my point was that pandemics are actually good things, even if not pleasant in the moment; over-dramatizing them to the point of shutting down the whole economy (rather than sequestering the at-risk) tho? An extremely dangerous precedent has now been set imo

@Flowerwall hey, imo if you are sick, bam go to doctors, but nonetheless "dead doctors don't lie," meaning, briefly, that them guys at JH will not live as long as we will. Doctors are retards where health is concerned, and many of them will admit that. They are allopaths, symptom treaters; ezackly what ppl want, and pay for i guess. Ppl want a magic pill to cure them of their self inflicted ills, mostly
So, imo if you get "sick" goto JH, but if you want to avoid getting "sick," get off the SAD and eat some effing garlic already lol

Very few realize that Chrianities are in fact a mystery religion. I get much criticism for pointing that out. In truth if one studies mystery religions specifically it becomes very appearant. Not traces but mounds of evidence are presented in the New Testiment. This is not good or bad, it is simply ...

that is contemplated in the story of Esau, the guy who needed *red stew* or he would "die." Also a likely reasoning for *God, why have you forsaken Me?*

wadr that is bc *wisdom is hidden from the wise,* as the Bible makes very plain that there are no "mysteries" too; *No one has ever gone up to heaven, No son of man may die for another's sins, All go to the same place,* etc. iow there is no reason to accept "believer's" conclusions about the Bible

@TheMiddleWay ok, for this i am wondering in what situation irl i would be wanting to distinguish the natural from the supernatural anyway, aside from some purely "intellectual" pursuit? And i bet that would quickly reveal that no "test" for that is practically possible...as you are saying, and tbh i would wonder to what end anyway?
"one can always *imagine* a scientific reason for the supernat..."
well, so you say, but any imagination there would be a "theory" right, and that theory would be subject to review? And fwiw again what is the end there? To reliably reproduce the miracle or determine if ones beliefs are valid or not? Bc i dunno about the second, idrc about the next guy's beliefs, and there is no judgement in the Bible for beliefs, only actions/works.
Call yourself a satan worshipper for all i care, and im pretty sure for all Yah cares too. If you're doing the righht thing then so what
anyway, those imaginings have more or less created the theories we have today, right; and i guess most scientists will tell you that resolving a theory generally just creates lots more questions? Like as if we were to discover that all ufos come from Vorbojulon Prime, some impossibly gorpy distance away, other side of the known universe, i mean...kinda...like woo-hoo? Sorta? You learned another fact?
Wouldnt most of the As to the deeper Qs we have be functionally meaningless to us anyway?

@TheMiddleWay with all due respect "satan's dialectic" does not necessarily suppose an actual satan; that is just what it is called by some? The hegelian or logical or socratic then

"@bbyrd009
"You might note that you cannot Quote “God exists.”"
Sure I can. First line
"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." - Genesis 1:1"
so then yes, in the hegelian dialectic Yah exists; in the Naive dialectic, Scripture agrees with reality. I think so that hypocrites might be more easily revealed? Or i mean ppl who use the Bible for their own ends, i guess we are all prolly hypocrites
-------------------------
"For anyone to create something, they must exist."
ah well i dont think there are any "persons" in Yah either, no old white guy with a long white beard imo, *Yah is Spirit,* so i have issues there on two counts i guess. And fwiw the same argument can be applied to the Big Bang ("theory"), yes? Yet we have no objective evidence of either one, right?
Unless you are willing to consider the order that comes out of an otherwise entropic existence? How does order come from entropy iow? I find that the most...theologically compelling, as Big Bangs are not doing that
"And if the bible TRULY puts for the idea that god didn't exist, then who is this "God" that created the heavens and the earth that is not god?"
again it seems our disagreement is chiefly over whether things that are real must "exist" or not, iow have objectively verifiable existence, which fwiw is the classic hegelian dialectic; A or notA, no middle ground, etc, logical reasoning.
You fam with Dao stories at all? "perhaps, we'll see, maybe, so you say?"

@TheMiddleWay well wadr that is in code so to speak, as we speak in a diff dialect from the one Scripture was written in. However, Moses could not "see" Yah, but only His effect, so to speak? Also in the story of Jacob "wrestling" with an angel, but in many other passages as well. Really the most substantial evidence might be that our scribes have written Yah's "existence" in there, in that last v i Quoted, if you note how that disappears in the original? Also Yah is said to be the "Creator of everything that exists," but Yah "was not created," ergo "does not exist."
but i am detecting now that you are maybe a Christian believer? To which i say you might believe that Yah "exists" if you like, doesnt matter to me ok. You might believe you are going up to heaven after you have died, despite plain Scripture, or that you might become an immortal and live forever, despite very plain Scripture, etc.
No judgement for beliefs anywhere that i can find :)

@TheMiddleWay then you might Quote the vv that suggest evidence for Yah's "existence" i guess, pls note that it is not in here https://biblehub.com/lexicon/hebrews/11-6.htm except in English, disappears in the original. But i suggest that our disagreement is mostly over the term "exists," which you maybe think is necessary for something to be "real?"
fwiw even the term "God" is...extremely generic, and although most of the Names of Yah have been xlated "God" into English by our scribes, this is a terrible xlation, as is "Lord," an English Landholder, after all.
but really bottom line is you have no "objective evidence" for Yah, right, only something must "exist" for it to be "real" to us?
So iow our training from the cradle to accept satan's dialectic (hegelian, logical, whatever; A=A, something is either A or not A, no middle path) over the naive or eastern dialectic, which is just after all a diff way to reason, the way *little kids* reason, in fact.

@Techpriest technically (ha, little joke there) Bronze Age, im pretty sure, and i know this might be hard to accept at first but the Yah of the Bible is nothing like xtian "believers" make Him out to be, *No Son of Man may die for another's sins; the soul that sins will die* and *I desire mercy, not sacrifice* among many others, so while im not real sure how "this" is defined in your post, it basically cannot be "the Bible." The NT is basically a record of the implosion of a Theocracy? "Believers" are called *twice the sons of hell you are* with *seven worse spirits* ? *True worship* is defined as *helping widows, orphans, and strangers* ? So, ya. *Your gatherings do more harm than good* lol, on and on

hell is the addition of Norse/Angle scribes, translating our Bibles for us. They werent meaning to be dedeptive, surely, but just had no better analogy for the Bible's *Gehenna*, which is after all on earth, ok? "Ragnarok" was the only analogy they had, i guess. So *poof* just like that *Gehenna* on earth became "hell" for us, more or less. i think.

yeh, believe it or not pulping a lemon every morning and choking it down will pretty much eradicate any cancer i guess, which cannot survive in an alkaline environment. How an acidic lemon produces an alkaline response i never quite got lol, but i suggested this to a prostate cancer sufferer and he even stopped his chemo! I could even get ahold of him for an update i guess
I have 4th stage prostate cancer so I will dies soon.

Ppl even sold themselves into slavery, for other reasons besides debt. Really we are having the same argument as those who object to "an eye for an eye," when these are meant to limit retribution, and protect slaves. "Outlawing slavery" simply wouldnt have been practical prolly. It does say *you reap what you sow* right, pretty zen.

@Grahame well, fwiw (nothing) i suggest that that is mostly bc the Bible contains a story that few ppl ever read, about the best way to live a life, and not about religion at all, wadr. After all, it is a story about the *failure* of a Theocracy? And isnt "baptising ppl in the Jordan" *sedition* in a Theocracy? So i suggest that there is a story in there that would maybe blow your mind, too, ok. I could go on..."messiah, king of kings, saviour, lord of lords," these are all titles of Pharaohs and Caesars.
