Its something like (this is off the top of my head so excuse me if im wrong) but around chpt 1 verse 24 . . . . . i think. 😛 now i know u prob couldnt be bothered to get out ur dusty old bible so i can quote it if u like, but BF will give me heaps of crap for that. *shrugs*

*digs up bible*

Err... there is no verse 24 in chapter 1 of Leviticus... 😕

EDIT: You meant the one in Romans... Sorry

i think when you die.....you die.

You don't "get answers" because your brain is shut off. Without your brain you cannot think, talk, hear, or taste ANYTHING. Your brain is what created God/Heaven/Hell....without your brain, such concepts do not exsist.

Unless of course you would like to try and make me believe that when you're dead....all of your memories, thoughts, dreams, and desires come up to heaven with you...where they stay up inside....what exactly?
Inside your 2nd brain? Inside your soul? In your ghostly body?

Without the 5 lbs of gray scrambeled eggs between our ears....there is nothing.

The brain does shut down in death....but do you think that the mind of the being also shuts down? I think the mind keeps going.

Alright, here's what Romans 1:24 says:

"24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another."

I suppose you could interpret that as homosexuality being "wrong"... But it's so vague it could mean anything.

the brain shuts down...but not the mind of the being.

Go on....explain....

From a philosohical perspective. Well, if the mind is capable to grasp ideas and knowledge which are things that are not physical wouldn't it be possible that our mind once in progress cannot be stop? Or does the mind can only grasp things that physical. Like a rock or a tree? Wouldn't that be putting limits in our minds? Kinda like a bell. You hit once but the sound continues.

for one thing: 🙂 it does not say the earth was created in a day, it says: it was with out form and void and darkness
Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Gen 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

here's is scriptures on homesexuals: NEW TESTMENT
1 Tim 1:8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
1 Tim 1:9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
1 Tim 1:10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
1 Cor 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
1 Cor 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.

OLD TESTMENT:
Lev 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

The Bible... As I have said before, is a list of morals and guidelines that was written SO LONG ago that to take it word for word in the present is utter nonsense! Eating meat on a Friday? Who cares! What day of the week it is will not change the fact that if I want a T-Bone steak I will have on.

Sorry, I'm having a hard time following your logic on this one.

Are you saying that because humans are capable of creating the concept of God in our brains....that THAT somehow means our brains cannot stop?

Can you give me examples of such ideas or knowledge?

and who knows that our days are the same as Gods days?? hmm maybe they are not.

wow.
2 lines.
Hold on, I'm gonna go dig up two lines that no one could ever agree with. I'm sure you don't agree with EVERY little word in the bible.

To have Blind faith is something I cannot do. I have faith, but I have questions as well.

Not talking about God on this one Link. I'm talking about the knowledge we keep inside of us. The experiences and ideas we develop during our lifespan can't possibly just disappear. Eventually the mind expands in life so what happens in death? Does death=the end of a person? Physically yes! But what becomes of our thoughts and knowledge. It can't just go poof into the air. Something happens when we die. And I guess the mind records every event, every little detail in life, and I gotta a feeling that the mind also continues to record other events, and details in death.

Question for you Link:

Do you think that Death is the end? Once we die, that's it! We just stop existing? Or does our essence continues after our physical body has stop working?

everyone has questions.

In a way were are all philosophers. We continue to question things we don't understand and even when a thing has been proven we continue to ask more. I like that 😊

What about answers? Well, we must first ask the questions. 😉

1.) God lives outside of time. He does not age, he does not grow old. Day and Night are the same to him....infact...in space, there is no day or night to keep track of days.

2.) A day on Jupiter is much much longer than a day on Earth. So using "days" as a measure of time is futile.

I honestly don't thk, can i prove, NO, but it's possible that our day is not the same as Gods day.

Why can't they just disappear? They have no physical location in the world, they are merely a part of our brains that functions while our brain still functions.

Our thoughts and knowledge are all a direct result of our physical person. If you never had a brain, then those thoughts would cease to exsist because there would be no brain to capture them, so why is it impossible to believe that once the brain stops functioning physically...that our thoughts and knowledge stop functioning as well.

why can't it just go "poof in the air? That's how they thoughts go their in the first place.....POOF! They appeared. Easy come....easy go.

Yes, death is the end. Once your brain ceases to function...so does eveything else in YOUR world. (not THE world) I don't believe humans have a soul, or an essence. I believe those to be more things thought up in the human imagination to go along with God/Heaven/and Hell.

What is a soul? what is this "essence"? It's nothing. It's something you tell yourself exsists in order to comfort yourself. Because without a soul, you can't get into heaven....but what is heaven? it's just a place you created in your mind to comfort your thoughts and your beliefs about our exsistance.

For thousands of years people have been looking for a high purpose in life. Why is it that living life itself isn't the highest purpose?
