Philosophy 201 Guidelines
Cogito ergo sum
Here in the Philosophy forum we will talk about all the "why" questions. We'll have conversations about the way in which philosophy and theology and religion interact with each other. Metaphysics, ontology, origins, truth? They're all fair game so jump right in and have some fun! But remember...play nice!

So, no, that's not what the Bible says.

Originally posted by JimL View PostActually, nobody said that, CP. The question was 'is simply thinking of committing a sin, a sin in itself. Sparko makes a logical point in his denial of that, but the bible in the words of Jesus contradicts him. To lust after a woman is itself a sin, i.e. to simply think about it is a sin.
So yes, the bible does say that, so knock it off!The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Tassman View PostYou are correct, it wouldn't. Your dream would come under the more general heading of sleep and dreaming. This functions as a sort of natural filing system, i.e. memory storage and elimination. Dreams may be bizarre but it seems that nature has its own way of associating ideas and patterns of thought. Here's a simple explanation:

No, the Bible doesn't say that, and I don't take orders from idiots.Last edited by JimL; 08-05-2019, 07:26 AM.
