Coffee before Conciousness
Need I say more? I may be upright but I'm not concious before at least my travelmug worth of coffee in me.

Why do people worry more if you argue with your voices than if you just talk with them? What about if you lose those arguements?
Sanity is LONG gone. So far away, it quit sending postcards. :D

This one came off a coffee thread on either here or BFC and was instantly added to my sig. I have blood in my coffee system :p

thanks miklos for the insight

your right. in a way the bible does compliement science visa versa. sure the bible doesnt have all the answers but neither does science because to me both are a bit flawed. but thats okay because i can't have blind faith nor do i completely believe in scientology. perhaps the answer is to believe a little bit of both.

i think i'll continue my journey and even if i never reach the end i'll be fine with that. maybe thats just the way i was built.

Blind Faith

#23

Post by Gibsoniam »

I don't think anyone should have Blind Faith. That's phrase thrown around alot, especially by Christians (of which I am one) but I think its misleading. You must know what you believe. The Blind Faith of which Christians usually speak I think is too general. We have faith in something not seen or touched, but we can observe its existance by the influence it has around us. Much like the wind, we can't SEE wind, but we can see the efects of the wind. I believe wind exists because I see its effects, even if I can't see the wind.

Its a cliche example, but it works pretty well.

Hey Darth, Here is a scripture close to what you said:

Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen".

God Bless :)

ISAIAH 40:31 But those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; They will mount up on wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.

Top line is the chorus from a song by Odin's Eye, which gives praise to the primary God of my faith Asatru (aka Odinism).ODIN is also called WOTAN and ALLFATHER.

Bottom line are the three most important aspects of my life taken together and are central to my Heathen beliefs, not in order of importance, but all of equal importance, one without the others is meaningless if you know what I mean. :)

After reading this discussion of signatures, I decided to add the signature that goes out on all of my emails. It is Latin for "The truth will set you free." It comes from the Gospel of John, and it has become a motto of mine.

The second part of my signature is one of the truths that has set me free. :D

Hey naggalowmo,

My prayers are with you that you will come to the end of your journey. And I second everything that darth said. Be ruthless in your search for the truth and I think you will find it.
Veritas liberabit vos.

Spuds are good.

I have studied Aikido for about 4 years now, and in that time have learned a great deal about how to approach different situations and have them turn out for the best. My Sensei seems to be purely an Aikidoist from what I know of his prior study, but does keep an open mind to integration of other arts and always makes sure that we bow-out of the dojo with some food for thought.

Since the beginning, I have taken and reflected upon the many different pearls of wisdom bestowed upon me and my peers, and have gained an understanding of life that is difficult to describe.

I was once a very hot-tempered and arrogant person that through much of my middle and high school years was taking antidepressants to calm me down. While I cannot testify to any loss of arrogance, my temper has leveled and my approach to each day is different now that I have begun to understand ukemi.

I hold a great admiration for the late Morihei Ueshiba, and my signature line is what I feel embodies Aikido and O Sensei's philosophies.

What a great thread topic, good way to get to know each other better!

As a Christian, I believe it is important that ALL come to know Jesus Christ and recieve salvation offered through him. That is why I chose my first quote from Matthew because it is an open invitation from Christ to the world to find "rest" in him. The proverb I have chosen kinda sums up as "Man's Ambition Vs. God's Will". Though we have our own plans and ways we would like to see things done, it is ultimately God's will that governs us.

And the Hawkbill bit kinda speaks for itself :D .

Hate to take this off topic, but what is it with christians and the "equality to man" thing? My extended family has a few different religions in it, and I'm the only one that gets ignored when some topics come up.
For example, homosexuals. "It's not the christian thing to do"... Leviticus 20:13 and Romans 1:26-32 say otherwise. If "the laws of god supercede the laws of state" can we run a lynch mob and be free from persecution from state?

Wonder why I get ignored? :rolleyes: :D

Laws

#32

Post by Gibsoniam »

Staying "off topic" in the "off topic" forum:

Typically I've understood the concept of law, in regard to Christians, to be something like this:

If a law is passed that ALLOWS something that is contrary to the will of God as portrayed in scripture, the Christian shouldn't indulge in it just because the State says its okay. There doesn't seem to be an demand to go for the throat of those that passed the law or those who practice the now allowed thing. In a democracy, mobilizing to change the law would probably be expected, but attempting to change something isn't against the law (in free societies, anyway).

However, If a law is passed that is designed to "force" persons to participate in actions that violate God's will or commands, then the Christian is expected to follow the laws and will of God. An example would be Christians in countries that have anti-christian or anti-religion laws or heavy restrictions. Those Christians adhere to their faith and continue to practice it, in spite of the fact that it is, in many cases, against the law and could cause great mortal harm to them if they're caught. I believe this principal of loyalty to God/Religion if the State demands contrary behavior could probably be found in some fashion in all religions or beliefe systems.

My first sig speaks for it self; teeth just cut better and I find them better looking on a blade.

The second is quoted from a thread of The Deacon that really made me laugh. I could have come up with it myself. I really like those kind of sayings. It's just the way it is :D

I really like that Deacon quote. Since I've seen it around the forum on your signatures, I've actually used it a couple of times. You'd think here in San Antonio, TX everyone would be carrying knives (and guns!) but still I get some wierd looks on occasion when I pull out a knife to use it for some menial purpose. :D

Well, mine comes from years of building my wood shop (tools)... When ever I came home with a new tool, I would just look at the wife, smile and had her the receipt... Sometime she would give me "The Look",,,, you all know what look this is... :o I would say, "sorry I just had to.... " Now it has rolled over to building my Spydie collection... And yes, I still get the look.... hahah... I tell all my friends and co-workers when they want something and they say my wife will not let me get that... I just tell em, " heck... It is easier to ask for forgiveness then permission"... :cool: They laugh and say "does it work for you....?" Oh YA.... Has for years.... :eek: :D
Easer to ask for forgiveness than permission…. :p

Mine are pretty self explainatory. Though no one has ever mentioned the frist one which I've had for years here. Second one should cover most people here, though we do have several "international" members that it wouldn't. Third is the constant reminder.

One of my fav's ive seen is "rather be judged ny 12 than carried by 6"
