@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

You can always rely and depend on a good dog. So there is hope after all. Plus they can make you laugh, relax you when you pet them beside you on the couch, listen without comment and deter criminals-depending on the breed. Just re arrange god and you can take pleasure in dog.

Are you sure it's not in an academic way? In other words, nobody would argue that religion exists, or that the concept of "God" exists, so they can be discussed objectively. I can't imagine that a secular broadcast would acknowledge the absolute existence of a particular religion.

i do notice "eternal" being conflated with "forever" quite a bit; all the time, actually. Like, not a day goes by hardly?

@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.

@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.

The concept of justice per many Christian evangelicals is also convoluted. Access to heaven requires the professing and acceptance of Jesus as your personal saviour and you're in.

@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.

So, i found that by searching "lemon alk..." which autocompleted for a list you might pick from, the basic theory being that lemons metabolize into alkiline metabolites, and the pretty much fact i guess being that cancer is always in acidic bodies. Not quite sure what the dispute is, Bills prostate cancer was an earlier stage, but its just something we heard and he tried and some important number that he was watching went from like 700 to 70 overnight. pulp the whole thing and add some honey to get it down, strain it if you have to but i wouldnt, as i think the chemicals on the outside of the peel help too?

Quite a few people with stage 4 cancer recover. Michael Milken was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in 1993, and he's still alive. Martha Argerich was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma in 1995; the doctor who treated her, Donald Morton, died 6 years ago, but Ms. Argerich is still alive. I ...

@doug6352 https://www.inclinedental.com/lemon-juice-good-bad-sour/ for alkalinizing, apparently more controversial than i realized, hmm. So, i found that by searching "lemon alk..." which autocompleted for a list you might pick from, the basic theory being that lemons metabolize into alkiline metabolites, and the pretty much fact i guess being that cancer is always in acidic bodies. Not quite sure what the dispute is, Bills prostate cancer was an earlier stage, but its just something we heard and he tried and some important number that he was watching went from like 700 to 70 overnight. pulp the whole thing and add some honey to get it down, strain it if you have to but i wouldnt, as i think the chemicals on the outside of the peel help too?

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

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.

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.
