    I have presented my case.

    Perhaps you should know I have little time for those 'religious' conservatives who preach a 'Prosperity Gospel', and then proceed (hypocritically) to attack the Pope for his views on the economy, social justice, and poverty .

    Jesus said:

    It's easier to thread a needle with a ship's cable than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.


    Certainly in our modern world with its abundant resources, the existence of poverty is the ultimate injustice.​

    You would be correct if I was a Christian. I am not.

    I do not need a savior. Please view that first link of the O.P. It shows why I do not need a savior. That is also why Gnostic Christianity is a universalist religion with no hell concept, which is an invention of the revealed religions.

    Sin is something we must all do. If not, there would be some of us who would not sin. Our instinct are wired to have us compete and competition produces losers who would think evil has come their way and that is what we call sin. It is a necessary evil and thus good if you look at evolution as good.

    Regards

    You think your not existing children would not agree with me if I would say to them "Your daddy is an idiot!"? I expect they would answer "Nothing new!" if they would exist.

    You think only in this way because you are a tolerant, modern, enlightened, progressive human being interested in science and heaven on Earth and not someone who using the logic of a mass-murdering Pre-Nazi idiot like Philip Sheridan, who said the godless sentence: "The only good Indians I ever saw were dead".

    What the idiot says, who calls himself here "gnostic Christian", is by the way nothing else than an propagandistic intrigant form of militant belief in atheism. And men - not women - are by the way too the masters of intrigant behavior on our planet

    What a luck that you are the "normal" and "harmless" mainstream. Nevertheless somehow I doubt about that your "species" - nor the planet where your "species" lives on - will be able to survive; not without Christians and other spiritual women and men.

    "I'm not astonished about" is not an English sentence? Since when?

    There is a saying that Ignorance is Power.......
    there is a lot of truth in that adage.... because......
    I have noticed that many Christians who have very little knowledge.............

    tend quite often to have greater levels of faith.... to work miracles......
    and heal the sick............

    Check:
    Exodus 6:3
    Psalms 93:18
    Isaiah 12:2
    Isaiah 26:4

    .

    P.S. I loved your video! That "Celtic Woman" group is always fabulous. Beautiful too.

    That would mean you've provided a reason to believe Samuel was lying; and obviously you've done no such thing.

    Something tells me you're oblivious to the fact that this verse could be every bit as applicable to a homeless guy as to Bill Gates.​

    it's English but it isn't the sentence.

    Your nonsense isn't making any sense. And I'm not interested in your s*** ass YouTube videos.

    War is the ultimate insanity, because all nations have equal measures of good and evil, and in war the good are destroyed as well as the evil. Samuel was the ultimate liar. (Be careful with that "chosen people" nonsense).


    The freedom of choice that is available to individuals is complex and subject to internal and external factors; we all need assistance at some time or other.

    Jesus said: Love God and love one another.

    Justice demands equality of opportunity ie elimination of poverty, as the starting point, which ought to be guaranteed by the community, through its government.

    Exodus 6:3 "I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty, but by my name the Lord I did not make myself known to them."
    ...

    Now I found it - you use the King James version. There is written: "And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them."

    As far as I heard this translation creates a not existing word. The Jews wrote the name of god (~"I am") with the vocal signs of "adonai" and spoke something like "the Lord". We normally use "Lord God" in this case.

    Psalm 93 has by the way only 5 sentences. I guess you think about Psalm 83.

    I hate by the way "theology". We spoke here about some sentences of the bible - but we know now not better what could be really interesting for a believer in god.

    Aha. You are not interested in anything what I say or feel - completely independent whether I use correct or incorrect English. ... This remembers me to this:

    I don't understand what you're saying and when I said that to you the first time you became pig-headed I just don't give a s*** what you have to say because I don't want to talk to you you're not a pleasant person. And if you act like that everyone else is going to feel that way.


    if it's a language barrier you can just say English isn't your first language it's okay. Maybe you have difficulty typing I can forgive all that if you would just correct the mistakes you made or better explain what you said but you're posting this gibberish that makes no kind of sense.

    I guess this is humor. Very interesting phenomenon.

    To tell others they are idiots makes no one not to not an idiot. The problem: There are reasons why people are bombing down a world trade center. I fear you are one of this reasons.

    Wisdom is a knowledge of the heart. No one has to learn it - but who learns nothing in life grows only old and becomes not wise. It's always good to be naive like a child - but it's never good not to try to learn. So if someone likes to heal sick people: call a doctor.

    Seems you and your yellow family are amused about to watch me how not to learn English. Who am I in your eyes? A cockroach in Guantanamo Bay?

    Okay: You like to demonstrate that everyone in the world is an idiot, who speaks not your very special Anglo-Saxon dialect of the German language.
