    Belief in God and Market Perspective

    For someone that doesn't believe in the existence of God you have unwavering beliefs in good and evil. How ironic that these beliefs are so strong about God Himself (or the concept of God, if that is how you would put it). You can't have it both ways. If God does not exist then what I...

    Belief in God and Market Perspective

    I guess I know where you're coming from. Perhaps we can see better where the Father is coming from in this. The Father is not evil. If He was this is what would happen. He would delight in torture. The torture of every human in this life and forever after. There would be no reason to...

    Belief in God and Market Perspective

    If you were out in public and a crazy person came at you with a knife, and another man came immediately to your aid and stopped this crazy at great risk to his own life, I know most people would be thankful. This stranger helped when he could have just run away. Seriously, maybe you would...

    Why just there are NOT many female traders?

    I'm not as interested in this subject as others are but I'm not doing anything now either. I did come across this stating that only 1 in 100 chess grandmasters are women. (I used to play chess.) This article makes no sense to me except for the 1 in 100 part...

    I've been going back over a number of posts that I didn't respond to over the previous week. There were a number of topics. You wrote: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As an aside, but much more importantly, is there "existence after...

    Belief in God and Market Perspective

    Since you said: There can be no claims before the Big Bang because all evidence prior to it would have been destroyed. It seems then, science SHOULD be saying: "WE CAN'T KNOW." Science can't know why the universe came into being. But how many scientists will say maybe, just...

    Belief in God and Market Perspective

    The existence of God can not be proven. Because of this, for many, they stop before they even start.

    Belief in God and Market Perspective

    Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=50&chapter=14&version=31&context=chapter I think 'faith' and 'knowing' have gotten some confused on this board. Some seem to think, if I'm...

    Belief in God and Market Perspective

    I heard a number of years ago (I'm sure this is common) that my friend's Dad believed that if he did more good than bad he was going to Heaven. This is not the way it is. No one can make up for a single sin. It only takes one sin to be guilty enough to be sent to Hell. The Father will...

    Belief in God and Market Perspective

    God is not a created being. God is the creator. The standard Big Bang view is that the universe created itself for no known reason. One has to remember what is being said here if you are thinking about what is called the Big Bang. Before the Big Bang there was no empty space...

    Belief in God and Market Perspective

    Hitler tried to kill every Jew. In the end Israel became a nation again after not being one for about 1875 years. God, is a superior form of life, so to speak. The Father can do whatever He wants. He does desire to save a minority of people from Hell. Since I don't know if there are any...

    Belief in God and Market Perspective

    If it's God's will for a Christian to pray, for God to have mercy on someone else, that is God's will. There are many examples in the Bible of course. To put it another way, if asking for help from God is God's will, then that is God's will. -Stephen

    Belief in God and Market Perspective

    There is nothing wrong with a Chrisitian praying to be a better trader, if God has called him/her to trading. In this forum people will complain strongly if you say you do even this. One has to expect it here...

    Belief in God and Market Perspective

    Back to C.S. Lewis. It makes sense. He was a genius while I'm not. But since your patient has contracted the terrible habit of obedience, he will probably continue such "crude" prayers whatever you do. But you can worry him with the haunting suspicion that the practice is absurd and can...
