The tunnel may improve your abilities which will improve your camera skills. Do you need a camera right now for anything in particular? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

Our Government is founded on a basic distrust of the people in charge. Checks and balances in government are really checks and balances on the selfish natures and corrupt potential of the people who rule. The comparison of our government with God's sovereignty isn't possible. By definition, God is (infinite) love, holy, and just. He is righteous by a perfect standard. He is the only one you can put your full trust in without fear of being let down. Sorry, I did not explain correctly again. I was getting at the point that rules do not matter if you do not believe the rule maker exists or you do not believe the rule maker is creating rules for your safety and happiness.

Why do you not maintain a physical presence amongst mankind that proves without a doubt your existence? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

I have no idea what you're talking about. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Satan is not in hell. His place is here on earth. God created Satan to be the most beautiful angel in heaven. Picture someone being so beautiful with the most heavenly voice, that's Satan. He was so vain, he rebelled against God so God punished him and exiled him. He's here on earth to pull people away from God, even Christians. That's his ultimate goal. That's how he gets even with God. Why did Satan rebel? (Rebellion in and of itself is not an evil action.) Whoa bro. That flew way over my head. Can you please break it down a bit for my simple mind? You do something wrong, you take credit. You do something right, God takes credit. God takes into account the things you did wrong but not the things you did right (that God took credit for) when judging you. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

So, everything you do wrong is because of you and God will take it into account when judging you but everything you do right is because of God and God will not take it into account when judging you? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

I am an outsider looking in but ... this thread appears to be nothing more than a personal attack in which you are also naming names. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

I am not saying I am perfect, I am saying that there is nothing I need to be saved from. The sin was rebellion.Satan isn't in hell. He's walking to and fro upon the earth seeking whom he may devour. Rebellion, can you be more precise? Kids rebel against their parents, I don't believe this is a good reason for parents to create Hell and send their kids there for an eternity of pain and suffering.

I thought all lawyers go to Hell ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

Savior, I don't need to be saved. Mediator, they are supposed to be neutral. Advocate, what are they advocating? PS: What (sin) did Satan do that caused God to send Satan to Hell? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

The purpose of the Law is to show the sinner of his sinfulness. The Law is like a mirror that you look into which shows you a reflection of your soul. Paul said he didn't know what sin was before he was shown the Law. What purpose is that? It appeals to the conscience. Those who leave out the realities of hell, judgment, and punishment should be charged with malpractice just like a physician. Until a person is convinced of the sickness, they will not appreciate or appropriate the cure. The Law brings about this realization. It does a person no good to know the rules if they don't believe in the rule maker. That is what this country is founded upon. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

Let's see... Jesus says to do one thing. Kallend (and Butters) say to do another. What to do?... Jesus taught differently to different people because people learn differently. By limiting the way in which you preach, you are limiting the people that will learn from you. (This same principle goes for teachers.) "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

I have no idea how you could possibly know that. However… By reading the replies to your posts. Depends on whose goal you’re referring. What is your goal then? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

Selfish? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

Having read many of your posts in many threads it appears as though more people are turned away by your preaching than are turned towards. If the goal is to turn more people towards than away then your preaching would be considered a disservice. I am not saying you are wrong or right about your God, I am saying you should think about changing the way you preach. (There is more to your God than judgement, Heaven, and Hell.)

So you suggest the government does not tax any investments? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
-
The government currently has limits on the amount and type of investments. I want the limits removed and the type broadened. I can agree with the general idea... I'd much rather have .gov entirely out of my retirement, though... Other than saying "Neener neener it's all you own fault", what would you to about people whose investments went bad (such as investing in Enron) to prevent them from starving in the streets in old age? To those whose investments went bad, keep working. For those unable to keep working due to physical or mental limitations, a welfare system that covers that basic necessities. "That looks dangerous."

I'd much rather have .gov entirely out of my retirement, though... Do you want tax free investments for retirement? If so, how would this be possible without some government involvement?

There is only one God. Do you lack the capacity to understand that the questions are directed to a God, any God, and not necessarily your God? In case you have not noticed, you are not converting anyone, you are turning people away, you are doing your God a disservice. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

What is your definition of civilized? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

I don't want the government in charge of retirement. I want them to allow companies and individuals to make tax free investments to be used for retirement. As far as health care and education ... if both were run by business (the goal of a business is to maximize profits) then health care costs would continue to rise, the wealthy would receive better health care, and the wealthy would receive better education.

This thread was meant to pose questions to a God, any God, not just your God. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

Replace Social Security with a way for individuals to make tax free investments. Against. We already have the right to bear arms. Against. Would hurt both big and small businesses. If the government expects us to balance our budgets than they should be expected to do the same. I don't think our taxes need to be reduced, I think our taxes need to be spent more appropriately. Agreed but I don't think funding is the problem. I think the systems currently in place are the problem. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
