Exactly.

And having some Holy Spirit in you sounds rather loony.

All I said, you affirmed. You played into my hands, just as I predicted. You have to be pretty smart to get on top of this old lady.

I never try to blow your cool; however, know, I know what your game is and it is a little bit funny, but not as hilarious as you seem to think it is. each:

Now we finished our little game, so let’s allow the thread to get back on topic.

No games here, I just tell it like it is.

 

[MaryContrary]

Right.

I suspect you didn't bother to think this one through...

In reality, is your lover male or female? More specifically, which do you accept them as?

Sorry but it is the rather obvious one to start with. :idunno:

Or, if you prefer, how about this? Faith is belief without evidence. So you have no faith at all? No faith in anything? Are you willing to make that claim in order to support your statement?

Or we can just jump right to the philosophical stuff, if you prefer.

Do you accept there in an existence outside yourself? Go ahead and explain how you proved that to yourself without using, you know, yourself. You actually can, you know. But to support your statement that you don't accept anything as reality without proof you'll have to say that you accept the existence of the universe outside yourself only because you've actually proven it to yourself. I'm curious if you'll actually do that.

Fact is, your claim to accepting nothing as reality without proof is just ridiculous. You only make the claim because you're too lazy to think and, consequently, mistakenly assume your rejection of someone else's faith make you seem more rational than they.

No games here, I just tell it like it is.

Yeah, I'm not seeing that. I'm seeing you being so arrogant about your beliefs that you don't bother considering anyone else's before dismissing them as irrational.

Wisdom. Proverbs 3:18 KJV

Edited to add: I should mention though that also it is truth in Ecclesiastes 1:18 KJV ... it is a paradox.

All that we think, do, or say should be for the glory of God.

Romans 11:36 (NKJV)
For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.

1 Corinthians 10:31 (NKJV)
Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

Oh how cute, Mary wants to start a fight that has nothing to do with the subject of living a happy life.

Sorry, Mary, I've met my personal quota on derailing threads for the day. Maybe we can keep a little closer to the subject at hand and you can learn something about living a happy life.

You think you have the same fate as a dog?

Funny way of putting it, because that is true. Like my dog of 15 years that recently died, p66 will also die.

Those in Christ will never die.

 

[The Horn]

Living a "happy" life,ie ,one where everything is always hunky dory,is absolutely impossible. It's inevitable that life will consist of bad breaks,rejections,set-backs, difficulties with living with your friends,family and relatives etc. This is a totally unrealistic goal.
And if you go through life with unrealistic goals and expectations, you are virtually guaranteeing unhappiness for yourself.
The best you can do is to take things in stride and always try to do the best you can in any given difficult situation, ask freinds or family for help, and pray, that is,if you believe in God.
Try to enjoy life whenever you can with recreation,reading, listening to music, or whatever things you enjoy doing.
Also, try to live a life of moderation. Avoid going to extremes in what you do, whether,eating,drinking consuming alcohol etc.
Going to extremes is always very dangerous. If you overeat,you threaten your health. But the same is true if you eat too little.
It's fine to consume alcohol as long as you do it moderately. Drink too much and it can ruin your life.
Eat a sensible,moderate diet. You can eat sweets in moderation; but if you are binging on them all the time, that's very bad.
Be moderate in religion. Yes,attend church or synagogue or mosque, etc, pray and get involved in church activities and projects.
But when you become fanatical and intolerant in your religious beliefs, and want to impose YOUR beliefs and social agenda on others, that's very bad.
The Buddha,Lao Tzu and other Asian philosophers and teachers always emphasized the importance of moderation, or "The Middle Road", as they called it.

 

[Aimiel]

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

 

[Aimiel]

A 'happy' life isn't things: food, clothing or even shelter or security. Happiness is a choice. I choose to be happy.

The pathetic thing about it is, there are those who fear to know God believe they will hate Him. While for those in Christ, have awe in God’s greatness and fear not to have faith in Christ that God desires to love us. Those who deny God fear His reality will consume their own, while those you trust in God believe in Christ and choose freely to live for Him.

The person who fears to know God and salvation through Christ’s work on the cross would rather live like an animal (die like a dog) because, for them, faith is impossible, for they fear loss of control of their life. They take the short view, while the faithful take the long view.
