Thank you very much Mr. Much. Your Christian Charity is almost overwhelming. Over the years it has surprised me that you have not yet deemed yourself worthy of accepting Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, into your heart.

Re: False Religions And Cults

Hello im Jamie...I am curious where does it state in the bible that red hair means evil? Is ot only naturally red hair?

Hello Jamie,


I bid you welcome to the forum. Whilst you ask the right questions you have yet to make a formal introduction. There is a whole area of the forums dedicated specifically to this activity. I hope you enjoy your sojourn here and feel the joy of having Jesus fill you with His Spirit.

Also, hello and to the forum. An introduction would be nice (in the surprisingly aptly named Introduction Forum).

von Neumann was an extraordinarily brilliant man as anyone can check.

And does his supposed brilliance somehow reflect back on you?


Ted Kennedy was an influential politician. My former husband once threw up on Ted Kennedy's shoes. Does that bestow influence and power upon me?

Re: False Religions And Cults

Many peer reviewed articles have been proven later to be false.

Please eradicate all vain scientific thoughts from your mind and accept the Holy Bible as the perfect and infallible Word of God!

AMEN! Science is naught but a Man-Made religion to thwart the Holy Gospel and convert members in hopes that the more people who sin, the less guilty they will feel. The ONLY source of information that has never been proven wrong is the Holy Word of God, the King James Bible!

Glory!

This poor rube is a fantastic illustration of the insidious power of the Romanist Church to dupe the intellectual wanna-be by throwing all kinds of secular buzzwords at him until he believes himself to be clever! What a great time Satan will have ripping his rectum up from the inside out with his great, barbed tallywhacker! And what joy we True Christians™ will have sitting with Christ and laughing as we watch him eat justice served on a Hot Plate of PAIN for all eternity (Psalms 2:4)!

[Basilissa]

Re: False Religions And Cults

Many peer reviewed articles have been proven later to be false.

Sweetie, in a single sentence you managed to capture the essence of everything that is wrong with science.

Science is not stable. Science changes all the time. The medicines of yesteryear are seen as a quackery today, and the medicines of today will be seen as quackery in the future. Even worse, science doesn't even strive to achieve Absolute Truth™, and just circles around interpretations derived from available data.

And that fallibility of science is exactly the reason why you should not waste any more time pursuing it, but rather reject all of it and accept the Holy Bible literally, as is, including:

1. Creation of the world and all life in it in six days; Genesis 1:1-31. (It's a long and well-known passage, so I won't quote it).

2. An insightful variation of the Lamarckian view of inheritance of acquired characteristics - in this case, the characteristics are acquired from plants that the animals were looking at the time of engaging in offspring production:

Genesis 30:37-41
37 And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
38 And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.
39 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
40 And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban's cattle.
41 And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.

3. The Truth™ about insects having four legs, no more than that:

Leviticus 11:21-22
21 Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;
22 Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.

4. The Truth™ about Sun and Moon being able to stop their daily track around the earth (and whoever told you about the Earth revolving around the Sun, please remember what you said about peer reviewed articles. They are just dead wrong):

Joshua 10:13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

5. The Truth™ about Earth being flat (Job 28:24, Job 38:13, Isaiah 11:12, Revelation 7:1).

6. The Truth™ about unicorns roaming the Earth (Job 39:9-12).

I know, I know. Some of these Biblical Truths™ are a hard pill to swallow. You need to take a deep breath, kill your common sense, and trust God:

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Remember that learning is bad for your health and spiritual wellbeing:

Ecclesiastes 12:12-13
12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

von Neumann was an extraordinarily brilliant man as anyone can check.

And that was the biggest obstacle for him to be Saved. Smart people with their logic and rational thinking are the problem; believing the Bible with all your heart contrary to logic and rational thinking is the only solution.

1 Corinthians 2:5-8
5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

1 Corinthians 3:18-20
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

Please eradicate all vain scientific thoughts from your mind and accept the Holy Bible as the perfect and infallible Word of God!

Re: False Religions And Cults

Why did he call a Catholic priest to pray for him? Why specifically someone of that belief since his family was Jewish and went to Lutheran schools?

Just more evidence of his agnosticism.

He knew the Jewish tradition, having been raised in it, and doubted that enough not to call a rabbi.

He knew the Protestant tradition, having been educated by them, and doubted that enough not to call a minister.

So he checked in with the Catholics on a last shot before death (that he really wasn't dealing well with), and doubted that enough to still fear death.

Yet you persist in claiming him an adherent to a religion that guarantees life everlasting, in return for mere belief.

Mark 16:16 "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned."

Re: False Religions And Cults

Yes. Assuming he was, how does that make his Faith better than that of others? How many people of "lesser intellect" should we recruit to have as much intellect as his? Because, you know, there are testimonies that oppose his testimony. How many of those opposing testimonies do we need until he's proven wrong? Please give us an approximate number.

I ask you one more time to drop the compulsive name-dropping. I'm not interested in Mr. von Neumann. I am interested in you! I am interested in assisting you in your quest.

Do you think that evidence is based on observations or the person presenting it? Please do not include any personal names of references to any names in your reply. Please do not change the subject with your attempts at the Gish Gallop. We're not discussing the merits of anyone, we never were doing that with you. We're discussing the foundations of faith and the foundations of methodological naturalism. You reply above is just a combination of an appeal to authority, personal opinion, and appeal to popularity and "common sense". Please try to answer a question and not avoid it.

Does the past history of a person matter in these cases? Jesus did not think so. Here's a verse from a well-known story.

Matthew 8:10
When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.


Yours in Christ,

Re: False Religions And Cults

The homemade wine I have tasted in Eastern Europe was somewhat watery and unlike the wine which is sold in stores. Slivovitz or fruit brandy, made from plums, is much stronger.

Hello Tommy,


Did you know that wine and brandy are two totally different things?
One is produced through fermentation and settling and the other is produced through, yes go on, think about it, fermentation, settling and then distillation.


I have not gone into any detail as I am going to wait for you to elucidate us all on the subject.


I pray you give a coherent and biblically correct response.

Re: False Religions And Cults

OK, how many "lesser human beings" would be required to make up for one von Neumann? 3? 5? 10? >54?

Re: False Religions And Cults

Pence, Beck and Albright are not in the same league as the individuals I mentioned. Please investigate the life of John von Neumann.

OK, how many "lesser human beings" would be required to make up for one von Neumann? 3? 5? 10? >54? In which manner is the conversion of one human being of less significance the the conversion of another? Does Jesus really appreciate the intellect of von Neumann more than the intellect of a New England fisherman? Obviously, you do.

Romans 2:10-12
But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: For there is no respect of persons with God. For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;

Isn't it interesting that for once both secular science and the Bible agree. The actions and the content determine the validity of evidence, not the person. Similarly, is the validity of a theory in secular science determined by vote or by the number of professors accepting it? You never answered the question if you had an idea what we're trying to tell you.


Yours in Christ,

Elmer
