Signs Of Much Greater Importance

[goodlife]

When Jesus Christ was on earth, he gave his listeners a lesson in observing signs and acting accordingly. He was talking about something of far-reaching importance. The Bible reports: “The Pharisees and Sadducees approached him and, to tempt him, they asked him to display to them a sign from heaven. In reply he said to them: ‘When evening falls you are accustomed to say, “It will be fair weather, for the sky is fire-red”; and at morning, “It will be wintry, rainy weather today, for the sky is fire-red, but gloomy-looking.” You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but the signs of the times you cannot interpret.’”—Matthew 16:1-3
.Rve 1:1
Rev 6:1-9

//Pixie - I don't quite follow that//
oh pixie then you must be talking Pedantish !

the rules of the game are : dont use more than three words in a sentence - and if you think an eight year old can understand it then you are aiming too high

that last bit is called a paraprosdokian - pun / joke that goes against expectation.....

Ok, thanks for the advice :-). Often people just "understand" what they choose to... x

264 post of utter Shute,
You come on here night after night with your religious or non religious claptrap,
You debate,you argue,
You insult each other,
You go round in circles getting nowhere,
I must be missing something

[pixie374]

We're all off work, Jordy...

//You debate,you argue,
You insult each other//
Unlike yourself eh?

[Jordyboy9]

Surely there is a fine line between the truth and being insulting?

There is. You'll find it one day I'm sure.

When Jean-Paul Satre famously advised that "Hell is other people …" I think he had a conversation like this in mind ...

^^^quite.

Anybody who thinks there's a biblical reason to what we're facing is a certifiable dribbling mouth-breathing retard.

I can't help dribbling on my beard, or in my pants.

Let's revamp the thread.
Do you believe in evil?
I do.
In particular child murders.
That is pure evil.
Yet Richard Dawkins, the belligerent world famous spokesman for atheism insists there is no good or evil. We just dance to the music of our DNA.
What do you think?

[pixie374]

I don't care what Dawkins thinks... but some things I consider evil, and yes, DNA is certainly a big factor in behaviour (just look at the difference between men and women). But people have choices too.

[Neveracrossword]

Theland, you're making baseless assertions again - ' Richard Dawkins, the world-famous spokesman for atheism'... Is it you who has decided that's his role, or have we all missed some significant event where he was appointed?
PS Who is the world-famous spokesman for Christianity? That's a mighty big role too.

[Theland]

If you consider some things evil, you must consider some things good.
Right?

[nailit]

//Let's revamp the thread//
That is, make it your thread you mean?

Why dont you start your own thread if you want to discuss Dawkins, DNA, Child murders etc instead of high jacking goodlifes thread?

[pixie374]

Yes, we all have morals, theland. You still seem to assume though, that if people don't follow a religion, that they must therefore follow something else. That's as irrational as khandro's attempt, that if you don't worship something you made up, you have to worship yourself instead.

[Theland]

Shut down by popular demand. I

[pixie374]

Wuss :-) start a thread, and we'll join in x
