Thomas Paine, Influential philosopher

[NickHassan]

Hi KJ,
Your fears are unfounded.
God's ways are those of peace.

Others?
Isaiah 59:8
The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.

[kejonn]

What fears? The God I know doesn't use fear.

[NickHassan]

Hi KJ,
Peace?
Thomas Paine spent 10 years in jail for sedition did he not.

[kejonn]

Who knows. Didn't Paul spend time in prison, so your point is?

[NickHassan]

Hi KJ,
God broke down the walls or led his people from behind prison doors.
Truth is not confined if God is the deliverer and has work to be done.

[kejonn]

Paul was supposedly beheaded according to tradition. So much for deliverance.

[NickHassan]

Hi KJ,

His work was done and his joy was to be with his Lord.

[kejonn]

So do you look forward to death? Just curious.

[NickHassan]

Hi KJ,
Yep.
But hey I have a few more grandchildren to meet so no hurry.

We should not fear god but his followers, for they are the ones who can blow others to kingdom come.

I wonder if, when the fundamentalists have finished with it, we might have our planet back, what's left of it…

Looking forward to an afterlife can take away from your life here. This is not a positive, fulfilling approach IMHO.

Greetings KJ…..Good question….The answer is simple..He Is God…he does things in his own time not ours….I would think that this period of time we are now in could very well be the time his plan dictates as being the time for his government,because,as you can plainly see we have made a fine mess of things and if he does nothing we could very well destroy ourselves and HIS creation….In closing I must say that organized religion has played a key role in creating the mess Iam speaking about…

Yes, specifically fundamentalist christianity – the sects that attempt to follow the contents of scripture most closely. The closer they are, the bigger the mess. The same is true for islam, of course.
