I feel like you are on a path that lead to comments that can be offensive and offend many.

Obviously, it is not my intention to offend ... But sometimes we NEED to be 'offended' (just like we needed to be punished when we were young). Like when Jesus called the scribes & Pharisees "hypocrites," He did it so that they would be encouraged to stop acting that way!

But my end-goal is not 'to offend'; it should be to show you the right way, but I'm forced to be too defensive in showing you "your way is wrong" that I forget to show the right way.

Debate & Discuss / Am I Trying to Free God from Human Understanding or Trying to Kick God Out?

« on: February 18, 2014, 12:37:26 pm »Message ID: 852216

Of course, I think I'm trying to 'keep humans from locking God in a cage.' People (including the writer of the Epistles) think that God must exist; I think instead that He can choose to exist or not to exist as it suits Him.

But am I kicking God out of the cage? The way I see it, humanity is locked in a 'cage' (laws of Newtonian Physics-etc.) & God is free to take-on those laws or to break them or to travel totally outside their influence; but is this 'cage' His paradise? Is it a "burden" to live without such self-governing laws as gravity, friction, attraction etc.?

Might I be asking God a similar question as the one Satan asked Eve: Is it true that You can do NOTHING against the words of this book?

The truth is, God CAN defy the Bible (just like any one of us CAN defy the local law & go & steal something or mangle property or covet our neighbors' wives etc.), but God CHOOSES not to (just like we CHOOSE not to break the law ... though the reason WE so-choose is usually 'to evade punishment')

Off-Topic / Re: "Anti-Depresants May Cause Thoughts of Suicide ..." You Mean Depression WON'T?

I was just taken off of zoloft and put temporarily on citalopram. I take amityptine for my headaches. I now have to see a counselor. I have really bad anxiety/panic attacks and depression. I have to go from there. As far as suicide I wouldnt be able to do anything. Like I told the doctor I  would have to have somon else do it.

And if you experience any of the side-effects, you can blame your doctor; right?

Debate & Discuss / Re: Something My Bible-Topics Tell Me About You ... You Only Care about YOUR Kingdom

Joseph is related through Solomon (representing the Royal Line of David) Mary through Nathan (named for the prophet,making Him both Prophet and King) Women,not being allowed to be officially listed in a genealogy,caused Mary's to be placed under Josephs name.You should actually try doing some worthwhile study on how to read the Bible,since you obviously are having comprehension difficulties.

Apparently I am having comprehension difficulties since 'comprehension' apparently means "reading things that are not there" (i.e. John 3:16, where Jesus is talking about 'the role.' His disciples (& other signs etc.---forgetting for a moment that "no sign will be given") ASSIGN that role to Him later/earlier)

Religion IS cult.

Spoken like every good cult member.

I wouldn't know that.

I recommend reading Matt 23 and seeing how it may apply to you.

What do I preach that I do not practice?

I put no load on your shoulders but that which your religion claims you enjoy.

The Kingdom of Heaven is within us already; those who DENY that are the ones who shut people out of it!

All the other accusations, I HAVE leveled at myself. It's a shame that most Christians cannot. (They don't care if they're 'following Heaven's procedures right'; they're just "Hey! HEYYYYYYY! I said I LOVE JESUS; now GIMME-GIMME-GIMME!")

Your making Fusion Cash a bad place to comment. You are offensive and need to tone down your comments.

How am I doing this?

    Relocate! Because some states have too many inmates. Go where there are more jobs and opportunities for a better life.

No, I'm asking for advice TO GIVE THE DEPARTMENT-OF-CORRECTIONS.... But yeah, maybe we could ship our prisoners off to some penal colony!

Yes...go by scientific research where disease and pestilence is so widespread in spite of advances!!

Maybe they used some of those moon rocks for brains!!

Is that in response to ...

      It is up to you. Forget what the Bible says...and go by scientific research. The findings are: Vegeterians live longer!

?

But do they really live, ancmetro? Or do they just 'float in a cesspool of vegetable soup'?

I'm not!

I mean yes, I CAN spend hours-&-hours a day on FusionCash (in the forum, doing surveys & tasks, etc.); and maybe that'll get me a little bit of money every few months-or-so, but NO WAY would I make a full-time income here!

I think you are very wrong.. A doctor can only know so much about a person's body.. What they may now about one person's body will differ from another person's body that is why there is so many side effects because it depends on the diffrent types of bodies. Some may cause one thing and another may cause a diffrent thing.. It probably depends on the weight the weakness or strength of the body the blood i mean there are so many factors that determine a diffrent side effect. That's why there are so many warnings for so many side effects. Doctors don't know everything.. Sometimes things can be UNDETECTABLE at the time Or it can be something NEW and they won't know any information on it.. Sometimes life throws you a bone and sometimes it doesn't but you can't blame a over the counter drug or a list of side effects they are there for a purpose it doesn't mean your going to get those side effects.. It's warning you of The POSSIBLE side effects.

You misunderstand me. I don't think all doctors know everything about everybody's body, but rather that it's YOUR doctor's job to know everything about YOUR body (that's what you hire him for ... i.e. to 'become a doctor' by studying the common body, and to use his 'doctoral' skills to LEARN how your body is different from normal).

Your doctor is supposed to learn the chemical makeup of your body (other than what you eat, unless he's also a dietician), so HE knows which side-effects are possible for you!

What makes your words right.

Are you asking me? Practice! Practice-practice-practice! Practice makes my words right.

So if you are playing to win the game, then clicking on a corner is the better strategy while if you are playing for speed, then clicking towards the center is the best.

Sounds like I can close this discussion with that! Thanks!

That's one item on the long list of side-effects for the over-the-counter drugs sold on TV.

It always gets me how most of these drugs have side-effect lists LONGER THAN THEIR MAIN DESCRIPTIONS.

People! That's what we have DOCTORS for (or at least that was what they were for, before it became en vogue for doctors to be nothing-but-pill-pushers; but EVEN THEN, THEY are supposed to be the ones who know what-all a drug will do to you!)

We ended up getting influenza this year....not a bad case, but we're all getting it.  Starts out of nowhere, headache, then low-grade fever with some aches and TIRED!!  You sleep a few days and then it settles in the chest, coughing...wait a few more days and then a head cold-like pressure, either sinuses or earache! Not so fun!!!  Who else got it??

Not Me!

I mean, I've had it & have seasonal allergies etc.; but THIS TOO SHALL PASS
