I see by your join date that you are a newer member. Possibly you are unaware that this disgusting Troll has been thrice banned from ET, and is infamous for his tendency to assert, then deny, then pretend that he can't hear those who make requests for clarifications engendered by the contradictions in his posts. The Disgusting Troll thrives on drawing in unsuspecting prey and saying whatever is necessary in order to involve them. See this post for a lucid explanation of Troll behaviour. When the Disgusting Alcoholic starts to reply by a) cutting and pasting your text into a blank reply and clicking send b) threatening anal penetration (apologies, Mom) c) posting bizarre pictures from his apparently vast catalogues this is when you know you have owned him. These types of replies mean "I am feeling uncomfortable and I want to change the subject". http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showt...302784&highlight=troll+zoologists#post1302784
"Drawing conclusions that are obvious only to you, and making absolute statements about the definition and nature of others experience." Obviously only to me? LOL! You know this is obvious only to me? Not a single person beside me finds the conclusions obvious? Too funny. Thanks for the obvious logical fallacy, which makes continuing with you obviously a waste of time... p.s. I am not a Christian, so your comments of: "It is hardly christian of you!" are not only meaningless, but extremely ad hominem in nature. I guess it goes with the handle...being so "anti ad hominem." Didn't take long for you to wet yourself, did it?
To everyone on this thread. There are professionals and numerous medications that can help all of you!!!!!!!. Get! Over! it!
and yet you are still here Yeah from laughing & a little bit as a legacy of having birthed two children the way nature intended! See ya round.
It's like that part in my parable of the wayward Son who left home and squandered his inheritance in a far off land. When he is down and out he remembers that things were better at home. Everyone in this world is poor, having invested in illusions. To be in this world, you had to sacrifice everything for a small bit of dust to call your own. To think about the true attributes of God is to think about your own attributes, because in Creation, he gave everything he had to all. This is the inheritance everyone must squander to appear in this strange land. And what are all those who come here doing? They are looking for that thing that is more than everything. They are looking for everything + 1, so-to-speak. And for a body and a special relationship, all who come here have sold out 99.999% of their part in the Kingdom of God. There is not a single billionaire on earth who can come even close to the kind of wealth every Son has equally in the Kingdom. Ponder this to re-align your perception toward reality. Jesus
Sorrow is not known or experienced by God. His is constant happiness and joy unchanging. Elusive happiness, or happiness in changing form that shifts with time and place, is an illusion that has no meaning. Happiness must be constant, because it is attained by giving up the wish for the inconstant. Joy cannot be perceived except through constant vision. And constant vision can be given only those who wish for constancy. The constancy of joy is a condition quite alien to your understanding. Yet if you could even imagine what it must be, you would desire it although you understand it not. The constancy of happiness has no exceptions...no change of any kind. It is unshakable as is the Love of God for His creation. Reason will tell you that you cannot ask for happiness inconstantly. For if what you desire you recieve, and happiness is constant, then you need ask for it but once to have it always. And if you do not have it always, being what it is, you did not ask for it. God gives you constant happiness, and appeals to you to recognize what he has given. In a single instant you can recognize the constant peace you could experience forever. Preparation for this instant does not include the maintenance of the denial of truth. Jesus
It is simply a matter of YOU making the decision to believe. Obvious from the last 20+ pages or so that you can't justify your position or support it on a rational plane. In the rigorous sense, you don't even have an "opinion" , all you have is a "decision", a decision to believe despite the logical contradictions and lack of substantive evidence for your belief.
It is simply a matter of YOU making the decision not to believe. Your choice. Limits are everywhere in this world, and you don't believe that there is something Unlimited. Your choice. Everywhere in this world we see opposite values, but there is no opposite value to that which is limited? We see partial values, but there is no whole value? Again, your intellectual choice to argue from limited instruments to limited conclusions... There are no logical contradictions, as even in the narrow field of mathematics we have concepts of unlimited values...even though there is no material equivalent of infinity that is observed by the limited senses.
