@"emancipate" You have literally provided the Jesus quotes that show him taking the Laws of religious observances that the Pharisees thought were impo...

@"Fooloso4" You put a lot of work in to be right about something that you couldn’t be more wrong about. Jesus explicitly said that a person must be bo...

@"Fooloso4" Jesus never preached a single word about observing a religious observance. Not one. In fact, Jesus had numerous encounters with the "Teach...

Gee, this thread has mysteriously disappeared from “All Discussions”. Seems another moderator has decided what’s best for a forum is groups of confuse...

@"schopenhauer1" There is absolutely no evidence that the writers of the Gospels did anything more than interview witnesses and simply write down what...

@"Fooloso4" You can’t even understand that dietary laws and circumcision are both mere religious observances and not the internal “sins” Jesus preache...

@"EugeneW" You don’t write cogently.

@"schopenhauer1" You’re regurgitating what you heard from modern writers. The Gospels were “finished” after some of Paul’s letters, for it took the Go...

@"Fooloso4" I wasn’t giving you my opinion or making assumptions. Read further on in the “texts” and you will see Jesus talking about not even looking...

@"emancipate" I wasn’t saying that God can’t be known from reason, but to ask someone to provide some sentences to show God is lazy and not how God is...

@"EugeneW" You make a lot of declarations about God when you admit that you don’t know anything about him and are confused. The face you see in the mi...

@"Monitor" Your judgment of Clowns being powerful and meaningful is funny too. Since I’m such a failure, why don’t you go start a successful thread so...

@"emancipate" Go find out. His existence is not a sentence that you can read, but an adventure that you go on. The dry and rattling thoughts in your h...

@"EugeneW" I’ve written that it is God’s omnipotent power a dozen times, not his electricity. You’re not really reading and pondering, just getting to...

@"Fooloso4" Jesus was telling the people before him that the Old Testament laws governing their behavior were not only still valid, but he was making ...

I guess the Clowns in the Clown Car on this forum drove to my neighborhood and got out. They threw a lot of pies at me but only hit themselves in the ...

“…no matter how much the thoughts off the top of our heads won’t shut up.”

@"javi2541997" I do have a Graduate degree in English and taught high school, but you should have written: “How can I find ?

@"Monitor" Gee, it’s like an omnipotent spiritual power, a Dark Energy, is behind my posts pushing them outward with ever-increasing speed. I spent a ...

@"javi2541997" No, your second sentence is wrong. And knowledge of the truth leads us to love of the truth and becoming fully alive. Truth and love sh...

@"Metaphysician Undercover" It’s not part of your experience that your dog is greater than your kitchen counter? Go away now and be a thinker only you...

@"universeness" When I was 24, I was a painter with a high paying job, 5 girlfriends, a sports car, and a bodybuilder running 10 miles 3 times a week....

@"emancipate" You’re on a philosophy forum and don’t know that all metaphysical discussions are in the realm of our imaginations? Stupid people don’t ...

@"L'éléphant" So, you’re confused because I have written words you do not understand, and not because you do not understand the words I have written? ...

@"theRiddler" Yes, says me. Maybe you should be talking about television shows.

@"theRiddler" God is not everything because God’s omnipotent power does not engulf the uniqueness in every created thing. What is the greatest thing i...

@"EugeneW" God is the greatest being we can imagine. When you pluralize “God” you violate everything from his definition to the human history you have...

@"Metaphysician Undercover" No, it’s not me you don’t understand. It’s common sense and your own experiences. You have screwed your mind up royally so...

@"Paine" Okay

@"Metaphysician Undercover" You can’t possibly be willing to understand the principle. I’ve told you plenty about what is and isn’t a qualitatively gr...

@"Paine" Yeah, he’s your “friend”. Paul was a Pharisee, a learned Jew who was a Roman citizen, not a “cop”. Paul is literally called the Hellenistic/J...

@"Paine" Are you going to tell me that you were wrong about Paul not being an academic and about me needing to read the texts more closely, or just ke...

It’s a greater “element”. God is defined as the greatest being we can imagine. So of course “something greater than the greater thing” is God’s omnipo...

@"Real Gone Cat" Well, I could certainly come up with a better name than you did. And I love cats. But if it’s from the hippie days I enjoyed, that’s ...

@"Metaphysician Undercover" I’m only taking about one principle, and you keep talking about your definition of what is “greater”, and I am correcting ...

@"Metaphysician Undercover" I already posted that a greater thing has an extra element, a qualitatively extra element. You posted an example of more o...

@"Manuel" You don’t have to read back too far to get answers to most of your questions.

@"Janus" You’re trolling me. The relationship between Metaphysics and Epistemology is a fine distinction. Equating Metaphysics with Revelation is idio...

@"Garrett Travers" I honestly didn’t think I could enjoy anything you wrote, but I actually enjoyed the whole thing. If you ever want to hear about wh...

@"Philosophim" You're doing that Internet trolling thing. Seeking to get praise by faceless people on the Internet would be pathological and stupid. F...

@"Garrett Travers" All your answers are dependent upon measurements and physical phenomenon. You can't measure that two contradictory statements in th...

@"Philosophim" Debates are okay. You know what I like better? Running into an amazing person who has spent a lifetime becoming skilled in something. A...

@"Metaphysician Undercover" You have held up quantitative as equal to or better than qualitative. I don't think it can be. We have different notions o...

@"Garrett Travers" So "Human Consciousness" is equal to the physical brain that dies at our death? A thought is simply a chemical reaction? The love w...

@"Philosophim" Thanks for the welcome. The answers to your questions are right on this last page. And atoms and molecules are made of the same stuff. ...

@"Srap Tasmaner" Your post demands a lot of thought. See if some of my recent answers answered some of your questions. I’ll get back to you when I can...

@"emancipate" For only me? Who is the spokesperson for reality? My dog Luna?

T Clark, a photon "particle" has no mass.

@"emancipate" Light has zero mass. Matter has mass. How much mass matter has doesn't matter when judging it to be greater than light. That matter has ...

Okay, let me clarify what makes a thing "greater" than another thing. And this clarification is not my clarification, but something known for centurie...
