The question`s GOD beleiver / Creationists ignore or don`t / won`t / can`t answer ?

by smiddy3 in

the common thread of beleivers / creationists of a god creating life is design .. and if something / anything is designed it must have a designer ?.

however this reasoning is discarded when talking about the existence of god.. and if such a being as god somehow existed without a designer why not all forms of life itself as existing on earth ?.

coming into existence without a designer ?.

the net energy of the entire universe is ZERO (when considering gravitational potential energy as negative energy) and that thus the entire universe could have come from NOTHING.

DJW:

If you have positive Energy and negative Energy on the balance, evening out, Can you see the 2 energies instead of zero? That means most of the energy of the cosmos is still out there, in time, waiting for us to move into. ( we are obviously moving through time into the future)

Where does it say that all energy that existed for an eternity is locked up in our local universe?

The same equation applies for matter and anti matter. 2 in potential balance = 2. period, not one. so,

do not forget the deists. Power of reason.

Judgment Day

by Fisherman in

a specific “day,” or period, when particular groups, nations, or mankind in general are called to account by god.

.

“i solemnly charge you before god and christ jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead,”- 2 tim 4:1. seems like sins are not paid by dying or the ransom if there is a judgment in-spite of it.

Executing someone who commits murder does nothing

tbn. not so, worst case scenario, an innocent person might die, because of failure, or deliberate action of those working in the lucrative Criminal Industrial Complex.( not mean to be demeaning of the sincere and hard working workers there)

we dont know how many people had second thoughts before acting when they thought about their own neck, last breath. As I said they are asking for it, as do the elders that deliver biased judgements.

delivering a quarter hour of nitrogen is cheaper, less painful too, than keeping criminals warehoused for years and years. targeted population control.

“Hanging the earth upon nothing”

by FFGhost in

for those of you not up to speed on the latest jw trends, one of the key scriptures the jws are using in field serve-us lately is job 26:7, wherein the writer describes the earth as “hanging upon nothing”.. this text is used to indicate the bible’s “reliability”.

the reasoning goes something like this:.

“see, centuries ago, people thought the world was flat, or was resting on elephants or turtles, or some such nonsense.

waton

And the mind boggles to think what would happen if the Earth stood still

s3, in Joshua's case, stop rotating and starting to spin again within hours.

"earthquakes in one place and another" ha ha.

In Job's case, stopped revolving, stopped being hung on energy aka "no thing", a straight dive into the sun, be gone in 65 days. average falling speed: ~100 000 km/h ( quoted from Wiki)

Not to mention punishing some does not help the person who has been victimized.

tbn. yes it helps the mental well being of the victims, aka closure,-- particular for the survivors of the acts of disgusting criminals, like the rapist murderer of their young daughter, or to have the life savings of a senior taken by a cyber criminal.

It is one thing to wait for judgement day. better and surer to see justice applied right now.

The Law might be an ass , in some cases. so: take the Golden Rule, Math:7:12.

applied to a murderous criminal. He/she by killing, invites, agrees to the same treatment upon themselves. "let it be done to me as I do unto others". better yet,

remove all criminals from civilized society and let them go at themselves, offer bounties.

justice for all, to each its own.

have a good judgement day.

The idea that a person has to be harmed for doing something unlawful is sadistic.

It has to be brought to the criminals' attention what it feels like to be robbed, raped rapierd. The idea that there will be no appropriate consequences for criminality is mistaken.

sadly more concern for the criminal than the victims.

The barbarians are the criminals.

The Korah Story Composition

by peacefulpete in

a perennial favorite of the wt, and other hierarchal churches, is the infamous korah rebellion tale of numbers 16. the story has been a subject of debate for many many years.

how did korah die?

did his family?

waton

the final narrative, really revealing, apocalyptic is: that

Reuben is listed as an approved Tribe of Israel (of God), together with the new comer "tribe of Joseph"

so, evidently sometimes "rebellions" have a tacit approval, in hindsight.

tbn: "-it doesn't address the "why" of the theft either. If someone is dirt poor and starving to death I doubt they have the means to repay seven-fold-" .
tbn:
excuse the yellow. often kleptomaniacs, serial killers, can not be helped, sick individuaLS FIT ONLY TO BE REMOVED PERMANENTLY.
The laws are meant to be deterrents, clearly spelled out.
If the individual could not read, or not repay the seven sheep, because being a bad manager, he could pay his dept to society by contracting into long term organized labour. with guaranteed safety net. release, if desired, after 49 years. @ Jubilee.
Criminality will disappear with the disappearance of criminals.
Committing crimes is not a human right.
If there is one judgement day to fix that, once and for all, I am all for that.

Good point, the bible is only 0.16 % accurate, scientifically.

Disturbing too, that the Son, when on Earth, sent to speak truth, did not correct the flat earthers, like "Satan" , who showed him all the kingdoms of the Earth, from the heights, offered them on a platter so to speak. ***

It is not just a wt, but a bible problem, starting with Genesis 1:1. which has the Earth 13.8 billion years old.

the sky hook for the Earth is energy, its velocity. "dynamic energy" eternal, uncreated, together with time.

*** bible writers lacked imagination, they should have depicted the 2 sons of God on the moon, viewing Earth for 24 hours, showing all the empires, , China and it's wall, visible from space. .

FUN FACT: The planet's "hanging" orbital velocity is exactly 1/10 000 of the universal speed limit, the speed of light "c" --30 km /sec. amazing, look it up.

This is against how the JW understand it.

L14, wt writers have now admitted (in latest light) , that judgement will be, because of sins committed in this current life, but do not give the good explanation/reasoning you did. thank you.

Revenge is immoral. It can never be just. Therefor vengeance makes any justice system unjust.

Tbn. without retribution the laws against criminality are just empty words. example:

Think of the law that has a thief pay seven times the value he stole. great idea.

The one who takes somebody else's life has forfeited the right to live.

" it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living god."

"outside the liars and adulterers, the dogs"
