      Hi sock-puppet/Muhammad-puppet

      Jesus died on the Cross for you, and for everyone else.

      He is sad that you don't trust Him.

      I Love Jesus as mentioned in the Bible.

      I am a born-again so-far-peaceful Christian.

        H friend Brenda Durham

        You say Jesus died on the Cross; What for he should die and he should be happy with?

        Do you hate Jesus that you want him dead on the Cross?

        I love Jesus and that is why I don't believe that Jews were successful in proving him a false claimant of Messenger Prophet of the Creator- God Allah YHWH.

        I love Jesus and Mary as mentioned in Quran

        Thanks

          I explained this to you in the "Posting Scripture" thread.

          It's some religions like original Judaism and Catholicism and others which portray Him still on the Cross,  and also portray Him as taking a place alongside Mary, making Him actually look secondary to his human mother.     But He is risen and alive!!!  He is the First and the Last,  the Beginning and the End,  the Alpha and Omega.  He is, even YOUR, risen Savior if you so choose to accept His offer.

            Hi friend Brenda Durham

            Jesus did not come in the beginning of the Creation; so he cannot claim to be Alpha; Jesus did not come in the end, so he is not Omega. It is wrongly ascribed to Jesus. The Creator-God Allah YHWH is the First; He existed when he did not command to Universe or liffe to come into being ; similarly he would be the End; when he will command the Universe or life to come to an end . It is the fault of the sinful scribes to  write that Jesus was Alpha and Omega. How could Jesus calim it physically when he knew and everybody knows that Jesus was not the First or the Last?

            I love Jesus and Mary as mentioned in Quran

            God bless you Brenda Durham, the Holyspirit will continue to strengthen you.
            And to you Ahmadi, it's good that you asked to know about something you virtually have no knowledge of.
            Jesus died on a cross and rose from the dead. He defeated death so that anyone (who acknowledges this TRUTH), won't have to go through all he went through. And today HE IS ALIVE AND SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER.
            Some years back, i was an atheist who never believed in anything but I have come to see Jesus Alive and at work. I have seen the sick healed, deaf ears restored, HIV/AIDS cured...and alot more.
            Am writing this with tears in my eyes because after reading this forum, I find out that A LOT OF PEOPLE STILL DON'T KNOW ABOUT JESUS.
            Consider these words carefully.
            GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

          How do you know he didn't die on the cross lol. Have you seen him and he told you over a cup of coffee lol?. I normally stay out of religious threads as everyone argues that they are correct and everyone else is wrong. However I respect everyone's opinion...so am just asking.

            I thank you for a good question.

            It is certainty of reason. If you apply reason; you could see through the things mythical and superstitious. I will Cross-examine those who are said to be eye-witnesses. They were not eye-witnesses; they lose their credulity.

          Callmeishmaelposted 5 years agoin reply to this

          Parsurrey, again you make a fundamental error in your interpretation. Did you actually say that Christ could not have died because that would have meant his enemies had power over him? That's exactly as Christ wanted it, don't you see that? In your mind, being defeated has no benefit. If you were Christian, you would know that that's exactly what Christ was trying to show us!!! Christ allowed himself to be crucified in order to show us what love means. He did it also to show us that death is not the end. And He did this by RISING FROM THE DEAD!!!
                   
                   Your script goes like this:
                   "Parsurrey: Blessings be upon him (Christ)." But it should really say this:
                   "Blessings be upon Parsurrey." (Signed, "CHRIST.") CHRIST BLESSES YOU!!! YOU DON'T BLESS HIM!!!

                  I am not at all upset, Hokey. I am actually amused by that statement. Merely pointing out that any spoken or written document can be called 'something someone made up'. All leaders can be said the same, they have speech writers.

                  What is ironic is that people will readily accept a thing before considering the truth of it -better said the Application of it. Else, immediately dismissing it. Because having read it or tried it, that message did not fit their perspective and now becomes propaganda. I see it constantly in here. Many ex-theists of all sides of the Ism, turning to everything ( including Donald Duck ), looking for something to satisfy and occupy the territory of hollowness, drowning out the pain, fear and discomfort of philo.

                  Indeed, have a nice day!

                    Except the Bible was written over three centuries after Jesus existed.  You try writing a book of teh day to day travels of someone who existed three hundred years ago without supporting documentation.

                    The whole Jesus died for out sins thing has always confused me, I mean how did his death actually help anyone, how did it absolve everyone elses sins?

              Did Buddha (sp?) die for you Hokey?

              It is he who simply made up a lot of his stuff so that people would follow his teachings.

              Jesus actually "put His money where His mouth is" as the old saying goes.   He walked on this earth for one reason and only one reason, and He died for one reason----so that you and anyone else could be saved and have eternal Life.

                See Brenda that is where you go wrong. You cant proclaim these stories as if they are factual. There was no Jesus who died for any of us. Never resurrected. Washed away our sins in his      . (now that is just       and dark). Buddha discussed principals of life that are true. Impermanence, karma, suffering, and interconnectedness of all. All these principals deal with real life and are known and proven. There are no stories and myths of super human miracles and such.

            Hi friend Brenda Durham

            Bible is not written by Jesus; it is written by scribes who deserted Jesus because of lack of belief in Jesus; and hence they have no credulity, they just wrote out of hearsay; they were hardly themselves witness of the events of Jesus in particular about the events of Crucifixion.
            Please believe in Bible where it appeals to reason; and leave it when it becomes mythical or superstitious.

        If Jesus (if he even existed) never was crusified, we probably would never of heard of him. All of these miracles that he alegally performed and claims of him being the son of God were all written 30+ years after Jesus' death by people who never met him. Compaired to calling the Titanic unsinkable and so on. The owners and builders never claimed the ship was unsinkable. That BS was created by the press. The stories got bigger and wilder after the ship sank.

          This is a story and not reality as the Titanic was the first ship build with water tight bulkheads and so it was technically unsinkable .Sadly the water tight doors were not closed and thats the reason the Titanic sunk.

          Hi friend Paul Wingert

          Jesus did not claim to be a magician. He was simply a Messenger Prophet of the Creator-God Allah YHWH. He was a Physician and God heard his prayers; so he served humanity with his knowledge of the medicine and with his prayers; both these things together could do wonders.

          But Jesus could, therefore, only cure the near-dead. Like Lazarus; he was not a physically dead; with Jesus’ prayer and medicine he got cured.

          It is said that the ointment, prepared from the basic ingredients of aloe and myrrh, with which Jesus was treated in the tomb by Nicodemus and his other friends, its prescription was taught to them by Jesus himself prior to the incident of crucifixion. It is for this that the prescription is known in the ancient books of medicine with the name Marhum-e Issa or Ointment of Jesus.

          I love Jesus and Mary as mentioned in Quran.

      Hi folks,peace and love unto all.As a matter of fact,we all have different views and many a time i have seen a Christian say things that are not even recorded in the Bible and is far from Christian moral beliefs.Regarding this particular issue,Christ Jesus died o the CROSS OF CALVARY.He took the pains of death that I and I will be saved,he was brought down dead from the cross and laid to rest.

      paarsurrey,i got your point of view but you are wrong,Jesus died on the cross but he over came the powers of death.If you are still in doubt then,tell me where he died and if he was breathing when he was brought down from the cross.

        One may believe whatever one likes but it is a fact that Jesus did not die on the Cross. If one loves Jesus, one should accept this fact.The Jews wanted to kill Jesus to prove that he was a fals Prophet in terms of Torah:

        But the prophet, who being corrupted with pride, shall speak in my name things that I did not command him to say, or in the name of strange gods, shall be slain. Deuteronomy 18:20

        The Creator - God Allah YHWH saved Jesus against all odds to prove that Jesus was a truthful Prophet Messenger.

        I love Jesus and Mary as mentioned in Quran.

        Hi friend loisryan

        What did make Jesus a god that he established a similarity with Jonah?

        1.    Period of three days
        2.    Going in the belly of the fish/tomb
        3.    Praying to the Creator

        When Jonah could not become a god; how could Jesus become?

        Just think with reason. Jesus remained a human being; the only similarity was that like Jonah; Jesus survived a cursed death on Cross.

          Everything!  I can prove the munchkin died.  In this day and age it takes no faith to prove such a thing or the effect he had on family and fans.  With Jesus Christ one must look beyond that which is written in the Bible, stars, telephone book or even a napkin with which we wipe our mouths with.  He is the Infinite Atonement.  His full measure in our lives can only realized and magnified through faith and application of the principles and precepts He taught.  Through this I can testify that He did suffer and was slain upon the cross.  Even further I can testify that He had to utterly do this alone.  Utterly!  He, Himself, was amazed and grieved as He progressed into the Garden.  That was the Holy Spirit leaving His bodily temple.  He had to take on this duty, responsibility and toil utterly alone - even at the expense of the accompaniment of the Holy Spirit.  That is massive and significant! 

          So you see, you may succeed in persuading many that Jesus Christ was less than our Savior and Redeemer.  Yet, for those few of us who have taken the time to learn through faith and application we know for a surety that He is the One who reconciled us to the Eternal Father.

      I didn't know there were people still alive today that witnessed the crucifixions performed by the Roman Empire. Were all the crucifixions a lie? Capital punishment is still going strong today in the form of  the "Death Penalty". Yes I am a Christian and believe in the crusifixion of Jesus, but I was not there and I did not see and I don't believe anyone else here did either. However we will all know one day when we die and if we ressurect. If Jesus did not die on the cross, the whole basis of Christianity is lost and we better learn the art of sacrificing animals to atone for our sins. I love Jehovah God and I believe He gave us his son for this purpose, and He gave us to His son as an eternal gift.

        Hi friend kaja_mel

        At a time when most of the business was conducted under barter; animal were considered as very precious; in the middle east having a herd of animals was considere as financial richeness; a status symbol, so people sacrificed animals as an intention of sincerity or goodwill.

        Bible took it wrongly that it was essential to sacrifice animals for atonement of the sins. It was a wrong concept; like so many other in Bible. The Creator- God Allah YHWH never wanted that; He does not need it.

        Quran clears the real concept:

        [22:35] And to every people We appointed rites of sacrifice, that they might mention the name of Allah over the quadrupeds of the class of cattle that He has provided for them. So your God is One God; therefore submit ye all to Him. And give thou glad tidings to the humble,
        [22:36] Whose hearts are filled with fear when Allah is mentioned, and who patiently endure whatever befalls them, and who observe Prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them.
        [22:37] And among the sacred Signs of Allah We have appointed for you the sacrificial camels. In them there is much good for you. So mention the name of Allah over them as they stand tied up in lines. And when they fall down dead on their sides, eat thereof and feed him who is needy but contented and him who supplicates. Thus have We subjected them to you, that you may be thankful.
        [22:38] Their flesh reaches not Allah, nor does their blood, but it is your righteousness that reaches Him. Thus has He subjected them to you, that you may glorify Allah for His guiding you. And give glad tidings to those who do good.
        [22:39] Surely, Allah defends those who believe. Surely, Allah loves not any one who is perfidious or ungrateful.

        http://www.alislam.org/quran/search2/sh … p;verse=34

        Animal sacrifice has nothing to do with the atonement of sin.

You know even the Roman official- Pilate, exclaimed surprise when they told that Jesus had died. This was only a pretext that Jesus' legs may not be broken.

        Without a perch... or if one choose not to seat themselves after crucifixion. then one could die within 40 mins from heart failure. French studies have shown this to be a fact. So I think you ought to reconsider your statement. Also once the curifourgium,(the breaking of the shins of the prisoner crucified.) was performed that death followed not long after.

        So to make a bloated unfounded statement such as no one dies that fast on the cross is unsupportable.

    "Friend" muslin: explain to us this then, please.

    The Qur'an talks about crucifixion as punishment in Egypt.

    "Be sure I will cut off your hands and your feet on apposite sides, and I will cause you all to die on the Cross."[Qur'an 7:124]

    Pharaoh said: You put your faith in him before I give you leave. Lo! he doubtless is your chief who taught you magic! But verily ye shall come to know. Verily I will cut off your hands and your feet alternately, and verily I will crucify you every one. [Qur'an 26:49]

    (Pharaoh) said: "Believe you in Him before I give you permission? Surely this must be your leader, who has taught you magic! be sure I will cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, and I will have you crucified on trunks of PALM-TREES: so shall ye know for certain, which of us can give the more severe and the more lasting punishment!" [Quran 20:71]

    These three passages from the Quran tell the story of Moses which occurred between 1450 - 1200 BC. There is another mention of crucifixion in the Quran:

    "My two companions of the prison! As to one of you, he will pour out the wine for his lord to drink: as for the other, he will hang from the CROSS, and the birds will eat from off his head...[Sura 12:41]

        again your Jesus is not our Jesus... so you can love him all you want.

        I know your Jesus is coming to (and I quote the Al'Hadith here...) "Shatter the crosses and slaughter the swine"... a direct refrence to your jesus destroying and killing all the Christians and jews.

        So to sit here and try to make as if your Jesus is the correct jesus, and we just have a few facts wrong is so disingenious it is not funny.

        The Quran does not even have the fact of who Jesus is correct. The Qu'ran states and I quote again... "Jesus son of mary, sister of Arron" WRONG... The Sister of Arron is Mariam... 2000 years before Christ.

        But that just highlights the fact that the Qu'ran is a great confabullation of Arabic poetry... and nothing more.

          Hi friend TMMason

          I think you have not understood it correctly.

          Mirza Ghulam Ahmad 1835-1908, has not killed a soul. He explained that Jesus did not die on Cross; and this way he refuted the wrong concepts of the present Christianity founded by clever Paul and the errant Church. Similarly he refuted the concepts of those Christians who believe that it they (the Christians)who have killed Jesus on the cross for the atonement of their sins. The refutation of this weird concept is killing the swine; if one understands.

          What is bad about it?

          It is the Christians who believe in a mythical Jesus; so it is  they who differ with the Real Jesus.

          Thanks

            The fact is Islam finds Christianity to be Shirk, polytheism. the highest of all sins. Also Islam is anti-thetical to both christianity and judaism. it is a fact. the three cannot co-exist because muslims are under fard, (obligation) to destroy all corruption from the world. That is a fact.

            So to sit here and play the friendly muslim just trying to show us the errors of our ways. is a bunch of BS.

            You are practicing tiqqiya, right know.

              It is the Christians , clever Paul and errant Church who believe in  Trinity or shirk. Jesus never believed in Trinity; he was a Jew.

              Jews and Christians are my friends.

                Again read my comment. it is islam which believe all christians are polytheist. And that belief is false. they are not. not all Christians believe Christ to be God.

                but as the arabs call the beduins the "Sons of the road". Christians call Christ the, "Son of god."

                is that too complex?

                here is my question for you...

                What is the punishment for the sin of Shirk?

                And what if anything is fard upon the ummah, if they find polytheists among the community?

                Do they co-exist and tolerate the polytheists?....

                I am off to the Drs. Will look for my answer when I return.

                    % of christians who do not believe christ to be God .

                    Could not tell you. But I am not the only one. I have met many and still meet more every day.

                    I believeCto be the Son of God, (In the ephemral sense. Such as the bedouins as the, "sons of the road".) I also believe, as many Christians do, the we are all the children of God. Sons and Daughters of the Most High God.

                    My Denomination?...  I am a Christian. As in I follow the words and ways of Yashua, the Christ.

                    Of what denomination of Islam are you? And do not say there are no denominations in Islam. Because there are.

                    I don't mind debating or speaking with you, Almadhi. But if you do not answer me. I will not answer you. And then we will do nothing but snipe and talk "AT" each other. Instead of too one another.

    Babylonian Sanhedrin, Jewish records 43a. Yeb. IV 3; 49a:,

    "On the eve of Passover they hanged on a tree Yeshu [of Nazareth] and the herald went before him for forty days saying [Yeshu of Nazareth] is going forth to be stoned; in that he practiced sorcery and beguiled and led astray Israel. Let everyone knowing in his defense come and plead for him. But they found naught in his defense and hanged him on the eve of Passover."

    Roman Historian Tacitus, Annals 15.44
    "..people called 'Christians', hated for their abominable crimes. Their name comes from Christ, who, during the reign of Tiberius, had been executed by the procurator Pontius Pilate."

    Lucian of Samosata, a Roman satirist (c. 175 AD):

    "..the man who was crucified in Palestine because he introduced this new cult into the world... Furthermore, their first lawgiver persuaded them that they were all brothers one of another after they have transgressed once for all by denying the Greek gods and by worshiping that crucified sophist himself and living under his laws."

    Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews 18:63-64:
    "About this time there lived Jesus, a wise man, if indeed one ought to call him a man. For he was one who wrought surprising feats and was a teacher of such people; as accept the truth gladly. He won over many Jews and many of the Greeks. He was the "Messiah". When Pilate, upon hearing him accused by men of the highest standing amongst us, had condemned him to be crucified. Those who had in the first place come to love him did not give up their affection for him..."

    are these historians writing actual events or did they all make them up and why.

    If you research the Romans way of torture it is documented...They did this to so many people who did a crime.

    I can only share with you what I believe as TRUTH I cannot make you believe this and neither will God...FAITH and Trust are up to us...I pray those who read this that God Himself will open your hearts,minds,eyes and ears to His Love for YOU!

    I am humbled to be a Christian...particularly in this day and age...Take a minute to read this. It might help you...

    THE SCIENTIFIC DEATH OF JESUS
    At the age of 33,Jesus was condemned to the death penalty.

    At the time crucifixion was the "worst" death. Only the worst criminals condemned to be crucified.Yet it was even more dreadful for Jesus, unlike other criminals condemned to death by crucifixion Jesus was to be nailed to the cross by His hands and feet. Each nail was 6 to 8 inches long. The nails were driven into His wrist,not into His palms as is commonly portrayed. There's a tendon in the wrist that extends to the shoulder.The Roman guards knew that when the nails were being hammered into the wrist that tendon would tear and break, forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support himself so that He could breath.

    Both of His feet were nailed together. Thus He was forced to support Himself on the single nail that impaled His feet to the cross. Jesus could not support himself with His legs because of the pain so He was forced to alternate between arching His back then using his legs just to continue to breath.
    Imagine the struggle, the pain, the suffering, The courage.

    Jesus endured this reality for over 3 hours. Yes,over 3 hours!
    Can you imagine this kind of suffering? A few minutes before He died, Jesus stopped bleeding. He was simply pouring water from his wounds. From common images we see wounds to His hands and feet and even the spear wound to His side. But do we realize His wounds were actually made in his body. A hammer driving large nails through the wrist, the feet overlapped and an even large nail hammered through the arches, Then a Roman guard piercing His side with a spear.

    But before the nails and the spear Jesus was whipped and beaten. The whipping was so severe that it tore the flesh from His body. The beating so horrific that His face was torn and his beard ripped from His face. The crown of thorns cut deeply into His scalp. Most men would not have survived this torture. He had no more blood to bleed out, only water poured from His wounds. The human adult body contains about 3.5 liters (just less than a Gallon) of blood.

    Jesus poured all 3.5 liters of his blood; He had three nails hammered into his members; a crown of thorns on his head and, beyond that, a Roman soldier who stabbed a spear into his chest.

    All these without mentioning the humiliation He passed after carrying His own cross for almost 2 kilometers, while the crowd spat in his face and threw stones (the cross was almost 30 kg of weight,only for its higher part,where his hands were nailed).

    Jesus had to endure this experience, so that you can have free access To God.
    So that your sins could be "washed" away. All of them, with no
    exception! Don't ignore this situation. JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOU! For You... Do not believe that He only died for others!!!

    All you have to do is accept this reality,the truth that JESUS IS THE ONLY SALVATION FOR THE WORLD.God has plans for you, show all your friends what He experienced to save you,from eternal separation and hell.

    May God bless your life!

    60 seconds with God...
    For the next 60 seconds, set aside what you're doing and take this opportunity!
    If you are not ashamed to do this, please, follow Jesus' instructions. He said (Matthew 10:32 & 33): "Everyone therefore who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before my Father in heaven; but whosoever denies me before others, I also will deny before my Father in heaven".

    Yes, I love God. He is my source of life and my Savior. He keeps me alive day and night. Without Him, I am nothing, but with Him "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me". Philippians 4:13.

    "Write your plans in pencil and let God have the eraser." amen

      Dear Friend paarsurrey

      I believe your history of Roman torture correct. The reason the Romans hung a person on a cross to produce a slow death and deter other people from crime.

      Also, I read accounts of carrion-eating birds and scavenging animals gathering around the crucifixion sites. And I read reports of people writing about the stench of death they endured as they traveled the roads lined with people on the crosses. So, I have no doubt the Romans left their victims the cross for several days...

      And in more recent times - around 1200 AD - the Christian king of the European fiefdom - Transylvania - Count Dracula hung Muslims and heretics from the cross and again let those poor souls slowly starve to death... In fact, he put the whole population of a town on crosses and invoked so much fear because his victims died a most painful death, that he encountered no opposition at other villages and towns...

        Brenda, you're a sweetheart and I thank you for it.
        My zeal goes so far beyond the pulpit; it used to scared the sheep outta me and the sheep around me.

        Had a career ministers son, in the face of the entire congregation, ask me personally to teach the people about faith, because they were hungry for faith, while his dad was too busy playing power, politics and alter calls. Next was a monster of a church, 10,000+ strong, that moved me to the point where I almost vomited from 'holy ghost', healing, etc lies.

        After 'backsliding' as the term goes, came to the point of enough is enough. Just after it became evident. There are no lost souls, only souls that don't get it. My calling -if one- is to tear down every stronghold of the gods of baal, who have practiced evey magic art and potion; taught lie upon lie using the Truth; every temple made of stone brought to nothing brick by brick and every heart of ice, melted by fire. Restoring them to Grace -far exceeding books and building and bullsh!te.

        A zealot heretic to the core.

        Anything else, according to all the books & letters, is the Ism propaganda.

      This is all mythical. Would you kill your son or daughter for the sins of the passerbyes in the street? Why should God the Father set and example of highest cruelty of killing His innocent son for the sins of others?

      Paul and Church created this myth only for their own selfish motives. It has got nothing to do with Jesus or the Creator - God Allah YHWH or the forgiveness of sins of the human beings. Church propogates killing of the innocents and cruelty in the name of atonement of sins.

          Jesus was not killed on the Cross; it was not so desighned by the Creator- God Allah YHWH; hence people failed to kill Jesus on the Cross. This is what I am proving.

          It was neither desighned by God Allah YHWH; nor people could kill Jesus to prove him a false Messenger Prophet.It Just did not happen.

          It is Quran/Islam/Muhammad who have defined the Creator- God Allah YHWH elaborately; others could not do it as their scriptures and religions are dead, I mean their scriptures are not in the original form they were revealed; hence their confusion. All living teachings of all other revealed religions have been, therefore, included in Quran, in a way to protect them; this is what has been mentioned in Quran very expressively.

          The Creator is manifest by His attributes; different nations have different names of the same Creator-God; Allah YHWH Ahura Mazda and many more are his names. Islam did not invent the name Allah; it was in use in Arab before Islam.

          Islam's contribution or peculiarity is explaining attributes of the Creator- God Allah YHWH in much detail. In fact the whole Quran is based on explaining the attributes of the Creator-God Allah YHWH.

      Does the property fluidity of water cause the existence of the water molecules?

      How can a property, which by its very terminology must belong, be the cause of that which it is a property of?

      Consciousness is a property of humans and their bodys, therefore it cannot cause those bodys. To say it does is illogical.

          Cells are not conscious,(by themselves) if you believe they are then give evidence and describe how.

          Water molecules are not fluid by themselves, not until they are combined with other water moles do they take on the property of fluidness. I thought I already explained this. Fluidity is the emergent property of many water moles under the local laws of physics. Fluidity comes from non-fluid particles.

          Consciousness is the emergent property of non-conscious neurons (organic logic gates), which when combined result in conciousness. Thats consciousness from the non-conscious.

          Really this is basic logic and I shouldnt have to explain this to someone of intelligence.

              Do you "have faith" that non-fluid water moles "design" the property of fluidness?

              No teleology (design implies teleology) is required, fluidity is the natural result of the water moles obeying the laws of physics.

              In the same way that non-fluid water moles give rise to fluidity, so to do non-conscious neurons give rise to consciousness.

      Straw man fallacys are the missrepresentation of an opponents position, generally done because the arguer recognises that the opponents logics is unassailable. You can once more committed this fallacy "I don't think water molecules have consciousness such as cells, but you seem to have faith that they do. What is waters defense, communication, and memory?"
      Since I have never claimed any of these things, and these are not my position, then this is a strawman set up for you to attack. Thank you for thereby recognising that my argument is correct and that you are unable to attack it directly.

      I think I have adequately explained that propertys such as fluidity and consciousness can come about from things that lack those propertys.

      As for not believing you when you say that cells are conscious, well if you can tell me how they are conscious, and explain to me exactly what consciousness is (how do you know what it is), then I would consider the possibility.

      Despite whether cells are conscious, the atoms that make cells up are not also conscious, or do you believe that too? So even were cells conscious, consciousness would still be a property of non-conscious matter.

      As for computers, you claim that "Cells, have memory, defenses, communication which are all impossible without consciousness."
      I showed that computers have all these things and yet are not considered conscious. This disproved this specific statement by you, nothing more, nothing less. So when you said "Did computers design themselves or did conscious minds design them" you once again missrepresented my position, thereby admitting its validity.

      Clay retains a memory of anything that comes into contact with it, in the form of an inprint, would you say that clay is also conscious?

With our return however we stand imperfect, and therefore by the laws of justice, are unable to remain in his presence.
    It is the mediation of Jesus Christ who died in the most complete and senseless way, who was honored by all of creation as the only being to live on Earth without committing a single sin.
    It is his mercy that God and the universe cannot deny, because of his perfect sacrifice. Therefore it is through his mercy and mediation, that we are able to stand in the presence of God.
    Unequivocally, It is through his mercy that the laws of justice are satisfied, and that mercy has to be honored otherwise God would cease to be God and all would be lost.
    For this reason the will of Christ, the Messiah, the deliverer, Jesus the son of God has to be honored by all of the intelligences of creation thus fufilling his roll as the deliverer and savior of mankind as prophecied by all of the ancient prophets of God.

      Well given your name, I guess you know the onus is on you to prove that mouthfull of a claim, onusonus?

      The fallacy of demanding negative proof is a fallacious inversion of the burden of proof principle that the individual making the ontologically positive claim bears an initial burden of proof. As has been said, the ontologically positive claim must first be substantiated with evidence and argument before the burden of proof shifts to the ontologically negative side. The falacy of demanding negative proof initially places this burden on the ontologically negative side. In other words, X (an ontologically positive claim) is not proven simply because "not X" cannot be proven.

      A popular form of the fallacy is the argument from ignorance.

      Since the fallacy of demanding negative proof depends on how the burden of proof is allotted, it works best in the absence of other factors which affect that burden. For instance, an objector might effetely wield the fallacy of demanding negative proof in the face of one presenting a new scientific theory. However, when other factors create a burden asymmetry, the fallacy loses much of its force, such as when conventional or community wisdom is strong. So, a burden of negative proof might be appropriate when there already exists strong community wisdom on the subject.

      Lastly, the fallacy of requiring negative proof does not apply to an ontologically negative claim. In other words, one is justified in making an ontologically negative claim and then requiring proof of the opposite. For example, it would be a fallacy of requiring negative proof to say, "A chair sits beside me; prove me wrong." On the other hand, it would not be fallacy to exclaim, "No chair sits beside me; prove me wrong."

        Also in a court of law one of the deciding factors of determining which side of the story is true, is based on eye witness accounts. In such a case of Jesus's sacrifice we have specifically the twelve men who testified to his birth, death, and resurection, which is more than enough people to sway the courts decision on who is telling the truth.

        W have the twelve whitnesses,  Peter, Andrew, James the Greater, James the Lesser, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, Thaddeus, Simon,  and Matthias who all claimed to have seen it first hand, and made a non-wavering declaration even to their dying days. as opposed to one Mohommed who made a conflicting claim hundreds of years later.

              None of the twelve you mentioned in your post were present at the scene of the Crucifixion of Jesus. Joseph Armethia and Nicodemus are only mentioned to have taken the injured body of Jesus from the Roman Officials and took him hurriedly to the spacious and airy tomb lest Jesus gets suffocated or succumbs to his wounds. One could now see the tomb on the internet by accessing:

                  Luke was not a disciple of Jesus; and he was not there at the scene of Crucifixion of Jesus. He must have spoken from hearsay.

                  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospel_of_Luke

                  Although the Gospel of Luke was written anonymously, the most likely candidate for the authorship of Luke-Acts is Luke the physician and sometime companion of Paul.[17] Yet scholars are evenly divided on the historicity of attributing this gospel to Luke.

                  The Gospel of Luke is a secondary source based on earlier accounts of the life of Jesus.

                    Actually he was an apostle of Jesus as he testified of the divinity of Christ. and though he may have not been at the scene, the Holy Spirit bore the truth to him. Not only this but there is that looming possibility that the Apostles corrisponded with eachother as they were the ones that Jesus ordained to spread his gosple to the world. The fact is that the things the world knows about Christ come from his apostles and their writings. otherwise they are revealed to us by prophets through the whitness of the Holy Spirit, which is the spirit of truth. This is how we know that a Prophet is truely sent from God because they will not condradict one another as Mohamed did by denying that Jesus is the son of God, the mediator and advocate with the father. The entire new testament is the fufillment of the Old. The covenants made between God and the seed of Abraham all the way up untill this last and final dispensation of the Earth.

    I didn't see mention of this yet, and I'm joining the conversation a bit late, but want to add some "science" (not stating my personal beliefs, which I keep to myself in the forums; just pointing out what the science reports, and a few irrefutable facts)

    FACTS
    Historically, when a person was condemned to die on the cross, their death is actually caused by SUFFOCATION.  They literally suffocate till dead.  It typically took 2-3 days for this to happen.

    Also at that time in history, when a physician performed a surgical procedure, they used some kind of a chemical (I can't remember what and don't feel like researching) that was soaked into a sponge. The sponge was then placed over the nose and mouth.  This induced a deep sleep state so that surgery or other painful procedures could be conducted.

    A human body stops bleeding when the body is dead.

    SCIENCE & CONCLUSIONS DRAWN THEREFROM
    As reported in the bible, Jesus died within only a few hours.  If he was truly dead, it was not from suffocation. So, what was it from?

    As reported in the bible, a soldier placed a sponge upon the tip of a spear and held it up to Jesus' mouth.  Hmmm.  At that time, there was only one known reason to use the sponge like this.  Providing water to a dying prisoner would've resulted in the guard's own death by crucifixion.

    As reported in the bible, a guard stuck a spear into the lower side of Jesus.  As depicted in ALL historical drawings and art work, that wound is bleeding.  The bible refers to the bleeding from the wound.  He was stuck with the spear, it is reported, to "make sure" he was dead.  The dead do not bleed.

    The spearing happened shortly after the sponge.

    Is it not possible that Jesus' followers conspired to make it look like he was dead?  Would this not explain why, generations later, the discovery of an entire family of those little stone boxes into which bones were placed for burial -- a family with the same names of the relatives of Jesus?  (A study was done to determine the probability that it was Jesus' actual family, based on the recurrence of names, etc.  According to the study, in all likelihood, this was Jesus' family, including Jesus, who supposedly died and resurrected many years before.)

    Okay ... enough.  I could post more facts and science to support the above theory, but I have work to do. LOL

      -----------------blood and water came out------------------------
      i used to work at a slaughterhouse and the dead cows were hung upside down and their throats slit to drain the blood, the blood flows in a rivulet it doesn't pulse. The spear in the side of jesus drained the local blood but it was not a bleeding as such from a beating heart.
      "John 19:34   But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water". The original transcripts verify this saying exactly.. both water and blood came out.
                                -----------the offerings of the fluid------------------- 
      there were two offerings of fluid upon the hyssop:
      "Matthew 27:34   They gave him vinegar (as below) to drink mingled with gall (myrrh): and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink". 
      "Mark 15:23   And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not. " 
      this is the sophomoric or pain killer that would dullen his senses but at this stage jesus wanted to be mentally alert so he refused.  G5521
      http://ww2.netnitco.net/~legend01/myrrh.htm
      "Until the invention of morphine and other modern painkillers, myrrh was a common analgesic. In ancient times it was often mixed with wine to make the drink more potent (Clarke's Commentary - Prov 9:4-5). As was the custom among the Jews, Christ was offered "wine mingled with myrrh" to ease the pains of the cross. However, He refused to drink it.
      "Mark 15:36""Matthew 27:48"
           John 19:28   After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
           John 19:29   Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
           John 19:30   When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
      1) vinegar:   a mixture of sour wine or vinegar and water which the Roman soldiers were accustomed to drink for refreshment.  G3690
      Two different fluids, one accepted, one not accepted.

              ---------Christ gives up the ghost and dies voluntarily-----------
      Jesus gave up his spirit, he did not die, He was god he could have hung there for 2000 yrs and lived.
        Mark 15:37   And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
        Mark 15:39   And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
           Luke 23:46   And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
           John 19:30   When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

      The timing was imperative that jesus be buried before the sabbath day which started at sunset 6ish pm Saturday the evening of his crucifixion . The third hour was 9am friday (3hrs after sunrise) the 6th hour was noon friday, christ hung there till 3pm friday... 3 hrs before sunset the start of the hebrew sabbath day, saturday. He still had to be prepared to be buried with cloths and perfumes etc and be in the tomb which they didn't have yet and needed to be arranged.. so christ did not have 3 days to hang around and wait till he died naturally, He GAVE UP his spirit.

        How entertaining. So - the Jews did not kill him after all. He voluntarily died and did not suffer in any way shape or form. He could have lived there forever.

        Not much of a sacrifice then.

        No wonder your religion makes no sense and Kristians are a bunch of adulterous, law-breaking hypocrites. There was no sacrifice. Jeebus voluntarily died and made no sacrifice.

        Big deal. sad

          If it was a suicide; where is the price of the mythical sins?

          The facti is that Jesus did not die on the Cross; he survived death. The Creator-God Allah YHWH helped him save a death on the cross which would have made him a false prophet as per Torah.

          God Allah YHWH helped him save his life against all odds.

      I agree with you. The dead do not bleed; bleeding is a sign of life; not a sign of death.

      Pilate was not agree from his heart to crucify Jesus; to show this he washed his hands off .

      If we look into the Bible intently, we could see that Jesus' followers conspired with Roman officials to make it look like he was dead; though he was not dead but near-dead?

    "giving up the ghost" refers to the spirit within all of us.  The body dies but the spirit goes on.  Where it "goes" is a matter for debate, but this is what happens to ALL of us when we "pass on" (hence, the term "pass on."  Our spirit passes on to somewhere else.

    The books from which the above scripture is quoted were written decades after the fact.  Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John all contradict one another, too, when it comes to "the story."

    I fully believe that Jesus lived, that he was a disciple of God, and that he preached a damn good message.  But I also believe in science, facts, and I do not overlook what we know about human behavior.  To deny science, sociology, psychology, and all the other academics is just ludicrous.

    "giving up the ghost"

    Hi friend Lynda Gary

    I agree with you.

    As one could see the words "giving up the ghost" are not the words of Jesus; these are the words of a story teller. This might be his opinion. Since the story was written much later; the story writer here added his own opinion or his blind faith. In fact, this could mean that Jesus went into unconsciousness.

        Quran descended on the heart of Muhammad verbally bit by bit; it was a verbal Revelation as the Word Quran means. It was learnt by heart by Muhammad and his followers. The Revelation of Quran continued till the last year on Muhammad; when the whole Quran was repeated two time. It was all complete in Muhammad's own life.This verbal memorization is continued to our own times irrespective it is written or not.

       The intresting thing about it is that it can not be duplicated.

      Have you even seen this thing? Are you aware that there are several replicated versions

      And it has been independently dated - with the approval of the Bishop of Turin - at around AD 1262 - 1384.

      But - that is good enough "proof" to support your ridiculius beliefe.

      Good for you.

      So - now I have provided evidence that it is possible to replicate it - and it has been dated well after Christ (1300 years or so) - and have destroyed your "proof".

              I'd say Christians took a wrong turn trying to convince people using "historical evidence". Either Jesus Christ is the Deity or he isn't. I don't see what difference it makes whether some Gospel writers got some stuff wrong or not, or whether some shroud is legit or not... This would be a weird way for God to go about things... relying on people's ability to figure out historical-critical, source-critical, and artefactual evidence...

              To be honest, I think of a lot of Christians are secretly just history buffs who relish the excuse to talk and think about history.

          Dear me.

          No - it has been proven conclusively that it is older than your imaginary friend. Four independent tests and the Bishop of Turin agree that, "The results of radiocarbon measurements at Arizona, Oxford and Zurich yield a calibrated calendar age range with at least 95% confidence for the linen of the Shroud of Turin of AD 1260 - 1390 (rounded down/up to nearest 10 yr).  These results therefore provide conclusive evidence that the linen of the Shroud of Turin is mediaeval. "

          Plus -it has been proven to be replicated and teh Katholiks make no claim of anything - unlike you - have you actually seen this shroud?

          But - causing confusion and conflict by lying and using semantics to dodge the facts is far, far more important to you than anything else. And - once again - I thank you for opening my eyes to this indisputable fact. Your religion is more concerned with spreading its hatred than anything else. Thank you for teaching me that there is no god and the jesus myth is a lie.

      Hi friend Jerami

      Even if the shroud of Turin is genuine; it is not a proof of resurrection of Jesus; rather it is a proof of the person who was wrapped in it; that he did not die on the Cross. He survived death in the first place so there is no question of his resurrection. If people did not see him roaming in Judea; he was preparing for migration. When he was prepared for that alongwith Mary and other trutsed friends he set off to India.

        The Turin Shroud, The Qur'an, and The Bible are all roughly equal in terms of valid sources... ie., they all "suggest" their own reliability, I mean, they all "seem" reliable, but there is no more reason to believe them than Caesar's account of conquering Britain.

        In other words, to believe in the Muslim interpretation of Jesus' life, whether based on Hadiths, The Qur'an, or The Gospels themselves, is roughly the same as believing in the Turin Shroud... why do you believe one over the other?

      OK, let's reword this. The Turin Shroud is counted as valid evidence based on what? The Gospels are counted as valid evidence based on what? Faith...ultimately.

        Hi friend

        What is harm in faith if based on reason and Revelation? Both are like two legs one walks with or like two eyes with whom one sees more clearly without contradiction.

        Thanks

          That's one-legged. Reason, yes. An all-compassionate, all-merciful all-powerful God who clearly intervenes in human affairs on occasion (as in Gabriel's appearance to Mohammed) would not allow the degree of suffering of the innocents we see in our world. It is NOT REASONABLE OR LOGICAL... It is quite literally a contradiction.

          As for Revelation, well, who is to say what is Revelation and what is not. God, if he exists in the form you claim, gave you a brain to think critically with. The very "gift" of that brain implies we are meant to use those criticial faculties... The critical faculties of a reasonable person would warn us to be skeptical of anyone who claims to "know" something has been revealed to them.

            Actually AdsenseStrategies,

            While I am not a religious person, I think you undermine your first point because you use logic to assert something is illogical...Where is the evidence to support your claim? And strictly speaking we have several different types of logic...

            As for revelation - Einstein based his theory of relativity on revelation; and he waited several years before other people managed to verify the theory. So the legend goes, Einstein sat on a bus and imagined what it would be like to travel on light beam...He then drew on mathematics to express the view he imagined...

            Viva la difference!

    Your religion is more concerned with spreading its hatred than anything else.
    ===============================================

       If you see anything hateful in anything that I have said ???
    You have an active imagination.
       The piece of linnen that was cut from the shroud was dated to be medievel, correct.  It was later proven to be a combination of two materials indicating that a repair had been made and this area is what was tested. 
       
       As you say..Nothing has been proven conclusifely.
       And yes there are numerious ways in which an image can be put on linnen but not that was avaliable at the time that can replicate the apearance of the pixils.

      Back pedaling. LOL

      So - your religion does not subscribe to the idea that Jesus died and was risen to save those that believe in him? LOLOL

      Pure hate mongering.

      Proved? LOLOLO Each lab got a different piece - and LOLOL this is just politicking to defend your irrational hate filled belief

      See - when you treat me like an idiot in this fashion - using absolutes that are no such thing - I get offended.

      And putting words in to my mouth when I said no such thing - well - Yes - that is offensive also.

      And yes - I did add a link to a group that had replicated the shroud using techniques available in the 1300s.

      Still - it is far more important that you do not back down - is it not? Like wot jeebus sed. lol Defend the faith against the unbelievers at all costs!

      I am sure interested to know why Jeebus was resurrected from the dead in your new Kristian religion though.

      Pray tell.

      Hi friends

      Let us suppose if the shrowd of Turin was genuinely the cloth wrapped on Jesus in the Gordon Tomb . How the image could have been formed on the cloth. Those who have been closely interested in the Shrowd may disclose for us.

       Thus proving that the entire field of study is flawed.
    Therefore unworthy for consideration??????

       You continue to state that "religion" is full of hate.
    You are correct.  The entire world inside and outside of religion is full of "Hate".
       We are all hypricrits..   We see in the world those things that we are made of.  But we tell ourselves that everyone else is ate up with it, while we are only slightly infected.

       Everybody is right and everybody is wrong.
      Anyone that says that they know very much ; "with all certainty" should be watched with all caution.

       And as far as back pedaling is concerned ?? 
    We recognize in others that which we are doing ourselves.

      Never made any bones about it actually. I hate your religion and do not pretend to love you. I am all about attacking it. I think it is a bad thing. Am I wrong to attack a bad thing?

           And if it makes you feel better ? 
           I don't LOVE you either.

          Denial - it's a wonderful thing - you are just convincing yourself that you have thrown out the bathwater yet have not- that is the problem with denying reality.

          So - what have we here?

          You avoid my questions
          You make blanket statements to support your ridiculous beliefs that you feel obliged to defend in the face of genuine facts to the contrary
          You deliberately lie about what I have said
          You judge me and presume to tell me what I am thinking
          You tell me you do not believe in religiosity, yet defend the bible and the  ludicrous notion that Jesus came back from the dead

          Sounds like you kept the bathwater to me. wink

          And I genuinely think your religion is evil and destined to continue to cause conflict. Therefore I am against it. Convince me otherwise.

          You arguing with me using semantics to defend your belief that the shroud of Turin - which I am now assuming you have never seen - proves your beliefs are valid and I am an idiot for suggesting that coming back from the dead is total garbage - is not doing anything to convince me. wink

    Hi friend AdsenseStrategies

    A normal man, like Moses, Jesus and Muhammad were; were not always critical; it is not a normal mode of a man. Man has to be a wholesome person; need not be always critical.

    To be Skeptic or to be always in doubt and confusion is an abnormality.

    A tv show...When Jesus was on the cross, and the Roman guard supposedly gave him vinegar to make him suffer, what he really gave him was Hysop...which was a plant that gave you the effect of being dead...it stopped your heart temporarily, but you were really still alive...kind of like the vodoo zombie thing they do with drugs or herbs....
    That's how they took him down but he was still alive.

      Where is their love for Jesus; they should be thankful to Muslims that we save Jesus a cursed killing on the Cross.
