How do I "stimulate", my Evolution? I can be stimulated to embrace the theory, but what next?

[Mr Laurier]

"There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness."

Thats nice. A whole generation? Which one?
You would think a whole generation of people who dont wash, would be obvious.
But alas, there seems no way to tell who this generation is.

 

[Mr Laurier]

A similar genetic profile, is its own kind of Evolution (selah)

An own kind of Evolution, is greater than Evolution ad hoc (selah).

Evolution ad hoc, never chosen over greater Evolution,, is the first to be weeded out (selah).

What is all this "selah" you keep spewing?

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

What is all this "selah" you keep spewing?

It could mean either lift up or exalt. It's unclear what selah means.

 

[FrumiousBandersnatch]

Is that code for YES or NO?

No, it isn't.

How very fitting!

Just FYI, Jesus said to do this:



You can see the parallel, right?

You should probably never use the term evolution ever again because you don't even know what the word means in a biological sense.
you still try to apply it to individuals.
It doesn't work in an individual, nobody thinks it's a thing that applies to individuals.
literally NOBODY who believes in evolution thinks it's like pokemon.

It's from Proverbs 30
and you're missing the point
the point is about people who think they're righteous in their own eyes and don't recognize their own sins.
Of course you believe that because you don't believe in God so you use YOUR moral standard rather than God's. People who do this will see nothing wrong with "white lies" or lustful thoughts or fantasies about some other man's wife, or hateful or even violent thoughts about another man, as long as they don't physically do them.
But to God... even the thoughts are sin.

So is it a sin to tell a white lie to avoid hurting someone's feelings and keep a relationship together? Is it a sin to lie to save a life?

Yes.
so as you can see.. it is humanly impossible to not sin perfectly
that's why you need a savior.

Are we going to talk about gottservant's (failed) understanding of evolution, or thoughtcrimes?

The gospel of Jesus Christ is always relevant.

Read the S.O.P. for this sub-forum. Jesus' opinion on sin is not relevant to this forum.

Hey if you can use it to proclaim there is no God and no judgement, then I can proclaim salvation and that there is judgement.

 

[Hans Blaster]

If you read it more carefully you would note the ending of that post. I don't believe in your god, therefore I don't believe that there is any reason to be concerned about "sin" against it. (I also don't fear it's judgement.)

Do you want to talk about the subject of this board or do you want to engage in pointless preaching. (You are not going to "convert" me, so don't waste you time.)

 

[FrumiousBandersnatch]

Yes.

OK. Well, to me, not being able to tell a harmless untruth to prevent a greater evil is itself immoral. Presumably, it's also a sin not to prevent the greater evil with a harmless untruth. Catch-22.

So if I needed a saviour, it would be to save me from the immorality of Christian dogma. Fortunately, I saw through it many years ago.

ah.
So its nonsense then.

Wow.
So this God guy is a bit unhinged.
...
The fact that you have no idea what I believe, is made obvious by your reply.
-My moral standard is that slavery is bad, and education is good.
-That love ought to be the goal of everybody.
-That harming others is to be avoided wherever possible, and when unavoidable... limited to the bare minimum harm necessary.
-That personal accountability is a better way to live. And that blaming your failings on a supernatural boogieman, is cowardice.
-That we should apply reason, not blind obedience to authority, when faced with things we dont understand.
-That we should try to help others.
And a few other points.
...
Your moral standard seems to be "obey the master".

 

[Mr Laurier]

The gospel of Jesus Christ is always relevant.

And yet never presented.
The 4 canonical gospels, are already well read by every atheist here.
Any of the dozens of suppressed gospels, are ignored and denied by the religious fundamentalists here.

Just FYI, Jesus said to do this:

Jesus Christ - Luke 13:8 said:
If you are not getting anything out of Evolution, don't do away with it: question your assumption, that things evolve and try to verify it, "the truth that starts to become evident, because of it"

You can see the parallel, right?

Do you really believe that an all powerful deity would judge a human on whether he/she affirms evolution or not?
That reminds me of the American Native American Indian trickster characters. My favorite is Kokopelli, trickster God and fertility deity.
