Question for my religious peoples:

[naturalistic]

man, are you making up history now?

WTF!!!!

they didnt sit down at the table and shoot the shit

religion has always been spread by force

the west africans practiced spirtuality until the moors came in conquered them and gave them islam

the missionairies swept through europe and spread christanity through force

i could give you a million examples of how religion is really spread

youre whole reasoning is extremely flawed

and there is a reason why religion and violence are synonymous

its the easiest way to control people on a macro level

Without getting into argument, but look again, because I think it is you with a wrong angle on history. Your historical memory struggles to go back beyond when Western powers began to dominate the African region, or when the Arab world started to make its move. Prior to that people travelled for many reasons and with that interaction between peoples.

The Queen of Sheba are you forgetting travelled clear across Africa to visit Solomon and enquire of his wisdom. These people were a different people from the people of today ?. The Ethiopian Eunuch who had in his possession the book Isaias and low and behold he could read too, had a not so chance meeting with a disciple of Christ. You think God planned that meeting so that it would end in nothing ?.

It is your history lesson that is lacking, because you fail to see the hidden truth plainly put before you.

dude, youre killing me

for one, the missionaries and the moors spread their respective religions before there was a western anything

secondly, you cant quote me bible stories from the old testament to prove a point about christanity. That doesnt even make sense.

you havent made sense in this entire thread

You think in terms of Judaism and Egyptian religion. You ever stop and remove yourself from the world you know now and try to place yourself in a world of the past. Do you think those wise men thought in terms of labels such as Judaism and Egyptian religion.

They just lived, and adhered to laws and practices, they never called things names, it was just their life. What you call religion was just a way of thinking, living. When they met upon others who came from far countries they reasoned with those strangers and compared knowledge.

You don't think it funny that Akhenatan tried to bring monothesism to Egypt 1000 years before Moses showed up, was not the Source (God's) way of reaching the Egyptians and changing their thought away from the many to one. After all God is no respecter of persons.

I might be reaching a little, but then you also don't seem to think that maybe man also corrupts knowledge and maybe things taught have to be retaught ????

We have to move away from simplistic thinking when looking into these things.

I understand what your saying and I agree that knowledge can be corrupted. I also believe that the corruption within knowledge can be filtered and true knowledge reassembled.

For example...

I personally think Akhenatan and Moses are the same person. While their stories are completely different. Their revelations and what they did are too similar to ignore. Moses's story explains Akhenatan's reasoning.

[bootlegga]

thats cool bruh. im not knocking your religion



dude, dont go all over the place when i was responding to your original argument

you basically stated that its cool to believe in anything

i pointed out that the world isnt flat

now, youre on some whole other bullshit that has nothing to do with your original argument

thats also called a spin.....

ok, then let me get to the point.


Believe what you want.

we have the tech, and it was proven as a scientifical fact that the planet as we know it is round, and that the universe does not revolve around the Earth.

however, belief in a God, in a Osirus, in a Allah, in Reincarnation, in Zeus cannot be scientifcally proven, or disproven.


it's based on faith, which is subjective, and cannot be measured by laws, theories, formulae, or theorems.


if you believe in "nothing" or "logic", cool, do you.

But i really don't see the point in measuring/proving something via facts and logic, in something totally subjective like 'faith'...


i mean, why not prove that there is no such thing as 'love' while y'all at it?

SUSTAINED!

playa akhenaten and moses lived in exactly the same era - am not saying they were the same person just that there was no 1000 years between them - they lived in the same time!

First we have to have a consensus on the word myth and what it means.
Second we need a consensus of the affect of Judaism on Ancient Egyptian Religion. Keep in mind Jesus among many things was prophesied in the Bible long before he appeared. And prophesy s were revealed to the Egyptians in the Bible.
Could Pharaoh have dreamed of Jesus also?
If so what would he have called him? Heru??

nigga dont get this shit twisted there was no jesus prophecy long before he was born!!! all the attributes of jesus belonged to someone who lived thousand of years before him - horus!!!

 

[Olosi]

LOL...

when i was 10 God told me to get off the bike trail.

the bike trail was just as it sounds, a paved one lane street meant only for bicycles. it has signs posted at every entrance that implicitly stated "no motor vehicles".

when i was a kid i was on the bike trail, about to go around a blind curve, when God...not a voice, not my mind, not my understanding, not a near by friend as i was alone, told me to go into the grass and get off the bike trail.

i thought it was odd, but i did it.

immediately after a pick up truck came around that same blind curve, and if i stayed on the bike trail i wouldve been hit head on.

most Christians have a story like this.

this is why we believe.

there is no "critical" way to think about this other than there are higher powers at work in the lives of mortal man.

humans are hard wired by nature and evolution to believe in God.

most of us don't fight that nature.

Knowing there's a GOD and believing in Jesus are not the same. GOD had more than one child. Also, believing in Jesus does not rule out all those other stories. Man has been on Earth for millions of years, surely some of those stories came through the ages with many more untold.

​

Egyptians worshiped Pharaoh as Horus. Akhenaten broke away from that tradition and treated the concept of Horus as a revelation thus prophecy.
