Do you believe in God?

[GBO Possum]

Imari, when you die one day don't be sorry. God is real I experienced several times.

You have evidence of your experience which you'd like to share with us? Actual evidence which is corroborated?

 

[rickykaka3]

Do you believe that some gods exist? Or that there is one god that exists? Or that no gods exist?

There are no gods or someone superior to human race. Don't rely on god for your problems.

Um...I'm pretty sure @TenEightyOne is without belief already, no reason to be a cleric. Also how do you know there isn't something superior to the human race?

 

[mistersafeway]

The people that don't believe in a god or Jesus are obviously going to hell. Without jesus dying on the cross for us, we will all be going to hell no matter how good we are. And if there's no god why do some people come back as a spirt and goes into your dream and tell you that there okay? GOD is 100% real and he's around us 24/7. Yes bring all the hate to me because I don't care what y'all say about that god isn't real because you going to hell. I have freedom of speech to say whatever I want. Why you think there's natural disasters all over the world today? Because god is giving a hint that's he's coming one day.

Your freedom of speech on this site is dictated by the AUP, not the US constitution, make sure you understand that before going any further (not saying you've crossed a line, if you had I'd have reported your post and not replied to you).

Saying that, I'm entitled to my opinion too, which is like @Imari's, in that I think a God wouldn't give a flying 🤬 what I believe in, just that I am/try to be a good person. I also like to think there'd be a special place in Hell for those who threaten non-believers with what is essentially torture when "His word" is that He judges the sinners, which would include whether they actually are.

Out of curiosity, does The Bible unambiguously state non-belief as a sin alongside worshipping "false Gods"? I'd prefer a rational person (on either side) to be the one who answers that, preferably with a source. 👍

Not in that sense, there are thousands of alien races out there in the universe and probably they have technology way superior to us. I was referring that there can't be a super man... sorry my english is not so good

freedom of speech always exist in many (if not all) countries of this world, not only in usa...

How the heck do you know that as well (talking about the alien races)? Why would a god or gods need to be super men or look anything like man?

Also it's fine I'm use to talking to people on here that don't speak/type English as their first language at least you're trying.

I know, but the person I quoted is in the US and used an expression an American would use just before getting banned for posting something that is constitutionally valid, but smashes the AUP to tiny pieces. This site is based in the US, but is entirely private including the rules, therefore "I have freedom of speech to say whatever I want" is not the free pass that JDmsz seems to think.

Edit: I hope this isn't seen as mini modding, I didn't threaten anything, so...

I'm 99% sure that we are not alone in the universe, too many documents and things i read.

You are right obviously, in a forum you need to follow the rules or you are out, you said nothing wrong

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

That wasn't what I said, since I believe and read and own plenty on the subject. However, saying a number isn't safe so how are you so sure there are thousands? And of those thousands many of them have superior knowledge and technology to us just how can you be so sure?

 

[mustafur]

I Believe in god but not in how a religion would, the term god to me is the mind and its ability when harnessed properly for anything to happen.

Everything man made in this planet has been imagned from.the mind at some point and has translated to its physical component.

Einstien himself believes in this and has many quotes on what its about, think of the movie The Secret which is a basic understanding of this.

 

[TenEightyOne]

Can you explain more? From the mind of a god? Or we imagine everything that we think exists?

Show us yer quotes love

 

[mustafur]

No, God isn't a being from what I believe, god is simply another term for the mind.


God is simply a name given to the mind.
I believe humans have misinterprated this from the bible and all the other books from the major religions to some being of order to control others, it is human nature to get power and they ruined a simple message and made it into something that serves themselves.


Think of einstiens best quote:
Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.

Albert Einstein

A simpler way to explain it would be, imagenation is god because it can create anything, if you have atmost faith that what you are imagening is real, it will find a way to create it self in physical form.

 

[TenEightyOne]

I think I understand up until this point;

If you say we can make the things that we imagine into real things... then we must live in the imaginary world? But then our world would be one of all kinds of physical impossibility, wouldn't it?

 

[MatskiMonk]

If you say we can make the things that we imagine into real things... then we must live in the imaginary world? But then our world would be one of all kinds of physical impossibility, wouldn't it?

To a point the world we live in is shaped by other peoples imaginations. Some lucky few even get to shape it themselves.

 

[mustafur]

I think I understand up until this point;



If you say we can make the things that we imagine into real things... then we must live in the imaginary world? But then our world would be one of all kinds of physical impossibility, wouldn't it?

There are two sides, the imagined and physical but both are real, it's until they are aligned that they can be in both.

The more far fetched something is in the imagination the harder to the point of impossibility it is to convince yourself it can be in the physical.

But advancements such as cars, planes, computers, Internet even Facebook for example all came from imagination and have a period of transition before it was aligned into both sides.

We are taught everything in the Physical is real and everything else is just mind games or what not but only focusing on the physical would be to only focus on what has already been imagned(see Einstiens quote as my point).

To a point the world we live in is shaped by other peoples imaginations. Some lucky few even get to shape it themselves.

Very much so, but the last sentence I would dispute.

Everyone on the planet has equal ability to shape the world, only few people actually use the power to do it.

But the bibles are man-written and sometimes mis-translated (or mis-construed in translation).

Does it make you suspicious that an apparently important rule-of-belief says that the belief is inexplicable. You're told that in the very book that says your belief is true, right?

That's a genuine question, how do you reconcile that statement?

Jesus did not contribute any written material to the Bible. If Jesus didn't write his teachings and then preach it, but physically showed good works, then it is clearly pointed out to all believers to show that we are people that do good deeds, and do not study books as the be all end all.

And I'm not going to mention what I saw because all you atheist people going to say its a bunch of BS. I know what I experienced and I'm going to keep it like that. Its always this, "oh I need proof" The proof will come when you pass away and get judged. I'm not trying to force religion on people. I'm just trying to tell people there's really a god but I can't explain it.

 

[DQuaN]

If he died, how is he giving an interview?

 

[orimarc]

So he had a Near Death Experience? I think we've discussed this before...and here it is:

There is a growing body of literature on interesting "near death experiences", or NDE's, which suggest the phenomenon is universal across the world's races and religions, with even little children having them. So if this is a clue, it's likely whatever happens to you after death doesn't depend on a belief in a particular god. On the other hand, the quality of how you treat other people in this life might actually make a difference in the next, according to a fraction of the reports.

NDEs aren't evidence of an afterlife. They're evidence of neurochemistry during high stress incidents - and can and have been replicated in control conditions.

Which only means that, for the large part, most people who are not brain-compromised can probably experience an NDE - not that they'll experience a shared afterlife. I guess the brain damaged offend God or something.

All we have on the one hand are the reports of those who've been to the vestibule, antechamber or parlour room of death - the NDE state - and returned. And on the other hand we have the

exact same reports in control conditions with no actual risk of death.

I've read a number of books on NDE's, consciousness and induced hallucinatory states with drugs or electromagnetic stimulation (Persinger et al). But I'm not current on either the latest NDE studies or the study to which you refer. A link to the pdf of the paper to which you refer above would be appreciated.

It's not very current - it involved spinning down people in a centrifuge in the 60s.

I can't explain why I prefer strawberry Pop-Tarts over blueberry. Guess it must be god, right?

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.

That's the problem with people who claim to have seen god... they refuse to elaborate on it for a variety of reasons.

So then why was it so easy for him to explain that there was a clear conclusion that it was hell? If YOU are confused, then how can you willingly believe this man?
2 Peter 1:20 says ' Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.' Do not believe anything without searching the scriptures first. Also, you claim that judgement is awaiting us at the end. True, but you just contradicted yourself by implying judgement on atheists by posting that video.

Who are all these atheist you speak of? And using a cop out when you were the one that posted here to begin with isn't how you enter a conversation. Especially one where you dictate and judge what happens to people because they don't agree with you. So either you're trolling to have a good old time, or your just being rude when there are other theist that act with proper respect.

I called you out and I'm not an atheist.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. There's no need to elaborate what I saw I can't explain it. But I know what I saw period. Not going to continue aruguing with people no faith in Lord Jesus. God bless your souls...

Why bless us you've already told us where we're going, you saying that out of spite or kindness isn't going to help us as you claimed earlier.

Which is a bit ironic considering your name is taken from one of the most devout Christian athletes on the planet.

This couldn't make any less sense. If you can't explain what you saw then you don't know what you saw. Using god as a placeholder, cop-out answer isn't going to help you understand it any better.
