there seem to be certain unanswerable questions that only "apostates" would ask - ones that sort of send up a flare.. do other religions have these "you must be the debbil" fears of thought ?.
A proverb I put together awhile back by what I have experienced by my questions seems fitting here...
An unresearched attack or accusation leads one into a battle on the enemies terms....
Questions when used as a weapon lead to answers, lies or silence from opposers.
Perhaps some people don't like to be silenced..or have to make up a lie on the fly to cover up their ignorance?
how many find that they need or want to be on the forum at least once a day?
do you like keeping up with fellow posters and friends or do like being able to give your thoughts without the fear of being criticized?
i look at some of the amounts that some have posted wow and i am no better for only being here less than a month, it is a great place to talk and get loads of wisdom from others on a variety of subjects, thanks everyone for the thoughtful expressions and heartfelt posts.. abr.
Is there an universal definition for addiction?
Give me that information...and I can better decide if I meet the criteria......
what would it be like if god was among us?
would our privacy be gone?
it would be like a mindreader among us?
A mind reader among us would be the worlds best and richest poker player...and never able to be lied to or manipulated by anyone...couple that with someone who really knows the future....
There would be NO defense against an attack from a being with these capabilities.
Our thoughts and secrets allow us to be individuals...if someone knows these better than our selves..are we really individuals any longer..or a part of?
Could I become an individual from myself?

Am I off base with this? Or is there some sort of plan that it would be no big deal to have bad thoughts? Do angels have privacy of thought?
Are they able to have secrets?
This popped in my head yesterday and has me a little confused...
Any thoughts?
why would someone want a position such as this?
i mean at some point the boss must work harder than the slaves to supervise them...then becomes a slave himself.. .
what is the incentive to work and learn ones way to the top..if it means more work, responsibility, and headaches?.
If I wanted to have to do 6 peoples jobs I would like to be paid the same as 6 people do.
or does the belief turn into truth once proven and verified?

Is there anyway to share the added workload by sharing the knowledge? or is self government and self supervision something that we need to be protected from and called "anarchy" by the more powerful and more intelligent people? Or is it a goal we should be pursuing?
if satan wanted freedom..shouldn't he search for the truth if nothing else is working?
(truth sets free?).
isn't that what a rebel wants?
cause he invented it? And can give the inside secrets to it away if he CHOOSES to. Even to everyone.
can appliers of an invented concept defeat the inventor? I am guessing not.
would a person wanting others to be dependant upon them see a society of self-disiplined, self relieant, people capable of solving their own problems as "anarchy" defined?.
why does everyone want other to depend on them so bad?
is their independance a threat to their plans and intentions?.

Isn't that what a rebel wants? If he did...and decided to follow Jesus and His orders..wouldn't the master of "evil" be the greatest threat of all to the remaining evil and those wanting it to continue?
He could expose and educate people on how it works..so they would be hip to it.
Is that how a repentant honest sinner can change into willing messiah, and actually save people by his knowledge of evil and scam and tactics?
protection through education?
Would it work?
