  Disproving one verse of the Bible means proving another verse!

  by Ireneus in

  2. bible

  last week’s newsweek magazine (february 10, 2018) made a surgical strike on jws teaching that soul is something that can be “destroyed” (mathew 10:28) and man is ‘dust unto which he would return’ (genesis 3:19) when its article (the increasing signs that human consciousness remains after death) made this conclusion: soul “does not become annihilated just because we’ve crossed the threshold of death.” (http://www.newsweek.com/where-do-you-go-when-you-die-increasing-signs-human-consciousness-after-death-800443) interestingly, bible also contains verses that show man has an eternal aspect (eccl 3:5; 12:7).. science is now in the right direction in line with the prediction francis crick, co-discoverer of the double-helix dna, made: “it is not true that mere firing of neurons in the brain could indicate consciousness….

  physics has yet to explain how consciousness could come about through firing of neuron in the brain.”.

  this also explains why some of the gospels were not included in the canon.

  Ireneaus - As Earnest said correctly the article is reporting on recent discoveries about the process of death - it is not an instantaneous event.

  The last paragraphs of the article are not reporting on any scientific findings but on unsubstantiated rumours, at least some of which have proven to be fraudulent.

  Your comment that, 'Science is now in the right direction in line with the prediction Francis Crick', is unwarranted. There is no scientific support for consciousness after death. On the contrary everything that neuroscience has discovered in recent years supports the conclusion that we are our brains.

  No Bible = No God?

  some doubt about the bible completely, some partially.

  what if the bible turns out to be a product of humans, nothing divine.

  would you still believe in a creator?.

  that statement implies that a Creator must be a god moral and must be perfect which is not necessarily the case - ElderEtta

  This highlights the pointlessness of vague questions about 'god'. First define god and then we can talk.

  Let's deal with gods one at a time. 'Natural Evil' proves that the god of xtian theism does not exist.

  This is typical of the intellectual dishonesty of some xtians who resort to arguing for a vague concept of a first cause when what they actually mean is the god who will burn you in hell if you doubt his existence.

  Sorry if l touched raw nerves about peoples prior belief systems - atomant

  Why would anybody be sensitive about their prior beliefs on a ex-JW forum?

  It's your current belief in superstitions that you ought to be embarrassed about.

  Thank you Fred F, 'ideomotor' was the word I couldn't remember.

  It also explains the apparent success of dowsing.

  Would you still believe in a creator? I would. - Menrov

  Why would you believe in a creator? The complexity and diversity of life is explained by evolution.

  The wastefulness and cruelty of life argues strongly against a designer.

  For all you denialists play on a Ouija board for an hour and see what happens - atomant

  For all you superstitious sorts play on a Ouija board blindfolded for five minutes and see what happens.

  It is total bullshit.
