Quote by RubyDrg0nMaybe so, I am just writing this in the opinion of the world, freedom is only restricted to a person's mind, in actual fact, nothing is binding us, however we want to be intwined in the world...
so.. same as you say... why do he have to follow your ideal? i suggest this give you no right to say that this is a free world in the sense you are trying to tell me...
my free world is to know and know naught of consequences where death is chosen by one with factors of coincidence following it... so the choice is yours, to change or to continue having these bad images about you...

What makes you think you speak for the world? Am I not a part of it? I too am part of the world you speak of, and your words hold no more weight than mine in this sense.

If it is your ideal to know nothing, and to believe in nothing, and to be purposely ignorant of any possibilities of life after death - then so be it. I never did demand that others follow my ideals, unlike what you imply. I've always said that with choice comes responsibility.

Quote by RubyDrg0n
And about the power words, knowledge is a powerful things, knowing something can change your mind systems and how it works.
For example, if you are drinking in a restaurant having a chat with a friend and someone sat beside you.
He is a muslim but wearing plain clothes, wearing no signs in anyway showing he is a muslim...

1. if you do not know this, how would you feel?
2. if you do know this, how would you feel?

I don't know what you're implying, but I have nothing against Muslims.

so Persocom01, knowledge binds us in certain ways...so i can say that you will be RESTRICTED by the words, and the choice is yours to how to deal with it...
As to you being radical evangelical Christian or not, I don't have any information regarding your behaviour except that you are very stubborn in your ideas and do not like to be indifferent but in your own ways..so ciao, may you be enlightened of how this world works

It is the freedom of a Christian not to be bound by what others think of us. I don't need to be, and indeed shouldn't be bound by knowledge of what others think of me. What prisoner, after being released from his cell, goes back to it?

"Christ has freed us so that we may enjoy the benefits of freedom. Therefore, be firm in this freedom, and don't become slaves again." - Galatians 5:1

I, by my allegiance to Christ am a slave of no one and nothing of this world, be it the law or knowledge or whatsoever fears you still possess. You who are of the world and indeed "knows how the world works", a slave to sin and death does not understand the power and freedom of Christianity.

"The standards of the Spirit, who gives life through Christ Jesus, have set you free from the standards of sin and death." - Romans 8:2

btw... better learn your religion properly, I don't want meaningless debates

It is written:

"Have you met a person who thinks he is wise? There is more hope for a fool than for him." - Proverbs 26:12

From what you have said I can see that you obviously do not know enough about my religion, yet have you set yourself up as an authority on it before. I have said before and I will say again, if you think yourself wise, you indeed are a fool.

Hello i wanted to stop by and say i thought you latest thread was interesting. And it had an interesting theory though i disagree with it, my compliments on the idea.

Also i see you try to debate persecom1, don't, hes a radical evagelical christian( no offense) so he literally belive that the human thumb is proof of gods existance, so when debating him don't expext to get a logical or " fair" argument. But again good thread(If God is smart.).

RubyDrgOn,

Sorry to post here but I came across this quote of yours and was shocked:

Quote by RubyDrgOn
...i know you be surprised at wat i have say here but i am Christian...i think it important to help ppl think of how they belief...i am a missionary for Christ in Malaysia...most ppl don't know that...makes it fun...

WHAT!? Are you kidding me? You best be careful friend if you are in fact a Christian missionary because most, if not all, of your posts do not confirm Christ - I believe that is a huge mistake since this world is fallen anyway - doesn't need more help. If anything, it needs us to stand up and speak out.

Hi Rubydrag0n! I saw one of your posts asking if God was the creator who created God, and who created that god, etc. That was something I didn't understand a few years ago, too. The answer is fairly obvious.

1. God is so powerful that it created itself. This position is meaningless as humans cannot conceive of it because it is illogical, thus stupid.
2. God has just existed forever. Sound logic, sort of.
3. God doesn't exist. Sound logic.

Now you might be disagreeing with me by now, but I could say that matter doesn't exist because it would have had to been created. This is impossible, thus something can exist for an infinite time. We honestly don't know enough to say if matter has always existed or if God created matter, but the "God must have a creator" idea is flawed. I hope this helps.

Quote by RubyDrg0nbut if you do so.... it will stop the progress of your religion as well....

To truly understand your religion is to understand its advantage and disadvantage... so learn everything....good or bad... right or wrong about it... that is how ppl should believe in their religion.... if any ppl have any negative comments... think about it.... put some thoughts into it and understand why.... go through all the basis of the religion and human thoughts (dont try to use religion to answer everything coz it is only a moral thing)---> this part is about overcoming it by yourself, not running to God without really overcoming it...... only go ask God for help when you really needs it....

also one more thing... you should still be searching for the Eden of thoughts....(Eden here is symbolic... but it sound nice...)... dont stop on your religion but try others as well... its not about joining but about understanding...

*reminder: dont use your religion as a guide for everything because it is for morality only!

so when you truly understand all ... you can truly choose your believe and wat you think is right....

if one finds something wrong with one's religion, should not one stop following it? but i agree with how one should ponder and understand negative comments on one's religion, the reasoning why the person said it and whether it is actually true or not. i must say God is not there just to help you when you really need it, at least not in Christianity. He wants a steady one-on-one relationship with everyone. He is just like any other friend in that He wants to share everything with us, not just pain and suffering but also adventures and joy.
do you mean by saying running to God without really overcoming, that whenever someone helps you, you are not really doing anything? in that case, no one has accomplished anything is the history of anything.
also, religion may be merely a moral thing, but Christianity is not merely a religion. it is a way of life; it was meant to change a person completely, everything from thoughts to words to actions.
"Eden of thoughts" does have a nice ring to it though

Quote by RubyDrg0naraszun: can you pls prove tat? pls dont disapprove me for no reasons... i have my own reasons to write that up.... and it is not simply "just saying"....so pls....:)

alexjohnc3: you seems very bias for your religion.... even if i am "intelligent"(judge me whether i am) non-believer... i would believe Buddhism more than Christianity.... i wouldnt "worship" a god even if he/she/it created me, who cant even help us rite..(look at the world....)... if he really wanna help us.... through Christianity.... we should all be born and become Christians... but we are not.... why? coz "evil" is too powerful for him to control properly?

sry for all artheist or non-believers or intellects out there... i use "evil" just to argue in their language.....

just curious but what about Buddhism draws you?
ok, it is not that God cannot help us, it is because God chooses not it, not because He is evil but because people learn much much more from difficult experience than constant happiness. example: in general, when parents shelter their children and give them whatever they want, the children become spoiled. if God did that all His followers would be spoiled. God purposely allows Satan to tempt us and test us, but only within the limits of our strength. if it is not, He is just waiting for us to turn and ask Him and He will support us and help us through the difficulties. also, the "evils" of the world give us all, whether Christian or atheist or Buddhist or Muslim or whatever you are, to put our kindness to the test. how willing are you to help someone if he or she is infected with the most contagious disease? how willing are you to help someone if he or she is a murderer? how willing are you to help someone if he or she is a prostitute? how willing are you to help someone if he or she is the manifestation, the embodiment, the epitome of what you hate the most? if one is truely the follower of Christianity then one would do one's utmost best to help that person.
sorry if i sound kind of mean, i am just sort of tired of hearing that same argument over and over. my apologies.
