No actually to his credit he claims to be skeptic agnostic so faith has no place in this; considering that a skeptic agnostic finds no compelling reason to believe in the existence or the non existence of God. Unfortunately, if one is truly skeptic agnostic there is no reason to attack or criticize another person's faith in a deity just because one believes that ultimately the human mind is incapable of knowledge of the supernatural.

That is being rude and judgmental. His arguments really are repetitious and I have already summarized and answered them. Flogging a dead horse and trying to revive the whole argument by baiting and taunting others really is futile at the end of the day.

Hi everyone, i'm curious but would like know this first before anything:

Is this the kind of religion thread for sharing purpose, to let us all know more about GOD thru explanation and sharing of theories and sometimes debating with believers of agnosticism/atheism/other religions?

Or to unite christian at /k?

Disclaimer:
I'm not a Basher who is trying to deny your claims of whatsoever
I know /k is full of ppl fond of calling others slowpoke/stupid/mediocre/fool/ignorant/blablabla

As described by jdreamer in the first post:

Hi fellow brothers n sis in christ,

I wanna discuss When you go to church wat is your objective?

Worship God as in thanking him as a creator?

LEarn wat word?

Im ask becos i feel no meaning go church like waste time but cos is since young like habit. To me is meaningless.

Im wonder if u guys also go cos of habit and train since young but u actually dunno wat purpose u there.

I dunno wat u toking bout lol

nevermind.. doesnt seem like there's a purpose

Church is kinda .... bleh..  I always yawn when I go there. And I don't even listen to what the Father says because it's either it is something I already know or the speech he presents is very very boring.... Other than that, everything seems ok2 to me..

I donthave question about my life. I have plans and goals and know where to head and work towards it.

The only question i have is why do i go to chruch or even why do other ppl go to chruch? Whats in their mind? Most probably thinking abou dinner while in church

Im already hear the word more than 20 yrs and Im a good person.

Can it mean i have graduated and no more purpose to b there? Since its repeat every year.

Thats y i wonder y ppl go.

dafuq? u have a bible in front of you or just pull out from your head?

If like dat im sure u already have many revelation about the word. wat the  purpose u still go church?

No, I do not treat everyone with love and respect. Yes, I admit that. I hear the word but I can't entirely execute His word.

What are you trying to tell me anyway?

Haha ... we have a misconception about the church ... or "going to church"...

God’s intention concerning the church is first to produce many sons with His life (1:5). All these sons have the life of God and inherit all that He is, all that He has, all that He planned, and all that He accomplished. Every member of the church is a son of God and also will eventually be an heir of God. In this sense, God’s intention for the church is to multiply and reproduce Himself, to have a mass reproduction of Himself. If a man has many sons, all these sons are his multiplication. A few years ago, there was only the one man by himself, but today there are many of him—he is the original, and his sons are his duplication and multiplication. The multiplication of God is His family, and His family is the church.

Ephesians 1:5 speaks of the sonship. The real meaning of sonship is the multiplication of God. God is unlimited, but God still needs a great multiplication. After God created Adam, He told him to multiply and replenish the earth, that is, to fill up the earth (Gen. 1:28). God’s intention for the church is to produce many sons, to multiply Himself. John 12:24 tells us that the one grain would become many grains. The many grains are the multiplication, duplication, and reproduction of the one grain.

I think i havent reach that level to understand wat u toking

Haha ... again you fall back on your concept of "going to church".... it is not a place but an entity.

The church is the totality of the divine sonship. Originally, Jesus Christ as the unique Son of God was the individual expression of God. John 1:18 says, “No one has ever seen God; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.” This expression of God by the individual Son, Jesus Christ, was a perfect expression, but it did not fulfill God’s goal. God’s goal is to have the totality of the divine sonship. As the redeemed, forgiven, saved, and regenerated sons of God, we have the divine nature of God (2 Pet. 1:4).

So the church is a group of people having the life and living of God, living out Christ on the earth today.

Err ....I didn't meant multiplication of numbers Hope you have a spiritual understanding of the church in Ephesians.

The church is constituted of God the Father's nature and life, God the Son's element, and God the Spirit's essence (Eph. 1:4-5, 10-11, 13). Ephesians 1:4 and 5 say that God the Father chose us to be holy and predestinated us unto sonship. For us to be holy, to be sanctified, we need His nature. In the whole universe, nothing is holy except God Himself in His divine nature. Only the Father's divine nature is sanctified, holy. God wants to make us holy, sanctified. Therefore, He has to impart His holy nature into us. The Father also has predestinated us unto sonship. For Him to make us sons to participate in His divine sonship involves His life. If He did not impart His life into us, we could not be His sons. Therefore, for us to be sanctified, to be holy, means that we have God's holy nature; for us to be His sons means that we have His life. Ephesians 1:4 and 5 indicate that God the Father as the source imparts His nature and life into His chosen people.

Ephesians 1:7-12 speaks of the Son's redemption. The Son brings us into Himself as the element and the sphere into which we have been redeemed. He redeemed us out of the "trash can," and the destination of His redemption is Himself. He redeemed us out of sin, out of the world, and out of the tyranny of Satan into Himself as the element and sphere. By this redemption we, the fallen sinners, have been put into Christ as our element and sphere.

With Christ as our divine element, we have been made the inheritance of God (v. 11). We were lost, fallen, corrupt sinners. Corrupt sinners cannot be God's inheritance. But we corrupt, sinful people have been redeemed into Christ. Christ is now our element and our sphere, in which and with which we have been made a treasure unto God to be His inheritance. Christ as the divine element has been imparted into us.

Ephesians 1:13 says that we were also sealed with the Holy Spirit. The Father's nature and life, the Son's element, and the Spirit's essence are imparted into us by the sealing. When a seal with sealing ink is stamped on a piece of paper, the ink saturates the paper. The ink as the essence gets into the sealed material. We are the sealed material, and the Spirit brings the essence of the divine element of the divine source into us.

Eventually, the sealing Spirit makes us the issue of the Triune God to be the organic Body of Christ (Eph. 1:19-23). We are the issue of the dispensing of the Divine Trinity, which is the "inking" of the Triune God into us. The Father's life and nature, the Son's element, and the Spirit's essence are dispensed into our being to saturate us thoroughly. Then we become the issue of the dispensing of the Triune God. We are the issue of the essence, the element, and the source. We are the issue of the Triune God, and this issue is the church, the Body of Christ. The Father is in the Son, the Son is the Spirit, and the Spirit is the essence of the Body. Our Triune God-the Father, the Son, and the Spirit-is in the Body.

So u mean the church is made up of all people not the building? Like dat there no point of me going to church but i carry the church with me without having go church lo. Now i kinda understand abit and is more logic than going churhc every week
not to insult but that kinda MLM talk abit
