I do find it amusing that you try to correct me, even though what I am saying supports your theology.
I think it's just a habit by now.

Is your flesh, you? Is your body, your soul? Is your body, your spirit?


false reasoning by your teachers.. Jesus teaches he has a God--so do his real teachers as well.--2Cor 1:3, 1Cor 15:24-28, 1Cor 8:6--1Peter1:3--Rev 1:6--the true gospel.

Right now, on this small, blue planet called Earth, we ARE the gods.

And we are screwing it up.

If there is no God, then religion does keep people in line and I can witness to that because I always want to do the wrong thing.

So you offer chaos and no hope?

Yeah thanks lol.

We have to consider that it could be somewhat chaotic, and trusting that God has it all in hand means that there is no hope of bringing order out of chaos.

A good deal of progress has actually been made and a human social system (not a religious one that grabs the credit for anything good that comes out of it) is what the world (in general, more or less) uses.

Yet it is far from perfect and needs a lot of improvement. Religion is not the answer and never has been. I could be wrong, but I see the hope as less religion and more rationality. I know a lot of people won't care for that.

Religion defines one’s relationship with that which one understands as a higher power or supernatural state. Members of each religion rely upon inspired scribes who can only write down what they understand or comprehend, thus are limited by their own language, experience and knowledge. No one is dismissing the inspiration, nor the lofty goal of sublime morality, but remember to excuse the factual accuracy of such writings, when transcribing that which is, by definition, about the supernatural or metaphysical nondimensional timeless realm of pure thought.

No REAL Christian would ever teach a trinity. Just because one calls themselves-Christian, doesn't make it true, even Jesus warned of that( Matthew 7:21-23)----God is one-YHVH(Jehovah)=the Father.

Any poster on CD who refers to him/herself as a Christian must be acknowledged as one.

Even JWs.
