Spreading The Word..

[ck1]

So assuming the whole jesus thing didn't happen, somebody at some point would have come up with this elaborate story, told his mates, got them on board and they they start to pass the word around. How long did it take to get from the figment of somebody's imagination to being globally recognised as a common story?

[goodlife]

Suppose that Jesus Christ were personally on earth today and were saying to a certain people : You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know. Would he be including us with himself in saying: We worship what we know? Or would he be including us with a religious group that did not know what it was worshiping?

The answers to these questions are importance today when there is being forced upon you the need to make an intelligent decision regarding whom or what you will worship.( Mic. 4:5)


People can fool himself by saying in stubborn pride and reliance upon himself: I worship no One or Nothing! I fear neither God nor man. But in course of time telltale facts will come to light to show you what you are worshiping.

Of the things you know about time, one is how it moves. It moves only in one direction, forward, and no creature can reverse the process, you can never go backward in time so as to eliminate the present as though it had never occurred.

Only fools proceeds forward, and live in the present, and not learn of the past.

True Christian know there is a future one minute from now or one year from now and that we will always progress from present to a new future,( Amos 3:7)

Goodlife, /Would he be including us with himself in saying: We worship what we know?//

No, he wouldn't. He wouldn't recognise your religion.

Even though you think Cupid (who tells us that we unwittingly worship Satan) will suffer the same fate as the atheists, can you, or she, not see that you share one fundamentally sick philosophy? No matter how genuinely benevolent or genuinely altruistic a person might be, if they don't share your beliefs you accept without question, and without any sense of moral principle whatsoever, that they are doomed. And that comes from your supposedly just God. How can that be right - or good - or just? Love for ones fellow man is the most important thing in this world - and self-obsession falls far short of that.

Actually, I don’t really know why I'm asking you. I don’t expect a straight answer.

Quite right goodlife I'm glad we agree, our future is known.
Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust, Atoms to Atoms . Welcome to eternal existence.

You have to admire cupid's style. I give him a perfectly rational, objective answer to his question and he calls it not sensible. Perhaps because he disagrees with it, I suppose.
If a man buys a 'gold' watch off a man in a pub without checking whether it is gold or not I would call him gullible. I wonder what cupid would call him.

[cupid04]

And if a person can't tell the difference between a male and a female I would say he was stoopid and in line for a nasty shock. Lol!

[naomi24]

Bearing in mind that Cupid was a bloke, not stoopid at all, but an understandable error on Chakka’s part. Perhaps a name change is in order.

[chakka35]

Thanks, naomi. But how am I to know that this poster is female when, as you say, cupid is male? Now it seems that not being telepathic is stupid! As usual an ad hominem insult instead of addressing the issue.

[naomi24]

Chakka, I don't think I've ever seen Cupid address the issue.
