    being vs not

    In questioning the nature of being why are y'all stuck on present perceptions? Don't you think the very nature of consciousness would be fundamentally different from our present one?

    being vs not

    Being or Non-being... Hmm, is that the question? Here's my take... I AM THAT I AM! Big Bang or still small voice the proof isn't always in the pudding pop! Real chocolate may be used but some prefer the artificial substitute taste. You can take the boy out of the ghetto but whose gonna...

    "I AM"... God? Original Being? A Realization of Being? Big Bang?

    Well... I just took a run all over the place there with the whole going to space thing. Somewhere along the line I heard someone teach that a prophecy about the enemy of the God of Moses to ascend his throne to the uttermost parts of the north... north meaning space. Humans thrive in hells...

    "I AM"... God? Original Being? A Realization of Being? Big Bang?

    The cats dead, OK? We left him in the box too long. Was the universe big bang a realization of being I AM? Is it possible the messages of prophets and saviors are so misinterpreted as to have lost the source of original power? Are we beyond repair as humans who dare to ask, "Who am I?" I...

    Does God want us to think?

    Sorry it took so long to get back to this one... not sure if I could answer to anyone’s satisfaction but me own. Lately I've been studying rational emotive behavior therapy REBT on my own. Then I read a Christian critique on Albert Ellis, the psychologist who came up with REBT and REBT itself...

    Does God want us to think?

    I think it can be assumed that a lot more conversation went on than related in the story... but I suppose you're looking for a more literalistview so I'll shut up now.

    Does God want us to think?

    Well... I think the message was for us to ask God for what we wanted to know rather than looking for a quick answer. I believe the story is a type of early man on earth where humans communed much closer with eachother and our common Creator in such a way that it really wasn't needed to go run...

    Questions about the big bang

    Within our being is the realization of possible non-being. We observe ourselves and the expanse of the universe in which we live in an instant now awareness but we cannot see all of the one or all of the infinite or eternal. So time and space become challenges of our observation of our own...

    "MISSISSIPPI: 46% Of Polled Republicans Would Make Interracial Marriage Illegal"

    I'll give you that... it was a telephone poll and if you target certain area's you can get expected results. I've met many non-racist Republicans... it's does look like a case of targeting extremist. I wonder what a wider poll would come up with.

    "MISSISSIPPI: 46% Of Polled Republicans Would Make Interracial Marriage Illegal"

    The poll does seem to be all over the net 46 Percent of Mississippi Republicans Want Interracial Marriage Banned I'm not really suprised... it's sad but I feel the poll is most likely valid and shows how far we have to go....

    do you beleave in judgement day?

    I kinda feel like judgement day is everyday that I judge myself by what I believe I know about what our Creator wants of me. I feel like everytime I think of something good to do and don't do it is as bad as when I do something bad to someone else. My heart tells me that death will come after...

    Where is Heaven?

    I believe Heaven is the possesion of those who are poor in spirit and persecuted for their righteousness/goodness according to the beatitudes in Christ Sermon on the Mount. Jesus also says the Kingdom of Heaven is within... So I believe that Heaven is on earth and is in the hearts of those...
