I'm not bashing Christianity, but there are certain points in this video that makes sense. Take it with a grain of salt, as I understand reason and faith do not necessarily agree with each other.

QUOTE(unknown warrior @ Jul 17 2015, 10:02 PM) Bro, I realize that as time goes by, when I understood more of Christianity actually God did leave a lot of evidence. I know it's not fiction, and I have deep questions about the nature of reality itself. However, if religion is to be both doubted and believed, one is eventually compelled to understand the how and the whys of both sides. I don't want to pick sides, so I like to think why both the "real" and "unreal" has to exists within our perceptions of reality. I do these mostly by questioning them everyday, including both scientific and religious explanations provided by everyone. The Apostles were real people, Jesus is really a real living person, recorded by historian of his time. This is not some fiction man. In other words, I could be an agnostic. I do not think God is a plain myth, but I also do not think science and reason are to be avoided. This post has been edited by Deadlocks: Jul 17 2015, 10:17 PM |

QUOTE(de1929 @ Jul 17 2015, 10:41 PM) There is a think called spiritual intelligence. That's already a questionable one, you see. Because the word "intelligence" is also somewhat subjective due to problems in semantics, to add further confusion by having another terminology of "spiritual intelligence" will eventually make things even unclear. Who possesses it? A wise man with white beard, or a modern, young woman? Who can truly say who possesses actual spiritual intelligence then?As you are talking about intelligence and faith, the spiritual intelligence will able to disect: 1. which intelligence to keep. 2. which intelligence to discard. 3. which faith to keep. 4. which faith to discard. Not all that we think intelligence JESUS wants to keep them. Not all that we think as faith JESUS wants to keep them. Sometimes proud defined as we think too much instead of asking GOD too much. And I don't think that thinking too much is an exclamation of pride. I believe it is an inevitability, something that happens within all of us, until someone decided to say them in words. |

QUOTE(de1929 @ Jul 17 2015, 10:53 PM) That's a loaded question, and no, I don't suppose there's an actual denomination where philosophy and religion are in harmony, at least not established in proper institutions.This post has been edited by Deadlocks: Jul 17 2015, 11:00 PM |

QUOTE(de1929 @ Jul 17 2015, 11:03 PM) i give you the hard and adult food lahh... goto city harvest. i don't think you will enjoy, but imo that's the best for somebody with mature understanding like you. Not anytime soon. Maybe I'm just not convinced with you. If you have the whatever this "food" you say that was originated from this "city harvest", then I'm sure you can explain it with more clarity. Otherwise, I'll have to take the leap of faith, but I've stopped going to church for a long time now, so I'll need a good reason. |

QUOTE(unknown warrior @ Jul 17 2015, 11:10 PM) Bro I appreciated the discovery of Science all the while and I see it as something enabled by God for Man to discover things. Maybe it is due to the lack of philosophical/intellectual/scientific conversations I see around here, hence my assumption.I don't get it what makes you think it is to be avoided. If what I've brought to the thread will at least get people to understand both reason and faith (and not ONLY faith) alone, it'll be great, I thought. That includes other schools of thought that does not necessarily from the Bible, that's what I thought. QUOTE(de1929 @ Jul 17 2015, 11:11 PM) it's obvious that your "leader" is your "reasoning power"... and you try to mitigate your guilt with faith in CHRIST. I have post loaded youtube in my thread WWJD. The ability to reason is NOT evil, in case I think is what you may generally trying to imply. If not, I'm afraid of your correction, not because you do not have points, but you do not know how to present them properly.at that thread, you need to dethrone your "reasoning power" and just swallow the youtube. anything you don't understand you can ask. It is okay to have reasoning power... but who is the leader ? reasoning power ? or faith ? my job is not to convince you. Holy Spirit will convince you. I just show the venue.

QUOTE(de1929 @ Jul 17 2015, 11:31 PM) The ability to reason to mitigate or reject faith IS EVIL or shall i say originating from devil You're not getting the point. I do not deny faith. I am attempting to collaborate both faith and reason.The ability to reason to build faith better than yesterday is from JESUS. I anchored on JESUS name, to resolve and help people. You are on your "ability to reason"... to resolve and help people. for me, when reason try to dethrone faith, i tell reason to shut up and just obey Holy Spirit. for you, when reason try to dethrone faith, you try to harmonize reason and faith in the name of humanity. this is a very thin difference yet crucial. |

QUOTE(de1929 @ Jul 17 2015, 11:38 PM) Have you asked Holy Spirit whether you are authorized to collaborate faith and reason ? i am afraid your faith is very little bro Authorized? If one is not authorized to collaborate both faith and reason, why would one be given a brain?And thanks to you, now you have claimed that reason is forbidden to those whom are in faith. |

QUOTE(de1929 @ Jul 17 2015, 11:49 PM) are you sure ? have you read the second line from my own posting ? i think, devil is trying to blind you. Don't you realize ? Why not equal to faith?The ability to reason is neutral... you just need to put under faith... not equal to faith And what do you mean the ability to reason is neutral? Please do not use words you do not understand. This post has been edited by Deadlocks: Jul 17 2015, 11:58 PM |

QUOTE(unknown warrior @ Jul 17 2015, 11:58 PM) And you think God wants man to be stupid and ignorant? No, I do not think so, which makes the video I've posted here to be equally as significant as well.How else do you think Man has advance so much in Scientific discovery? You really think Evolution is the sole cause? ha, very mistaken my friend. I think it is best to establish an understanding here that I do not think faith undermines reason. I think people undermine reasons for the sake of faith. |

QUOTE(de1929 @ Jul 18 2015, 12:00 AM) ability to reason will say don't walk on water, cuz you will drown. Not necessarily. The ability to reason is also the ability to ask questions why the ability to walk on water that is based on faith is crucial to connect everything else on why human beings are given the ability to think about it in the first place.When JESUS say you walk on water, it's faith. When JESUS say you walk on water, then you replying by "ability-to-reason" with JESUS saying according to gravity human mass is bigger than water mass so human will drown. Now tell me... evil or not evil ? If you afraid, then ask forgiveness by praying: Sorry JESUS, my ability-to-reason is bigger then my faith. Help me have bigger faith. That's the real ability-to-reason. Reasoning is not always against faith, and it has its place. So no, by this explanation, I submit to you that it is not evil. I think you don't even understand the definition of reasoning in the first place. Please get a dictionary. This post has been edited by Deadlocks: Jul 18 2015, 12:06 AM |

QUOTE(de1929 @ Jul 18 2015, 12:11 AM) You can win this conversation is fine. I am here to help and build people. People know i am success, prosperous and blessed. I've not seen such magnitude of arrogance, and such deterioration from insecurity. "People know I am success, prosperous, and blessed"?In case your ability-to-reason fails you, which i know it will fail you, look at increasing cost of living, GST, disappointment in live, not exceeding expectation, and all the shortages you have... remember our conversation again, second time i do this: have you read the second line from my own posting[/b] ? i think, devil is trying to blind you. Don't you realize ? My ability to reason is not meant to succeed nor fail me. I use it in order to make sense with reality and existence, hence, no, I do not think I am being blinded, from whatever you think I may be blinded from (which is most likely seeing things your way, and your way only). |

QUOTE(unknown warrior @ Jul 18 2015, 12:14 AM) Things pertaining to God's Kingdom, got to be God's way. Hence my habit of questioning, not just things on earth, but with reality itself, or the lack thereof, whichever comes first, and whomever you ask.Things here on Earth with regards to Man, Natural Law takes precedent. God designed it that way. You just have to know which is which. This post has been edited by Deadlocks: Jul 18 2015, 12:23 AM |

QUOTE(unknown warrior @ Jul 18 2015, 12:26 AM) John 8:23 (NIV) - But he continued, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. I'm sorry, but they appear to discourage the act of reasoning, unless I am mistaken, and I do not mind being corrected.This verse Helps us to understand, there is a distinction. This is not an arrogance but just plain Fact that God's operation is different. John 3:31 (NIV) - The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth. The one who comes from heaven is above all. This verse Helps us to understand, the Natural World just cannot supersede God's Kingdom. It cannot touch God in anyway. 1 John 4:5 (NIV) - They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. All those videos that you posted conform to this truth. Now do you understand why I said; While it is said that God may be above above space-time and above our contemporary understanding of reality, it certainly has not laid out any rules that any form of reasoning should be discouraged.
