Well then don't that will show me.Because I want to show what an arrogant, intellectually lazy, lying piece of shit you are.Why don't you show me the 'direct conflicts' and stop wasting your time trying to insult me?How can anyone accept your interpretation when you were in direct conflict with the verses?

I wouldn’t expect a dog to learn algebra. There are very specific requirements for intelligence such as possessed by humans to emerge. Let me know if you want me to explain them for you.Is it arrogance to believe humans are capable of learning everything?It is arrogance to think that w a human beings are capable of knowing everything.
Yes.
My dog will never learn how to perform simple algebra. What makes you think the people do not have a physical limitation in cognitive function that renders us incapable of learning the concepts needed to understand the universe?

The human mind is like a muscle in that the more we exercise it the “stronger” it gets.
In fact the central nervous system has increased in size in every mammal species. So we can extrapolate from that trend and project that that trend will continue.
Again, not even close to my understanding and I believe you are looking to confirm your bias. You can prove me wrong by showing me a positive explanation that you considered and the explain why you rejected it. This is what it means to test your notional beliefs. You literally need to take a position counter to your belief and genuinely test your belief to arrive at objective truth.We all have our biases.How do you know that is what that means?BTW, Christianity teaches religion is more important than family in Matthew 10:35, "For I have come to turn ‘A man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law".
I have an entirely different understanding of what that means. Is it possible that your understanding was chosen to confirm your bias? Is there no other possible understanding which is less insulting than concluding that religion -,which isn’t even what Christ is discussing - should be placed above family? Because if you cannot think of one single positive explanation for what this means then how did you test your belief?
This is a sentiment Jesus repeats several times and in his apocolyptic view of the world it makes perfect sense. Since the end times were coming soon, family and material goods were unimportant. Everyone should give all their money to the poor, leave their family, and follow him.
I just explained why our limits can increase. Now I will tell you that as new information is discovered our current capability is capable of processing it. So I see absolutely no reason why we can’t learn more.I wouldn’t expect a dog to learn algebra. There are very specific requirements for intelligence such as possessed by humans to emerge.

Just as a dog's brain is incapable of comprehending algebra, the human brain has its own limitations.
Our brain is a physical organ therefore it has physical limits.
As I said as smart as we think we are we only understand about 5% of the matter and energy that exists in the universe.
There is no evidence that we will ever be able to fully comprehend the nature of the universe.
We actually know a great deal about how the universe began. There is even an elegant equation that explains how space and time were created from nothing and then began to expand and cool.As I said as smart as we think we are we only understand about 5% of the matter and energy that exists in the universe.

I gave you my interpretation. What is yours? Please include the opposing explanation and why you rejected it.Again, not even close to my understanding and I believe you are looking to confirm your bias.

All that is theory based on our observations.We actually know a great deal about how the universe began.

Thanks for recommending these two articles. They were wonderful!All that is theory based on our observations.We actually know a great deal about how the universe began.

Knowing that we have no understanding of 95% of the matter and energy that the universe is made of it is arrogant to think we understand the origins of the universe
What's 96 Percent of the Universe Made Of? Astronomers Don't Know
Almost all of the universe — 96 percent — is invisible stuff called dark matter and dark energy. The new book "The 4 Percent Universe" by Richard Panek describes how this bizarre picture came to be.www.space.com
This Is What We Don’t Know About The Universe
In recent days I’ve had some interesting conversations. There’s a giddiness going around, related to an outpouring of science love – the kind you get from President Obama introducing TV science shows, the kind that has wonderful visuals, but is, well, a wee bit simplistic (a sin that none of us...
Right. You just said we can’t learn everything. I disagree.I just explained why our limits can increase.

I never said they can't increase I said there is a limit to how much they can increase.
Just because we may not have reached that limit does not mean there is no limit.
Limitations of human brain mean we may never understand the secrets of universe, says Britain's top scientist
Lord Rees says questions about the big bang and the existence of parallel universes may be never be resolved because of the built-in limitations of mankind.www.dailymail.co.uk
Incorrect. What you are talking about is what will happen to the universe.

Thank you for asking.I gave you my interpretation. What is yours? Please include the opposing explanation and why you rejected it.Again, not even close to my understanding and I believe you are looking to confirm your bias.

As for material possessions and earthly desires. We are free to pursue pleasure, wealth, power and fame but none of those things will satisfy us because we were made for more. There is nothing wrong with enjoying the fruits of our labor. The Bible is very clear on this. The issue is one of balance. Everything must be in balance. Do the right thing, the right way for the right reason. If one becomes out of balance he begins worshipping created things instead of the creator. That usually doesn’t end well. We do have an obligation to be stewards. We do have an obligation to be fair. We do have an obligation to treat others well. These things all sort themselves out if one is objective. The cornerstone of objectivity is humility. If one is humble he cannot help but be objective. If one is objective he cannot help but do the right thing, the right way for the right reason. Then, being a steward, treating others fairly, helping your fellow man comes naturally.I gave you my interpretation. What is yours?

You have a very positive interpretation of the Bible but I think you are essentially writing your own Bible. I've always thought of the Bible as a wonderful smorgasbord. Since everything is in it you can take out of it whatever you want. Of course when you do that you have to ignore the parts that contradict your interpretation.Thank you for asking.I gave you my interpretation. What is yours? Please include the opposing explanation and why you rejected it.Again, not even close to my understanding and I believe you are looking to confirm your bias.

I believe the message of Christ goes back to the account of Adam and Eve where their true crime was not disobeying God but failing to take accountability for disobeying God. That is the original sin. Rationalizing wrong as a right. We are all guilty of it. The sword Jesus brought was objective truth. He wants us to see everything as it really is, especially ourselves. The sword Jesus brought to us is objective truth. He was born into the world to testify to the truth. The conflict is subjectivity. Subjectivity is what keeps us from seeing reality. Subjectivity is what keeps us from transforming ourselves.
I have no objection to what you wrote, I just think you are putting your spin on what is actually there and thereby ignoring the original context.As for material possessions and earthly desires. We are free to pursue pleasure, wealth, power and fame but none of those things will satisfy us because we were made for more. There is nothing wrong with enjoying the fruits of our labor.
