Nonsense. As usual, you've got nothing but worthless claims.
Ironic post of the month nominee

So you believe in Satan but not in God? Interesting...
That's not even close to what I wrote.

Says the guy who believes that the bible is true because the bible is true.
I've already crossed over unto eternal life (John 5:24).
So get a new dog.
When did you die?
The secret is already being born again.
What have you got going after you expire?
Yet no one wants to die...and there's a reason for that...we are created with that desire...
"He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has even put eternity in their heart; yet mankind will never find out the work that the true God has made from start to finish." Eccl. 3:11

"He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has even put eternity in their heart; yet mankind will never find out the work that the true God has made from start to finish." Eccl. 3:11
everything beautiful in its time: At the time of good, it is beautiful that the reward be given for good deeds, and at the time of evil, it is fitting for the recompense for evil deeds.
also the world He put in their hearts, etc.: Also the wisdom of the world that He put into the hearts of the creatures-He did not put it all into the heart of everyone, but [He gave] a little to this one and a little to that one, in order that man should not comprehend the entire deed of the Holy One, blessed be He, to know it; and he will not know the day of his visitation [i.e., the day of his death] and on what he will stumble, in order that he put his heart to repent, so that he will be concerned and say, “Today or tomorrow I will die.” Therefore, הָעֹלָם is written here defectively, an expression of concealment (הַעֲלָמָה) , for if man would know that the day of his death was near, he would neither build a house nor plant a vineyard. Therefore, he says that He made everything beautiful in its time. The fact that there is a time for death is a beautiful thing, for a person relies and says, “Perhaps the time of my death is far off,” and he builds a house and plants a vineyard, and it is [therefore] beautiful that it is concealed from people.
All living things, in general, "desire" to stay alive. It is not unique to human kind. And there are lots of desires in our hearts that we don't get.
That's a horrible translation. A better translations is 'He has made everything beautiful in its time; also the [wisdom of] the world He put into their hearts, save that man should not find the deed which God did, from beginning to end."
This is Rambam's commentary on that passage
Sorry, Rambam is not trustworthy...his commentary is worthless...there are several translations that render the passage as "eternity"...American Standard Version, Amplified Bible, Common English, New International Version, New Living Translation, just to name a few...there are more...
Well, they are wrong. I would trust someone a rabbi to know the proper translation. And anyone who uses the New Living Translation can't be trusted.
What is wrong with it? Too accurate for you?
New Living Translation NLT
Using modern English, the translators of the NLT focused on producing clarity in the meaning of the text rather than creating a literal, word-for-word equivalence. Their goal was to create a clear, readable translation while remaining faithful to original texts.

Well, I much prefer the Masoric text> Give me a Jewish translation from post 1950 anyway. The New JPS translation or the Judaica Press
Of course you do because you are biased...

And you are not? All you do is spout out the JW party line and cherry pick Bible quotes. Have you made any burnt offerings to God, as the Bible clearly states that you must literally do? The instructions are quite specific. The aroma pleases God, you know.

Keep spouting your ridiculous posts for everyone to see...SMH...you nor your buds have any idea what Christianity is all about, though by your constant presence on threads such as this, you appear to be searching...I pray you'll find out one day for your own sakes...Paul did so there's hope yet...
What is Christianity all about? Different sects have different views about that. No need to pray, it has no effect. He is nit searching, he is pointing out the illogicality of religion and in particular how all Christians ignore large parts of the bible.
You should know by now, since you too are on every religious thread here...oh wait...nevermind...:2brickwal
