It is a paradox and riddle that can be somewhat known, but not completely known.

I go back and forth between materialism and idealism too. Combining them can work sometimes, but sometimes I cannot seem to get the two to go together.

Life is really about moderation because there is some truth in all viewpoints. Everyone has a point of view that the other person doesn't have. I find there is usually truth in both opposing views, and that people fail to see the truth in the other person's point of view. One group will miss one...

This point is a paradox. I am free to do whatever it is I want like go get a job, go eat something, etc, etc.... But if I wanted to live forever, and never die I couldn't control that by free will since every living creature dies. Also there are times that I could exercise my free will, but...

People wrote the Bible, and not God. The question would be whether or not God revealed to the people something inside their thoughts invisibly to write the Bible, and if he did did they understand him correctly. And another question is how people can tell their own thoughts from God's thoughts.

Your intuition might be right then again it might not be right. You never know, but that is all you can go on. The challenge of combining reason and sense experience with that makes the issue rather confusing many times trying to mix the two or decide between the two.

Be your own authority! :)

I have faith in God. I am not sure if God is real or not since if God was real he is not concrete enough for me. Science can never or will never answer this. Life is a paradox, so it is impossible to know what the real truth is. For me my believe in God is wishful thinking because I don't want...

Yes and no. On one hand it is correct, but you cannot prove an abstract idea 100 percent for sure, so there is always the idea you could be wrong because the connection is not as concrete, like your tv set in front of you which you can prove is there 100 percent. So a person can believe, and go...

I am not exactly sure what Holy Spirit means. How would I know if God was giving me thoughts or if my thoughts were my own? If God gives me thoughts than my thoughts are not my own, so this idea doesn't make any sense to me. :confused:

I have not had any visions, dreams, or any direct contact with God, so I have not been given any revelation as to how to solve the paradoxes of life. I don't believe in God giving you any visions, dreams, or any direct contact. I have prayed about getting jobs a few times, and some of those...

I am wondering about if there is a parallel too, and how exactly this parallel works.

I have not noticed any connection between praying about something and being able to understand it better. Life is a paradox, and praying about it has not given me any answers as to what to do about the paradox. How can you tell the difference between our own thoughts and Satan giving you...

In the Christian camp there seems to be two sets of philosophers. There are the philosophers who believe that you cannot be good on your own or know anything on your own, and you need help from God to be good or get a revelation. Then there are the philosophers who are more rational and believe...

People believe in God if they want to or not, so if you want to believe there is hope after you die then believe in God if it helps you feel better at times life is unfair. There is no proof one way or another for God. So regardless since no one can no whether God exists one way or another, and...

It is for you to decide. Government should stay out of this issue, and deal with finances and budget, and not morals. Morals are for people to decide not government.

I am Pro-Life, but I am aware that other people have a different opinion on this issue, so I don't want the government making one decision for everyone, and enforcing everyone to be Pro-Life. These decisions are not for the government to decide. It is for the individual to decide if abortion is...

It seems like supernatural philosophy conflicts with natural philosophy. I cannot seem to make the two go together, or maybe the two don't go together. Any suggestions on this.

I am Pro-Life and don't believe in killing a baby unless it is threating your life, but that is my values and decision. As for other people I let them decide that issue for themselves, and I don't believe the government should make that decision for people. Everyone should make that decision...

It doesn't make any sense to me to say it is always a sin to lie. Sometimes it is better to lie than tell the truth especially if you are in a dangerous situation or it would hurt the person to tell them the truth. If you were to lie all the time that would be a sin if you do it for the wrong...
