*Philosophical Question*

[ShatterSphere]

My word and world holds ground and is real
Your word is like floods of poisoned water
A language spoken with spit from different tongues​

First off I know that men are limited to their perceptions; and in it, within words, men only see them selves in reflection. Words have absolutely no meaning, but only what we see in ourselves. An intoxicating joy!

I have read all of the new testament and I see no reason to accept Jesus Christ. As a Christian, why should I accept Jesus as God?

​

I protect every man guilty of sin
The ultimate sin being me
The vapor from the plague
That infested my mind, body and soul
Obscured my view from wisdom
The mist that had me wonder in resentment cleared
And troubles me no more

If words have no meaning, why are you bothering us with yours?

 

[billwald]

By definition? Because the Holy Spirit testifies to your spirit: it has nothing to do with reading a book.

Thankfully, we are not limited to our perceptions. That's where words come in handy. If someone else has seen something, they can tell us about it. We get value out of words when (1) the words are true, and (2) we believe the true words. For example, a woman named Rachel said she loved me. I believed her, so I married her, and our marriage has been a blessing.

Now, in the New Testament, God says that He loves us, and he says that we can "marry" him if we admit we're sinners, believe Christ died for our sins, and commit our lives to God. As with all other words, you will benefit from these words if you believe they are true. I hope you do!

Unless they're false, then you're just a sucker. Also, Rachel married you for your money.

As Dark Helmet said in Spaceballs, "Princesses are often attracted to money, and power, and I have both, and you know it!"

 

[The Nihilist]

Spaceballs is not as funny as a lot of people think it is

Spaceballs is not as funny as a lot of people think it is

That's what people say who don't get the movie.

 

[The Nihilist]

Oh, you're completely right. A bunch of Star Wars jokes went right over my head. Blazing Saddles is so much better.

Words have meaning but only what we give to them. Or rather what has been assigned to us through education. One man's interpretation is never the same as anothers, unless you have swallowed the indoctrination. Perhaps, in all possibility, when we strip the layers of reality from the idea or concept we begin to see a picture of clarity. Words "stretched" out on a blank canvas. In philosophy, in a possible world, what is the interpretation? Can Satan be God and God be Satan? Perception of men is sooooo lacking. Taste my inverted reality.

If I give a measure that is different from that which is socially acceptable then I am always wrong.

For instance, I need no man to carry the burden of my own mistakes. I have the ability to control my own perceptions. Besides, if sin exists within us then what is its purpose. To the average Christian no purpose but the devil's work. But what's a little fire for the soul?

I was born into this world empty and through education, as a measuring stick and experience, as what it is--I cannot be held to any mistake if the knowledge of the mistake has not been experienced yet. Men only get a notion for moral fitness through education.

I don't care if Jesus died on the cross for sin. If that is your measurement then that is your perception; but since mine does not measure to yours then I am always wrong. Jesus did not die for my sins, I carry the burden of my own mistakes.

Jesus says I am the truth. But in the spirit of truth how does he affect all things? --is my next question. Are there not other truths that a wiseman seeks? Trust me. A morcel of bread and a spat of wine are not the pillar of my salvation. I am not fooled by such intoxication. God must really think I am an idiot.

Tell me. What existed first? The man or the temple?

If the temple then that explains man's blindness and stupidity--utterly his lack of perception for not knowing himself.

If the man came first then the world becomes philosophical; hence the order of religion; of which is a philosophical sect adapted to the weaknesses of man.

I protect every man guilty of sin
The ultimate sin being me
The vapor from the plague
That infested my mind, body and soul
Obscured my view from wisdom
The mist that had me wonder in resentment cleared
And troubles me no more
