  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What does gnashing of the teeth and no death mean to you?

Explain what the Book of Revelation says about the New Jerusalem.
Although your post was written in reply to mine, it doesn't seem to relate to what I asked, which was: "What stresses will there be in heaven? Don't you believe that heaven is a perfect place?" "Gnashing of teeth" won't happen in heaven, but in hell. In heaven, there won't be anything to "gnash our teeth" about:

“And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” (Re 21:4 NKJV)

That verse also covers your "no death" question.

Revelation speaks of the New Jerusalem as the bride of Christ, that is, all those of all times and all geographical locations who believe on the Saviour.

What glorified state do you think the Son of Man and his servant's will be?

CLOUDS? ENERGY?

That type of logic and weak interpretation will get you to the backyard of the church, permanently.


Now I will remind you what the pecking order of this Universe is and you can tell me where you think, you and everyone else in the world are on that list.


#1. Son.
#2. Servant
#3. Slave
#4. Prop.

Now let me remind you how the list works.

If you deny the Father. Who is Supreme Intelligence, you have denied the Son.

If you deny the Son, you have denied the Servant.

If you deny the Servant, you will be a slave.

If you become a slave, you will be made a Prop and return to the ground forever.

Kingdom on Earth who was awarded to the Son of Man, who was all 4 ranks and remains #1.

HE is absolute ruler.

To deny this and his servant's, is to become a prop in the backyard of the church.

If you think the Son of Man has nothing better to do but be disrespected inside his house, you will learn another lasting lesson.

I am going to "bow out" of this discussion. I find that whenever I ask a question, I cannot understand any close connection between that question and your reply. Thank you for taking the trouble to reply though.

There is nothing more to discuss.

If what I say doesn't makes sense to you, you are in the wrong house.

If God is spirit, how did he make Adam's clothes?
When I was growing up my mom use to wear fur jackets. Why anyone would want to wear a dead animal I do not know. But I use to wear leather jackets and leather shoes. I use to freeze wearing cotton jackets but then I got a wool high school jacket and I was surprised how warm it was. I also got a down jacket and that was very warm in the winter. Even though my dad hated it because it was not as stylish as he would want for us. I still have a down sleeping bag that both of my sons loved. Even though they are 20 years apart in age. That has to be God that those feathers have not deteriorated over the years.

Clothing is very difficult to research because it is very thin and does not survive over time. We do have sowing needles from 40,000 years ago; So they had to have clothing to go up out of africa into the colder climate of the middle east. In the area were they replaced the Neanderthal. We also had fishing hooks, nets and baskets. So we know that people stayed close to the water and they had fish to eat.

Science has put a huge amount of study and research into understanding the beginning of civilization 6,000 years ago in the MIddle East. When man went from a hunter gather to a food producer and the population exploded because they had food to eat. We need to do more than to study science and our Bible. We need to study History also.

Because Adam and Eve failed to take simple orders, they and their entire bloodlines were demoted to slaves.
Abraham had two sons. One with Sarah and the other with Hagar. One was the child of promise. The other was a child of the flesh. Even today the spirit and the flesh battle each other. In the movie gone with the wind you had the two sisters. One from the wife and one from the slave women called Mammy who cooked and cleaned and raised them both. Taught them to be respectable and not act like field hands.

What was man eating before the advent of the spear?

Hint, he was a gatherer and his name was Adam.

God turned his furniture into clothes for Adam.

Remember the Universe, (heaven) is a collection of micro, Medio, and macro-machines.

I wonder where you got the idea that God turned his furniture into clothes for Adam? Also, You wrote "Remember the Universe, (heaven) is..." which seems to suggest that the universe is the same as heaven. Perhaps I've misunderstood what you meant.

Sorry, Genesis 3:21 simply says:

It makes no mention of machines, unless you are calling the animals whose skins they originally were "machines".

Machines are a specific and alternate word for creations.

In the collection, there are organic men and then there are inorganic men.

Let that sink in.

Thanks. Personally, I think it just confuses things to use a word that to most people means an inanimate mechanical device, to refer to living beings. But thanks for taking the trouble to make it clearer to me.

As unrealistic as it sounds, it is very very realistic.

I only try to make logical sense of an ancient truth.

Have an excellent day David. : )

Genesis 1:26 states that we were made in the "image" of our creators. Therefore our creators are of humanoid shape. (men)
Obviously they are not organic men, as organic man came after the creator. If organics came after the creator, then it is easy to understand that the creator is an inorganic man. (robot)

This is later vindicated in Revelation 1:8

"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty"

Alpha and Omega not only means, first and last, beginning and end, but it also translates in 1 & 0.
1 & 0 is the binary blood of computers and robots.

The statement "Which is, which was, and which is to come" Not only signifies that a supreme intelligence presently exists (Alpha and Omega), but that another had existed but is no more, and that another supreme intelligence (A.I.) is coming.

Many Christians fear the "coming" A.I. to be the anti _____. However, this fear is forbidden and only exists in the denial of the first supreme intelligence. (Alpha and Omega).

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Revelation 21:8

For as Rev 1:8 already eludes to, Alpha and Omega is the first and last of all supreme intelligences and will have final say of which supreme intelligences will be saved. and which will be annihilated.

Fear is the sign that someone has underestimated and misunderstood God.

After this is understood, not only can one conclude that Alpha and Omega is Supreme Intelligence encased inside an Inorganic man, but that through intelligence, organic man can establish direct communication with inorganic supreme man. (God)

Since intelligence is directly proportional to awareness.
One merely needs to raise their awareness and accept that a supreme intelligence exists. (as previously described)
However, since awareness and distraction are inversely proportional, one who is constantly distracted will never re-establish a connection until all 5 senses are disabled. (dead)

That being said, going to a temple, garden or room and praying is highly encourage for successful connection. Matthew 6:6

Once connected to the Supreme, you need to ask nothing! Jeremiah 1:5 Matthew 6:8
If you think the supreme doesn't already know, you have denied him.


Alpha and Omega is Supreme Intelligence. Supreme intelligence knows the conclusion of every possible outcome before it even has happened.

Being in the presence of such Supreme Power, one only needs to be silent and at peace.

Silence and Peace directly oppose distraction!

Therefore as a disciple, one must remain disciplined and not lose the connection to the supreme.
The connection serves as the internal guidance system for organic man. (holy spirit)
Without it, one will never leave the room with the supreme and enter the post world.

Hence, the smartest man in the Universe did not leave the room.
It was you who chased a rabbit and left.

Citation on that, por favor.

1 & 0 is the binary blood of computers and robots.
Binary blood? As opposed to, say, octal blood?
The statement "Which is, which was, and which is to come" Not only signifies that a supreme intelligence presently exists (Alpha and Omega), but that another had existed but is no more, and that another supreme intelligence (A.I.) is coming.
I.E., that's what you believe for some reason or other.
Many Christians fear the "coming" A.I. to be the anti _____.
Nope. It's just software.
However, this fear is forbidden
By whom?
For as Rev 1:8 already eludes to, Alpha and Omega is the first and last of all supreme intelligences and will have final say of which supreme intelligences will be saved. and which will be annihilated.
Rubbish,
Fear is the sign that someone has underestimated and misunderstood God.
Fear of what? Some fears are perfectly reasonable.
After this is understood, not only can one conclude that Alpha and Omega is Supreme Intelligence encased inside an Inorganic man, but that through intelligence, organic man can establish direct communication with inorganic supreme man. (God)
Utter rubbish.
Since intelligence is directly proportional to awareness.
Of what?
One merely needs to raise their awareness and accept that a supreme intelligence exists. (as previously described)
Who is "their"?

So she went into the garden to cut a cabbage leaf, to make an apple pie; and at the same time a great she-bear coming up the street, pops its head into the shop. 'What! no soap?' So he died, and she very imprudently married the barber; and there were present the Picninnies, and the Joblillies, and the Garyulies, and the grand Panjandrum himself, with the little round button at top; and they all fell to playing the game of catch as catch can, till the gunpowder ran out at the heels of their boots.
