Orphalesion Posted July 24, 2020 #5 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Isn't that a bit presumptuous? We know nothing about "God's" plan for other planets and their inhabitants. Maybe they never "fell" like humanity or maybe they all get their own Jesus (Jesuses? Jesi?) and the Christian god is currently busy incarnating on each and every one of them. That's why bad things happen to good people, Yahweh is busy incarnating on other planets and dying for their sins? 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's their belief. The gentleman from Tejas was speaking of Christ, though. Mormons aren't exactly "Christians" in the traditional sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micahc Posted July 25, 2020 #14 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I would laugh, but people actually spend time thinking this stuff up. Now my question is. What would we do for eternity? Christians think all the fun stuff is a sin. will we all be like barbies and GI joes, with nothing down there? do we still have to go to church on sunday and will there be football? I mean, the more I think about it, I would rather be in cleveland. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Imaginarynumber1 Posted July 25, 2020 Popular Post #15 Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) This person is a state representative. The makes laws that affect hundreds of thousands of lives and he is fixated on something that supposedly occurred 2000 years ago (that has no supporting evidence) in a tiny part of the world. Can you imagine being that deluded? I'm sure some.of you absolutely can. Edited July 25, 2020 by Imaginarynumber1 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a couple of comments. Being an American, he can believe anything he wants to as long as he doesn't attempt to force it on others. Also, his opinion is all he shared. I don't think he was trying to get a bill passed or anything. Believe it or not, the majority of we human-type beings believe in a Creator and an afterlife. The difference I've observed over the years is that most believers may think nonbelievers are misguided but most of the more "vocal" nonbelievers, think of us as "less" in intelligence. Less in credibility and often they even assume we're mental. Engaging in such judgments of strangers is too much of a drain for most of us.

Sojo Posted July 25, 2020 #21 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Personally, I think that not everyone considers what "God's" purpose, reasoning, or ability to manifest himself throughout the universe might entail. The means of manifestation, the simultaneity of the manifestations and/or their locations throughout the universe would be his to decide according to his own purpose(s). Many don't understand that He would be willing to take full responsibility for all evil that manifests itself anywhere in the universe. Or that he could have a plan to understand and experience the consequences of that evil in such a manner that he also has full authority and ability to forgive the "Karmic" debts anyone incurs as a result of their "sins" against others or the laws of righteousness. They may not understand forgiveness can be obtained once they understand his love and willingness to do so. No one is forced to accept his offer, and individuals are free to learn their lessons through the Karmic process as long as they want to. I think individuals can become "one" with God but not everyone may understand what that means (including me). But I think it could include individualization of God in different areas to accomplish the mind, will, and purposes he may have for those areas. Just because Christ could manifest as Jesus on our world, doesn't mean that there couldn't be other manifestations of the one true universal, infinite, eternal Spirit elsewhere. To think this is impossible smacks of narrow-mindedness to me. And no, I don't think its the same individual going around saying "How many times do I have to friggin' do this?". Being one with God isn't limited to just one individual manifestation of the same individual. I'm not sure if I'm getting the concept across, but hope it may help some folks get the idea. Just some of my thoughts. Sojo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.A.s and Asians are Pan-theistic so we are all one with "God", the Living Universe. We just don't personify it or give it gender. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
