warner

there is a bible verse that encapsulates your arguments perfectly

Hebrews 13:8

I'm re-reading it now and finding it quite interesting.



Anyone?

So, does the silence mean 'no, no one is reading or has read Jung's "Answer to Job" ' or does it just mean no one is reading the subject line?




Seriously. It's brief and very much to the point for both 'sides' of this fence.

Hi Warner,

>I guarantee you that the power of Almighty God is greater than China

'Guarantee'? Could you let me know the exact terms of this 'guarantee'? How much actual cash will you pay me if God turns out to not exist, or at least not to influence the Earth as much as China does?

Or you you perhaps mean 'think' when you say 'guarantee'?

Hi gif

By 'guarantee', I mean that you will eventually find out after death (or perhaps before)

##find out after death##

can you garantee that warner???

I'll continue to hammer away with Jung ...

A question which just came to me as I continue through 'Answer to Job' once more is:


If God is all-powerful, can He hide His intentions from Himself?


(Before anyone tries to play the 'logical impossibility' card, surely we can all acknowledge that modestly powerful humans perform this trick all the time.)

if he is all knowing then, no!

but

if he is all knowing then he is not all powerfull

but its a moot point because THERE IS NO god!!!!!!

Hi Warner,

>By 'guarantee', I mean that you will eventually find out after death (or perhaps before)

Mmm. I'm trying to think of any context where the usual useage of the word 'guarantee' might have that meaning.

'If you can find it cheaper, we'll refund double the difference after you die (or perhaps before).'

Not very convincing, is it?

I would have thought the original `post had been `parsed ad nauseum by now.

What's 'Almighty' mean?
What's 'God' mean?
What's 'America'? Does this mean the U.S., the North American Continent, the land masses of the Western hemisphere? Is it being used as a geographic term? Political? Economic? Something else?
Who is 'blinded' by this 'America'?
Where are these infinite other nations? What are they? In what way are they comparable?
What is meant by 'nation' anyway?

After all that is sorted out reasonably, then we can talk about warner's waranty.

anhaga,
I wasn't referring to Canada, if that gives you a hint

north america

central america

south america

latin america

the united states of america

the americas cup

??????????????????????

>> Who is 'blinded' by this 'America'?

Why, lots of nations .. surely
'western society' modelled on USA has been embraced world-wide

..there's even skyscrapers in Makka, and McDonalds burgers etc

##'western society' modelled on USA has been embraced world-wide

..there's even skyscrapers in Makka, and McDonalds burgers etc ##

well if the faithfull are following blindly, it can't be that bad, they followed Mo(pub) blindly and look where that has led them!!!

are you sure you are not being a little bit racist here, blaming a whole country for what you consider the ills of the world

hitler did that with the jews!!!

'Why, lots of nations .. surely'

what's a 'nation'?



surely, warner, you see that the point is that your original post is meaningless without voluminous definition of terms?


Even with such definition, I suspect it would still be meaningless.

'western society' modelled on USA has been embraced world-wide

so, being blinded means 'embracing'?

Eating a burger in Mecca is embracing 'America' (whatever that means)?


I'm eating a calzone right now. Does that mean I'm blinded by Italy?



So, nobody else has read 'Answer to Job'?
