It was pretty dumb for me to expect him to answer that. I don't know what I was thinking..

This isn't a debunking.

So you think it's wrong?

Ahh, I see what you mean now. I'll have to think about it. Well Gnostics believe the universe was created by an evil God. I'm not saying that at all. I despise Gnosticism. Do you know what virtual reality is? Have you ever seen The Matrix before? I would say yes. I would even presume that...

Yeah I was having trouble getting the copy/paste to work properly for some reason. But the link to paper should be working. I also forgot to mention that I think Snoke is a creationist, if I remember correctly..

The Bible says Rachel was dying because her spirit was leaving her body. So when I read Colossians 3, I take to mean that, yes we Christians have actually died, to the extent that at least some part of our spirit must have been detached from our body in some way and is with the Lord. In the same...

I'm not sure I explained this very well here so I want to try to clarify what I mean real quick: It would not makes sense, if the point of Thessalonians 4 was for Paul to communicate the idea of "soul sleep" to the brothers in Macedonia. Because "what happens when we die" is so foundational to...

Well I imagine the reason you keep bringing it up here is that you don't really have anyone in your life to tell it to. People can suffer terribly from loneliness and from many other things. I am telling you about my father, not necessarily to make you feel sorry, but so that you know we...

IIRC You said you thought your job might be making you sick and then you said something about being in the hospital for a couple weeks and now something else has happened. When I was 20 I sat alone in a room with my father as he flopped around like a fish and bleed out of his eyes as he died...

So now that we all agree (😄) that the spiritual supersedes the physical and thus this physical universe can be thought of as a simulated reality, we can move on to the next question: What is the purpose? I would say JudgeRightly hit the nail on the head. I would stress that it serves as a...

These are not only great points. They are undeniable.

Do you believe we will be made of atoms in Heaven? I think the Biblical authors believed that death was when the spirit departs from the body. So yeah, for the dead to rise would mean that the spirit has been rejoined with the body. Death doesnt mean that the spirit was destroyed or shut off...

Are you high or something?? We think he should be put to death, Anna. How could you not realize that? This thread is about the death penalty! Do you agree that he should be put to death? I bet you disagree. I would max out my credit card on that bet in a second.

But the Bible tells us to focus on the spiritual. I take that to mean what is spiritual supercedes the physical. I don't agree that Paul was talking about gay metaphysics when he wrote Colossians 3. I think he was making a true statement about reality (inspired by God!), that we have died and...

Yeah but I think the word "Metaphysical" is kinda gay, isn't it? I mean, you are either talking about the physical or the spiritual right? Which is it? We don't need to use gay words from the 1980s horoscope and gossip magazines.

Sounds like you need to finally get your act together. What's stopping you? Nonsense and Orwellian double speak. The article claims the UK has "better protections for women" and at the same time it says we can't compare the UKs rape rate with other countries. How can any know if the former is...

Ahh now I understand. I meant...in heaven we won't need physical eyes to see things. Will we? I don't know at the moment. But Paul also wrote that we are already dead. That we have died and our lives are hidden with Christ. But we are still here, talking and walking around! Would you say...

Well, which would you say is more real? God ..or a jewelry box?

Because he's a real man and not a crybaby.

I'm not saying you are wrong, I'm not sure I am following you here. What does being visible or invisible have to do with anything I said. But our spirit is not made of matter. Only our current, physical bodies are. I would say our physical bodies and our brains are more or less the interface...
