Sure, however, according to the model (with the "=" representing the divide between heaven and earth), you need to accept Christ (as prescribed in the Bible) to be Christ-like. Additionally, the model represented in the Old Testament era was Adam and the one represented in the New Testament era was Christ (two different eras of time with two different representations/persons). As the Bible states that Christ was the "new Adam." Also, your suggested refreshing rearrangement of the equation does not fit with the overall scheme (not to mention that the equation has no addition in it). Hope that helps a little.
It helps not all because you can NOT change the definition of terms part way through. Even if there were exact correspondences. Which you haven't shown, all you've done is tag a misunderstood (by you) equation to scripture without proving or showing any valid link between them whatsoever. god = sin is close enough for me. Sums up religion pretty much. Cesspool! Believe me, the only feedback you're likely to get will be far harsher than this.
Christenstein, oh Christenstein, that equation may make sense to you. Good luck in finding someone who agrees with that logic.
God creates everything, yet he does not claim it His. God is in everything, yet we do not see Him. Yes, but all that stuff is not specific to Jesus, but all of us. We are flesh and Christ is ammong us, we can become the Christ.
It's a concommitant of the maths, surely you understand that. Regardless of the "overall scheme" you can't stop the computation just because you don't like the results. No addition? What does AND mean? Mathematically its an addition. Two AND two is four. That's not addition?
LOL. You can't be serious. If the Bible explains everything about the connection between God and nature, then how the flying fuck does the Bible not know the Earth revolves around the sun? Why does the Bible blatantly lie and claim that the sun revolves around the Earth?? :bugeye:
http://www.godvsthebible.com/chapter03.htm Proof the Bible is one big lie. THE EARTH REVOLVES AROUND THE SUN, DAMNIT! Why does the Bible try to tell me otherwise? Fucking prophets. How dare the Bible lie to me? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
But still, if she thinks that the cognitive functions really are reliable then she would perhaps experiance it as knowledge, even though not external, and thus has the right to say that in her inner being, she knows - since she believe it.
The Bible doesn't tell specifically that the sun revolves around the earth, it uses that framework, since the people of that time believed it to be so. Actually the sun does revolve around the earth, in fact the entire universe do, from the perspective of earth, or perhaps the perspective of someone looking at earth Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Just to show you that there are other ways of perceiving things.
And since sandy has also said she experiences god with her heart not her mind, then is the heart now an organ capable of cogitation?
Albert Einstein said, paraphrased, "I began as an atheist, but then after many years of seeing how all of life, and the universe was intelligently made, I then changed my mind, and believed that there was God, an intelligent guiding force behind everything." Einstein concluded that which had already been said about 2000 years earlier: Romans 1:20 " For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse"
As all of the nervs are a extension of the brain, why not? Even if not, we still are able to feel love and truth in the heart subjectivly.
Not think, but perhaps experiance sensations. But "feel" may very well be a reason for "believe", and if you trust your inner sensations so much that you believe it to be knowledge in your heart, then it's perfectly allright to tell people as long as you say that it is what you feel in your heart. You feel it to be true, you know it in your heart.
