I believe you are incorrect with your opinion and understanding. God the Father, Christ/God I AM are Science and they Created them. The book of Job chapters 38-39 proved God created the Universe and Science. Christ claimed He is Creator of Science. ~~ Jesus The Great " I AM " God (From The Dead Sea Scrolls)I, the Lord God of creation, who was and who is and who shall always be the one true God, the mind, the very center of the Universe, speaks to your own heart. The words that I have spoken to my prophets Moses and others were that he should recognize that the great “I Am.” filled his being with the power and the authority to open his mouth in my name and to proclaim his words as a living words that I placed deeply within him. I have in times past spoken through the mouths of my prophets and then through the mouths of my apostles. Now the times and seasons are approaching, as are the reasons, when my words shall again be spoken by my obedient prophets and apostles. Their words shall be my words and their deeds that shall be my deeds, because I have spoken this thing before the World was ever formed. Those words that I now speak shall be hidden for a season and then shall be revealed in the last times I shall cause the Earth to quake and the sunlight, which represents the new dawning, shall shine brightly upon those who are appointed to carry my words from the darkness of the caves to the bright sunlight of my new revelation to all mankind ... and mankind shall read and they shall study those words and they shall find that they are the words that will cause an awakening to occur in the minds of mankind. It has been said in times past that I am in the wind and I am in the fire and I am into the waters. These words are not true. The truth of this matter is that I am the wind. I am the fire. I am the water. I am in everything and in everything that exists. When you touch the mountain, you touch me. When you are touching the water, you are touching me. When you touch the fire, you are touching me. I am the Lord of the Universe and there is not one place that I am not. I am not in the flowers, the plants, the fruit of the land, but I am the flowers. I am the plants. I am the fruit of the land. Mankind will climb into the heavens. I am not in the heavenly, but I am the heavenly. When I created man from the dust of the Earth, I was the dust of the Earth and I was and am the breath of life that causes mankind to live.Say not that the Lord your God is in the heavens or on the Earth. I am the heavens and I am the Earth. Now you have received the true revelation of my word, which was spoken to you in times past. The word said that I am everywhere present. I am omnipresent. I am not part of myself, but rather I am the whole of the Universe. Wherever you look, wherever you come or go, whatever you do or say, I am there in the midst of you because I am not only in, but rather I am you! It shall be written in the future that man is the universe. I say to you that I do not dwell in the universe of mankind, but I am that Universe of Mankind, and there is no separation whatsoever. These words that I have spoken to you at this time and in this place are that you might believe the truth of the message that as my Father is one with me so is the Spirit one with me. Now I am likewise in you and you are in me and that means I am one and you are with me. Have I not spoken these words in the past that I am in you and you are in me? (John 17:21) Jesus said, " That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me." Let this testimony be with you forever and forever, as we together traverse the streets of that sojourn from dawn to night. Be at peace and look deeply within yourself and you will find me. Again I have spoken the words in the past that you are indeed gods. I am your God. This revelation is of utmost importance and you must believe the whole truth as I have spoken it in your pure hearing. I say to you, allow the vibrations of your spirit, your inner ear, be unstopped and hear what the Spirit says to you at this hour. I am the center of your universe, because I am the whole of your universe. Know this, for this is the word of the living God, the Creator of all things which are. In time and seasons to come this word will be revealed to you and you shall behold the brightness of this truth, and you shall say, “This is the light for which I have long awaited. This is the revelation that will hold and maintain me through every experience of life.”Beware, there are those who would destroy this truth, but they shall not be able to destroy this truth because the truth abides in you and you abide in the truth. I have spoken in times past. And I have said that the truth shall cause many to walk in freedom, out of darkness and satanic bondage. And they shall have no further influence or rule over you. I have spoken these truths by the words of my lips and these words are true. Accept them and you shall live in peace, in joy and in victory over all things. Amen!You are invited to share this information with others, but kindly acknowledge copyright and keep this article intact. You are reproducing another lie here Nathan. There is absolutely no Dead Sea Scroll that says that. You are reproducing fraudulent material. that awkward moment when you forget to delete the part about not violating copyright as you are violating copyright...😂😂😂😂😂

A true story This a situation I dealt with years ago. A little old lady would come into the emergency department where I worked and she was the epitomy of the classic little old lady. Prim and proper without a hair out of place, sitting there demurely knitting for the hospital auxiliary. Every week she came in for IV hydration, which kept her alive. Occasionally it was my turn to give her her IV therapy. She must have figured out I was religious (bun, skirt) because she would always talk to me about how when she died she was going to out God in His place. She looked like this little saint but she had a hatred for God and she took every chance she could to tell me. You can't change anyone that doesn't want to change but I remember thinking, wow, what a place to he in just before you're about to die. Well, IV hydration doesn't keep an old lady alive for long and sure enough she was admitted to the hospital to die. She wouldn't eat or drink and had orders not to be resuscitated. Soon she was unconscious and for several days we turned her regularly every 2-3 hours. I wondered if she would die on a shift that I would be working. Sure enough, it was a night shift and sometime past midnight when we heard a loud crash. We ran down the hall towards the sound and into her room. This completely unconscious, dying little lady had jumped right out of the bed and landed on the floor sitting with her back against the wall and I have never seen such a look of terror in my whole life. I couldn't even imagine a look like that, haven't even seen anything like it in a horror movie. And she took one big gasp and she was gone. She couldn't have been an atheist because she obviously believed there was a God and she was going to teach Him a thing or two. But whenever I hear people despising God through unbelief, I think of that woman. I’ve never quite figured out how one could despise God through unbelief. Unbelief, by definition, is a lack of belief. And when used in the religious sense it refers to a lack of belief in the existence of the Christian God. From the unbeliever’s perspective there is no Christian God just as there is no King of the USA. Claiming that unbelievers despise the Christian God is akin to them despising the King of the USA. It’s a concept that makes no sense. I can understand however how a believer might despise God. One only has to look at the actions of God in the Old Testament to realise how it would be quite justifiable for a believer to despise God. Some of his actions are pretty despicable. I can also understand how a believer might despise God if they or someone thy loved had been a victim of child abuse and God had stood idly by doing nothing to prevent it. I can also understand how someone with a relative who had gone down with Covid19 and was struggling to breathe might despise God for letting the virus spread uncontrollably across the earth knowing (a) that the health services in most countries are unable to cope with the huge numbers of people that will become sick and (b) that they have insufficient medical equipment to treat them. What I find rather peculiar is that more believers don’t despise God for his apathy and inaction. It is therefore perfectly logical for believers to despise God. But not unbelievers. The unbeliever has no feelings as regards God. And deathbed stories involving the delusions of believers have no impact on unbelievers whatsoever. No unbeliever takes them seriously. If only believers understood unbelief as well as unbelievers understand belief there would much better communication between the two on the board. Matt10

well, middle-high at least 😂 I'm no rocket surgeon, but I love the history of science and human thought. I've not had formal education in history, so I'm ever learning it. Well you are on a whole different level than most of us. I take on line classes all the time in science because it's of such interest to me. But I sure wish I knew a lot more. I tend to lean more towards the medical side of things. Have taken many classes that are given on line for GP's as that's my line of interest. Physics is another one I love, but I have to concede I'm a dummy when the math gets to be tooooo much ha! I'm not medically inclined in the slightest. When interviewing, they asked if I would be able to teach Anatomy and Physiology if needed. I told them I only knew about 4 bones, and one muscle (I found out later "head bone" doesn't count! 😕), and told them "Cell and smaller". Fewer moving parts the smaller you go, and the physical systems are easier to identify and link/unify. I once removed a distal salivary stone with a razor blade duct taped to chopsticks, lest you think too highly of my sense!

We each have our strengths and we are all needed. My son is a public health nurse on the front lines right now leading a team that is doing testing and contact tracing. So he obviously got his interest in the medical field from me. Love chatting with him and running things by him because I can learn from him. The roles have reversed. I taught him how to tie his shoes, and he's teaching me sooo much more.

You bet. And I know what I saw. You don't know what she "saw" or whether it was simply a hallucination of a dying brain. Well you can believe what you want. I have witnessed many deaths, including deaths of the friends. Never saw anything like it. It probably means nothing to you, but it sure spoke loud and clear to me.

I worked as a healthcare provider in nursing homes for a few years and I too have seen quite a few people as they died. I was there when mom died and she was on morphine at the end to ease her breathing because of congestive heart failure. She was seeing things up on the ceiling. Real or due to the levels of opioids in her bloodstream. I guess you would say she was seeing something and I would say she was hallucinating.

Continue to post your complaints, opinion on the general board and I will engage you or anyone there. leave this board for 2x2 topics as the Admin. has asked us to do. Why, aren't you listening to the Adm. requests. In the past you keep on complaining to the Admin. on me posting these things on the main page to get me in trouble and get banned from posting on TMB. I know your game, enuf. Take it to the general board and post it there, ok.

I see no evidence whatsoever that would indicate the existence of a living, loving, caring God. All I hear about is a theoretical God, a character in a book whose only interventions in the world are found in old stories written by ancient men based on their (mis)understanding of the world at the time. I see believers making excuses for God to cover up his inaction and I hear believers claim credit for God for things which have much more plausible explanations but I see no evidence and hear no arguments that God is alive. The only reasonable conclusion that any rational person can come to therefore is that God is dead (or is as good as) and that the only place he continues to exist is inside the believer’s head.

I just don't like to see these kinds of things spread to those who will believe it without looking at the other possibilities. I've witnessed these things and know that end of life is also a starvation of oxygen to the brain that makes it react in different ways from normal. NDE's are an example of a brain lacking oxygen and the hallucinations it entails. So you post your belief, and I will post the scientific reasons for it, so that the readers can have both to look at and make an informed decision from.

Matt10 Well He's in my heart and in my soul. So I can't give you the tangible evidence that you want and honestly, that's ok with me, dear mat. Well at least we’re agreed on something, i.e. that God is an internal entity. Of course as soon as a believer here persuades me that the Christian God really is not dead I’ll happily change my avatar to a ‘Jesus Loves You’ one like my neighbour has on the back of his car. But contrary to the advice you gave me earlier, I won’t hold my breath. Matt10
