Originally posted by royaltystatementIn fact, why does a person even die? Why does when people die, there body is still here to see, yet there is no life in it? What keeps that person alive? If you say their soul or their spirit, you will be varifying the fact that GOD exists. What is the force inside of us that makes us who we are? I science yet to explain that?
Allright then, what do you believe happens after a person dies?
Originally posted by dottewellSimple, you are here verifying your beliefs and the fact that your truths are valid(whatever they may be). Now, you might not believe in GOD, but you believe in what you can see, feel, touch, and taste. Yet we as Christians believe that there is a GOD because we believe that there is more to life than what a person sees, feels, touches, or tastes. In our mind and in our world God exists. It doesn't matter if anyone elise believes, because they can't live our lives for us. The same way it doesn't matter to you if we believe in a God or not because you don't. That is how our presence here proves there is a GOD, because the same way a Scientist varifies science with experiments, the same way a Christian varifies Christ with a righteous lifestyle.
Yet the very existance of Christians here proves there is a GOD.
Really? How?
I believe what I have good reason to believe.

It's called METABOLISM and it's the basic process that drives cells.
When it stops - you die.
Simple.

Because Christians believe in eternal life, or lives are shaped in righteousness because as GOD is Holy, so we must be holy. I like believing in eternal life much better than believing in nothing.
Nothing.
Other than my body begins to decay, and everyone else gets on with their life.
Originally posted by royaltystatementThen why are you so self righteous and damning of everyone eles who either believes something different or doesn't believe at all.

You make it sound like a club - anyone's free to join, they have their own rules and stuff.
But your posts show something completely different - vengefull, self-righteous, damning anyone who gets in your way.
Can't you see the huge discrepancy here?

I don't have that.
All my existence, everything I do has to count for something now while I'm alive. Because that's all there is.
Many people fear that.
I do.
I hate the fact that I'll die and be gone forever.
But I accept it. That's the way the world works. Things die.
Some don't accept and cling to contradictory belief systems as a sort of 'insurance policy'.
Good luck to you.
But I know we'll all meet the same end fate.
Originally posted by amannionI don't condemn anyone, I only state what the Bible says. The sin of blasphemy will not be forgiven and all who do it enter eternal Hell fire. I can't judge you, I can only tell you. Don't fear the person with the gun to your head, they can only kill your flesh. Fear the one who has the power the cast your soul into Hell. That is not me.

Originally posted by royaltystatementYou know, murderers throughout history have used this defence too.
I know that it is true because I know. I don't need proof or validation. Everyone who believes the Word of GOD was with GOD even before the creation of the Earth. I didn't just come to accept this, I have known it since my very existance. No validation is required because my truth was found by me to be universal.
Originally posted by royaltystatementGenetic differences account for some of these things.
Yes, but how do you explain our differences of ideals? or differences of personality? and our differences of belief?
I look different to you because of these.
But for most things it's our environment: that is, our parents, our schools, our friends, our cultures, our societies, and many other things.
All of these help to determine what we are, what we believe, and what we don't.
My Mum's a Christian.
One of my sister's is too.
My Dad's not.
My other sister's not.
I'm not.
That's the way of the world.
We choose our own path based on the experiences we've had.
Originally posted by royaltystatementGiven that I have no soul, I prefer to fear the person with the gun.

Originally posted by amannionNo we will not because you believe what you believe and I believe what I believe. Only one of us can be proven right. I bet you never died before. That is the only way you can tell me what happened after death, if you died and came back. You know the only person that does that, and he told us what can happen. It's up to you to believe him.

I guess my presence here guarantees I'm right, and that my drinking Pepsi verifies Pepsiism in the same way as a scientist verifies science with experiments.
