If you want to go in that direction then let's go there. What is the difference between your journals by definition you have given, which document papers that have passed peer review... ...And the origional documented papers, written by the apostles, documents taken from the Cannons of the Kings, documents recording the words of the prophets of God, which have passed peer review and were compiled into a book which is now called the "Holy Bible". There is much more documentation than what is contained in this book. Peers only chose to insert some of them. What about the books of Thomas, the Apocrapha and so many others? Even the recently found Dead Sea Scrolls, which are transcriptions of testimony.
If your documents are your proof for non-existant God, and the Bible and other books are other's proof for God's existance, how can either writing be true? How are they measured one against the other? A measurement from the minds of men which are subject to change or the scales can be tipped from side to side. It can not be weighted to the burden of Proof. It can only be judged by the preponderance of the evidence which would mean, WHO IS THE MOST BELIEVABLE? It is for each individual to decide.
The paper documents prove nothing. You can not measure the invisible or the Supernatural. You do not know this realm. We are dealing with another realm here, another consciousness.
You are a perfect example of what I wrote about. I had no idea of your belief system. I will be honest and say that maybe as far back as December, I remember seeing you in the forums, perhaps the political ones?? I know I did not like you. Never really gave you a second look I should say. Now today, I find out more of who you are by reading what you have posted. Today, I say, He's an alright guy, I may want to talk with him further.
I admire Jesus for the sharing we can do in the forums on CS, where He is revealed through others on the threads!
How can YOU speak the answer for the believers? Your answer is discredited. Also, your percentage is way off. There are more unbelievers here than believers. Or maybe the unbelievers are keeping the believers in hiding?
We are told by Jesus to not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. A yoke binds two together as one, as in a marriage. Couldn't you just imagine the division in a household if someone like myself were yoked together with someone like crotalus? Or trish123 with mikeHD? These threads are important in making decisions of whom we will have for a life long partner. Sometimes, I will see what someone shares on a thread and think, hey, I want to know that person.
I admire Jesus for giving me the ability to unconditionally love others who are not like me and even those who hate Him or do not believe in Him!
If Religion, Spirituality and Philosophy do not interest you (plural), then why read the threads? They are here for those of us who have interest in them. Yes, we like to share and encourage one another. It is always great to meet a kindred spirit. We are not here to convert anyone and just as the title of this thread asks us, What do we admire about the Lord Jesus Christ, we want to share our answers. It is encouraging and uplifting for us. It is a question for those who believe, not unbelievers.
Yes Robbie, it is very suitable to go on a dating site and discuss these things. I would not begin a relationship which was not founded on Christ. Perhaps if the unbelievers would leave us alone as we discuss our beliefs, possibly potiential mates may have the guts to post in the forums without fear of being personally attacked, where we may be able to meet someone with the same belief system. We could be being robbed of meeting that special someone because of all the strife that goes on in the Religious threads. It is really unfair to us.
I admire Jesus for bringing kindred spirits into my life and I want to meet some more of them!!!
Crottie, You are asking for finite evidence of something which is invisable and occurs within a man. It takes place on the inside. It is a heart issue, a mind issue, an issue of the soul. Only those who have gone through the experience can share in their own way to you what it is like. But you can not see within a mans heart to prove what is taking place inside of him. Nor do you know a man's mind to see the changes which take place there. There is a very real presence which can not been seen, but definitly is felt throughout your entire being. It can not be denied by those who experience it. They know it is real. No way to prove it to you. That is why it is received by faith, believing in things which are not seen, yet hoped for. And then given to each, through Grace, which is surely undeserved. It's about living in the presence of a Supernatural being or entity. The intersection of 2 planes (not airplanes)if you can fathom that.
CS rule #18 Topics of threads must be clearly stated in titles. All posts within that thread must address the topic described in the title. You may discuss a dislike for a forum topic. You may NOT discuss your dislike for a forum poster or make fun of them for posting it.
But not only was He admirable for His Obedience to the Father in carrying out His mission, but it was the purpose in His doing so that I admire most...
He did it so that himself, the Father and the Holy Spirit could come and live INSIDE of ALL who would BELIEVE and be ONE with us! The same POWER that raised Christ from the dead, lives in and is at work within every believer. What began in the book of Acts at Pentecost, is still ongoing today. It is life changing.
No words in a book can do this in you, only seeking the presence of the Almighty! A true treasure to behold! He is pure love.
Yes, I admire Him most for filling me with Himself to overflowing with the presence of Pure Love!
If I were a convicted felon, I would not even be allowed to vote!!! How can a felon be allowed to run for office??? Something is REALLY screwed up in this area.
Why are there not laws against this?
What happened to Honesty and Integrity for our representatives? They are supposed to lead by example. They should be mentors for us.
Hey, maybe the person has not checked profiles in your area and does not know that you exist. It does not hurt to send a flower. Even to make a new friend. You would not want a relationship with someone you could not be a friend with. It takes time to know someone. Send that flower... You never know what it may bring to you in return.
Tranquility and occupation... Occupy a place of Peace. Being happy right where you are, where ever you are. That means you have Peace which has taken residence within you... Occupied! Yeppers... that would be it. That's how I see it and I am OCCUPIED!!!
That is cool don. Yes, I realize that now. I knew that many of the towns had Indian names, but did not know they were names of Tribes! See... We learn something new every day!!
Oh yes, it's a lovely day, sunshine, but very windy out and 66 degrees now. The wind shall dry the ground some from all of the rain we have had this week. Making the soil nice for plowing and planting!
RE: The Big Bang Theory.....is wrong
That's a lot of information ooby and thanks!So what would be your conclusion?
Science has not proved the BBT? You say it is flawed.
Okay, I will accept that.
