here, try this one on for size:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_Wager




"That earlier faith is much more like Pascal's belief, which looks, in a terrifying way, something like a constant suicide of reason, a tenacious, long-lived, worm-like reason, which cannot be killed once and for all with a single blow. From the start Christian faith has been sacrifice: a sacrifice of all freedom, all pride, all inherent certainty about one's own spirit, and at the same time slavery and self-mockery, self-mutilation." - Fredrick Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil

only spirit can make something from nothing

without spirit, nothingness is eternal.

Stephen Hawkings has recently admitted that no logical system of understanding could ever possibly explain the totality of experience.

the point of physics is to build spaceships. Not to understand God. Science can't accomplish that.

I think science itself is a religion, so in way science could explain alot more than we think, but like all religions it has its disposition, Its too dogmatic and rigid and this leads to a feeble process that doesn't glorify or give credit to the supernatural.

such as my interpretation of the spirit.

This is because science has found no evidence to suggest such a thing thus far.

no evidence they care to acknowledge :wink:

you know, we used to have a guy on these boards named SWAMI that was a lot like you.  He would go around trying to debunk spiritual beliefs...

anyway, he's not around here anymore.  I think his name is Mother Shabubu now...  :lol:

I can't remember, where I read about that, but perhaps it was in the apocrypha.
Satan simply got jealous, as he heard that god wanted man to have the power over the earth. That made him to trick adam through eve.
Satan was the first one, earth was promised, then god decided to give all power over earth to human.
The gimmick here is, satan is still the overall owner over the 'earth' and human, by having the ultimate power, is to worship satan by using this :wink:

I hope, this did make some sense :heart:

Quote:

"Thinking is an activity; every activity requires an agent; consequently"




An agent is not the totality of the action it performs. Is an agent of the law, the law in it's entirety? Is law something that resides in the physical world? Of course, the purpose and effect of the law are designed to impact the physical, social dynamic which is rooted in the flesh, but it would be a mistake to assume that law doesn't exist simply because it appears to only manifest as a consequence in the physical world. But this idea is a mistake as well because the presence of the law affects people's thoughts. They know the law exists so they may refrain from certain actions. Would you also say that their thoughts don't actually exist?

you are right in some ways

though the deed to earth is in satan's name, God is the cosigner.  Its only by virtue of God's credit that satan is able to rule the earth.

that you'll have to find yourself.  Its out there.  "I can only show you the door.  you have to step through it."  Perhaps you should read: "The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life" by Drunvalo Melchizedek.  I think you'll enjoy it.  Its much more powerful than what you are practicing now.

uhhh...  You must have a lot of negative energy inside if you percieve a parable as threat. 

relax, dude.  I always have your back.

replace the word 'say' with the word 'do', and there you have my philosophy.

The funny thing really is, that Satan, by offering the knowledge of free will to Adam (through the fruit of the tree of knowledge, what is risen consciousness to self-consciousness in primal evolution), Satan handled over the power of the real influence of earth over to human, again, giving in some risk, man could follow 'gods'' ways again, transforming satans realm to a realm of godly laws, what could get tricky, by cause of definition which Satan is the ruler of and they are called 'separation of god's will' :lol:
I don't know where this will lead to.. :heart:

I have also heard that story. I believe it is from one of the medieval mystic saints, but I can't remember which one. The sticking point still remains; if God created Satan Good, then why would he become jealous? It seems there must be some defect of character, because jealousy is not good.
