If a person wishes to become a christian, those four words are the first step. It sets the premise for what follows.

I was witnessing yesterday and knocked on a young white person's door and asked him about the bible. He said that he believed parts of it. He is much like many christians today. They choose which parts they what to believe. Like the prosperity message, and God certainly wants us to prosper. But prosperity is not a prerequisite for a body being saved. it certainly is a benefit that some enjoy but there also are criminals who have oodles of money, so dastardly ceos and other unscrupelous people who get money in ways that are not blessed by God.

In the beginning God....

By the same reasoning, we have to conclude that the "Gods" (Elohim) of the Bible didn't really create the Universe as it was already there. Reading further in the first chapter of Genesis, it reveals that the spirit of this God hovered over the waters before erecting the heavens and separating bodies of land. It says nothing about it creating the conditions conducive to water being on the planet, let alone mentioning the creation of the actual planet itself. Since this was the "beginning" for your gods, then it/they had to have been created at some point as well. This invariably means the Biblical/Abrahamic God isn't much of a "God" in the sense of omniscience and omnipotence. Whatever created it/they would certainly be greater than Jehovah/Elohim/Adonai(Aten).


If we were real citizens, then there would be no need for "Civil Rights". There are already enough laws on the law books to protect the rights of real citizens.

you are absolutely correct in much of what you say...

God is eternal, haivng no beginning and no ending...

just as i can not prove to you God's existance, you can neither disprove it. My spiritual life is based upon my analysis of what has been taught and witnessed to me. your's on the same or lack thereof.

one of us will eventually be proven right, one proven wrong...

i am well satisfied with my choices as you seem to also be with yours....

There seems to be no end to the arrogance and condescension of some Christians. My statements had no indications of atheist leanings, yet just because someone rejects the silly myths in the Bible they are labelled by your like as not believing in God's existence. If you knew where I came from, or my understanding of God from an Afrikan perspective, then you would realize how foolish you look making such assumptions. I KNOW that God exists. I am just demonstrating that whatever myths written in the Bible have little to do with the actuality of God.

shemsi i am not one to get into name calling but in your case it is almost impossible. you are arrogant and either a liar or can not comprehend what others write.

there was nothing by me that said any thing about atheism. I simply read your post said nothing about atheism or disagreement and simply said my peice as a matter of dialogue and communications between two people who have different thoughts on a matter.

i could but choose not to waste my time or yours trying to demostrate the myths of what you call religion.

what really blows me away and gives me a secure feeling of having all my faculties is how easy you and others like you talk about slavery and brainwashing and you are all the time spouting that unless we believe what you believe we are slaves and brainwashed...hahahhaha

boy you really are into drinking that "stupid juice" without regard for your mental health huh?

The fact here is your an idiot. Here are your words exactly in the post I responded to:
"just as i can not prove to you God's existance, you can neither disprove it."
Like I said...whenever someone points out the fallacies in the Bible, you Bible-thumpers always INITIATE the name-calling making nonbelievers out to be Godless or make other arrogant and condescending statements, implications, insinuations, and assumptions about our state of mind and spirituality and then have the audacity to expect us to sit and take it. If you can't stand the heat then get the phuck out the kitchen buddy...

oh so you are not arrogant....? take a poll...? heheheh

as for me calling you Godless, show me the post and i will apologize....although I will say that their is no God but Jehovah. So I guess that does make you godless...

call me a bible thumper what ever that means, yeah I love Jesus Christ who died for me...am not ashamed of it no....makes me a bible thumper so be it....

you have yet to disprove anything in the bible shemsi only dispute what it says...you are confused on creation and I am not...which of us is the stupid one hahahaha....?

hey man, live and let live.....you are a really big and smart man....i am a little no body...why you want to get all up in my face? if i was as uppidy as you i would look for someone who is big time to get some rep off of dude.

you have already called me studid, why bother me?

you don't like me very much, but in person you would....you try to be too hard on me and i don't take to kindly to being pushed by black or white.

i am not afraid to sit down at any dominoe table under the tree or in Angola, I will go to Hunter's Point this evening and talk to the brothers there. i can go anywhere you can go shemsi, but i doubt seriously if you could follow me. I love the bretheren shemsi. I look down my nose at no one, not even you.

you have the wrong man here son. i have friends who are more arrogant than you could ever practice being.

arrogance is just an uppidy word for a**hole you do know that don't you?

you would love me (as a brother) if you knew me....

peace and love in this house.....
