This answers a question of mine that you skipped. Even after your prophets predictions fail you will still Believe.
It's a pity really, this was the best opportunity, I think it's safe to assume that future predictions won't have a specific time frame associated with them, unless they are comfortably far in the future. |

I think this is a key point. If (when) these prophecies fail completely, that should occasion a complete rethink of his whole attitude. Top to bottom. Soup to nuts. But PC already says it will not deter him from his illusions. He'll go looking for another god. It's sad, really.

Strike 3--you're out.
Hey, PeaceCrusader, I see that you ran away from the Philippine Atheists Forum after your prediction for WWIII happening in April didn't come true earlier this year. I sincerely hope that you've been honest with us and won't run away from here too once your holy spirit is once again wrong. |

That doesn't bode well. PeaceCrusader already knew his "holy spirit" had been wrong about WWIII, yet continued to believe. Also, he never mentioned that failure on this board, instead leading us to believe (by omission) that the "spirit" hadn't been proven itself false already.
PC, it appears your "spirit" or the woman pretending to "channel" it, is fraudulent. And although I don't like making accusations, it also appears that you are too, since you withheld pertinent information in an effort to falsely represent the spirit/channeler. |

I think that John 17:3 is wrong, and that no such god exists anywhere in the universe.

I'm wondering if this woman is actually blind, or if she has a seeing assistant in another room who feeds her information via an earphone. (I also doubt very much that she'd expose herself to a properly-structured test of her abilities, as she has a lot to lose if she fails the test.)

Has anyone else noticed that PeaceCrusader works his way backwards when it comes to responding to posts? How odd is that?
This is "old" and I'm being nitpicky, but the Chicxulub asteroid supposedly released energy equivalent to roughly 2 million Tsar Bombas (at 50 megatons, the most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated). But surely he could make things happen through his agents and powers of deception. Otherwise, Satan's not much of a boogeyman, is he? He's even gone as far as to say, essentially, that "if God loves us, this won't happen." He has his out. It's strange that it took him so long to come up with it. It would at least be a sin to heed anything the false god says, wouldn't it? Yet that's exactly what you've decided you will do. The One True God certainly would not look kindly on such behavior. You know this is true. Furthermore, you're suggesting to others that it is sometimes OK to listen to false gods. That is in direct contradiction to... everything ever said about false gods. You've almost certainly damned yourself. Unless... you're an agent of Satan himself. That would explain many things. But that was a different One True God. He surely abandoned that false god and continued his search. This prophecy is from his new One True God. End this nonsense, PeaceCrusader, for your own well-being and the well-being of those around you. By doing so, you would certainly do far more good than this insanity that you're currently engaged in. |

20120702.1945 @Akuma Tennou, #929 Yes, it was still last April (2012-04) that I stopped, but not quit, participating in Philippine Atheists Forum. Why? Because I was in the Philippines in May (2012-05) and came back home only in 06-03. Then, I have been occupied in this JREF forum. I prefer this forum because there is more participation here than in the Philippine Atheists Forum. It is not a “her prediction” but “His prediction”. I still maintain what the Holy Spirit said that the 2012 Olympic Games will not be held and that there will be a world war prior to this Games on a Wednesday in the middle of this year, i.e. 06-27, 07-04, 07-11, or 07-18. The nuclear exchange will be for eight hours. Watch out for Vietnam, one of the six claimants of the disputed Spratly Islands. |

I think you asked this question before but it got overlooked. What makes me alive is that the complex array of chemical, biological and electrical processes that make my body work are still going on. One day they will stop and I will be dead. I imagine you have a different answer in mind; one which involves magic. |

20120702.2025 @AdMan, #924 No, Adman, I did not run away from the Philippine Atheists Forum. As I said to Akuma Tennou, I was in the Philippines in May (2012-05) and when I came back, I have been tied down to this forum. There is more participation here than over there. Later, I will come back there. You are assuming that the predictions of the Holy Spirit that the 2012 Olympic Games will not be held because of a world war that will start on a Wednesday in the middle of this year from the Philippines will not happen. I assure you, they will happen. We have passed one of the four Wednesdays without the war happening yet. We still have 07-04, 07-11, and 07-18. I will be here even after 07-18. What will you do if you survive the nuclear holocaust and His prophecies come true? Will you believe in Him? Please watch out for Vietnam, one of the six claimants of the disputed resource-rich Spratly Islands. |

20120702.2045 @Jack by the hedge, #940 Was the question overlooked or ignored? Thank you, Jack by the hedge, for giving us your answer. Yes, I have a different answer in mind. And it is not your answer. What makes those processes go on? What is in you that is not in someone who is dead? |

Surprised you're so confident of that considering that you'e equally confident in these predictions that there will be a nuclear war.
Even if you survive the cull what chance the JREF server will still be here to witness your sick God's evil triumph? Hey Darat does the JREF server have a hot standby somewhere that isn't a target for global nuclear devastation? Or is it that case that if Seattle turns into a glassy crater we lose the JREF for good? Enquiring minds want to know. |

20120702.2105 @AdMan, #920 If the voice that you heard was not a man’s voice, was it a woman’s voice? I think a man may talk like a woman but it is very hard for a woman to speak like a man. As I said, it is almost 30 years that I have associated with this woman and from my observation, the woman and the Holy Spirit are two different persons. Aside from the voice, they have different wisdom and mannerism. When I asked Him if the Blessed Virgin Mary (BVM) can hear the prayers to her in different parts of the world, He said that she can hear all of them because she is in each person also. I thought, only God is in each person. Therefore, it is not only God who is in a person but also those who are with God. He said that God is in each of us and also in us is the Devil. |

Season 3, Episode 95*
So where are you now? Your posting activity coincides with the Asia-Pacific? Australia?
Quote:
May I recommend *Season 3, Episode 95 of The Twilight Zone. Theodore Bikel does an awesome acting turn in a story called "Four O'Clock". His character keeps records of all sorts of transgressions of people, reporting them and trying to get them thrown out of their jobs. He then decides that he's not making enough impact that way, so what he's going to do is shrink all the evil people in the world to two feet tall - at four o'clock that afternoon. The last scene, as most of the sci fi geeks around here can tell you, has only him being shrunk.

20120702.2230 @rambaldi, #947 How do I actually check that He must live for eternity including during the creation of this world? Who created this world? God. Genesis 1:1 states, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” The only true God made Himself into three, as the Father, as the Son Jesus Christ, and as the Holy Spirit. As a Christian, I believe in the Holy Bible – the Old Testament where God the Father spoke and the New Testament where God the Son Jesus Christ spoke. In Revelation 22:16, Jesus revealed who He is. He is God, to wit: “I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.” In the New Testament of the Holy Bible, we read about the life of Jesus and what He said. Since Jesus was a human being who lived on earth, He must have a spirit. That spirit is the Holy Spirit who we (plural) talk to, tape recorded. The question is: is He the true Holy Spirit? We scrutinize what He says. Who can say when Jesus was born (May 23) and died (August 17)? Human beings failed to determine these. The Holy Spirit told these to us. I first heard these in 1983 and which He confirmed in later sessions. I was able to prove them to be true and correct in my studies from 1999 to 2006. Who can say that the name of the Philippines before the Spaniards named it Las Islas Filipinas was Maio Mait? In John 8:58 of the King James Version, “Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.” |

20120702.2310 @Jack by the hedge, #950 The difference between a living person and a dead person is the spirit which came from the only true God. The spirit of a living person is still in his physical body whereas the spirit of a dead person has already left his physical body. The physical body is just soil. It is inanimate and does not move. Genesis 2:7 states, “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground: and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” So to make this soil that God formed move, He breathed into it, and it became a living soul. When a person “dies”, this spirit returns to God. Ecclesiastes 12:7 states, “Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.” |

Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me...
And twice on the pipe if the answer is no. Well, I just finished watching the US Olympic gymnastic trials last night, and I'm looking forward to seeing those boys and girls compete. Same with Michael Phelps, who has qualified for eight events AGAIN (although I doubt he plans to go for gold in all eight of them; be interesting if that happens though!). I still haven't seen anything definitive that lends any credence to your predictions, PeaceCrusader; no evidence of a two hundred million man strong Chinese army, no indications of major cyber attacks; in short, nada. Your so-called Holy Spirit better step up the agenda; we're less than a month away from the games. Chop chop! |

One and one and one is three.
I can see where you've made your error here. The bible is just fiction, and there is no spirit as an animating force. Because you think that there is such a thing, it means you are more easily conned by a woman putting on voices claiming to channel these mythical spirits. eta - I've got tickets for some of the boxing and gymnastics finals, so I'll be enjoying the Olympics first hand. |

You are probably right and I may be mistaken. I ran some of the posts through Google translate, but what I was alluding to were some of the posts in English from other members who mentioned there had been a failed prediction for April. If that was incorrect, I apologize, Peace. I'll buy you a beer after the Olympics. ![]() ETA: Take a look at this post (ignore the personal attacks), which refers to this one:
