    Questions for Atheists and Agnostics

    I mean it's going to be quite difficult for the flea from the flea dimension, to prove the dog? But it would be a silly little flea to assert itself as the most intelligent species in the entire universe, based on its flea knowledge? Lol?

    Thank you! That's all I wanted to hear. Provided you mean what you say.

    Questions for Atheists and Agnostics

    Sorry but it's back to the point that where science started out rightly and correctly refusing to allow 'theism' to influence research, and especially the questions allowed to be asked -- it has now begun to actively and militancy campaign against 'theism'. Imo. So if you have an idea, someone...

    Questions for Atheists and Agnostics

    Is it fantastical for the flea to think there might be a dog? Even though all it can work with is a lot of (hair) trees obscuring the reality of the forest and of what the forest grows from, etc?

    Questions for Atheists and Agnostics

    Like a flea on a dog's back demanding logical proof from the dog, you mean? Like the dog cares? EDIT: http://biblehub.com/kjv/psalms/18.htm Read Verses 25-30.

    Questions for Atheists and Agnostics

    How do you know that? How do you know a person's life or destiny? In fact I don't believe you will find a single person to whose sincere and humble prayer there was no response from the divine. God may bring courage, strength in time of trouble. Mother Mary comes to me, there will be an answer...

    Questions for Atheists and Agnostics

    It could have been. It's possible to throw sixes six times on a dice. It might happen six times in a row, six days running. So that's the point: THERE CAN'T BE PHYSICAL proof. I hope you never find yourself in the desperate position of having to appeal from the depth of soul to this God you...

    Questions for Atheists and Agnostics

    The Holy Spirit is not going to dance to prove (himself) to satisfy anyone's idle curiosity, though. There are spiritual laws, as there are natural laws.

    Questions for Atheists and Agnostics

    When crisis comes enough that a person finally cries from the depth of soul to God as the only remaining possibility of help, then God will either come, or not. God will come. I guarantee. Any time, any place, any faith or non-faith. The aid may not be what's expected. The event may stay, but...

    Of course! Thank you! And is that so hard for people to understand? Unless they deliberately don't want to understand, lol

    So Much for Promises

    Matthew 24:3 Later, Jesus was sitting at a place on the Mount of Olives. The followers came to be alone with him. They said, (1)“Tell us when these things will happen. (Destruction of the temple.) Happened AD66 (2) And what will happen to prepare us for your coming and the end of time?”...

    So Much for Promises

    He didn't dictate to the press either. People heard him and later wrote down what he said. Those powerful words and parables that have lasted down centuries of years. Best wishes

    So Much for Promises

    The gospels are also history. Jesus said a lot of strange things. The destruction of the temple and the end-of-the-world issues have got jumbled together. I found this Matthew 24 conundrum years ago and sorted it out over a day or two research in a monastery library. Because it's important to...

    So Much for Promises

    The destruction of the temple in Jerusalem by Titus. Christ seems to have predicted that the apostle John would not die. There are other references to that. Separate events. The end-of-the-world and the destruction of the Jews and the Temple in year 66. Not difficult.

    So Much for Promises

    In Matthew 24:3 the disciples ask him two sepaeate questions: 1) Tell us about these events 2) AND about the end of the world. Two different things. 1)The destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple, and 2) the end-of-the-world. Christ knew that. His listeners did not. The two events got mixed up...

    So Much for Promises

    Verses one and two Matthew 24:1-2 refer to the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem, by Rome, that did in fact happen in the year 66. Whole most of those who heard Jesus speak were indeed still living. It was a terrible time. Read Josephus Jewish War. Verses thereafter are tangled up with...
