Animals

by unsure in

if humans have to suffer to have free will and to disprove satan's challenge to god as mentioned in the bible...then why the f*ck do animals have to suffer as well?

.

satan's challenge involved humans and not poor animals.. i'm looking for an honest explanation from believers.. at this point, the older i get, the less i believe in a god who is "love"..

God cursed the Earth because of sin. We and all creation get to see a world without God's good and full stewardship.

The paranormal.

by Lost in the fog in

i know that a lot of the people on here have turned their backs on the idea of a deity deciding that god does not exist.

but what about the unseen spirit world generally such as poltergeists, jinns, voodoo, etc.

if you have become agnostic, atheist, or just don't care since leaving, do you think that there are spirits out there or have you decided that is also hokum?

It's very real. Seeing was believing for me. I would be lying if I said otherwise.

The Sufficiency of Christ - Salvation

by JW Answers in

can we rely solely on christ and his sacrifice for our sins to be forgiven, or do we have to attribute our own works upon his finished work?

this video gives an explanation of the sacrifices made for israel under the law and what it meant at that time, and the sacrifice which christ made for ourselves under the age of grace today.

The charge that Jesus expects you to keep the Law comes from Matthew 5:17-20.

That's true up until Jesus' death. Once he fulfilled the Law, what was there to keep? No one could keep the Law perfectly, that's why he came.

Wow, those look awful, honestly. I didn't look through all of them, but I'm not sure who would benefit from them.

I didn't mean to accuse you of lying, I'm just saying that it's OK, ethically, for a Satanist to do so, as you set your own rules.

The concept of defining your own good works if you are already inclined for good.

I can tell you from personal experience that there is a spiritual world out there.

Lying is perfectly acceptable to Satanists, so that's also something to consider.

I'm fascinated by Satanists. They are an interesting and diverse group. I've seen Satanists seem to have a fascination with death and the occult. Do you relate? I see you have the tarot card of death as your avatar.

Languages, Dialects, Accents

by LoveUniHateExams in

just though i'd start a thread devoted to languages, dialects/sociolects and accents, with the idea being that posters can comment on any language, or dialect or accent of any language, on this thread.. any phrases, expressions or idioms that you find interesting are also welcome.

first, the subject of english accents came up on another thread.. the british isles have many different types of accent (although many of the dialects may be dying out), and if i start to take a closer look, i can't help but see 'patterns' .... in received pronunciation of standard english, the letter r is pronounced initially, between vowels, and after consonants, e.g.

red, arrow, break.

Fascinating Dio.

I love languages as well. I especially love the fact that most languages in Europe are related to one another in the language family called Indo-European.

For example, Father in this language group as follows:

English : father

Spanish : padre

German : vater

Portuguese : pai

Dutch : Vader

French : pére

Hindi : pita

Latin : pater

Greek : patéras

Icelandic : faðir

Danish, Swedish, Norwegian : far

Armenian : hayry

Punjabi : pita ji

The Slavic languages don't have a cognate with this word, but they do for many others like brother and sister.

In Russian brother and sister:

brat

Deegee,

Thanks for your kind words. I have been rather busy, I don't have time to give you an adequate response, but know that I am not the only one with these experiences.

Did you watch the video of the ex Satanist?
