Elementary. Yep that's exactly what it is. It isn't like we're talking about neuroscience here.

Of course you knew i was referring to mans limited knowledge and ability concerning that science. You look at an effect and call it a cause. Its such an elementary observation of the human brain, yet im supposed to be believe its actually brilliant insight.

His point is that any follower of any other religion, could say the exact same thing about you.

it's just claim upon claim upon claim.
It may all come as "claims" to many of you, which people of course have been known to do...but sharing is what people do when they come into something good [worth sharing]. Even the other pursuits share. The difference, is there is a ribbon of truth that runs through them [all] that says something of lasting value. If it's inner peace you want, hear them. If it is life after death, hear us. But then that brings you back to that ribbon of truth needed to decide who is full of it and who really has something. The biblical story is one confirmed a million times over. Believe it or not.

I've not seen it confirmed once.
Believe it or not.
Not.

From where do your get your insight that you are "not going to die", whatever that means?

Love. Its why i believe in God. There is no reason to deny it really. Its actually a good reason. IN life we search for happiness, we think money will make us happy. Truth is however, you can be rich and unhappy. Money doesn't guarantee happiness. Logically it would seem to bring happiness, but it doesn't. I find love to be very good. Its worth more than money because it is that feeling you are looking for in money. I know the lure of money, and of drugs, and Love is definitely what everyone is looking for. Gods love is a powerful, and its better than money itself. I have tasted it and it is proof enough for me. If Gods love was as abundant as money, i would be very rich. God is storing it in heaven. Its our heavenly reward, i believe. It is surely worth more than money.

The greatest of ironies exist among Atheists and scientists, who campaign for evolution, but cannot even conceive evolving themselves or ascending to anything higher than their best organic self.
Feel free to let us know the way once you've done that.

Were you alive before you were born?

Think of what it means to be born. I am amazed that we previously didn't exist, but then we were born into this mysterious experience known as existence. Its the most profound observation ever to be seen. Wouldn't you agree?

I dunno. What should one compare it to?

Stop there, and hold that thought. About *everything* you think you know.
Getting this imperfection in humanity out of the loop of knowledge acquisition is remarkably difficult.
If something is understood as divine revelation (and other things are not) then somewhere along the line a **human mind** has made that judgement call.

After you die (physically) what age do you get to be for eternity?
Yes, personality is from the eternal God, but consciousness has a beginning in time and not necessarily an ending unless we choose to end.
