But He hasn't seen fit to grant any to you or your little followers. You lot just have the gift of faith.

The world is teetering on the edge of nuclear war specifically because of how people misuse the knowledge they gain.

You’re still living in the Reagan era, my friend! Watch out, or the FBI might come knocking, and I'm pretty sure the CIA is breathing down your neck already.😂

Even if Bonnie & Clyde were putting on a concert in New York City...😁

It’s got nothing to do with God, Jesus being crucified, Allah, or any religious holy books out there.

The whole thing just boils down to how you define things:

Everything we understand today is simply because God made it possible!
He designed our brains and breathed life into them, igniting the very spirit that drives the human mind...
Yet, for our own protection, He placed limits on what we can grasp, knowing how easily knowledge can be twisted for evil. People get arrogant, taking all the credit for themselves instead of realizing everything is a gift from God! Honestly, the world is teetering on the edge of nuclear war right now specifically because humanity uses its intelligence for destruction rather than good.

It’s tragic, really. Most people will perish in their own pride, cursing the day they ever sought knowledge. Their obsession with "knowing" just led them toward ingratitude and an open rebellion against the Creator—falsely accusing Him of being stingy!
But He gave us everything! He gave us life and the capacity to think! He taught us to love, showing us that love is the only true thing worth knowing, for true wisdom is born from love alone... yet some people tried to hold God hostage just to gain power through knowledge!
What a tragedy, these walking dead souls... God, have mercy on them!😢🙂

Alright, if He isn't stingy with knowledge, why doesn't He tell His ambassador on Earth—the Pope—to finally release the Vatican archives to the public?

Knowledge is scattered in tiny fragments, much like how the entire universe is dispersed across countless infinitesimal particles..
It’s honestly quite unrealistic to expect anyone to be presented with a complete, seamless package of all information at once.

Sure, He gave us knowledge, but He didn't give us the wisdom to use it properly. Honestly, calling that "withholding" isn't just wrong, it's sarcastic. It’s like handing a grenade to a bunch of monkeys in the middle of the woods and then acting surprised when things blow up in their faces!😢😲🙂🙂😁

Unfortunately, most people are going to die wrapped up in their own pride, cursing the day they wanted to know everything. It’s that exact hunger for knowledge that leads them straight into ingratitude and an outright rebellion against the Creator—whom they falsely accuse of being stingy!
But He gave them everything! Life, the mind, all of it! He taught us to love, showing us that love is the only thing that truly matters, and that true understanding is born solely from that love... yet some people just wanted to hold God hostage to get enough knowledge to try and kill Him!
God help those walking corpses, may God have mercy on their souls!😢🙂

I think I'll go eat some wild mushrooms right now. Or maybe just hit myself over the head with a baseball bat until I lose my memory entirely. Then, finally, I might become a real man of God.

Fine, sure, it’s scattered—but why not start with something "small"? For instance, just reveal some artificial mechanism for defending against cancer cells.

Maybe he thinks we're just clueless—that he shouldn't let us in on the loop because he doesn't want to play around with "bombs." If he actually pulled back the curtain on something even more insane, it would be

I think most people crave the idea of God or some kind of afterlife, but honestly? I find that impossible to swallow. Take Tesla, for example. He once mentioned being deeply religious at his core—meaning he believed in a higher power or a divine force—but he wasn't tied to any organized religion or church dogma. He didn't subscribe to the standard "heaven and hell" narrative found in the Bible or similar texts. Instead, Tesla suggested that death might not be the final curtain call for the life we know. It’s actually the exact kind of thing modern scientists are digging into right now.

We believers have both knowledge and the gift of faith, whereas you non-believers just have Reddit where you can pretend to be smart. I emphasize—*pretend*.😂🤣 😁

@ Krena, he really just turned himself into a total clown.
Take a look at this: there’s a church on every street corner, you can grab a Bible anywhere, and they’re all available in plain American English... yet people would much rather act foolish and spend their time on yoga, meditation, or swallowing whatever nonsense some stoner from the Middle East tells them.
Is God to blame because he chose to make a fool of himself?
Of course not.☕

What do you mean he didn't? He gave him Jesus Christ as a guiding star and the sacraments of the Catholic Church to keep him strong. There is no greater power than Jesus Christ, and God provided Him through the bread and wine...
If someone chooses not to believe and instead goes hunting for some pseudo-intellectual nonsense in Eastern philosophies or Western alchemy, that’s on them. That is their own tragedy! God was incredibly generous—He even died for the biggest piece of trash in the universe known as mankind!
Well, buddy, go ahead and feast on all that "knowledge"... it'll be just the kind of kindling you'll need to stay warm in hell where you're headed! Safe travels! And don't forget to pack extra underwear!☕😈

Technically speaking, we’re basically cousins—so it’s no surprise we share so many similarities. There's only about a 2% genetic difference separating us, after all. Of course, that gap isn't always obvious in everyone, which might be why it seems a bit confusing at times.

It’s pure arrogance to claim you possess true knowledge. Honestly, nobody can truly "have" knowledge because it's just too vast for our tiny minds to grasp, isn't it? It stretches far beyond the limits of what we can process... it belongs solely to the one you call God.

So, really, you’re just lying to yourself and everyone else on this forum while you play missionary and pose as an intellectual despite being totally clueless.
The way you act only gives believers a bad name, making them look stuck in their own ego. Honestly, believers should probably just give you the cold shoulder entirely; you're doing more harm than good at this point.

Oh, absolutely! But some people just refuse to face the music. It’s a terrifying thought for them, isn't it? Their pride won't let them admit they're actually a little closer to primates than their ego would ever allow.

If I may offer one small, highly effective tip for boosting your immune system—it makes it nearly impossible to fall victim to a common cold, let alone the flu or those other seasonal ailments that seem to sweep through everyone—here it is:
Try taking alternating hot and cold showers every single day.

That’s how DJ says it. Lately, I’ve actually started respecting him more because he’s incredibly firm; he stands his ground regardless of how much people push back. He doesn't give a damn what anyone else thinks about his views:

"God created man, God is omnipotent, and God granted humanity knowledge and free will. Those who embrace the Bible and the wisdom found within its teachings—and actually live by that knowledge—will be rewarded with eternal life in paradise. The rest of us are headed for eternal hell."

Great. But if you ask me, then God isn't omnipotent, and frankly, He isn't God. If He designed me and everyone else like me, He didn't actually give us free will or the knowledge required to accept the version of God described in the Bible. It’s a logical loop: if this is true, then God isn't God.

He gave you free will, a brain, and a soul specifically so you could accept Him, yet you keep rejecting Him. Amen. There's no deep philosophy needed there! At the end of the day, the responsibility lies with you, and only God can judge the extent of that...🤷☕
