Three Big Questions to Ask Yourself

[sychospy]

Aren't those questions the basis of Filosophy?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Who are you?---Just a big piece of carbon and other stuff.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. What are you doing here?---W8ing the moment to start breeding.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. What is your purpose?---Reproduce to keep alive the race.

[TheLastTemplar]

1. Who are you?---Not your name or subjective opinions about you. Who are you?

 

 

 

-I am a child of the Almight God. Bought with a price. And dedicating my life to the Glory of His name.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. What are you doing here?---Not at the computer. On Earth. What is the point of you living? Wont there always be someone to take your place?

 

 

 

-I am here to Glorify God in all my actions.I am here by the AMAZING GRACE of God. All of which I do NOT deserve.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. What is your purpose?---This question is linked to number 2. Pretend there is a man behind you shouting "WHY" after everything you say. Look as deep as you can.

 

 

 

-My purpose is to ENJOY God forever and ever as His child.

Do you understand what you just said in your answers? I sure as hell didn't.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No, not in the sense that you're wrong, but in the sense that there's no way in hell that anyone would know what [a] God wants us to do or what it is.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I agree with Edward Elric. Hiding behind the religious bs riddles that you don't even understand isn't a proper answer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No, I'm not an atheist :roll: .

That is because you obviously do not understand the Christian religion.

 

 

 

And Yes, I do understand what this means.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-1 Corinthians 1:18 "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now it is wether you believe this or not.

[Rebdragon]

Quite vague, just like the phrasing of your first post.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Define "the message of the cross" perfectly, and I'll admit that your answer isn't vague.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Come to think of it, define what that whole verse means to the point where there's no disagreement about it.

It amazes me how people can be so incredibly sure of god's intentions and purpose for us as the bible was not written by him. Therefore, you're placing all your trust in the imperfection of mankind and assuming they documented and translated everything precisely, and made no errors or omissions be they intended or accidental. Full marks for being trustworthy though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This reminds me of a rather funny joke by Bill Hicks. I'll run over the gist of it:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bill's father is a christian and believes the bible is the literal word of god, word for word. Bill says he can prove to his dad that it's not. He asks his dad to read the front cover of the bible. Bill's dad obliges and reads "Holy Bible" (depicted by Bill in a hilarious southern accent). Bill then sais "what else does it say?" Bill's dad replies "King James' Version." :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Haha, it's one of those things you have to see, trust me it's funny. Give "Bill Hicks" a search in Youtube. Great stuff.

It amazes me how incredibly ignorant people are to not understand the meaning of the word "believe". It isn't word for word. It is the message. By the way, I am not Christian.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good joke though.

[Blue_Eggz]

Who are you?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A male kid.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What are you doing here?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Typing. Playing Runescape.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is your purpose?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Runescape.

[Rebdragon]

 

Do you understand what you just said in your answers? I sure as hell didn't.

So do I. Doesn't mean I'm arrogant enough to think I know what that God is or wants.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It amazes me how incredibly ignorant people are to not understand the meaning of the word "believe". It isn't word for word. It is the message. By the way, I am not Christian.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good joke though.

 

 

 

But the message is so elaborate, so fuzzy, so complex and blurred by man's opinions and translaton that no one can understand it fully and be right, and still prove to everyone else that they're right.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, and in my personal opinion, we need to believe in something to survive, but the odds of us being right are so slim that we really shouldn't trust too much in those beliefs.

But the message is so elaborate, so fuzzy, so complex and blurred by man's opinions and translaton that no one can understand it fully and be right, and still prove to everyone else that they're right. Formulate your own translation? Actively search. The point is not to prove to others your belief is right. That is impossible.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, and in my personal opinion, we need to believe in something to survive, but the odds of us being right are so slim that we really shouldn't trust too much in those beliefs. So you think we need to believe but shouldn't because it's probably wrong? What is the point of finding a belief but then not pursuing it because you aren't sure?

[Rebdragon]

I don't follow any dang religion. I have my own personal belief and opinion of what God is, and it's no where close to the Christian belief of what It (or "He") is.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And for the last time, I nor anyone should know what God wants. We can think that we know what It wants, and get pretty close sometimes, but there's no way in hell that anyone here knows what It wants.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I'm just saying that yes we should follow our beliefs, but don't be arrogant to think that you know you're 100% right and everyone is wrong. Beliefs are, in all honesty, nothing more than guesses and hypothesises.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Basically, follow your belief and defend it, but don't be so stupid as to go die for it. It's a frikking guess.

1. Cool youro wn belief.

 

 

 

2. I never said anyone should. But you should do what (you think) God wants you to do. It's a given that you aren't sure 100%, but that is where beliefs come in.

 

 

 

3. I never said to die for it. I said to live for it.

[moose585]

1. Who are you?---Not your name or subjective opinions about you. Who are you?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm a 15 year old teenager in search of a job that will fufill me for the rest of my time here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. What are you doing here?---Not at the computer. On Earth. What is the point of you living? Wont there always be someone to take your place?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Im searching for where i belong and why i don't already

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. What is your purpose?---This question is linked to number 2. Pretend there is a man behind you shouting "WHY" after everything you say. Look as deep as you can.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My purpose is still unknown as i am still in the early stages of growth, but as i become older my initial purpose will be revealed.

[Rebdragon]

1. Cool youro wn belief.

 

 

 

2. I never said anyone should. But you should do what (you think) God wants you to do. It's a given that you aren't sure 100%, but that is where beliefs come in.

 

 

 

IF you don't know what your religion wants from you, then you are doing a lousy job following it. You should know what God wants.

 

 

 

And for the record, I'm not following someone elses belief blindly, especially since my own opinion about God is completely different. That's why I pointed out that I don't follow the Christian view of God.

 

 

 

---

 

 

 

3. I never said to die for it. I said to live for it.

 

 

 

That means their life is God. They live and die for God.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I smell contradiction.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I hope you realize that beliefs are subject to change through analysis. I used to believe in the Christian God. Through analysis though, my view changed, and I saw God very differently. There's no way of knowing if I'm right then, now, ever, or never. That's why I live to defend my belief, but not to be so narrowminded as to not think I could be wrong.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back to the first point... Templar, can you tell me what those verses mean, without any level of disagreement from others? Still waiting.

[TheLastTemplar]

Quite vague, just like the phrasing of your first post.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Define "the message of the cross" perfectly, and I'll admit that your answer isn't vague.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Come to think of it, define what that whole verse means to the point where there's no disagreement about it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Message of the Cross: God created the world. Man Fell into temptation due to sin. God promises a saviour in Genesis, that will come from the line of Judah((sp) Gen, 3:15) and will come to take man's sin on Himself. The Nation if Israel is Born through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who is later renamed 'Israel'(or one who struggles with God for he wrestled with an angel of the Lord and got the angel to bless him). Israel means one who struggles with God.Israel falls away from God and God raises up Judges to bring Israel back to Him. But They Keep falling away due to sin.After the Glorious reigns of David and Solomon, Rehoboam takes over and the Nation of Israel. Under he rule Israel splits into 2 nations, Judah and Israel. Judah remains some-what faithful to God with a few exceptions. Israel falls away from God with 4 exceptions. Israel and Judah are taken over By Assyria and Babylon. Assyria and Babylon are taken over by the Persians. God raises up prophets to remind Israel that God loves them and wants them to come back to Him. And He still keeps promising a Savior. JUdah and Israel have problems with their sin and fall away. God remains silent for 400 years.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-New Testament-

 

 

 

The virgin mary receives word from God, that She will bear the savior of the world. Jesus is born around 3 B.C. MUch of Jesus childhood is not recorded in the bible, so we do not know what he was like. At about 30 years old Jesus starts His ministry by calling the 12 disciples. Once he has done this Jesus starts performing miracles. He starts teaching on the Kingdom of God. He teaches on mans original sin. HE teaches of the wickedness of man and the loving kindness of God. Jesus also talks about the wrath of God. The wrath that will be poured out on Him when He dies on the cross.During this time the Pharisees (a sect known for its righteouness) plots to kill Jesus for his repeadid attack on the Pharisees for being self-righteous. One night Jesus is taken away by the pharisees and Brought before pilate. Pilate "washes his hands" and symbolizes that he has nothing to do with the final say on Jesus. The Jews at this point, beat Jesus and strips on Him of His clothes.the take the son of God, up to a hill called Calvary or Golgotha. Here the Jesus teh Very Son of God, God Himself, takes on the Punishment for our sins. He is NAILED to the cross, and has a crown of Thorns placed on His Head, above the cross a Roman gaurd places the sentence, Jesus King of The Jews in Hebrew, Greek and Latin. Jesus hangs on the cross for a few minutes and the HE GIVES UP HIS SPIRIT and dies. The Wrath of Almighty God, had been poured out on His very Son. At this there was a great earthquake. The veil in the temple was torn from top to bottom symbolizing that Jesus was now our mediator between God and man. After this, Jesus was taken down and buried in Joseph of Arimathea tomb. Three days later Jesus arose from the dead. His Disciples found His tomb empty and reported it to others. Jesus appears to 500+ people before he ascends into heaven on the Mount of Olives.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so Basically the Message of the Cross is this. Man Is tainted by Sin, Jesus who was born without sin, SUffered bled and Died for the Sins whom he has purchased. even More basic, God Loves you and "He sent his only son, that whosoever believes in Him will not Perish but have everlasting life."-John 3:16

[TheLastTemplar]

1 Corinthians 1:18-For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

this means that If you are not one of God's elect, the fact that Christ Died on the cross for our sins and arose 3 days later is stupidity,foolishness, does not make sense, dumb.

 

 

 

To those of us who are God's elect, it is the Grace and the Power of Jesus Christ to save us from Hell. That He picked me, an undeserving, wretched, terrible boy(i'm only 15), to be His chosen child. Nothing I did will ever EARN me a place in Heaven. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faithÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ã

-------------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

There will always be disagreement.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is vague because you DO NOT understand it.

[Rebdragon]

So let me get this right:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Some Bible history, more history of the Hebrews, more stuff that has nothing to do with our purpose... moving on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Talking about how the Bible describes Jesus, what he did in his life, how he died, some more stuff everyone knows... more Christian belief, and exit Bible quote."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To be honest, it sounds like another, "Everyone but us almighty Christians are going to Hell" thing. Is that what you're getting at? Your purpose is to follow Christian belief, in order to avoid the human constructed idea of Hell?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dude, I've spent the past 7 years of my life having Christianity shoved down my throat, both at school and church. Don't throw that typical Christian "you don't understand it" answer at me.

well, you don't understand.

 

 

 

As far as I'm concerned you have just proved 1 Cor. 1:18.

 

 

 

And Acording to the Bible those who believe in Jesus Christ as their personal saviour will NOT go to Hell. Not just Christians..anyone who has been chosen by God.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nothing to do with our purpose?

 

 

 

It does. The chief end of man is this. To praise God and enjoy Him forever. The purpose of Man is to give God the glory. That is one fo the over-arching themes of the bible. Since you think it has nothing to do with our purpose, rthat means you do not understand the bible. You've read it. You've looked at it. But the Holy Spirit has not been given to you. So, naturally you are going to say," I was tought Christianity, therefore I understand it, I understand the bible(I'm not saying you do, I'm just making a point)"but if have been tought something and yet have no desire to get into it then you will resent it.

 

 

 

Christianity can be compared to a woman and child birth.

 

 

 

Those who are women and know what child-birth is like, know that no man will ever know what it feels like to give birth.

 

 

 

It's similair to Christianity/Those who believe in the fact that if you are not a True Christian you will never understand what I am talking about.

I see brainwashing, religious riddles, and an arrogance about one's opinion of God all in one post. Seems like we're back where we started.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I mean, it does sound like you think I'm going to hell for

 

 

 

not being filled with the "Holy Spirit" (which I'm sure neither you or I fully understand), having no desire to agree with something that I've learned and come to disagree with, and to top it all off, not understanding the Bible like you, the almighty one who is greater than me, do.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, and with all the atheists and anti-religion peeps on this forum, prepare for pain, if anyone cares enough.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, and try defining "chosen by God" for me, wudja?

1. Cool youro wn belief.

 

 

 

2. I never said anyone should. But you should do what (you think) God wants you to do. It's a given that you aren't sure 100%, but that is where beliefs come in.

 

 

 

IF you don't know what your religion wants from you, then you are doing a lousy job following it. You should know what God wants.

 

 

 

And for the record, I'm not following someone elses belief blindly, especially since my own opinion about God is completely different. That's why I pointed out that I don't follow the Christian view of God.

3. I never said to die for it. I said to live for it.

 

 

 

That means their life is God. They live and die for God.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I smell contradiction.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I hope you realize that beliefs are subject to change through analysis. I used to believe in the Christian God. Through analysis though, my view changed, and I saw God very differently. There's no way of knowing if I'm right then, now, ever, or never. That's why I live to defend my belief, but not to be so narrowminded as to not think I could be wrong.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back to the first point... Templar, can you tell me what those verses mean, without any level of disagreement from others? Still waiting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. I meant you "should not know what God wants. It is what you believe he wants". Sorry for not writing in complete sentences.

 

 

 

2. I mean they live and die for God as it is their purpose. The don't literally die for God.

I beleive God wants me to kill people who don't beleive in God! By your standards I am able to do so, because i really beleive this is what he wants.

Guna have to go with Satenza's radical Bible opinion :-w .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dark, I don't really get your first point (seems cover-upish), but I suppose I get what you're saying in the second point. Some people literally do allow themselves to be killed simply for their beliefs in God, which is what I thought you meant by saying, "dying for God". Still, "dying for God" is something I expect no human, including myself, to fully understand :-k .

Owned, darkmage. :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It amazes me how incredibly ignorant people are to not understand the meaning of the word "believe". It isn't word for word. It is the message. By the way, I am not Christian.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And what exactly do you mean by this? Some people actually do believe the bible is the literal, unedited word of god.
