John 12 also says that God had blinded their minds and hardened their hearts (John 12:40-42). If “God” in 2 Corinthians 4:4 is satan, then the only conclusion is that God and satan are in league together blinding the minds of men.–kjThis is an interesting point. Ok. Is there anyone who understands grammar and can say whether his argument about…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ Oct. 17 2012,09:10)The problem Tim is when you discount God, you are then forced to believe that everything came from nothing which is impossible, or from an eternal thing that has no life or intelligence, yet produced it anyway.You need to take a few steps back because your myth idea is blinding you from the glaring obvious.T8,…[Read more]

“Or better yet, why does the question “Is there a God?” arise to every person?”This question occurs to every person who was raised with parents who believed in god. I do not think this question occurs to much of the world: the Muslim, communist, type countries, I don't think it occurs to them to ask this question.

“I wanted to ask, why do you “think” that humans believe in God?”I think MOST humans believe in god for the same reason that children grow up believing in Santa Claus–they believe their parents, find the belief comforting, emotionally supportive. And of course I would think he would say that humans are genetically programmed to find patterns…[Read more]

Ive often wondered and admired at how puddles fit the holes they are in so perfectly. Another miracle that cannot be explained.There was a study that just came out showing that in the past 6 years, athiests as a group have increased by 500%, going from 1% to 5% in the US, if I remember. (Can someone find this study)

I find it irritating when someone creates a thread that you can't comment in, but I do understand the idea behind it. Anyway, first scriptures lightenup used:Mark 13:32Aramaic Bible in Plain English (©2010)But of that day and of that hour no man knows, neither the Angels of Heaven, neither The Son, but The Father only.”New International Ve…[Read more]

Terrarica, there is a huge difference between being “mighty” (powerful, strong, etc) and being ALL mighty. If you are almighty, you are of course a mighty one (a god). If you are a mighty one, that doesn't mean you are almighty though.Examples: angels were called gods. (mighty ones.) But they aren't almighty.Israelite judges were called gods.…[Read more]

Ed, this is the definition of “god” that you gave earlier:”Creator of the universe – father to believers – mightiest of all to those who consider Him an enemy.”You also say:When ĔL-ō-Hêêm is used in reference to “JEHOVAH GOD” – it means “Almighty”When ĔL-ō-Hêêm is used in reference to ALL OTHERS – it means “mighty one”.I take it you have rej…[Read more]

Quote GOD ALMIGHTY is a father to all–TerWe are now getting off topic, but John 8:44 says: “you belong to your father, the devil….”You can use the word “father” in the sense of “creator” as in giver of life, as you perhaps are, or you can use that word in the way John 8:44 does, and as perhaps Ed is.Problem solved. Back to Ed's definition of…[Read more]

Quote And, secondly, I would accept it if you could give a plausible explanation for why you cannot see gods with the unaided eye. Stu, I am curious what your thoughts are on extra spacial dimensions. If you believed there were more dimensions, that would be a “plausible explanation” as to why you can't see “gods.”Anyone, or anything in that 4th,…[Read more]

Is there any way to determine what the common people spoke back there at that time? It almost seems odd to me that it's not easier to figure this out, or that somewhere, some ancient didn't say what they were written in.

Ed, I think I already gave this as an example, but when 1 Cor 4:4 (or maybe 2 cor….no, I think 1 cor) says: “the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers…,”1. were you thinking this refers to your definition (Jehovah)2. if not, how does your definition apply to this instance were “god” is used?
