semicookie
August 8th, 2007 09:36 AM
james is one of our customers whos a christian. just now we had a dissucsion on is there GOD exist. i post it here with his permisssion .claim that i do not oppose anyone who has a religion. and its good to have one. I wish u could finish this whole thing lwith GREAT patience lol (black is james and blue is me) and sorry for my poor english.



Good morning


morning to u


l'd see that u had fun talking with my replacement lol


Yes she was very nice


I thought it was you for a short time


I think everyone there is so polite


hehe, thx but i dont think i have talked to ya. it was all her


oic


Well the weather here is lovely .. its sunny and its going to be warm


wonderful, its going to meet a drought here, worst in the century





That is not good


but it will rain again.


GOD allways makes it reain eventually


thx


but hes not here in china


GOD?


i dont mean anything rude, but in this case we tend to believe in ourselves


That is the great part.


if theres any promblem we solve the problem


I can do both


lol


Agreed.


I used to be that way


for many years


but then I came up with a question I coudl not answer


Where do I go when I die


rotting?


lol


If we just rot in the grave.. then why not rape, rob and steal your whole life.. taking advantage of everyone?


No GOD means no reward for being kind.. and no punishment for being bad


theres sociaty


society*


But who determines what is right and what is wrong


the ppl


So if we the people vote tommrow that you should be hung.. then that woudl be right?


ppl are not all blind


True.. but in America.


We had slavery for 300 years.


Everyone wanted it


and we all voted for it


but it was still wrong


People vote their desires


they dont often vote their convictions


theres no pure right or wrong, the justice works for humans


no human, no justice


the universe works well without life


This is true


One of our great documents says


sorry if this make u think i am an extremlist but err..


That all men are created equal.


OH no


you are very smart


I am impressed


I would never think badly of someone who has thought and determined a course of action for themselves


you are to be commended


I wish you were a christian


thx


but other than that you are very very smart and impressive


i dont think theres one whos name is GOD, but if all goodness and justice equals to GOD, then GOD is goodness and justice


just like 1+1=2


2=1+1 as well


Well GOD loves you


even if you dont know him


lol


and he is in China


One day he will give you the chance to meet himself


and then you will have a choice


when i die?


and thats up to you


No before then


when you die is too late


lol


anyway


Not to brow beat you


your friend did not know what IDK means


it mean i dont know


but idk what 'Not to brow beat you ' means lol


very good


Oh.. sorry


its an idiom


"I am not trying to force you to take my opinion over your own"


cool


thx


i thought about the life thing b4


I can tell


I know that without GOD,, I would be the most evil of men


lol


Its his goodness and promises that restrain me


personally


because if I am going to just die and lay in the grave.. I am going to get all I can while I am alive and enjoy it


you know?


u r religiosity


Religiosity


sorry.. no disrespect.


that is not a word


Please forgive me for pointing it out


I am religious


but I am not religious


np, i just looked it up in my dictionary


I love Jesus .. but I do not like church.. often they are as bad as anyone else


I have a personal relationship with Jesus


havent talked about this topic b4


He talks to me and I talk to him


tho i thought much about it


I see


I am his adopted son


and he is my adopted father


and I am not afraid of death


I know that as soon as I die.. I will be with my father


He promised that he prepared a place for me to come to.


so I live life with no fear of death


or for the future


he has taken care of it and planned it


I am free


Sorry to go on and on


We can change the subject


what if he doesnt do it? u gonna hate him? sry if i am seemed rude


why u wanna gain some thing from being good


all get repayed from being good after u r dead


or*


sry, it seems to be harsh


I believe people as a group are very selfish


sry, why * as a group?


Individual people are very kind


but as a group they tend to be very self interested


have you ever read about a fire at a movie theater or a bar


The people inside stomp on old people and children to escape


People are very kind and polite .. until they are under pressure and then you see their true self


when it comes down to it.. when things are bad.


people act selfish most of the time


why selfish? and why not?


Because without GOD we are no better than the animals that are on the planet


yes, goodness and justice are GOD. and we should have goodness and justice. i mean then we'd have GOD


yes but GOD is more than goodness and justice


he is all those things and he is incredible mercy


no matter what you have done he will forgive you and love you


but he has another side


and that is judgment


he must judge the wicked because he is just


think the planet without life. what did he do when theres no life?


He existed..


what justice was there when theres no life?


and goodness


and anything he stands for


sry i dint mean to shake down ur beliefe. but i have thought about it for long. and finally i got a guy whos willing to listen


oh no


I am not offended


I love talking to you about stuff


it makes your mind grow to listen to others opinions


and i'd been to the deadcorners and got lost like when u met with the death problem


I see


now when i asked why, i also ask why not


what if it was not like this?


very good


that is good logic


like what if ppl dont do good to each other?


what the world would be like


what if theres no moral things


true


even if the moral thing was not perfect


it work for men


the men who believe in it


an abey it


abay*?


agreed


so just like the slavery thing


yes


the moral standards worked for the white


so the white were good to each other


yes


but the moral thing did not include the black ppl


and the slavery worked well in the early days of human history


without anyone had any doubt about it


yes


it WAS right


and if the slaves once get freed or defeated the slave owners, they will do the same thing to them too


True


But see GOD says it was not right


GOD punished the after seanons for the ancestors fault, is it right?


is it right that GOD ruled us?


rule*


punish us like we are his slave?


It is complicated


He did under the old law.


If you are not a christian you are his enemy


but if you are a christian he treats you like his daughter


he may punish you to spare you from something worse


isnt he treat all human his son and daughter?


if you are not in his family .. you are in his wrath


so how about the justice of other religions


and goodness


sons and daughters


mothers love


brothers love


fathers love


kindness


is he threaten those who doesnt belive in him?


hes an impiror?


warlord?


do u think its justice if u destroy whos not agree with u?


No


That is the way it has been in the world in thepast


so he did bad things whos gonna punish him?


The problem is sin


Sin destroys life and ruins hope


GOD only destroys people who die in their sin


He does not kill people who disagree


with him


the sin is ppl didnt believe in him


No


In the begining we as humans were designed to be perfect


We did not grow old.. did not get sick and did not die


we had fellowship with GOD.. face to face..


He gave us a choice to stay that way or to make our own choices


we chose to make our own way


But because of that


we had the choice to sin.. which we did


so GOD who is perfect could no longer see us face to face


what is sin, why a sin


just because we left GOD?


so hes angry


that is part of it


No.. he is sad


he misses us


but there is a problem


GOD is perfect


hes everywhere, isnt he?

and everthying around him must be perfect


we are not any longer


why couldnt he meet us?


what is the standard to be PERFECT?


Because he is perfect and his perfection requires him to judge right and wrong


His


without any bad or fault


every


for all time


bad to whom?


perfect


GOD


fault to whom?


whose fault?


The only person able to judge completely is one who has no fault


why fault?


why is one thing a fault?


Because there is a right and wrong


for whom?


Because it causes pain and suffering


right for whom?


wrong for whom?


Sin causes death and suffering


that is why its wrong


its not that he want to keep us from doing fun things


its that he wants to keep us from hurting ourselves or others


theres no human, theres no right or wrong


just because of a little pain?


no there was right and wrong before we got here


Every death, , every rape,,, every starving child.. every mother who lost a son in war.. every single hurt feeling.. injustice .. was caused by sin


did he created the white or did he created the human?


there should be one answer, right?


only one choice


He created all men and women


to be equals.. .


all loved equally by GOD


allthough chinese women are the most lovely


thx


lol


but why didnt he mentioned anything about us in his bible?


he did


you are mentioned in the book of revelation


nor we had nothing heard about him


America is not mentioned either


i mean in the history


instead we had Buddha


dont know


I dont like him


He was scarey to me when I was a child


I love dragons though


lol


so when u meet this deadcorner, what s ur solution


there must be an answer


I trust GOD


tho i got one


u have a dragon?


an answer lol


oic


to make it all reasonable


wanna listen?


but its hard to accept this, i'd spent long time to do it


theres GOD, but hes not a man


and he has no form


he exist in our mind


sometimes hes name is buddha


sometimes hes name is GOD


sometimes hes name is justice


sometimes his name is goodness


and the truth is like i said before, all goodness and justice and things like that is GOD, so GOD is all thosethings


it is cheap to believe someone would come to save me when we meet problems


sry for the comment


I see


No


I understand


your honest about your thoughts


thx


GOD does not ask you to be stupid or to not think


he appreciates honesty in your questions


lol


My country was established with GOD as the principle founder of its ideals


My country will fall soon


nah


and China will be the world leader


i dont think so


Its true


We have become morally bankrupts


the us is a great country


we will fall just like Rome and Greece


they fell from moral problems too


yes the US is a great counry


country


never has a country had so much power and did so little evil with that power


ppl in all over the world face the same problem


thats why we need moral


and punishment


so do you know any really hot 29 - 36 year old women in china? someone with a nice smile ? :P


and the evil deeds makes us to strict to our moral


That was my joke..


lol


True


its complecated


thats human


well I dont think Chinese women would want to come all the way to the US to live anyway


well. tons of them would


lol


they admire the life in the us


its nice here


and wanna quit their poor life


but love is most important


me too


I make very good money and I am not rich


whys that, spent too much on women? lol


yes


lol


The term we use for that is


Spent too much on wine and song


thats life


yes.


well I have enjoyed out talk


I have a 1 hour meeting


but I will be on messenger after that time


have a wonderful day


cool


u2


wb


brb


hey hey

No go right ahead


cool,i'd post it in filefront


thats fine with me


cool

Sure if you like


or debating with a christian?


well its not really a debate.. its more of a friendly discussion

As a note, on further posts you can save space and make it easier to read by using " quotation " marks or color coding like you've done here, just not double spaced. Should be a good read though, I appreciate the effort.

also we have religous thread which this could have been posted in, like Bad hairday said too long to read also using double space doesn't work it makes it longer and doesn't want to make people read the post..well to be honest it was quite boring... just to let you know as well Internet talk example Ur, lol and all that fun stuff, does not really want to make me read it make the conversation seem low-brow, also use spell check as well...

Just a note semicookie.

Buddha was not a god. http://<a href="http://en.wikipedia....ama_Buddha</a>.

Being chinese, you could have known that though.

No bad feelings

O…K… this was…mind numbing. Maybe I’ve been away too long – thought the theological posts were a lot more engaging. This one is like explaining reproduction using the “stork” theory.

Right Danger – Buddha was not a god. And maybe to spice up the conversation, the Devine recognizes the lesser “gods” but tells man not to worship them or follow the false gods – hence, You shall have no other gods before me.You shall not make for yourself a graven image,or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;you shall not bow down to them or serve them;for I the Lord your God am a jealous God,visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those
who love me and keep my commandments." (Exodus 20:3-6(RSV))
