What Has History Has Proved?

[goodlife]

Jeremiah 10-23 Says Lord, I know that our lives do not belong to us.
We have no control over what happens.

[naomi24]

joko, exactly.

baldric, I don't think Locusts was answering for Goodlife. Locusts tends to write his own name before commenting - as in //locusts not quite right //

The 'not quite right' has come from Locusts who, as far as I can tell, in that instance is disagreeing with Goodlife.

[Baldric]

Oh, OK

[naomi24]

Confusing, eh? :o)

History has proved that man has come a long way and is still going...

Thanks you Naomi, The Bible writers were meticulously accurate. After analyzing the Bible in the light of history

The Bible writers were men from—farmers, shepherds, fishermen. Yet, what they wrote over a period of some 1,600 years has influenced more people than any other writings, ancient or modern. Furthermore, their writings have been attacked from all quarters, but in vain. (Isaiah 40:8)

@Goodlife

Your last post, once again, was a straight cut and paste job from the JW website. Once again, offered here without acknowledgement or attribution. Intellectual dishonesty.

This is the passage. from the JW site.
"The Bible writers were also meticulously accurate. After analyzing the Bible in the light of history and archaeology, writer Werner Keller said in the introduction of his book The Bible as History: “In view of the overwhelming mass of authentic and well-attested evidence now available, . . . there kept hammering on my brain this one sentence: ‘The Bible is right after all!’”
Dynamic History With Powerful Lessons
For the most part, the Bible writers were men of the earth—farmers, shepherds, fishermen. Yet, what they wrote over a period of some 1,600 years has influenced more people than any other writings, ancient or modern. Furthermore, their writings have been attacked from all quarters, but in vain. (Isaiah 40:8; 1 Peter 1:25)

Virtually word for word what Goodlife offers. But neither offer any evidence or example to support their contention - As with Goodlifes other offerngs, this is long on rhetoric, short on fact.

English as a second language is not an excuse for what I see as tawdry dishonesty. Unacknowledged cut and pasting deprives the reader of the context of the original, and might even confer a degree of authority and eloquence to the person doing the cutting and pasting, and I find such practices immensely irritating, given that the responses are almost always original content, or at least offering attribution.

Goodlife, the bible writers were not meticulously accurate - far from it - but even those few lines you've posted are copied and pasted. Doesn't this mind control worry you?

joko well said naomi -
many religious zealots seem to forget that following god etc because you are too scared not to is not the same as loving god becsause you really love him.

it is like having a partner, who doesnt love you or even like you,


locusts
I think I can answer some of those questions as the father of three children
and help bring up three children

your explanation is this a little bit off the mark

if you have not had children /father


then I think you're speaking an area
where you have -- had no knowledge

but if you have had children and is the father-- you cannot tell me
that some point OF TIME
you have chastised your child for Ms. behavior

back in the '90s we had problems like this with do-gooders who said you must not smack your child

you must not chastised it or you will hurt his feelings

to meeting this is a load of rubbish
my children still love me

And you cannot tell me
at some point or sometime
that your parents
did not get angry with you for some Ms. behavior

And I've heard children even say to their parents

I HATE YOU

I've heard my grandchildren say this to their parents

as soon as they want something they come running back to their parents

even when I parents have chastised them or even smack them for a problem

So I think he your comments is a bit off the mark

[locusts]

for relationship partner.

Which is gone sour. think you need to ask yourself

WHY

specially if you're married

Whot-s gone wrong//

how can I put it right to put this spark in our relationship

That some point in time -- she -or-- he was the greatest thing on earth

so once again why..-- what is the problem------ isn't me or is a

youCommunication is in importance ingredients in a marriageand

a willingness to listen to what the other person is saying

this shows a LOVE-ING willing nest to list s

[naomi24]

Locusts, I’ll ask you again. Please do not equate your God with love. Regardless of their misdemeanours, no loving father demands worship, responds to disobedience with spite, or condemns his children for eternity. That is not love – that is tyranny.

I assume you are Muslim?

godlife //We have no control over what happens.//

Utter bullsh1t.

As always religion promotes helplessness with the single goal of harness our spirit for its own political purposes.

The greatest fools are those who imagine their flavour of religious doctrine is exempt from political motives.

goodlife #Jeremiah 10-23 Says Lord, I know that our lives do not belong to us. We have no control over what happens. #
So your GOD created all the Murderers, Rapists, Torturers, Criminals of all
kinds and all that they do/did was ordained , mapped out by your God.
They have no control over what happens.

goodlife I've had an interesting day God has ruined my dinner and given me indigestion as a dessert. My neighbour's son has just returned from
Afghanistan and he was interested to know it was God who had organised
the war and the bullet in his shoulder. He is looking forward to his next tour of duty knowing he is fulfilling God's plan, over which he has no control.
