Shouldn't Jesus and the Holy Spirit have different definitions?
July 19, 2025 at 15:35
The painting is an artwork; therefore, it requires media, including canvas and the color materials used in the painting. There is also an idea present...

Have you read my exchange with @"frank"?

Correct. People think what they say is true even when the assertion is false. They are just not aware of it.

Strange. Google defines assertion as: An assertion is a speech act where a speaker claims or declares a proposition to be true.

Yes, I know! :wink:

Perhaps people read this exchange and change their minds!
July 18, 2025 at 20:35
I asked for a reason why such a thing is right from God. John 3:16 states what I asked: Whether Jesus' Sacrifice was necessary. I also asked what the ...

I see the cat on the mat!

Is there a reason mentioned in the scripture for this torture? That is the God of the very old Testament, Human sacrifice to perhaps please God to do ...
July 18, 2025 at 18:42
If God is holy, He could simply forgive our sins instead of this loophole, a part of it dying on the cross, causing torture on Himself, Jesus! That do...

How can ignorance be bliss?
July 18, 2025 at 18:16
I have no training in art. I think there are three key elements when it comes to artwork, namely, idea, form, and media. The idea is the mental focus ...

Thanks for the link!
July 17, 2025 at 16:26
Yes, pain is not wrong/bad per se. That is discussed in the OP. And I am not conflating suffering with pain. Suffering and pain, however, are related;...
July 17, 2025 at 13:50
I agree too. Correct, given your last point. How about not spending money on the military, saving money for the right education, and creating new job ...
July 16, 2025 at 21:10
You respond to my OP by saying about your pain. It seems that you can handle it, which sounds right to me. I still don't know whether you agree with m...
July 16, 2025 at 20:11
Ok, so you are having a sort of pain, muscle pain, for example. Muscle pain is my case. I think we are simple people dealing with suffering and are no...
July 16, 2025 at 19:53
I also respond to @"180 Proof" as well in this thread. He refused to answer my question, which was key to the discussion, calling it a non-sequitur!
July 16, 2025 at 18:57
I already discussed what I mean by equality through my conversation by @"javi2541997". The thread is short so you can spot those posts quickly. If you...

Life is a great teacher! Your knowledge is developed through your interaction with mental events. Uncertainty in life allows us to learn from our mist...
July 16, 2025 at 16:38
Consciousness, to me, is a mental event. Mental events cannot be coherent on their own unless you can explain how a mental event at one point in time ...
July 16, 2025 at 15:52
Ok, so could you give an example of when you like suffering?
July 16, 2025 at 15:40
Do you like or dislike suffering?
July 15, 2025 at 20:26
If matter is fundamental and moves according to the laws of nature, and consciousness is an emergent property from matter. Consciousness, therefore, c...
July 15, 2025 at 17:47
I have a thread on "Physical cannot be the cause of its own change" here. So, the mind is fundamental; the mind is a substance with the ability to exp...
July 15, 2025 at 16:16
I think other creatures, like animals, also suffer. By physical suffering, I mean a kind of suffering whose cause is physical, like when you cut your ...
July 15, 2025 at 16:03
Suffering could be psychological or physical, so-called pain in the second case. It seems to me that you don't like suffering, pain, for example. That...
July 14, 2025 at 20:21
I don't think so. The main reasons we make mistakes are a lack of education, genetics, and uncertainty about the future. We can only fix the education...
July 14, 2025 at 18:20
The roots of mistakes are the lack of education, genes, and uncertainty about what the very far future brings. We can only fix education.
July 14, 2025 at 17:13
I think I should have used the word "like" instead of "enjoy" to avoid confusion: There are plenty of people who like evil, such as masochists. If by ...
July 13, 2025 at 20:52
Indeed, it is interesting to study each individual case!
July 13, 2025 at 19:06
You do when you relate evil as privation of good. Good and evil are fundamental features of our experiences. We humans mostly prefer good over evil be...
July 13, 2025 at 15:22
Correct, it is hard! However, some people on the street might wish for a different life, might deserve a different life. Is there any social system to...
July 13, 2025 at 14:54
I did. Please reread my post here.
July 12, 2025 at 18:27
A simple question cannot be a non-sequitur! The answer to that question is the key to understanding why equality is the goal. We have a dichotomy of j...

The duty of philosophers is to formulate ideas, with the aim of finding absolute knowledge, and write them in a concise form. To do this, a basic trai...

Don't you feel pain sometimes? We have two alignments namely, good and evil. Good and evil are also features of our experiences. How could you deny th...
July 12, 2025 at 14:43
Mind experiences. Good and evil are features of experiences. I would be happy to know if I am wrong somewhere. Killing a human in most cases is wrong,...
July 12, 2025 at 14:37
Why don't you answer my question?
July 12, 2025 at 14:29
We feel evil, it hurts us to the bone sometimes! Where does the evil come from if it is not a part of creation? Evil creatures like evil! So, the God ...
July 11, 2025 at 19:23
I already asked you a question that you didn't answer. That is the key to the discussion. So, I repeat the question: Do you like to live on the street...
July 11, 2025 at 18:32
I am wondering why you like @"180 Proof" post. Do you like to live on the street?
July 11, 2025 at 17:32
I invite you to reread and rethink my last post. Think of a situation in which you are living on the street.
July 11, 2025 at 16:17
So you think that inequality in humanity is right? Someone starves to death while others enjoy the wealth! Each person is unique and has the potential...
