moping up operations. the battles were finished.

ah that's it, sorry it wasn't a 6 day war, it was a 7 day war with moping up , which lasted one day and not 2 or 3
no , no I am not telling lies.

You don't know very much about Israel do you zorro, or the military tactics of a country, and how a country prepares its people to face an enemy , and the propaganda it uses to help give courage and strength to its armed forces and people,
It is called the 6 day war because it lasted 6 days, but at the time and for some time after it was called the 6day war, by the Israeli military and political leaders because it was part of their religious prophesies . The Israeli leaders knew this , Moshe Dayan knew this and he was clever enough to use this to strengthen the resolve of the Israelis ,
That's the history Charlie , if you care to understand what it means.

To continue your analogy zorro I think you'll find God has already abandoned us all and left us by the side of the road by the very act of forcing us into creation burdened with the guilt of a crime non of us can possibly relate to....and then serendipitouslay allow the sinful man to be the only carrier of the message of redemption or justification.

There's apparently a star around 1200 light years away doing some pretty unusual stuff that science hasn't been able to explain yet....you gunna hang your hat on that being the second coming?

Do you make false relics in your shed to help fortify faith like the others do?

mr Dustybin, the star sign is for the birth of the church just as there was one for the messiah. The baby in Virgo womb is the church. nine to ten months moving around Virgo. Conception was on nOv16.
Jesus does not touch down he meets the church in the air.

the second coming is contingent on the Anti Christ - once he CONFIRMS the covenant with many then Jesus comes back three and a half years later. So if you want to stop Jesus? Stop the AC?  if you can. It's impossible, but give it a go will you?

no grave images allowed you putz. i'm not religious. i'm just right on this. you'll find out. soon enough.

The very notion of attempting to derive a narrative out of nothing is supercilious.

We grow accustom to 'normality' due to experience. What we believe to be constant and true are only the things we witness.
That obviously means the likelihood of other things being possible to our limited knowledge is extremely likely, and we progress into the unusual slowly but surely until it becomes accepted.
This notion could mean that the perception of existence being an experiment is perfectly possible, that an entity looks to see if their preferred option is chosen without influence.

That the choice is hard and the reward great I have no problem with, the concept of punishment for not finding the meaning, I do.
All I see is men and women tell me they think they know, or that they think this is evidence.
Well I can tell them for certain that whatever they love will end, that they will feel pain and suffering and be done hardship due to the desire of their fellow man and quite possibly a result of the desire of their creator.
That all those that think they have faith which itself is just a belief in truth they can't prove will suffer these injustices, whether requested as a bi product of action, or not.
There's lays the rub......that no matter how pious, you will suffer, whether you chose the supposed correct way or not you will suffer.
You didn't request life, so suffering was given you regardless.

All the words and filler looking to justify it is meaningless.
You were made to suffer.

Botherers ffs godbotherers how the feck dou you spell godbotherers is that right

There is no sin, and there can be no sin on all the earth, which the Lord will not forgive to the truly repentant! Man cannot commit a sin so great as to exhaust the infinite love of God. Can there be a sin which could exceed the love of God? (Dostoyevsky)

yet free will bars you from Gods love, you choose not to be with him. God respects your choice. you bar yourself from heaven. God has chased you and you run away quicker than a jungle cat. (zorro)

You can not 'be truly repentant' of an act you know nothing of, nor of the nature of its transgression or the value placed upon it, to say you are is a fabrication as great in magnitude as the desire one places in faith to deliver them from suffering......from which was forced on then directly or indirectly by the one the are to ask forgiveness of......if they exist.

zorro let me make it simple for you, I don't care how many years you spent colouring in maps of the Middle East .
This is how it works:
The 6 day war lasted 6 days
Moshe Dayan and Israeli military and political leaders knew of a religious prophesy of a 7day war to determine Israels fate as a nation .
During the war Israeli leaders , and in particular Moshe Dayan used this prophesy to strengthen the courage of the Israeli army and people
That is why at the time of the war and for some time after it was called the 7 day war.

ps Dayan wanted to try the same trick in the Yon Kippur war when after the disasterous first two days he wanted to announce that this was the fall of the third temple, but was stopped from talking by Golda Meir.

So that was how the prophesies worked, and they did work, Israel prevailed
They won the 7 day war, in 6 days

no, no, they were not telling lies.

I seem to remember that when Gorbachev first appeared as the leader of Soviet Russia some religious types took one look at the mark on his head and promptly announced that he was the new anti christ as prophesied in  revelation :)

It was that birthmark on his noggin, that was all it took to set them off .
that's been forgotten now, by zorro?, perhaps Gorby will make a comeback.

"hell is other people"

U.A.

That's an easy one.
The latter.

Ofc the question was phrased from the perspective of a fallible human not an omnipotent being.
So why should it be either or if you can do anything?

What purpose did the tree of life and knowledge serve other than to NOT have its fruit eaten?

Enter Polonius:
God bless you sir

Hamlet: do you see younger cloud that's almost in shape of a camel?
Polonius: by the mass ''tis like a camel indeed

Hamlet: methinks it is like a weasel
Polonius: it is backed like a weasel

Hamlet: or like a whale
Polonius: very like a whale.

Both the tree of life and the tree of knowledge has been used.

Jesus hung on the tree of life, through this action we have immortal life. All who call on his name and believe in him put on immortality, a new glorified body.
I personally reconciled myself to death being an atheist for 25 years, and see immortality as the frightening prospect but God does say it's going to be unimaginable? It's not going to be an add on to this life. It's not angels and harps and philidelphia cheese. No human mind has imagination to match it.

to answer the question put to me - I'm not religious because i'm not part of a religion. I'm part of God and the truth. The world and everyone else is not part of God until they accept him. Even after the rapture some are reconciled to him.

look at that picture below - Jupiter, the sun, mercury,mars, venus and Regulus(brightest star in leo)? are all in a straight line.
