Right and God came to you in the form of a brainwashed human preacher right? Dont claim you know what God is thinking, Its offensive even to atheists. |

Not for the one giving birth it doesn't! Would you care to elaborate please, Mathew?

Mathew, you seem to start a thread and post a few things and abandon it. Do you want to have some dialog or are you just trying to 'save' us. If it is the latter you aren't going to get far with cryptic comments like this. quote: I'm now older and have been given some knowledge concerning GOD's purpouse of His creation
Fact no 1: Birth = Mercy.
I am not stupid, but what in the hell is that suppose to mean?? Typing a couple of random words and connecting them with an equal sign sure isn't impressing me...

If I knew then what I know now then I would know more now than I know. |

I think that Mathew is using a different meaning for "indisputable" than the rest of the world. After all, many people are born into a veritable living hell for one reason or another. At the very least, I have a problem seeing that as mercy. |

Man, I am sick for a few days and look at what I missed.
It looks like you had a personal revelation Mathew. While it may be personal to you, posting it on this board will not get you comfermation in it unless you are looking for a reality check.
Please clarify your fact so we can give you that reality check.

Mathew, I particularly like how you do not even attempt to respond to anything asked of you, you simple state another "Fact" that makes not sense and is completely unsupported.
Let me try one!
Fact #3 Mathew = psychotic

If I knew then what I know now then I would know more now than I know. |

It would appear that most of the Christian world disputes this assertion, for the simple fact that Adam brought sin into the world, while Jesus (the second Adam) redeems sin. Put in different (Christian) terms, Adam marked the introduction of human bodies to the world, while Jesus marked the introduction of the "true" human spirit.
Only in terms of the introduction of something to the world are they similar. They certainly aren't "equal." |
