I see you have provided zero evidence for the afterlife but apparently think I must accept it just because you say so
I dont accept something exists on that basis and as you have nothing else to convince me I have to reject the notion
The only thing that survives after your death is the energy you were made from but you will be dead for all eternity
You have no evidence for what you believe either. That energy that survives is your consciousness, the spark of life, and you will still beā¦thinking but without your human body.
I do not believe in any thing at all because I have no need for belief. I do however think death is eternal because there is zero evidence to suggest otherwise
And the energy that survives after death is not consciousness but simply physical energy. The notion that consciousness can survive death is just pure wibble
Do you think that I am going to be surprised by something you think is true just because you want it to be
I am too old to be surprised by anything but I am planning on staying dead forever when I leave this world
I am not refuting the Old Testament. God clearly was there for the Israelites in a special way. God did lead them out of Egypt and made them His chosen people, but I simply reject certain elements of the Old Testament stories, due to them not being of the nature of God.
God is love. It is one of the most important aspects of who He is.
When I am dead I will have no will but as I will have no need for one by then then it is not really a problem
I cannot will myself out of existence even now when I do have one and so either way it makes no difference
Sorry, but you are going to live forever s57. God kept his word and killed no one to my knowledge. Sure their human flesh bag dies but their conscious soul lives on.
If you knew that you werenāt ever going to die, how would you make the most out of living? Human life defines time which keeps eternal beings sane.
Actually, Godās highest, greatest power resides in Peace and it is an emotion made up of Love and Joy. His holiness or wholeness is found in his Peace.
Godās Holiness is His being set-apart from all that is toxic, vulgar, and evil. This being set-apart is based in His love, His love for what is beautiful and good. When you love what is beautiful and good, you will naturally avoid, or set yourself apart from what is toxic, vulgar, and evil.
Godās Holiness (being set-apart) emanates from His love, His love for what is beautiful and good.
You can feel free to butt in whenever you choose, Wendy.
I think that for many Peace would be Godās greatest attribute. You would share that with them.
But I seem to think that it also depends on each individual ~~ what it is that they value most and desire most.
Itās a highly personal thing and i donāt think that we all share the same sense about that.
For me, though, I am an agnostic, it would be Godās creativity and Godās inner beauty which shows in nature and the universe.
For others, it would be omniscience or omnipotence, ad continuum. God is our oyster.
I think that we can say: Godās greatest aspect or attribute TO ME but I donāt think that we can assign OUR intuitions and feelings about our personal relationship with God to others, Wendy.
He created all. How is he set apart? He favors some creations over others as he favors Jesus over Lucifer, but God is not only beautiful and good even though he favors those qualities.
God is good and that which He creates is also good.
The devil was an angel originally, but decided to become evil.
God is set-apart from all toxicity and evil.
Good people will naturally avoid hanging out with toxic people, such as violent criminals (unless they are trying to bring them to Jesus). God is set-apart from toxicity and evil on an even more infinite level.
