In the Day They Were Created

a reply to: Vector99

The mannerism of your query also implicates a bias and tone, so yes you can absolutely call me a brat in the form of a question, which you did, and now your god will judge you for judging others.

Please asking your silliness if you see what a brat that makes you and
then you whining about it? Makes brat the least of my OPINION of you.
Even if I were judging you, I'm sure that would be the least of my
worries.

Why would the Bible tell us what a day is and in the same chapter
use the word day to describe something else?

Well, back in the day, god also invented the 7 day week, 5 days of toil and labour and 2 days to mow the lawn, knowing that we needed a weekend in order to recover from a big friday night out. He just decided that a week would be just one day, and that kinda ruined the concept of the weekend, which sucked for the monkeys who threw rocks at each other and built houses to eat wafers and proselytise for a change.

He also toyed with the idea of the gregorian calendar, but gave up on it for about a thousand years or so. He thought that having 365 and a quarter days in a year would be confusing to primitive bipedal animals who were not allowed to contemplate zero or infinity, which were the sole domain of god hisself. And if they dared, they were drowned in the sea.

A bit weird, god is.

What am I whining about? Seriously what?

At least you have admitted to your god that you may have been judging me, so all is well.

If I had proof I'd be agreeing with you, but I don't so I'm not. As far as the brat thing

Be honest with yourself at least what you want is more proof than the rest
of us. What You want is put before your needs. Why would God cater to that?
You want something that just isn't going to happen for sure for your own spoiled
reasons. I seriously doubt you would ever agree. You'd just be off to the next way
of fulfilling your hate. You certainly aren't looking for that evidence here are you?
If you were truly here to seek you would find.

Alright you horses @$$ you got me with that. LMFAO!

Sheese it's not like I'm try'n to convert you guys.

A lot of assumptions from you. A lot of presumptions as well.

It's easy to sit on your pedestal and say god did it, well because you believe.

Do I ask to much? I just want god to say he's real. Maybe I'm too young for that moment? Pushing 40, so maybe i have 40 more years...as it stands now, at least for me, god is not real, and he's as likely to show up as the tooth fairy.

I'll continue living my life as usual, and nothing will change. I gave god an opening, he declined.

Sorry mate, but it is like the story of the frog and the scorpion.

One day a scorpion needed to cross a large river, but he could not swim. He saw a frog by the waters edge, and went up to the frog and asked "Mister Frog, could you please be so kind as to carry me across the river, I cannot swim and you are quite good at it."

The frog replied "Oh no Mister Scorpion, for you would surely sting me."

"Oh no Mister Frog, why would I do that, for then we would both surely drown." the scorpion said.

The frog considered this and finally said "Ok Mister Scorpion, hop onto my back and I will take you across the river."

So the scorpion hopped onto the frogs back and they started across the river.

Half way across the river, the scorpion raised his tail and stung the frog.

"Why Mister Scorpion, you promised you wouldn't sting me, for now we shall surely both drown."

"I do not know Mister Frog.... It is just my nature."

Oo

It’s quite possible and why I don’t discount evolution or christians who do
Again, nothing is really defined in the bible, open to interpretation

The Genesis account does not allow for evolution. It clearly states that God created each creature according to its kind. While this does leave room for variation in a kind. Think dogs for example. It does not allow room for evolution into a new "kind" or a different species.

When the creation account dies on the cross to save me from my failures then I will bow down, at this stage though
I will worship Jesus not the creation account written thousands of years ago

Each to their own, should God convict me, I will change

Not denying, just don’t need to

Then why bother? Why do you do feel the need to come into a thread
all JW and try to sell your lack of an explanation to people who see
life as a gift from some one way beyond your knowledge of zero and
your intelligence? Not hard to believe at all when you have nothing to
offer in it's stead. Are you here to rectify and reassure yourself?

Looking for subject's to form your own cult of hate for something
that to you is imaginary? Why are you wasting time preaching to
us for cripes sakes? We're all just hallucinating delusional Jesus freaks?
And yet here you are in your stilettos and fringe rub'n elbows with
us.

Didn’t ask to much, just expected God to work on your time line
Be patient, keep asking

If God is real then He will answer, when, that’s another question.

Yes 40 authors of 66 books written in 3 different languages on 3 different
continents over a period of at least 1500 yrs. Every word pointing in the
direction of Gods perfect word. Jesus Christ the Living Bible and all
the proof I need. No other facts on earth can even approach that right
there. Glad you mentioned it.

a reply to: carsforkids

Maybe because I want that god you believe in to be real?

Maybe because I want there to be more to life than just temporarily existing?

I want proof though, and god should have no problem proving it to me.

a reply to: gallop

Because I'm a scorpion! I know that one well amigo!

Very cool fable.

If you're sincere than this right here would have to mean something to you.

At least enough to keep you from making negative comments.

I am sincere, and I've read quite a bit.

Nothing I've read compels me to believe

a reply to: Vector99

What I just said has nothing to do with what you've read.
They are facts apart from reading. Why does this need to be
explained? What those facts constitute is a miracle and I want
you to acknowledge it! lol

There are lots of books, in several languages, and they all have a central premise, but tend to contradict each other.

When was the last time you read the Tripitaka?

a reply to: Vector99

Never but I will just to show you how any written word can be mocked
and heckled with asinine out of context assumptions that have no baring
what so ever on the message you have a responsibility to yourself to look
at with an open mind. Of course that can only come when you get over
yourself first. That can only happen when you wake up to the fact there
simply must be some intelligence responsible for you. And realize that
intellect would have to be just what is written in scripture. There is no
difficulty in it at all.

BTW did you know that Jesus Christ is the only figure to have more than
one religion declare him to be divine?

Buddha

Then don't be look'n up at the sky for him. The best place to
find him is inside yourself. His kingdom is of the spirit and for
you only that means your spirit. So whether you understand it
or not he has responded before you were even born.
