You think God's plan is to cause us brain damage? Limbo, Edge, articulately and decisively refute the point made in this video.

I think you got that wrong.
All input is from God. All through out the history of religion they happen in your waking state, in your dreams, or you are taken up physically, they can happen outside your head or inside your head. I have had all of these. My father and mother have had these, I watched them come true. The ones I have had latley are in dreams, I never ever in 15 or more years have remember any of my dreams it started two weeks ago. The last one my father had was on his death bed. It came true when he was gone. Here's what I have been shown. But I’ll try to give you some Idea of what it is you are missing. God’s plan is to revel himself to Christians and maybe others before the end. It’s a relationship with God promised by the Holy Spirit when you are awake or asleep. The Holy Spirit wants me to come in here and tell you these things I see, and understand. This way you are without excuse, what I relate to believers is confirmation of his plans. I made up my mind not to come in here again, because it’s hopeless or so I thought, but I have to do his will, or as much as I can stand to do because you and everyone else in here are so.. . What’s the word?...Nasty about the whole issue. Religious issues right now for me are on the back burner because I am in a University taking in, as much as I can and my time is spent there to keep ahead of everyone, I have done this and I now have a little time to reply or post when I see the need. I’m saved so I figured that I shouldn’t bother you and everyone else in here since you all are so adamant about your belief. I have pushed out of mind the whole Idea or issue about God but I am being shown in my waking state how he works in my life and in my dreams about what is to happen and what that will look like to the world and I know what you will say ahead of time. Doc posted this Pay attention,” John 14: 15-17
Quote:
believe me but what the hey. First let me say this; there is a sign that will appear when the earth has gone through its last upheaval or natural disaster or what the bible says about birth pains, when that happens, you will have one more chance to convert. It will be something that has to do with our sun and since the beginning of man no one has witnessed an event like this, it will scare the dukey out of everyone, but it will pass, take this and just remember what I said. It will pulse; it will look like a pulsar but won’t be a pulsar. I can’t tell you when it will happen or what it really is, except at that time we won’t be hurt or at least as far as I can tell we will survive it. I haven’t remembered any of my dreams for at least 15 years or longer, last night makes two in a row, so after that event happens there is more, which you do not really need to know or the dream I had a week ago when this started. There will be scientists that will explain this all away when it stops, that will be a deception for many till the next event happens; you are without excuse after that time,( the next event.) He wants you to know this now. I am compelled to tell you this even though many in here will flip out about my post. Personally I don’t care what you think or say, I am doing his will not mine, my will was to leave here and not come back. The only difference between a skeptic and a believer is we believe in God and you don’t so don’t hand me that crap about critical thinking or how you are skeptical, we all are the same and there is only one difference. Call me what you will, at one point in time or non-time you will see me again and the whole aspect that you carry around and preach about will also change, then we will be all spiritually connected to each other and God above all as I was shown. You can then apologize to me and everyone else that has tried to give you a heads up…Because you will. Your arrogance will disappear at this time. I think that I won't have anything else to tell you after this and I pray that I am not compelled to report anything else to you. My attention will be directed to my studies so that I can maintain my grade point average at 3.9,4.0 unless I see more that might interest you or is necessary for you to know. |

So why just you Edge? Why not to ALL people? Why do WE have to get the message SECOND HAND? Why doesn't the holy spook tell us directly without having to rely on you to tell us? Oh yes....we still have an excuse....WE DO NOT BELIEVE YOU..... how is that for an excuse. Why does the holy ghost not tell me directly....why does it have to rely on you to relay the message to us?? How do I know that your dream was not in fact SATAN telling you to DECEIVE all of us?? So tricks and DECEPTION again….. it is all about DECEPTION with this god of yours…isn’t it? Much like the Devil….no? I mean….if Beelzebub wanted to deceive you and pull the wool over your eyes and misguide you….how would you know the difference? How can you be sure that all this is not Satan screwing around with your life and your mind and through you wants to bring down JREF because he knows god in fact loves atheists because they THINK and use REASON? If you know that we won't believe you...doesn't the holy scarecrow know that too? Why does he still want you to tell us instead of telling us directly? How do we know that it was not the DEVIL that is raping your dreams? But it must be at the very least in YOUR lifetime....no? Otherwise why bother tell you or to tell you to tell us....we are your contemporaries...thus if this event is not going to happen in my life time and I will be dead before it happens then WHY TELL ME????? If it is not in your life time then WHY TELL YOU? And if you cannot tell us when it is going to happen then what is the point? I can tell you that you are going to die.... I cannot tell you when it will happen but you will surely die......is this much of a prophecy or is it a SCAM??? Why apologize to YOU….what happened to the holy freak? But your arrogance will never disappear..... your whole request for apology is so disgusting.... I feel like vomiting….. Do you think the Holy FAKE will not mind that you are usurping his due? |

Working on the same principle as, "God must have an inordinate fondness for beetles since he made so many of them," it follows that God must have an inordinate fondness for violence and destruction since he decrees it so often.
...and are probably headed straight to Hell. No heaven for fun. Holy ****, this is kind of scary - it teeters right on the edge (NPI) of falling over into wacko territory. |

[quote=Leumas;7824197]So why just you Edge? Why not to ALL people?
This is the way it is. Why do WE have to get the message SECOND HAND? Why doesn't the holy spook tell us directly without having to rely on you to tell us? You do not need me to tell you that. Oh yes....we still have an excuse....WE DO NOT BELIEVE YOU..... how is that for an excuse. What ever. Why does the holy ghost not tell me directly....why does it have to rely on you to relay the message to us?? How do I know that your dream was not in fact SATAN telling you to DECEIVE all of us?? If it was him;Satan, I wouldn't be telling you these things . So tricks and DECEPTION again….. it is all about DECEPTION with this god of yours…isn’t it? Much like the Devil….no? The deception is your's.I mean….if Beelzebub wanted to deceive you and pull the wool over your eyes and misguide you….how would you know the difference? How can you be sure that all this is not Satan screwing around with your life and your mind and through you wants to bring down JREF because he knows god in fact loves atheists because they THINK and use REASON? Because the Jefers hate God and love satanic things of the world, that's why. It is you who are decived. If you know that we won't believe you...doesn't the holy scarecrow know that too? Why does he still want you to tell us instead of telling us directly? There you go again you want ansewrs but you spit in his face, you are so stuck and angery, your next statement... right back at you. How do we know that it was not the DEVIL that is raping your dreams? But it must be at the very least in YOUR lifetime....no? Otherwise why bother tell you or to tell you to tell us....we are your contemporaries...thus if this event is not going to happen in my life time and I will be dead before it happens then WHY TELL ME????? You are already dead, that's why. And if you cannot tell us when it is going to happen then what is the point? It is written, no one knows. I can tell you that you are going to die.... I cannot tell you when it will happen but you will surely die......is this much of a prophecy or is it a SCAM???

Snipped the reast of the drvel. I only said I seen the event not the after affects. The next night I saw the next event not the after affects. I have said back a few posts, that it proves we will all be saved, the question is for how long will we be saved, all of us. That is biblical as I have posted the correlating passages back away. |

Well, I don't see anyone going to a church here and enlighting them.
But I do see people coming here knowing what type of forum they are on and complaining that it is they that are being pick on. They have nothing but hearsay backing them up, and it has been told to them time and time again that it counts for nothing in the real world. Sorry but I don’t feel sorry for them, they had over a thousand years to show the way to enlightenment and all they did was to kept humankind down and robbed people of their rights and kept the human race from going to the stars. Poor poor them. Paul

yep, zero sympathy. Unsupported assertions of the supernatural and special pleading do not make an argument. If they cant understand that, the only recourse is abuse, derision and humour.

I find his (Edge) posts hard to read, I really wish he'd calm down, compose his thoughts and proof read his posts.
Edge, let's pretend for a second that you are right and that there is a God somewhere out there. He created life, the universe and everything from scratch and is all knowing, etc. A being like that would be so far beyond us we couldn't communicate with them in any meaningful way, even attempting to fathom him would... well, I think Lovecraft pegged it. The person who tries it would be driven mad. |

I think it's hard to be bullied by being mislabled and by being threatened with supernatural punishment. Most of us non-religious types find such epithets amusing and ridiculous. If it makes a rabid theist happy to call me a worshipper of something I don't even believe in... well... I say let them have their small happiness and illusions of superiority. They don't have much else.

my personal favorite is when the rabid christian fundamentalists say you will 'burn in hell forever for not believing', and when you call them out threatening you with hellfire they reply
"It is not a threat, but a warning from my god of the bible" Yea, sure, keep telling yourself that, pal

It's not Edge's (and others like Limbo) words that I find offensive, it's more their posting styles and their posting attitudes.
They could write, but they sploodge — word vomit with narry a backspace or word-check in sight. They could read other's posts, but they skim and fly off the handle. They could show some restraint, but they wildly lurch in all directions. They could try to meet us halfway, they could aim for some kind of accord, but they just want to degrade and confuse and preen. They could learn from what they have endlessly been taught, instead they goldfish it and come back clueless on every circuit of the bowl. I know I should look upon that kind of posting with pity and compassion, but it seems I am not that grown up yet. That's why, I am fairly sure, these kinds of threads head towards temper rather than concord. |
