What sex language? It's the first time I hear this term.

Also something I noticed is that masturbating twice in itself gives you more potent orgasms . It also really depend on what you are masturbating to.

Detailed enough to not let any misunderstanding or lack of information remain.

I come from a Hindu background ,so I'm not well informed about Western Christianity. But I like to study various Kinds of religions and mystical traditions. Correct me if my understanding of Christianity and the Holy trinity is wrong ..... As I understand, from the Jewish and Muslim theological perspectives Christianity is not a monotheistic religion. Reason I: The Christian belief that God is more than one in person but one in being. Reason II: The Christian belief that God is part of the created class. That is, God (in Judaism and Islam) is “one” in the complete or absolute sense of the word. God is one (in person and in being). Furthermore, God is not (and cannot) ever be part of the created class (e.g., a man). Such beliefs are nonstarters for most orthodox Jewish and Muslim communities. The Jewish and Islamic beliefs concerning God are the opposite of Christianity. Belief I: God is one (in person and being). Belief II: God is not part of the created class (e.g., any member of the human class of beings). Therefore, Christianity is not seen as a monotheistic religion and it’s seen as an idolatrous (and pagan) religion. am I correct ?

When we make a choice about something significant we are basically choosing our values. where should a person look for their values. Is it all reason, is it emotion.? How do we choose what philosophy of life to subscribe to and even if none. How do we make our choices? I guess our choices depend alot on what we believe. I don't believe in much so it's hard for me to make choices. I like to believe in moral truths that are eternal. But sometimes I doubt that. Same as God. I want to believe in god but then I doubt. For me wether there's a god or not would make a big difference in how I make my choices. But I doubt everything at times and wonder if we are just floating through space aimlessly and without a purpose. If the universe is cold and doesn't care then I'm gonna make much different desicions then if their was an all loving god. I would like to hear how others make their desicions because I'm lost.

The major problem with Maslow's hierarchy-of-needs theory is that it cannot be tested empirically – there is no way to measure precisely how satisfied one level of need must be before the next higher need becomes operative.

@gettoefl sorry its hard for Me to understand your poetic style. Would you speak more clearly

So are you saying that the trinity is just a metaphor for God's shape-shifting ability? Or what is known that form is formlessness and formlessness is for?

And what is it ?

Well..most Christians will definitely disagree with you on that one.

I'm looking forward to your awakening new course. Maybe it will motivate me to buy your life purpose course. I'm willing to pay for both. BTW how is the new course going ?are you working on it lately? I'm very excited about it. I hope it gets released soon ?.

My relationship with the world is based on the unknown. I don't fully understand the world. Which in return give me fear . I want to achieve so many great things .I currently am producing music and working on a content of a YouTube channel (I'm not gonna share my YouTube channel here, ). But I have few audience so I can't build a career around that. I study philosophy in university. Again I can't make a good career with a philosophy degree . I don't have much experience with women .only experience is a quick blowjob from hooker here in Thailand. Besides that I always fail in trying to approach women . I have few friends online. And a few friends in real life . I experienced a great shame and guilt from my past but I'm in the process of recovering.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I will try to present counter arguments and questions concerning is Jesus God himself in a man image or just the son of God. From a quick Wikipedia research I found verses in the bible where Jesus clearly states that he is not God himself but rather only the son of God. Nearly all Christians believe Jesus is God. That is what the institutional church has always taught. Christians professedly rely strongly on the Bible for this belief. Yet there is not a single Bible verse which states unequivocally, “Jesus is God,” or the like. Moreover, the New Testament gospels have no statement by Jesus in which he identifies himself as God. In fact, there are many Bible verses which indicate Jesus cannot be God by declaring that only the Father is God or by distinguishing Jesus from God. First, and foremost, is one of Jesus’ sayings recorded only in the Gospel of John. The setting is the Last Supper, right before he was arrested and crucified. He prayed for his disciples, saying, “Father,… This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent” (John 17.3). So, Jesus tells the Father that he is “the only true God” and then distinguishes himself from that one God. Both of these points clearly indicate that Jesus himself cannot also be God. Two other times Jesus identified the Father as the only God. Earlier, he told his Jewish opponents that the Father is “the one and only God” (John 5.44). And again, at the Last Supper, Jesus distinguished himself from this one and only God by commanding his disciples, “believe in God, believe also in Me” (14.1). The other two passages which irrefutably establish that only the Father is God and distinguish Jesus from God are in Paul’s letters. He writes to the church at Corinth, “There is no God but one…. yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him” (1 Corinthians 8.4, 6). Here, Paul clearly declares that for Christians there is one God, who is the Father, and there is no other God, so that Jesus is not God.

@zurew Do you think that rather than there being advances in knowledge and understanding that human beings have lost the intuitive grasp of understanding? I know that certain individuals in ancient times were able to think in an extremely sophisticated way, but the majority of the people may not have been able to access education in the way that people can today. But, there is the question as to what extent philosophical understanding is progressing or going backwards? Or, perhaps it is just that people answer and think about the recurrent questions in different historical and cultural contexts. However, the juxtaposition between rationality or intuition is interesting because it is more common to compare rationality with emotive perspectives.

@Adamq8 Also to a christian, God had to take human form to understand temptation and human suffering, but the concept is not based on any clear words of Jesus. In contrast, God does not need to be tempted and suffer in order to be able to understand and forgive man’s sins, for He is the all knowing Creator of man. God forgave sin before Jesus appearance, and He continues to forgive without any assistance. When a believer sins, he may come before God in sincere repentance to receive forgiveness. Indeed, the offer to humble oneself before God and be saved is made to all humankind.

Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God. Many times in the Bible Jesus’s followers and other witnessing his deeds exclaimed in Jesus’s presence that he was the Son of God. Christians do not believe that Jesus was the offspring of relations between Mary and God. Christians believe that Jesus was God who became man. In this he is both Son of God, and Son of Man. I'm just confused about who Jesus was exactly. Was he God himself or the son of God? Because Christians believe two contradicting things about him .

@Blackhawk I agree that it's either God or a multiverse. modern cosmology force us to choose. Is it the case that the apparent fine-tuning of constants and forces to make the universe just right for life means there is either a need for a "tuner" or else a cosmos in which every possible variation of these constants and forces exists somewhere? If you don't want God, you'd better have a multiverse. Even strongly atheistic physicists seem to believe the choice is unavoidable. Steven Weinberg, the closest physics comes to a Richard Dawkins, told the eminent biologist: "If you discovered a really impressive fine-tuning ... I think you'd really be left with only two explanations: a benevolent designer or a multiverse." I decided that the idea of a creator God is much easier to digest than an endless multiverse.

I'm trying to gather a consensus of how people here feel after they masturbate. as I'm trying to figure out the perfect sexual life for me For males specially. But women are welcome to voice their opinion too. The poll is anonymous .Also pls comment about how you feel right after masturbation.

All Christians believe there are trinity, one God in three persons, being the same substance, but there is also the “Paraclete”, literally “the comforter”, who is in early christianity identified with the Holy Ghost, but later also called “a gift of the Holy Ghost” or “another Jesus” (the earthly presence of Jesus) The paraclete is a rather confusing concept. The Catholics (both Roman and Greek) are worshipping Mary as the mother of God, and prayers go regularly to Mary . She could not be more prominent in the adoration. Protestants however give no place to Mary. mainly because they are horrified by the Catholic view, which is in their eyes contrary to the Ten Commandments: (you shall make no images nor bow for them or serve them). Nevertheless Catholics reject these critics. So there you have got 5 deities. Then comes a large quantity of saints, who are prayed to and who are supposed to perform guardance and miracles, each in their own field. So the christian pantheon is actually as filled as the ancient Greek, and looks more like hinduism, with a lot of minor gods. Many scientists argue, that the concept of a Father God, a son God, and a Mother of God reminds too much to the Egyptian Isis - Horus - Osiris worship to be a coincidence

Again that's a new agey esoteric interpretation of the trinity which is not taken seriously by orthodox Christianity. They take the trinity literally. That God is divided into three parts. Which makes Christianity not a monotheistic religion . First lets define monotnotheism. It is to believe and worship only one god which is the only one who deserves to be worshiped. Lets try this definition in islam ,Judaism and Christianity Islam believe and worship only one god which is allah So islam is a monotheistic religion Judaism believe and worship only one god they called him yahwah and he is the same god in islam but with different name maybe because of the diffrence in languages between the quran and the torah .but what is certain is that he is the same god So Judaism is monotheistic also Christianity believe and worship three characters One of them is a human prophet called jesus and he is unquestionably not Divine but Christians worship him The second is the holy spirit (angel Gabriel) and he is an angel not divine but Christians worship him and there are other sects who worship mary mother of jesus instead of holy spirit and of course both of them is without doubt not divine The third they called him God with big G letter which is the same god of islam and Judaism ..despite that he is the only one deserves to worshiped but Christians prefer to create this mess and worship the three characters at once and try to convince people that 1+1+1=1 which is tottaly nonsense Conclusion:Christianity is not monotheistic but rather polytheistic

Be honest about your answers. Also try to elaborate why you picked what you picked as an answer

Most people seem to think a dictatorship is horrible. They seem to view it as one of the worst forms of government. Why? What is inherently wrong with a dictatorship? It's funny that most people think a dictatorship is inherently evil, but that is the form of government of the Christian God and the government of choice of the bible. Dictatorships are not inherently wrong, it is merely the fact that there has never been a single human being who could hold the office and not become corrupt due to human nature. It's not really a good idea to have one person making all the decisions without any advisement and second opinions, but it doesn't make it evil. It's human nature that makes the position of dictatorship bad.

You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a different one, each day brings a miracle of its own. It's just a matter of paying attention to this miracle. You can hope for a miracle in your life, or you realize that your life is the miracle. When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another. Open your eyes, mind and heart to the astonishing miracles of life, to the beauty surrounding you, to the uniqueness of your being, to the wonders you can achieve. Stop taking life for granted. Its literally the most amazing miracle ever .make the most out of each day . Have a nice day everyone ?

Yup

Aren't you aware of the big bang ? The universe does have a beginning and this is an unquestionable fact today. We know it all started 14 billion years ago . As for the multiverse theories. It doesn't “explain” why the initial conditions that prevailed at the Big Bang origin of our universe, and the physical constants and laws which shaped its subsequent evolution, appear so exquisitely fine-tuned to allow for the possibility of life. The idea is that there’s nothing particularly special about our universe: it is simply one of a (possibly infinite) number of universes, all with different initial conditions, constants, and laws. Most will be inhospitable, but it should come as no surprise to find ourselves in a universe which isn’t. Multiverse theory is still just a hypothesis. Not a scientific fact.
