im quite curious if there was a baby that was born but it came from a mother and father and it didn't even sin once in is life time would it go to heaven?
this is all the Teachings of Paul! Original Sin, doesnt exsist, and Jesus Did not Die for anybody, cuz we also beleived Christ wasn't crusified!, Even I if i spoke logically i would say "I want to be accountable for MY OWN actions, not for somebody elses !"
Now About Adam, he did Sin yes, and He Prayed for Fogivness and he got his Forgivness from Allah, so the Sin he made, is Forgotten, Forgiven ! OVER!
Peace and Blessings to all the Prophets of God From Adam to Jesus and Mohammed
sister pls there is no sure thing as original sin. how can we human beings be resposible 4 what adam and eve did. they did not ask me or u or any other person on earth b4 eating the forbidden fruit. so why should we pay the price for it. it is a fabrication from christaindom just to brainwash the world that jesus died 4 our sins. at the sametime why should God kill his own son to 4give us our sins. sorry i dont beleive in this original sin. pls think and reason and also reflect. may God giude us
So according to you we're born into sin and if we don't accept Jesus we're condemned to hell. Alrighty with that logic would you agree that a baby who dies minutes or seconds after birth is going to hell? What a loving god lol
I dig your explanation of what occurred to Adam and Eve after they ate the fruit. I've heard it explained many times, but not the way you've explained it. Made so much sense to me:)
why do animals get diseases such as cancer? are they sinful too? if so, why aren't they given the oppotunity to repent? do they go to hell? or do they just go nowhere?
It's not that animals are sinful, it's just that when Adam sinned, death entered the world and became a part of the existance of everything that lives on this planet. Diseases such as cancer then became a part of the equation of our existance because of Adam sinning.
See, as far as I understand, he was given dominion over all of creation so when he sinned against God, everything was cursed. Don't too much understand the whys and hows of it all, but I do know that all things die because of what he did. Hope this will give you some insight on this matter:)
sablechicken, you have said you feel called to tell about the gods but you have not told your own story. Thousands of other people tell the exact same story and we all know it so what you tell is boring. What would be interesting is your story. You had some experience that convinced you (incorrectly) that there is a god or gods. What was that? I invite you to examine that story in the light of modern science to see the alternative natural explanations of your experience.
The story of Adam and Eve as written in the bible was a dream. A dream of how the world of man came to be, written in a way that the common person could understand. The author was Mosses then edited over 300 times. Tell me why do you miss the spiritual message and so focus on the physical aspects of the bible.
God has a plan? You don't know that. Prove it. I think you made that up. If god knew that they would eat, then they had no choice, enh? They and you are really robots. Your thinking is warped by the story. Did adam have a penis before eve existed?
Yes God has a plan. Jesus is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.
btw Yes Adam had a penis. If he didn't how would he pee? Through his belly button?....now did Adam have a belly button? now there is a question for the free-thinkers.
Ok, let's be a little more precise: did adam have testicles before eve existed? He didn't need those to pee. Originally he didn't need them to reproduce. The all-seeing god found out Adam was lonely (another paradox!) and did major surgery. Most men would be concerned about this, but it is not reported. The bellybutton is not a mystery for free thinkers - Adam is a character in a fable that doesn't say, so there is no answer. For you it is a problem, but the testicles problem is much worse.
You are having difficulties with the idea of man being created in the image of God. This is what sets us apart from the rest of the animals. It is not about testicals, which man has in common with animals. People are creative and have imaginations, language, complex emotions, we make art etc...it is things like this that not only set us apart from animals but also a lines us with "the image of God.
I don't have any difficulties about god - all those paradoxes go away when one realizes that there are no gods or, to be more accurate, the probability of any gods is so small as to be negligible. I think you agree that Zeus doesn't/didn't exist so the there is no problem of how he avoids burns on his hand while holding the lightning. You have problems because you want to believe in an inconsistent myth. You haven't answered the simple question: when Adam was created, did he have testicles?
Sorry sablechicken, I didn't mean to be obscure. In the classical physics view there are two possibilities for whether Adam was created with testicles: either he had them or he didn't have them. In quantum mechanics, which I certainly am not an expert in, there is a third possibility: both occur at the same time. You can read about this as the Schrodinger's Cat problem. If that happened, according to quantum mechanics, even god would not know the state. But that's impossible.
Ok, so that leaves us with the classical states. One or the other must be true. If Adam did have testicles, God made a mistake to not immediately create Eve. If Adam did not have testicles, then it is really hard to see why this major change to Adam was not reported and God made a mistake in his initial design. All possibilities are not sensible except one: God is a myth.
"It's like the problem of a half dead, half alive cat it a box...some how relates to Adams testicals, that you think, that God forgot to make....so therefore without a doubt there is not a god." I'm really confused now...I'm going to have to sleep on this new "missing testicals" theory, because I'm still lost as to what you are saying.
Before eating the apple they didn't know right from wrong so eating the apple was not wrong. What a nasty god to trap them like that. Solution: there is no god.
God has a plan for our lives. He knew that they would eat of that tree before they did it, and before they took a bite, God planned to send His only Son to pay the price in our place. All so you can choose or reject Him. If it were different, we would be robots, there is no really love in that.
Who told you they didn't know it was wrong? They knew it was wrong, God told them they must not eat from that tree and on that basis they knew it was wrong. What the Bible says is that they did not have knowledge of good and evil. They only knew goodness through knowing God. After the devil tempted them they had knowledge also of evil.
lalapalooza1980, that's contradictory. They didn't know good from evil. Period. So they were told not to do something but could not understand the consequences. It's a pretty stupid and/or nasty being who set them up like that or ... the simpler solution to this idiotic tale is that there is no god, it's just a story. Are you unable to actually think?
They knew the consequences farvision, of course they did. God told them what would happen if they ate of the tree. They chose of their own free will to disobey God. God could have did away with man there and then and we would have deserved it. Instead He became our saviour conquering sin and death...
If you actually came up with some reasonable evidence of a god (any god! any evidence gathered from nature!) free thinkers would listen with great curiosity. But I've never seen that happen and now I know from many many experiences that religious people are too ignorant to generate credible evidence. The intelligen design crowd makes terrific blunders at every turn, and their arguments have all been countered.
That leaves people who spout bible phrases. But quoting from a 2000 year old book that was edited many times by primitives is not going to prove anything! One may as well try to figure out how the universe works by reading Grimm's Fairy Tales. You have to look at the universe to know what is true about the universe.
You 'free thinkers' all sound the same, you're just like carbon copies of each other. The universe that you look at is your evidence. Do you really believe everything came from nothing and it's all random chance? When you have, lets face it, really no evidence at all to back that up. You 'reasonable people' all shy away from abiogenesis. I wonder why that is.
So look up "bible contradictions". Learn some thermodynamics, chemistry, physics, molecular biology and genetics. But my bet is that you are LAZY and unable to learn these things. Also, you don't see contradictions because you have been taught to ignore them on pain of going to Hell. You are not strong enough to think for yourself so you are willfully ignorant!
She is brainwashed. Jesus was bor t a virgin, therefore he has no Y chromosome, that makes him a girl. The bible is a blasphemy agianst science and reality, and based on (plagiarized) by the Jews from Babylon. All the earth is the fruit of God,m God has sinned agisnt mankind for all the suffering man endurs. Shame on you, God.
No, we don't have to accept your confused view that we become born into sin. Sin is a made up construct that you bought from the religious scam organization. Ok. So did Adam have a penis before Eve was made? If yes, for what purpose? If not, then why wasn't the major surgery to make it reported in the bible? Was it in the image of the god? If so, who does the god use it with? The solution to these puzzles is simple ... there is no god. Think about it.
If illnesses and cancer are brought on by evolution, how in the world did life not only survive but improve over millions of years. Natural selection didn't weed it out but kept it now?
We are going to mess up our food because we don't understand that this what God gave us. We think it just evolved and we are going to make it better. Better for what? Eating or burning?
Sure, I'm a molecular biologist so I know exactly what they do when they make GMO (genetically modified organisms) - I've done it myself in the lab. Scientists were initially extremely concerned about this - look up Asilomar and Recombinant DNA. But we then learned that transposable elements do this kind of thing all the time. Corn is a nice example - we engineered it to be a really good food. The same with bananas and I'm sure many other foods. We engineered dogs out of wolves.
Sure and I'm a farmer. Wolves and dogs can natural mate. Strawberries and fish have never and would never natural. I fear the future of this much more than lightning.
I'm glad to know you are a farmer. Farmers are very important. Have you seen the videos of the the wild chihuahua herds in Mexico? As for GMO - I'm most worried about additional allergic reactions. The only difference is the speed, ease and range of modification, not that we are modifying our domestic animals and plants.
There is no difference between micro- and macroevolution. Just the timescale you are looking at is different. And for humans, who are supposed to become not older than 50 years, cancer is nearly meaningless. Bacteria and viruses are evolving, too, so that multicellular life has to develop better immuno-mechanisms.
Who says that people are not supposed to live more than 50 years? btw when it comes to macro-evolution it completely denys what all farmers know about breeding animals, and that there are limitations that can not be crossed, no matter how intensive the breeding program is.
In the stone-age, without proper health-care humans died at the age of 40. A 60 year-old human has severe problems to keep up with a young one when it comes to bones, joints and muscles. Without civilization elderly people would be either eaten by carnivores or left behind. What limitations in breeding do you mean? Please specify.
I think you simply lack the education to comment publicly on this type of thing. go back to biblicly defined role as a female and find someone to either serve or breed with.
Nztim2007 you want to talk about women's roles~ It was women that were the first people to meet Jesus after He had risen from the dead. Jesus told these women to go and tell others about Him. I am doing what I am biblically called to do.
"I would like to know more of your opinions as well"
One can begin to understand where I'm coming from, by viewing my first nine favorites. If you view only one, make it "To Tolerate.." Watch InReasonWeTrust's into, then go to his link and watch Chris Hedges' speech. It is over an hour, so you'll have to want to take the time. It's worth it, though. For a shorter version, watch the Hedges interview, "Christian Fascism In America?!"
I don't hate Christians. My parents were, I was raised one, and have friends that are. What angers me, are people who claim to know things that are unknowable, i.e., the mind of God. Absolute certainty about God is dangerous. True spiritual people have humility. They know human beings are fallible, and can be fallible in matters of faith, too. Most fundamentalist Christians I've come across lack humility. If you read closely you'll see, most of my comments are related to that.
SecularNATION, I just watched Hedges 1, 2 & 3. Now I know where you got the flat earth story. I'm sorry that I was not able to get through the Hedges videos when we first met. Watching it I realized that I got about half way through the second one when I stopped watching it before.
Thank you for taking the time to watch. If someday you have an hour to spare, consider watching the longer version. He gives a powerful speech that is like a like a sermon. He definitely has some of his Dad in him.
Also, there was a big debate recently between Chris Hedges and Sam Harris. Harris is a well known atheist, right up there with Richard Dawkins. Hedges argues against Harris. Thought you might be interested to know that.
have spent here. this is a great place to be, nothing like it in the known universe. when the bible describes Eden, it is really describing the Earth, reread it if you have to its true.
shabocentury, yes I agree with you the Earth is a wonderful place. I am grad to be alive. When God talks about a restored Eden, ever tear will be wiped away, and it will be even better.
"Be fruitful and multiply" has led us to the edge of disaster
with global warming but YOU FOLKS won't wake up and then
you will rejoice in the disaster when it comes. You are disgusting for your willful ignorance. There will not be an Eden on earth because of you unless we get rid of this pestilence called 'religion'.
you can't say that we have disease because of sin. that's just not true. it's true that some sins cause diseases and other harms to the world, but you really can't say that i have allergies because i'm sinful. the word "sin" is put on actions to say that they're morally wrong. diseases are physical things that are separate from the moral world, so the two cannot mix. but i do agree that bad things happen because of our sin, just not the disease thing.
The whole world suffers because of original sin. I'm not saying that if one has a disease that it was directly because of a sin that they did, but sometimes it does add to it.
God said....in the day ye eat thereof, ye shall surely die!"Adam and Eve suffered spiritual death the very instant they disobeyed God and their naked bodies bore mute testimony to the fact. God created, but Satan corrupted! "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned" Romans 5:12
afundie Please tell me and All who will read this the "lies Jeaus told?" " the food He Stole" BTW Can you kill to a fig tree with your speech? And tell us if you can why you think the Sabbath is Holy. if not why?
Adam and Eve were born into a sinful world. God sent original sin (the serpent, Satan) to Earth to corrupt his perfect creation, who not knowing sin couldn't tell a lie from the truth, so that they would stumble and God would have an excuse to send billions of people to burn forever in hell. God derives pleasure from torture, and sin is just the lame excuse.
Jesus told many lies, stole food, destroyed a fig tree, and worked on the sabbath. It's not a sin when Jesus does it.
afundie, You say that John 14:14 is a lie. In John 14:27 Jesus says, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
In Mark 10:18 Jesus is addressing "The Rich Young Man" who by the way was a good person by human standards, but our good deeds are not what will get us to heaven. Jesus puts the focus back on God, because this rich young man did not know that Jesus and the Father are one.
I'm not saying Jesus definitely didn't exist. I do not know. However, there is a growing number of scholars who believe that to be the case. After all, there is very little evidence outside the Bible of his existence. I will say this, option 'e' is certainly more likely than option 'c'.
You have got to be kidding SecularNATION. How do you explain the early Church. Just the other day I met a Muslim man the family own the land that is the spot that Jesus Christ ascended into Heaven. The Bible far from stand alone.
Yes, there is proof! This is holy ground because of the proof. You may not like it, that doesn't stop it from being true. These are real place, really people say this happen. Real people talk with and saw Jesus Christ after he rose from the dead. over 2000yrs later it has gone so far past the evidence of the Bible. And the Bible is a testament within its self
No there is not. If there were, it would be a an established historic fact recognized as such by most everyone. That is clearly not the case. And, if it were fact, no faith would be required. Chicken, you are yet another foolish, ignorant fundamentalist who doesn't understand the difference between faith and fact.
You do not understand the difference between evidence and proof, either. Chicken, I don't have a "need to call people names". I only do so to those that deserve it. You fit that category. Know this. If you choose to continue to go out in public and make ignorant statements, you may be called ignorant. It's entirely appropriate.
SecularNATION, I "deserve it" because I don't view the world the same as you! You think that if you ridicule me enough I will conform to your thinking?
"I 'deserve it' because I don't view the world the same as you!"
chicken, you deserve it because you don't know simple things that any educated child knows. Faith doesn't = Fact, and Evidence doesn't necessarily = Proof.
Chicken, speaking of conforming to your thinking, why are you evangelizing on YouTube? Do you believe you are going to get nonbelievers to conform to YOUR thinking? Do you really believe you are equipped for the job?
If there is a God (I have my own personal testamony as evidence) then it is very important that I evangelize on YouTube. I know that I don't have the power within myself to change your mind, only the Holy Spirit can do the work in your heart. There are people much more equipped than I for the job, but that doesn't mean I should give up.
First of all, testimony is spelled with an I. Good grief, a Christian and you don't even know how to spell testimony.
Secondly, you say your personal testimony is your evidence for God. If that is so, why haven't you shared it? It's amazing how many Christians come to YouTube and make video after video about "Jesus", but won't even tell their own experience, or anything much about themselves. Yet, they expect us to listen. Unbelievable.
It's hard to share about yourself. I think that is why you have not made any videos SecularNATION. The testimony (did I spell it right?) of Jesus is more important than ours. Some day if your really nice I might share, it's a good story.
"It's hard to share about yourself. I think that is why you have not made any videos"
I haven't made a video because: 1)I don't have adequate software as of yet, and 2)I'm not quite sure what type to make. In the meantime, I'll have to remain a looked down upon, second class YouTube citizen, I suppose.
"The testimony of Jesus is more important than ours"
Maybe so, but we've heard it a thousand times, already. No need to repeat it. Untold numbers of Christians have given their public testimony. When you refuse to say how God has made a difference in YOUR life, your words ring all the more hollow.
Well, do you know what I think is funny? I put all the comments on this page up on my reader....well...some days I think my spelling is getting better, but it sure doesn't look that way on this conversation.
I really do need someone to grade my comments now and then.
So secularNation where do u live? America is one nation under God, God. God/ Under God. If that changes the whole world is UNDER GOD and when HE steps down i hope it is gentle. Those who HE loves HE loves, For God so loves the world HE GAVE JESUS if you believe on Jesus you will not perish, you will have life forever. Get a life Get eternal life. Granmama Carol OH YEA, i do not return comments without a face.
"In God We Trust" was put on all paper currency by an Act of Congress in 1955; the phrase was declared the national motto by an Act of Congress in 1956 and first appeared on paper currency in 1957
afundie....To get complete understanding of a scripture you need to read before or after the scripture or the whole chapter to see if there are certain CONDITIONS that he is asking us to meet first. God is not a man that he should lie.... Number 23:19 (nor a magic jeannie at your command. Conditions will meet his standard not ours.)
In His name, Jesus name right? that means those who ask are believers, those believers are saved by grace, and a grace filled life will lead on to ask concerning that grace, wanting more grace more of the Holy spirit. More endwelling of Him who is the counselor
Number 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? Jesus spoke of the devil being the lier in John 8:44 He was a murderer from the BEGINNING, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
There is nothing to understand, about original sin. It`s an illogical, inhuman, unreasonable proposition, not worth any consideration.

It's a pretty stupid and/or nasty being who set them up like that or ... the simpler solution to this idiotic tale is that there is no god, it's just a story. Are you unable to actually think?
farvision 4 years ago
They knew the consequences farvision, of course they did. God told them what would happen if they ate of the tree. They chose of their own free will to disobey God. God could have did away with man there and then and we would have deserved it. Instead He became our saviour conquering sin and death...

If you actually came up with some reasonable evidence of a god (any god! any evidence gathered from nature!) free thinkers would listen with great curiosity. But I've never seen that happen and now I know from many many experiences that religious people are too ignorant to generate credible evidence. The intelligen design crowd makes terrific blunders at every turn, and their arguments have all been countered.
farvision 4 years ago
That leaves people who spout bible phrases. But quoting from a 2000 year old book that was edited many times by primitives is not going to prove anything! One may as well try to figure out how the universe works by reading Grimm's Fairy Tales. You have to look at the universe to know what is true about the universe.

You 'free thinkers' all sound the same, you're just like carbon copies of each other. The universe that you look at is your evidence. Do you really believe everything came from nothing and it's all random chance? When you have, lets face it, really no evidence at all to back that up. You 'reasonable people' all shy away from abiogenesis. I wonder why that is.

No, we don't have to accept your confused view that we become born into sin. Sin is a made up construct that you bought from the religious scam organization. Ok. So did Adam have a penis before Eve was made? If yes, for what purpose? If not, then why wasn't the major surgery to make it reported in the bible? Was it in the image of the god? If so, who does the god use it with? The solution to these puzzles is simple ... there is no god. Think about it.

We have illnesses and cancer because of evolution. There is no proof of a God.
Johannes9126 4 years ago
If illnesses and cancer are brought on by evolution, how in the world did life not only survive but improve over millions of years. Natural selection didn't weed it out but kept it now?
There is only proof of micro-evolotion.
sablechicken 4 years ago
Sablechicken: diseases are what remains when you
eliminate the deadly genes. Viruses get more temperate
over time because killing the host reduces them.
Cancer occurs because the young have already reproduced,
old people don't matter for passing on genes.
Our best bet is to actually understand what's going
on, including evolution (not 'micro evolution')
- that puts us in a position to do something about
things like cancer.

Have you heard of GMO's.
We are going to mess up our food because we don't understand that this what God gave us. We think it just evolved and we are going to make it better. Better for what? Eating or burning?
sablechicken 4 years ago
Sure, I'm a molecular biologist so I know exactly what they do when they make GMO (genetically modified organisms) - I've done it myself in the lab. Scientists were initially extremely concerned about this - look up Asilomar and Recombinant DNA. But we then learned that transposable elements do this kind of thing all the time. Corn is a nice example - we engineered it to be a really good food. The same with bananas and I'm sure many other foods. We engineered dogs out of wolves.

Sure and I'm a farmer. Wolves and dogs can natural mate. Strawberries and fish have never and would never natural. I fear the future of this much more than lightning.
sablechicken 4 years ago
I'm glad to know you are a farmer. Farmers are very important. Have you seen the videos of the the wild chihuahua herds in Mexico? As for GMO - I'm most worried about additional allergic reactions. The only difference is the speed, ease and range of modification, not that we are modifying our domestic animals and plants.
farvision 4 years ago
There is no difference between micro- and macroevolution. Just the timescale you are looking at is different. And for humans, who are supposed to become not older than 50 years, cancer is nearly meaningless. Bacteria and viruses are evolving, too, so that multicellular life has to develop better immuno-mechanisms.
Johannes9126 4 years ago
Who says that people are not supposed to live more than 50 years? btw when it comes to macro-evolution it completely denys what all farmers know about breeding animals, and that there are limitations that can not be crossed, no matter how intensive the breeding program is.
sablechicken 4 years ago
In the stone-age, without proper health-care humans died at the age of 40. A 60 year-old human has severe problems to keep up with a young one when it comes to bones, joints and muscles. Without civilization elderly people would be either eaten by carnivores or left behind. What limitations in breeding do you mean? Please specify.

One can begin to understand where I'm coming from, by viewing my first nine favorites. If you view only one, make it "To Tolerate.." Watch InReasonWeTrust's into, then go to his link and watch Chris Hedges' speech. It is over an hour, so you'll have to want to take the time. It's worth it, though. For a shorter version, watch the Hedges interview, "Christian Fascism In America?!"
SecularNATION 4 years ago
I don't hate Christians. My parents were, I was raised one, and have friends that are. What angers me, are people who claim to know things that are unknowable, i.e., the mind of God. Absolute certainty about God is dangerous. True spiritual people have humility. They know human beings are fallible, and can be fallible in matters of faith, too. Most fundamentalist Christians I've come across lack humility. If you read closely you'll see, most of my comments are related to that.

SecularNATION, I just watched Hedges 1, 2 & 3. Now I know where you got the flat earth story. I'm sorry that I was not able to get through the Hedges videos when we first met. Watching it I realized that I got about half way through the second one when I stopped watching it before.

you can't say that we have disease because of sin. that's just not true. it's true that some sins cause diseases and other harms to the world, but you really can't say that i have allergies because i'm sinful. the word "sin" is put on actions to say that they're morally wrong. diseases are physical things that are separate from the moral world, so the two cannot mix. but i do agree that bad things happen because of our sin, just not the disease thing.

Adam and Eve were born into a sinful world. God sent original sin (the serpent, Satan) to Earth to corrupt his perfect creation, who not knowing sin couldn't tell a lie from the truth, so that they would stumble and God would have an excuse to send billions of people to burn forever in hell. God derives pleasure from torture, and sin is just the lame excuse.
Jesus told many lies, stole food, destroyed a fig tree, and worked on the sabbath. It's not a sin when Jesus does it.

In Mark 10:18 Jesus is addressing "The Rich Young Man" who by the way was a good person by human standards, but our good deeds are not what will get us to heaven. Jesus puts the focus back on God, because this rich young man did not know that Jesus and the Father are one.

First of all, testimony is spelled with an I. Good grief, a Christian and you don't even know how to spell testimony.
Secondly, you say your personal testimony is your evidence for God. If that is so, why haven't you shared it? It's amazing how many Christians come to YouTube and make video after video about "Jesus", but won't even tell their own experience, or anything much about themselves. Yet, they expect us to listen. Unbelievable.
