    The way I understand it is that you are supposed to use you apparent "Earthly free will" to allign with "Gods will" , Upon which you are supposed to be freed from your mortal bonds and reunite with your True/Higher Self.


    As always at this point I cant go on because I have noticed that only a very few posters seems to understand my understanding of "God". Not that my word is final by any means - it takes all of us to put our pieces of the "Great Jigsaw Puzzle" into place.

    And when we come to notions of "True Self" or "Higher Self" , we muddy the waters even more, as waves of crossed and mixed up views start to form, and , hopefully some one with a decent sense of humour will post something to relieve the tension that is sometimes accosiated with talking about "heavy" stuff.

    (A big part of the problem is our misunderstanding of linguistics. I know that in a higher dimension ,(heaven), there is no conflict and hence there is no need for concepts such as "higher"" , or "heavier" ,etc. As to what awaits I couldn't put it into words, and even that would be the slightest of glimpses.)

    So? No one cares what you think.

    did you ever think to actually take me up on some of my points, perhaps using scripture as some sort of debating device, or whatever?

    If you think that you can just keep repeating the same thing and convince people that that you have your finger on the "truth" then you are more far-gone than I thought.

    How so? Not following your "logic" here.

    Satan must have had free will in order to rebel against God. Satan had proof of God and yet also had free will. Ther ...[text shortened]... s in the sky into a message from him in every language on the planet. Simples.

    Oh good grief. Do I really have to hold your hand and talk you through what I meant? It seems obvious on the face of it.

    Free Will is only an option for those who have not already made their choice. For those who have made their choice, seeing God appear before them is not going to change their mind. Those who hate God will still hate God, those who love God will still love God. Incontrovertible proof of God will only negate the Free Will of those who have not already chosen. I thought that was fairly obvious. God cannot prove Himself to those who have not made their choice because it negates their Free Will. Those who have already chosen have already exercised their Free Will. It cannot be negated, they've already exercised it. Furthermore, those who have chosen God do not need further proof of His existence, and those who have chosen against God do not deserve proof of His existence.

    Only if he chooses to.

    There's a point, does god have free will? Can he choose to do something other than all this prophesy malarkey? Suppose he says "Hang all that rubbish in Revelation, I fancy a holiday in the next galaxy", is there anything to stop him just buggering off and leaving us to get on with it?

    I was pleased when I saw this thread, If DNA and the periodic table are 'divine' then there is almost nothing to argue about....

    On DNA being proof of god welll, hmmm. But carbon does have strange properties compared to all the other elements, in chemistry you have inorganic (the periodic table) and organic (carbon based) chemistry, carbon is so versatile it takes up half the subject. There are some who think its is almost like its designed for creating life...

You apparently think of faith as jumping off a high mountain with only the belief that you will land safely. A faith of stupidy.

    Many people believe in evil-lution without seeing the proof. So there is not a requirement to see anything as proof to believe something. However, I consider it stupid to put one's faith in something without at least some sort of convincing proof. Just seeing a magic trick that convinces one that something is true is more logical to me than seeing nothing at all.

    Many people believe in a bunch of inconsistent fairy tales without any proof of them being true. I think you are mixing up evidence and proof. You will find it difficult to prove any scientific theory or any religious idea but you can find evidence for or against. I suggest you try to find some evidence instead of blathering on about non-existent proofs.

    I don't recall if there is an actual statement saying "demons are rebelled angels", but I figured it out using logic. Everything God made was good in the beginning and since Lucifer (Satan) was the first rebellious angel and is called the devil, because he is ruler over the remaining rebellious angels, who are also called devils or demons, because of their torment of humans.
