Stop going off topic to suit your argument. I have been trying to let you

know it isn’t like you think it is.
I don't have to IMPLY, I say it like it is. If you want to read into it more then there is, go for it.

And since when are you on the topic.

You guys talk as if your so-called god is beyond understanding, and next you start to tell us about it. You don't seem to understand how much it wrong with that thinking and/or lack of thinking.

It is not a clarification, it only shows me how you think.

You have not experienced both sides, stop lying to yourself.

Your god of the bible is anything but holy, and has shown this time and time again in the bible.

Just look at the story of Adam and Eve. Two people that didn't know good from bad and then are judged as if they did. And your god of the bible makes the so-called children responsible too. That my friend is anything but holy.

Edge "without respelling your name" why do you support such a primitive idea of what a god can be, and why do you think you aren't worthy of a much better god.

Paul

What lies you perpetuate.

We the ability to create, to have a sense of justice, intercede when someone

is at risk from someone’s crimes, rescue, show mercy, forgive - these alone

place him far above the animals,

perhaps even the angels. Man is, surprisingly, quite Godly. Furthermore,

man has the ability to have a relationship with God. Man has the ability to

receive the Holy Spirit - God Himself.

Finally, man is destined for immortality, so where do you get that we are not

important? Where do you not see a plan for us? the whole thing is about our

salvation.

So you buy into that, I feel sorry for you.

As for the salvation, that didn't happen when the church ruled Europe and/or anywhere else. I only took the rights of people away from them and made them into robots and kept us from the stars.

I can't insult something that isn't edge, the god of the bible isn't and therefore there are no plans.

So, because you believe in this god of the bible, I can't say what I think of it. Sorry, that is not how it works.

Anyone can say they speak for the god of the bible and/or any other god. For one thing is sure, that god will not say anything about it.

"I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.."

Now do I have to say who said that in his book?

What, did that shoot over your head.

People go out of their way to kill others in war and for other things. How does that make us better then animals.

And I fell for what system edge, I didn't have the right to vote in the system. It was 21 when I went in, I was 19.

Quit whinning.
Exactly what is written... is and has been happening, so what?

You could have fought it. All you had to do was go to school...

My people seen through that; Fascism and communism and any other lie

coming down the pike.

Even he Hitler was predicted in 1909 or so and many more things.

For you to think there is no God or relationship that's your choice.

I am positive also the atheist view -point based on your kind of hate is worse

than any other, I'm not falling for any political power that has hate.

Comparing Hitlers' primitive Brain with believers is just wrong.

Your buddy started it. There is only one difference between believers and

skeptics, so don't even go there just stop with these lies in comparision you make.

Yes edge, the killing of people is OK, it was done so many times in the bible.

When the god of the bible doesn't get it's way, the killing begins. That has been it's one sure plan to fix things.............. again and again and again.

Anyone notice that Edge's posts are getting less lucid and more personal? At this rate it'll be a Novest level meltdown.

Wisdom = Sophia ( σοφία greek) = Khokmah (חוכמה Hebrew) = Sabientia (latin)


All feminine nouns in all three languages.

In fact you might find that in many of the languages that have gendered nouns it is feminine.... e.g. Sabiduría in Spanish.


Also in Greek she is a Goddess.... in Agnosticism too.

In fact in the bible it is almost a goddess too...but it is definitely attributed some kind of entity-like being.

Edge, I called God and asked about her plans. She said "They are none of your business!". I said, "But that guy Edge says he knows them!". She laughed and said: "Edge doesn't have a clue, don't pay any attention to him".

Jesus himself, according to scripture, supported the O.T. 100%, as explained in this article. Edge, why do you ignore Christ's command to follow O.T. laws?

Respect has to be earned. The farrago of nonsense known as the bible has done nothing to earn my respect,

It still doesn't chance the fact that both sides said the god of the bible was on their side in the war.

Salvation, Jesus didn't say anything against the O.T. for one.

Also don't quote anything from the O.T. from now on and just cherry-pick the N.T.

Of course if you don't misquote the O.T., Jesus can't be your savior.

Paul

I have experienced both sides and one is malevolent and one is benevolent,

with a good outcome with great information.
So, it is the result that tells you if it's good or bad? 20/20 hindsight's not very impressive.

Gee, if I were Satan, I'd give my followers good results. That would fool them. Satan's not powerful enough to trick you with good results? What a pussy.

I, for one, like the Bible fonts on Edge's postings.

That's what Atheists need -- our own character font.

Why are you playing the feminist card? The Bible unambiguously treats women as inferior to men in many, many parts we can cherry-pick. What was God's plan when He sent the serpent to tempt Eve?
