.

 

Me too, me too!!

 

double post...

 

Thought wrong again. We have individual minds and desires. I never said we didn't. All I said is that God made them to do what they do.

Too bad. Didn't come from thin air... thin air came from the being I believe in.

So. You suspecting something comes from thin air makes it invalid. Lead on, fierce warrior.

 

what is your problem? cant you communicate with other people without being such a smart ass all the time? You seem like youre always angry

 

no, i don't think he's angry, colours, don't sweat it.

okay, this doesn't make sense. i know i keep pointing this out to you. if everything we think, do, desire, is caused and controlled by GOD, then we do NOT have individual minds at all, but are simply different aspects of GOD. Sophia is not "Sophia apart from God", but "God as Sophia". if everything i do is done by God, then I am God.

(a bag of skin and bones, filled with God, who makes it move and think and want, and has a jolly old time.)

it is meaningless to say I am separate from God if everything I do is done by God.
............this concept of "I" is meaningless; what I do, is GOD.


your whole philosophy would make a million times more sense if you quit saying that you are actually something, God aside.
according to you, what can you do, without God doing it for you? he even puts your desires inside your head...

 

Good question. One of them is this: I wonder if there is a catalytic substance that will convert water to Hydrogen and Oxygen with exposure to sunlight (instead of going through the whole sugar making process...).

Yes.

Don't feel guilty and you won't think I am angry.

 

No. You feel what God does. There is a difference. Lots of different souls out there for God to do stuff too.

Completely wrong. God values having souls to do stuff with. God does different things with different souls. Your sense of "I" is very important to God- it defines your relationship with God.

I am actually something. God does stuff for me all the time, and I feel it. The thoughts that arise because of the words of God that flow through other souls, the intentional caress of a girl, etc. It is the intent that God has grown within a soul that matters when interacting with another soul. You (can) understand these intents, because you have them within you as well.

Exactly. The only thing I can do is feel, and have my feelings displayed by God for others. Our feelings are the light of our soul.
Luke 8:16 "No one lights a lamp and hides it in a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he puts it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light."

Belief in the supernatural may be a sign the the person cannot accept the world as it is.

 

Belief in the supernatural is a sign that a person accepts the world as it is.

 

in my life, i have never seen anything supernatural happen. if you accepted the world as it is youd see nothing supernatural. seeing the world as youd like it to be is supernatural
