Ya Know...........

Interesting...

That a God capable of creating man, and the Universe, is unable to convince the majority of the world (as the majority are Buddhists) of his existence!

But every man's SERVANT that is bought for MONEY, when thou hast CIRCUMCISED HIM, then shall he eat therof.

A foreigner and an hired servant SHALL NOT EAT THEIROF.


Wow, compelling view of slavery and race relations


Get a grip

What does this mean? You cut off your servant's foreskin and eat it?

Science CORRECTLY INTERPRETED vindicates creationism.

How so? Or do you still think the world is flat, and that the planets and sun revolve around the Earth?

Do I still think the world is flat, you ask.

Answer:
Of course not, everyone knows it's cubed!

In all seriousness Gazrok, how does science disprove God?

IMHO....
I'm stumped at the usage of the "forbidden knowledge" bit....
Is this in respects to the "fruit" from the One Tree in the Garden of Eden that was forbidden?

Genesis 2:9
"And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The Tree of Life was also in the midst of the garden, and the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil."

Genesis 3:4-5
"And the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die, for God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

Genesis 3:22
"Then the Lord God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the Tree of Life, and eat, and live forever ---"

Even if one continues to claim that this same "fruit" eluded to "forbidden knowledge," that very same "forbidden knowledge" encompasses a far broader spectrum then our finite minds can imagine.

To stop seeking knowledge is to stop seeking ones "truth." The problem is not in the seeking of continued knowledge and growth but with "interpretation and discernment" of such knowledge.
Life is an ever experiencing, ever seeking, ever gaining of knowledge....it is an aspect that further determines ourselves.

I don't know if its a matter of "convincing"....
Its a matter of choice and perception.
God has no need to convince, He is all around us. Its our own perceptions that either allow us to see this or not see this.

I believe the usage of the "forbidden knowledge" was referring to using spirits/mediums/fortune telling /astrology type stuff.
