How can an American buy a CHEAP house in 3rd World?

in not so ancient china, girl children didn;t count. Hakka boat people tied home made life preservers to sons, daughters were unencumbered.

Maybe that tradition still exists among some chinese.

 

1.6 billion! about the same population as New York City

 

From the earliest days recorded in bible, to this day... First he failed to prevent kain and abel fiasco, then he erased many a city from the ace of the earth many a time, sent plagues... do you even need to ask...?

 

Good for them. I hope they succeed. Fewer drowned babies that way.

 

But, since you asked, he sent his dogs to wage wars in his name, organised inquisition, created hitler, pinochet, stroessner, bush, clintons and obama, blair, that ausie prime minister howard something, each bigger "christian" than the next. and the list is just scratching the surface.

who created all these murderers?

"god" who "loves us"...

 

God gave us freedom of choice. This life is a test. The reward of eternal life, isn't as servants but as family. Sons of GOD. He's carefull about who he promotes higher than the angels. Paul says, one day we'll sit in judgement over the angels. Throughout the Bible God warns the wages of sin is death. Not eternal torture! DEATH. Hell is a greek word meaning the grave. It was corrupted by ignorant men to be torture. GOD is LOVE. LOVE is GOD. Anyone who knows love, knows GOD!

 

Yes, it's just that China is finite country and it cannot sustain the growth any more.

An usa-nian prof. dr. of applied mathematics explains the horror of the "constant" growth delusion.

Pure science, and simple numbers.

Very interesting lecture.

 

Don't blame God for the evil men do.

 

I'm happy for yo to think so, but consider that you could be wrong...

bible screams errors from the first page. Eve is described as being created TWICE on the very first page. Then the only people on Earth make one error after another, culminate by one brother killing another, and in "paradise" too mind you. And then the surviving brother gets to marry a woman from people living just outside of the gates. People who, it turns out, have been around BEFORE the very first people.

Howz that possible, except in a children's tale?

No such thing as "god". Just a delusion designed to fool and subdue people.

If "god" is perfect and made us to his image, how come we are so imperfect?

Which then demonstrates that "god" is not perfect either, hence he's no "god", hence "god" doesn't exist.

 

The China civilization just a old story.

China has geart history 2000 years ago ,but today...only language ,food, some traditional art call Chinese ,the others are take from western culture .
China Does not create any Thought, faith and high technology since many century ago.

 

I know love yet no "god" ever turned up. Fortunately... I'd hate to be "loved" by a serial killer... And the same guy who promoted infidelity and incest.

Sounds more like devil to me. Yet, it was "god" who let the girls have sex with their father after Sodoma and Gomorra "loving".

 

Well, if you are Chinese, with people like you, trashing your own country, little wonder there's been a stagnation.

It's not the country that's to blame. It's the people. I think that Chile is a great country, but you should see what our politicians get from me...

They are the ones screwing the country up. And people who keep electing bad scumbags.

 

I understand your reasoning. But, you missed a couple things. First, the Bible doesn't contradict itself. Interpretations conflict, and when they do, they're incorrect.
We are Gods children. Of course Genesis is a childrens story. it had to be simple and compelling to be passed down by word of mouth untill Moses wrote it down.

It doesn't say there were other people. it does say Adam and Eve had other sons and daughters. Sons of Adam most likely married sisters. But not important. It was a simple tale for a simple illiterate shepherd people to pass vocally from generation to generation.

If you look at a laptop computer or a fine automobile. Could you possibly imagine it came into being on it's own? by itself? Or do you see the designer and hands of the maker?

The universe and all the life we know of and more probably exists elsewhere, a MUCH more complex design than a car or laptop!

 

God wants us to decide right or wrong. He doesn't want slaves or robots. the evil men do is not caused by God, but by men.

 

God is a spirit, and mans spirit is just like his, only weaker and diminshed.
God the creator? and man the creator. Art, music, architecture, technology.
God is Love? Man loves. Soldier on battlefield sacrifices himself for his buddies. No greater love exists. Parents sacrifice for children. People die for ideals. Love.

Shall I go on how we are imperfect images of Him?
