What does in God’s image mean? He created Adam & Eve without a moral sense.

Im not saying I dont believe in god, but the god in the bible sounds like a dictator.

Jesus the God of the bible... he left us and took off.

what does that tell you?

Dictators hang around, we have a few real-life ones hanging around now... most reside in the Middle East presently.

The biblical god, yes. The Sumerian side seems a lot closer to the truth and with what they knew about the galaxy, they have a pretty good case also.

You're spamming, once is enough.

Yeah maybe, but there are older texts than the bible as well and some say that the bible is just a modernised version of the older ones which point to ETs. Even those texts could be BS. The truth is we are here and we may never know the real truth.

that's cool... when you look into it you may discover it is all one long song of language, we've just improved upon it and made it more efficient along the way.

You asked for it.

ET's do not exist. They are EDs. "Extra-dimensional" entities. The two greatest researchers and authorities the world has ever known on the subject, DRs J. Alan Hynak and Jacques Valle both assert these entities and phenomenon are extra-dimensional and "demonic". Their words, not mine. And neither of these men are Christians nor do they believe in the God of the Bible.

Christian bias cannot be claimed as a rebuttal.

Fail from the start. The commandment says " Thou shalt not MURDER". It doesn't say kill. And besides that, those numbers are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too small. God commands the soul of every person who has ever died except two, Enoch and Elijah.

there is a extremely large possibility that life in the universe does exist... actually we can know it does now, we're looking at planets going around other stars at this point.

are they here and terrestrial coming here to slaughter cows and perform experiments on humans? Highly unlikely because if some aliens could get here ww would most likely be annihilated, or enslaved.

Some job they're doing too. If man was created from god's image then god must be a really #ty guy/entity/thing.

I really feel sorry for you guy. Every one of your posts is packed with stuff that I suppose you got from "speaking to god" or something. Personally, I think you are mentally insane in a really bad way.

I say crazy stuff too sometimes, but I don't present it like I am in possession of some divine knowledge. Cut the crap, everybody knows you're just a guy.

I guess then your question is: Was the Israelite genocide of the Caananites murder? Would you consider war and genocide murder now? Are Islamic extremists, or the crusading (Bush's words not mine) US army justified when they commit genocide today?

You might be misunderstanding me. I'm not denying the phenomena. I'm rejecting the current rationalization for that phenomena. And I'm appealing to the two greatest authorities on the subject the world has ever known. Drs. Jacques Valle and J. Alan Hynek. I'm also pre-invalidating the debunker's claims of 'Christian bias'.

These two men aren't Christians and aren't believers in the God of the Bible.

Read 'sovereignty of man' as "free will". Your attempt at a rebuttal actually confirmed what I said. We're created with the free will to choose good or evil. We were not created robots.

I really feel sorry for you guy.

Don't, I'm not running for office, I don't need votes.

Every one of your posts is packed with stuff that I suppose you got from "speaking to god" or something.

For one, I highly doubt you've read "every one" of my almost 10K posts, that's a lie, and second, I've never said I received any information from 'speaking to God', straw man fallacy.

Personally, I think you are mentally insane in a really bad way.

Where did you get your degree in Psychology?

I say crazy stuff too sometimes, but I don't present it like I am in possession of some divine knowledge. Cut the crap, everybody knows you're just a guy.

I am a guy,.. brilliant deduction.

Take care now.

Jesus the God of the bible... he left us and took off.

what does that tell you?

Dictators hang around, we have a few real-life ones hanging around now... most reside in the Middle East presently.

Well Jesus promised that he would return. And God has never left or forsaken us. Followers of Christ are filled with the Holy Spirit.

I think its unfair to say Jesus' just "took off", that is not quite an accurate picture.

So god does not have free will or is that exclusive to us? Or do you even know where we are going with this? Remember this whole thread is about us being created in gods image, whatever that means.

I suppose that means god has the ability to choose between good and evil too huh? How do you know your god isn't actually evil and deceiving you? If he is so omnipotent obviously hes a lot smarter than you and already knows what you're thinking.

What is your answer to that? What if your god (assuming he exists) is fooling you with all his omnipotence?

You refuse to question that. You are naive.

Who cares how many posts you have, I don't. I've read enough of them.

You speak as if you imply that, doesn't take a genius to see that. There is no straw man fallacy, if you even know what that means, use some common sense. You just said something about extradimensional beings:

And now you're trying to tell me I'm committing a fallacy. So if you aren't "speaking to god", just where are you getting all this great inside info from? Don't tell me... the bible?

My point is you're basically making up whatever you want to support your religious view. I know you know this.

Really? I could of sworn you were the second reincarnation of jesus christ by the way you talk?

My whole point in this is:

Stop acting like you know what you are talking about, because you don't. You are just another human, there is nothing special about you. Your belief in fairy tales doesn't make you better than anyone else.

I remember, you only quoted half of my reply. What else did I say in response to op?

You refuse to question that. You are naive.

I didn't come out of the womb with a Bible in my hand. I've only been a believer for about a decade now. Questioning my upbringing, public education, worldview and presuppositions is how I've arrived at the beliefs I have today.

Who cares how many posts you have, I don't. I've read enough of them.

Irrelevant. You said "every one" of my posts, I'm calling you out, that statement was a lie. You've not read "every one" of my posts.

You speak as if you imply that, doesn't take a genius to see that. There is no straw man fallacy, if you even know what that means, use some common sense. You just said something about extradimensional beings:

Implication isn't a direct quote. You need to learn what a straw man is. You simply cannot invent something someone said then attack the quote you yourself made up.

I said where it came from, can't you read? "Drs. Jacques Valle, and J. Alan Hynak." The world's leading experts in the field of UFOlogy. And these men are not Christians nor believers in the God of the Bible.

So why would you ask where this info came from or ask if it came from the "Bible".

My point is you're basically making up whatever you want to support your religious view. I know you know this.

No, you can't read, it's pretty obvious. You've misquoted me, straw manned me, told a lie, and asked questions that have already been answered.

Not going to tell you.

I already know, it was hyperbole.

Really? I could of sworn you were the second reincarnation of jesus christ by the way you talk?

Quote?

My whole point in this is:

Finally!

Stop acting like you know what you are talking about, because you don't.

Again, I punted to the world's foremost experts in the field, and ones who aren't Christians or believers in God.

You cannot claim "Christian bias".

You are just another human, there is nothing special about you.

Yep, I even agreed with that above. Never claimed to be anything other than "a guy". I'm human, I could be wrong though you're the 'professional' here remember?

Your belief in fairy tales doesn't make you better than anyone else.

Straw manning again, never claimed to be better than anyone else.

/facepalm



If you have a problem with what Valle or Hynak said take it up with them. You'll need a medium to talk to Hynak though, good luck.

hey NT... I know I was just backtracking and giving my information on ET's

Life in the universe I think we are told something about that in the good Book and science is surely proven just that.

when I was watching Carl Sagan it was an amazing thing for him to say that since we are one successful path to how life arises in the universe. He never added that to how we do the math for how many inhabitable planets are out there (literally billions) so I say you apply that math to the method in which life arises as we know of one (our own) then if we find life out there (in our time) it may be strikingly similar to our very own...

Wow, you are just incapable of answering my questions huh?

Your entire post is an exercise in inflating your ego. The only possible way of defending your belief is twisted semantics and complication.

I guess you would rather have a debate that goes along the lines of "define: know".
