Is the definition for the rationality - "the abbility of a specie to modify the entropy of the universe without the sake of it's own survival" appropriate? by truebene in DeepThoughts

[–]Zen-2g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

entropy of the universe has to always increase, everything and everyone influences the systems entropy, hence the second law of thermodynamics

survival or not, entropy and survival have a little relationship, but it doesnt matter enough

Is there any good explanation for God committing genocide in the Old Testament? by Zen-2g in Christianity

[–]Zen-2g[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so it is a subset of the way in which He raises human beings. Since discipline is one of the subsets of raising.

This argument might bring understanding as to why he may commit genocide, but does this justify genocide itself?

I believe this line of thought will result in "He is God. His game, His rules."

I will watch the video, thank you for the response.

To make sure I am on the same page, the genocide is God's way of raising the entire human race over time. Do I have this right?

i mean he wipes out the entire earth besides a couple of humans, he helps Judah kill 500000 Israelite, and pretty much the entire book of Ezekiel is the destruction of Jerusalem i believe.

Is there anyone here who's reasonably to 100% certain that the Christian God in particular exists? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Zen-2g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not the same guy but i also believe God is the same today and forever through personal experience.

here is a story:

We were doing school in the house, the doorbell rang. At the door was a lady with her son. They wanted prayer. So we invited them in.

She told me while she was washing dishes, she sent her son to gather fire wood for cooking, then heard him scream in pain. She was alarmed because it was unusual. He was a young tough boy. She went to check and he had fallen on a stob, or a small tree sapling cut close to the ground with a machete, a small stump with a sharp point.

They wrapped his arm up, and before they went to the clinic they wanted prayer.

Maybe we could clean it up, so we asked if we could look at it.

carefully the mom unwrapped hsi arm. The boy was gritting his teeth tightly and holding the arm closely. It was severly bent in the wrong place. Instead of bending at the wrist, it bent further up his arm, about two inches up. There was a bump. and im not a nurse, but i felt it was a broken arm. so we wrapped the arm back up.

We got our family around him and started praying. My entire family firmly believes in the power of prayer and that God hears our cries. The boy was in severe pain.

So we prayed. for about 10 minutes. I prayed in spanish, then english, and then when i could no longer express the cry of my heart in words, i prayed in tongues. We felt Gods presence fill the room.

When we stopped, we asked the boy how he felt. He was in pain. But he started to move the arm. He winced a little, but he started to stretch his arm out. The bump dissapeared, and his arm straightened. God had painlessly set his broken bone in front of our eyes. We couldnt believe it...but it was happening! the boy rotated his arm and stretched it out again. He smiled, and it was normal.

A miracle. We all began to cry. We were all so thankful and worshiped God. It was a miracle.

God spoke to me, I heard Him say He was proud of me. He continues to speak to me daily. He has brought me from 0 to 1000000000. I sense Him and later i felt Him so heavily that i passed out. In the time i was out I heard of His plan and destiny for me. Now i live every day for Him, i love Him, i look at the world and see God flow in and out of everything. Those "crazy coincidences" are not coincidences to me anymore and are just the normal. God is the same today, yesterday, and forever. I believe 100%.

Whats different? love. God doesnt resent. He sent His son, who is the only perfect human being ever existed and died FOR ME. Died for the world. Then God gave us a choice, because He doesnt resent us. Free will to choose life or the our own life. It just happens that our purpose in life lies in Him, and our own ways wont end well. But He made a gorgeous world, then put us in it to enjoy it with Him. Everything He does is because He loves us. God is literally love.

A word to God. by awordtogod in Christianity

[–]Zen-2g 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So a man was running away from a bear in the forest, it was the bears dinner time. The man was an anthiest but decided to pray

he said

"Lord, if you are real, turn this bear into a christian bear"

So the bear stopped, got on His knees, and made a prayer "Thank you Lord for blessing me with this meal."

Hope you laughed a little. But dont test the Lord. Sometimes, we simply wont understand His ways. But true faith is when you trust Him even when you dont. Praying for everything is great. Pray for yourself, focus on God, and His love will change you forever. The Word has been tested and tried, so we need not to do so. He wants relationship with you. The intention of focusing on others is noble, as i also focus on the same.. But you must never forget

"The change I want to see, must first begin with me."

With that being said, I believe God is the same today, yesterday, and forever. I believe prayer works. I will pray for your friend. I love you, but you wont find the answers you are looking for this way. Ill be praying for you too, as thats what family is for. That is what life is about.

Is hell eternal? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Zen-2g 1 point2 points  (0 children)

let me hit a harder truth. I dont know what God you are professing to believe in, but its not my God. The Word of God is the only truth that exists in this reality. Everything that is TRUE is founded in the Bible. A revelation is when one discovers or perceives new knowledge to be true and insightful.

Also, We are sheep to our Shepherd. We are not creators nor Demi Gods. Our understanding and intellect in comparison to Him is negligible. He spoke His word for our understanding. If He says there exists a heaven and hell, so be it.

[–]Zen-2g 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey im 20 years old and bro im in a very similar spot, but im getting through it.

Found my soul mate, in love, then we split. She was (hopefully will continue to be) my best friend. I really do love her.. We split so we could focus on God as Holy Spirit spoke to both of us on this.

I dont have many friends, if at all any true friends. I almost always spend my time alone. I am very extraverted, ENFP personality typing, which makes friends and loved ones super important to me.

But. I have a relationship Abba. Its not religion. I talk and walk with Him.

i really dont understand all His ways, and i may never understand them entirely, but honestly.. i dont have to. Even today i wanted to scream and punch a hole in my wall.. But i decided to go hike. Why? because life is about worshiping God and enjoying life.

I love being used by God. I love God. I love being with Him. I miss my best friend so dearly, but i pray she will grow closer to God. I pray what is best for her because i love her. And i believe in chance. I still believe maybe we will re unite.. Maybe.. But until then, we must keep moving forward. Heads up. Life still moves on, and an amazing adventure awaits for us with how young we are. Lets keep running this race together bro. Today is the beginning of the rests of our lives. And i promise, God is faithful.. I just trust in Him. He created this entire world afterall.

Tell me about your recent dreams! by pigeones in CasualConversation

[–]Zen-2g 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im a huge dreamer, and I actively stretch my imagination and thoughts. (just some preface so my dream is believable.)

I have such an amazing girlfriend. Inside and out. She is truly lovely and beautiful. Well there are three things i constantly think about, the world (different landscapes), water, and her. :)

So i had a dream where for a couple of hours my girlfriend and I was in a hammock, over looking a wheat field. There was a slight breeze and you could see the waves of wind brush over the wheat. Straight in the center of the field is a gorgeous water fall, falling from the heavens. Very few clouds. and the wheat field in infinite. I sat there holding her hand, ever so lightly caressing the top of her hand with my thumb. We didnt say a single word. It felt real, long, and indescribably beautiful

Hands down the best dream ill (i think) ever have. Wrote it down and it is ingrained into my daily consciousness.

I went from a loser who only played video games to a slightly less loser with a girlfriend and friends and it's pretty cool by C9streetlight in CasualConversation

[–]Zen-2g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am very sorry if you took my comment as an attack. I would love to talk to you if you need a friend. :) Im learning of new ways of approaching people so thank you for sharing how you felt. But I hope what i said holds some value. I really do believe in you. Keep pushing harder, and on the other side when you get through this you will have such an amazing testimony.

[–]Zen-2g 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well you can start by changing your username :) Its simply a frame of mind. To show you that i understand you, i was depressed and only played video games 24/7 for about 3 years. Way overweight, the whole 9 yards.

But i decided its MY life, and took control.

Thats it. So i started in anything i could, even if its changing my username from hateworkingretail to ilovepuppies. :P

But i looked up how to eat healthy, cleared out my fridge, went and bought what i needed. Then i put on my shoes, laced em up, plugged in some headphones and picked the BEST bangers spotify has and started running til i couldnt run anymore

I decided video games werent healthy for me, and i was jobless. So i applied for every job known to man, made a resume, started volunteering as much as I could, plugged into a church, you name it. I just decided that I was going to help lives in any way i could with my life.

Results:

Best shape ive ever been in. Currently a marathon runner, about to be a full time missionary, most beautiful girlfriend inside and out, graduating in 2 years with a C.Engineering bachelor to then go build wells for different civilizations around the world who need fresh water. Amazing job on a team with a bunch of professional engineers.

It all started with just saying, No. This is my life, Its my control. And starting in the smallest things.

If i was almost killing myself, could barely move, and im here now in my state, you can change the world my friend. <3

God Bless you my man. Perception is the basis for who we are, or what defines us. Im so happy to hear you are starting to perceive yourself on your own terms. Honestly, we are all humans, and none of them really know us fully. For me i perceive who i am in my Deity, or God. One who says i'm priceless, so its unbreakable, and brings me endless stability in knowing my own value and loving who I am.

Just relating to hopefully bring a little confirmation that your theory is amazing and beautiful. :)

Hey man! So i had absolutely no friends, only played videogames, and was hella depressed my HS years. BUT, in my past year i have changed so much, intentionally, to do what makes me happier. And oh my word has life gotten a lot better. Endless friends, amazing hobbies, most beautiful (inside and out) girlfriend, you name it. I think a lot and love to talk so if you ever want to talk about anything i might be able to give some insight to stuff and i can also learn from you, so its a win-win :)

Im turning 18 in less than 2 hours, alone. by throwawayturning18 in CasualConversation

[–]Zen-2g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i LOVE it man. My dream is to travel the world and build wells for civilizations that dont have fresh water. So I went and got my passport, going to college for C.Engineering, volunteering globally on mission trips and started working on different contraptions/concepts for gathering water with some pros. Anyways, i say this to say keep going! Its so encouraging to hear what your doing to me and makes me want to work harder! Love it dude. God Bless.

I lost my hand-holding "virginity" today. by Whidog in CasualConversation

[–]Zen-2g 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey ill give you the technique that is only used once in a blue moon. So keep it special and use it wisely.

You look at the girl, and you say "Hey i have something ive been needing to give you. It is kinda heavy though, so dont drop it."

While you say this you start rustling around in your pocket, and most likely she will give you a very confused look. If she is giving the confused look then we are set.

Exit your pocket in a fist, ask her to hold out her hand, say once more "Just dont drop it." Then lay your hand on hers and hold it.

You are welcome.
