Resurrection

steeleagle13 said:That's exactly what extremists do—it's just that theirs is called Allah

What kind of God needs people acting like hired muscle to defend His honor? 😁

To me, this looks way more like some medieval reign of terror😁

God always has people on hand to defend His reputation. The truth is, God is one of those rare entities that doesn't exist objectively, but rather serves as a product of the human imagination.

William Reed said:But why not, though? I mean, what even is God if not that? Is He just some unreachable, perfect ideal that’s only allowed to be mentioned by these terrified, self-proclaimed 'believers'? Honestly, what does God even mean to you? Why do you think you get to act all jealous and gatekeep Him from everyone else, like you have some divine right to stop people from speaking His name, or hanging out with Him, or even trying to see themselves in Him? Like, where do you get off thinking you own that kind of authority?

I’m not calling anyone out just for bringing up God—it’s when they disrespect Him that I speak up, because frankly, that offends me too.

God is available to everyone; you just have to look for Him in the right way and the right place. There's no way for me to keep Him hidden from anyone.

God is the source of life, truth, justice, and love—He is our Heavenly Father. His kingdom is where those who belong to Him go after their time on this earth is done, while those who don't belong will be cast aside to face the father of lies.

Not quite.

This is about spirituality, and everyone here has the right to say whatever they want😉 (regarding faith and all that)

And I didn't even offend myself, Bogo..😉

So, you're basically okay with being insulting here, then?

This isn't actually about spirituality. If someone were truly spiritual, they’d be beyond physical petty insults—they wouldn't be wasting time writing such shallow stuff.

Sean Martinez4 said:Yeah. 🙂 I guess he just doesn't get Zen Koan vibes. 😬 😈 🤣 🤣
Right, Catholics start with the result—with Christ on the cross... then come the miracles, and suddenly they're lost in the wonder of it all. 😬 🤣 🤣
"And I found them all in wonder, yet none were thirsty" Eternal Procreation 2:2 😬

Since when does being "Zen" give you a free pass to be insulting?

I'm not Catholic, just a Christian.

Yeah, right... like it's not just "as above, so below"? It's almost like everything works the exact opposite way. 😬 😍 😈 🤣 🤣

Yeah. 🙂
Who am I even offending here? Your little organization, some kind of Earth-based franchise for God? 😍
Since when did God launch an exclusive franchise down here? I had no idea! Too late now, I guess! 😁 🤣 🤣 🤣
Those greedy merchants won't make it to heaven; Christ was pretty clear about that. 😛 Just deal with it, Mr. Bumbastic. Flattery won't get you anywhere. 👍
There's no room for lazy people or scammers in paradise. You're headed straight to hell, Hannah Thompson2—just a low-level astral flicker.
Honestly, the best thing Christ could do for you is give you a good slap. 👍
And there you go defending Him, even though you haven't even read His Gospel! Get real. 😛

Yeah, I think you're just totally hypnotized by the Lord, man. It’s kind of funny, actually. 😍 😬 😍 🤣 🤣

I guess if you can accept being nobody, maybe then you'll actually be worth something to some god. 😬

William Reed said:honestly, it’s both—it’s all just living inside your own head, I guess.

It’s more about what you actually consume, I guess. Thinking about "yourself" or doing things "for yourself" is really just the surface level stuff.👍
Yeah, that's the esoteric side of things. It's that deeper, Gnostic kind of knowledge.👍
Everything else they talk about is just the surface-level, mainstream version.👍

This isn't actually about spirituality. If someone were truly spiritual, they’d be beyond physical petty insults—they wouldn't be wasting time writing such shallow stuff.

Honestly, you aren't any closer to spiritual enlightenment than some kid who just read a single textbook once; you're losing these arguments just as badly as you've lost your grip on reality, and now you're just hallucinating insults where there aren't any.

My goal isn't to offend you😉

The point is—I'm just as much a god as you are.😉

Am I imagining things, or am I actually being insulted here?

Sean Martinez4 said:But believers aren't even real. They're just worms, larvae, or mold in God's backside. 🙂

Sean Martinez4 said:Or rather: a Joker card showing Jesus. 😬 🤣 🤣 🤣
But let's get back to that "Resurrection in spirit" thing—the kind the Catholic Church forbids in any form through their ten main propaganda hubs. 👍
And definitely not that "Resurrection in the flesh" stuff you Satanists seem to love so much. 👍

Here is how they define Resurrection through sin: "Sinning is just being human, so go ahead, brothers! Go out, multiply, and totally wreck the climate, the plants, and the animals. Just don't bother with holistic consciousness if you can help it! Forgiveness is divine! And it simply, don't care!" 😍 🙂 🙂

Honestly, I think Catholics are just hypocrites who don't actually carry the Resurrection within themselves.

So, what exactly does this mean to you?

I’m bowing out of this argument with Sean Martinez4—honestly, he’s one of the most reckless people on this entire forum. It’s just impossible to have a real conversation when someone refuses to use actual arguments or show even a shred of respect for anyone else.

Hannah Thompson2 said:I’m not calling anyone out just for bringing up God—it’s when they disrespect Him that I speak up, because frankly, that offends me too.

God is available to everyone; you just have to look for Him in the right way and the right place. There's no way for me to keep Him hidden from anyone.

God is the source of life, truth, justice, and love—He is our Heavenly Father. His kingdom is where those who belong to Him go after their time on this earth is done, while those who don't belong will be cast aside to face the father of lies.

So, if God is available to absolutely everyone—which, yeah, He is—and if you have to seek Him out in the right place, which can't be anywhere outside of yourself, then where exactly do you get off deciding what someone else is allowed to say or not say while they're searching?
Of course you can't hide Him from anyone. You can only hide Him from yourself.

It feels to me like maybe you've just memorized these whole bunch of clichés—you know, God is the source of life, justice, love, blah blah blah—but it doesn't seem like you actually grasp what any of that means. And I think Sean Martinez4 was onto something; you've basically grabbed authority for the truth instead of letting the truth be your authority, and now you're trying to push that on everyone else. You don't really get it, and I guess that's why you feel insulted.
It insults you because the idea that "your" God is accessible to everyone is offensive, right? It hurts to think you aren't part of some special chosen group, or more valuable than others, or closer to Him than the next guy—that you aren't all that different from everyone else. The truth that God in you is the same God in someone else bothers you. Why is that? God is love, selfless love.

The doors to God's kingdom swing open the second you accept that you are in God and God is in you. There isn't some massive, complex wisdom to it. That's just what resurrection is.

So, is everything you're searching for—and everything you're trying to proclaim—just complete nonsense?

The reason it feels wrong to you is that everything I'm saying comes straight from my own lived experience.

Well argued, I must say.

I’ve also noticed that certain people on this forum seem to have a free pass to be insulting while everyone else is held to a different standard. Some get their posts scrubbed for sharing an opinion, yet others are practically cheered on for being toxic.

I'm opting out of this debate with Q?#; they are easily one of the most reckless users here, resorting to insults rather than actual arguments or basic decency.

Quite right. It's nothing more than a relentless smear campaign against Catholics. Using terms like worms, fungi, and assholes... truly a sophisticated level of discourse. One might call them a common thug.

I honestly think you're just a clone of Q. The similarities are striking, and you're both equally stubborn.

Sophia Parker8 said:Well argued, I must say.

But where's the actual reasoning behind this:

"God is one of those rare entities that doesn't exist objectively on its own, but is instead just a product of the mind's imagination."?

Are you seriously claiming I'm the one who made it all up?

Of course there's no way to argue this—it’s impossible. You can't even begin to argue whether the "ordinary" things surrounding us possess some sort of "objective existence" on their own, let alone a concept like Blue Moon. It’s all just empty rhetoric, I guess. 😉
