"I'm convinced that death is not the end for us whatever happens after that"

Why does there have to be creator at all? And my model doesn't just point to alien life, far from it. I'm saying that the consciousness of all living things is eternal. There is no greater being, we are all just one.

Well not only the Bible, but SCIENCE (the god of the masses) doesn't agree with your thinking on this, the steady state theory was disproved in 1965 >> ".... using two observations: (1) counts of radio sources and (2) cosmic microwave background radiation. Observations show that the density of faint radio sources is higher than strong ones, implying that there were more cosmic radio sources billions of years ago than at present".

So science and theology require a beginning of time, space and matter. In your world view, how does this happen?

The standard model and big bang theory are fundamentally flawed and a new way of thinking is needed to understand the very latest observations. But this does not prove the existence of God, does it?

What’s your understanding of the beginning of time?

And since when did I say I believed the steady state model?

[jeepster]

I get it, life and eternity would be a lot less complicated for you if God's Word (the Bible) turned out to be fiction.
Well consider this; you won't be the first person to prove it is, so the sooner you get with the program the better.

Your god is more than happy for you to go down with him, so he is delighted for you to stay just as you are, condemned.

Re the steady state model, you said earlier - "Why does there have to be creator at all?"
If there is no creator, then the universe we have today needs to have always been, science says NO' - think it through carefully.

Time began when this dimension that includes time, space & matter was created; it's interesting to note that the Bible explains that God naturally exists outside of time, ie in a dimension that requires no time at all, an eternal realm. It also claims that God has given everyone an eternal spirit & soul, which is why planning for that eternal realm should be our highest priority.
Unfortunately most people plan for thousands of things IN time including checking they have their passport a number of times before they arrive at the airport, but fail to make sure they have the right 'paperwork' for eternity, so they just leave it to chance!

The things that surprises me about your endless contortions is that you will not just rely on faith in your supernatural fantasy, but insist on trying to tie an echo of science and rationality into the argument.

At which point the whole infantile belief system implodes! And your circular line of pseudo-thought returns to 'the bible says' or 'the bible claims'.

A metaphysical discussion about time and space might be interesting, but not when it is constantly debased like that.

You might get more traction on here (though I doubt it) if you stopped contradicting yourself. It is sad to watch.

I see you are still struggling to see that the truth in science and the Truth of God's Word will often collide, as they do in hundreds of places like Psalm 8:8 and 'the pathways of the sea' birthing oceanography as previously discussed.
So why should shuch observations be 'fantasy' when the reality of them can in many cases be tested by things you do understand and trust?

You as remain consistent as the female character in Hamlet who it was said of : "The lady doth protest too much, methinks".
And you will continue to do so until you have the grit to 'test all things' like those who really after the truth.

There is no struggle.

There is no 'truth' in opposition to 'Truth'.

You do love a capital letter.

Some truths are temporary, others are eternal, hence the emphasis.

And if you weren't struggling with this subject then you'd state your position with clarity and explain why you see it as the truth.

Or to put it another way - "Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God" - John 3:18

[jon1959]

That model in a cowboy hat doesn't know whether she is supposed to be blathering about a 'gospel' or a 'Gospel'.

Have a word with her - you are the capital letter oracle.

Your blathering however is just more 'rinse and repeat'. Everyone on this board (across multiple threads) who disagrees with your fantasy fixation has stated their position clearly and at length. None of us have used the frame of reference you use (why would we?) so you are incapable of understanding or responding in a serious way. You just dollop more magical explanations and more quotes from a book that your critics have been exposed to for years and rejected as any source of 'truth'.

There may be some distorted and partial historical references, but those are just small details in a set of creation myths, fables and fantasy biographies - put together (the Old Testament) after centuries of evolving and expanding oral tradition and (New Testament) after several generations of time had passed when a small cult needed its central documents to unify its followers, and then went through further centuries of transcription and often mistranslation from Hebrew and Greek.

Your ability to generate new lies is impressive, albeit typical of the one who inspires you.
I look forward to addressing these latest inventions as soon as time allows.

NB: Not one person including yourself has presented a clear position, all they have done is suggested that those who serve Christ are misled and/ or deluded. That's called opposition, not presentation.

You did.

I'm not on the same page as you, but you have been clear and thorough in explaining your position.

I think the problem is you didn't sign off with a random biblical quote.

Truthpaste loves a good quote. It seals the deal for him.

[stevo]

Thought so

[stevo]

Instead, I could quote thousands of current day testimonies of NDEs, UAPs, books on quantum physics and other sciences, declassified papers from the FBI and CIA, all of which backup my position. Much more reliable than a 2000+ year old book I’d say.

Just saying you have a library of evidence is not an argument re any subject.

Now grab the best examples from all the "testimonies of NDEs, UAPs, books on quantum physics and other sciences, declassified papers from the FBI and CIA" you claim have persuaded you and show us something even 10% as convincing as the history, teachings, works and only solution for mankind that is found alone in Jesus Christ.

How is a 2000+ year old book any more convincing than the testimonies I can point toward? This just comes down to your opinion vs mine. You have never provided evidence to back up your claims and you and I know that you never will because you can't.
