But this is totally bs. The whole entitlement mentality, is a burden on the US and is killing this economy. Poor people think the world owes them something, and they have done nothing and added no value to society and just continue to leach off the system. Employees are the same way, they think after 4-6 months automatic raises should be given, allot of them just milk the clock and do nothing. Thats why I fire employees as fast as I can, cause its sickening to see. People need to return to quaker roots, when men were men, and when a days labor honest was just that, hard work. Not this pansying around all day, milking the clock. People need to get a backbone and some integrity in their body!

]]> Comment on Einstein Proves the Existence of God! by MARK KIEFFER http://brendanmcphillips.com/2007/09/23/einstein-proves-the-existence-of-god/#comment-273 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 05:02:53 +0000 http://www.brendanmcphillips.com/einstein-proves-the-existence-of-god#comment-273 Yes I have seen God. Yes I have talked to God. Yes God is a person. Yes God was a Human at one time. Yes God is a Spirit. Yes he is Jesus Christ. Let me tell you something and you better listen good because the eternity of your soul depends on this.

God loves all mankind. He desires that we all go to heaven when we die. Yes you have a soul. That is the real you. Your soul lives inside your body and it possesses all knowledge in spiritual form that your brain possesses but much more that your brain cannot easily access. Your soul is eternal. It will never die. After it leaves your body it is still completely conscious but extremely more conscious in many ways. It still has all 5+ senses but to a much greater degree because it is not working through material anymore.

We are judged by God and his judgement are perfect. He judges by a higher standard than most know. Many people think they will make it to heaven because they are a good person. They are wrong. No one is good enough to pass the test of Gods’ standards. We are all evil to a certain degree. Have you ever lied? Stolen? Lusted? Said Gods name in vain? Dishonored your parents? etc. Look up the TEN COMMANDMENTS.

The required payment for sinners is eternity in hell. Hell is real. It is terrible. Look up “33 Minutes in Hell” Your soul will litterally burn at close to 2000 degrees and you will be able to feel it.

There is only one way to escape it. God loved us so much that he sent himself down in the form of a son and he was born of a virgin named Mary. He died on the cross as a payment to pay for all mans sins. It is a free gift. but it requires faith and acceptance.

If the Holy Spirit has convicted your heart of this truth as you are reading this then say a prayer to God right now. Say this. Jesus I believe you are really God. I believe I am a sinner and deserve to go to hell. I accept your free gift payment for my sin so I do not have to suffer for my evil deeds. Please forgive me and teach me your ways. I want you to be my God and I will be your child. Make me to be born again and give me your Holy Spirit to live in me and guide me for the rest of my life.

Now go to http://www.warriorsforjesuschrist.com and learn to follow Jesus.

]]> Comment on Christianity and Taoism: The Similarities by Michael http://brendanmcphillips.com/2007/09/24/christianity-and-taoism-the-similarities/#comment-271 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 00:35:56 +0000 http://www.brendanmcphillips.com/christianity-and-taoism-the-similarities#comment-271 Eric,

Maybe Taoist were Christ practitioners! I am and have been a disciple of Christ since I was ten. I have read the I Ching and too was fascinated by the similarities. But what this has done for me is to show that God is the God of all people, if you seek Him you will find Him even if you never heard of the God of the Bible. Read the first chapter of Romans. But now for the big danger, that is to exchange the Perfect for the less “perfect” just because it suits you. I know how many that call themselves “Christians” have polluted Christ’s message, but that is no reason not to seek Him for yourself. First and probably the hardest thing to do is be completely honest with yourself and God and seek the real God and not just something that makes us feel good. You must decide was He a lunatic, liar or Lord! If He was a Lunatic or liar then you need not bother, but if He is Lord that there is nothing more important than to seek Him.

What does it mean if you cannot understand the implications that you make that start a downward spiral?

The first thing that popped into my pea brain when reading it was, “Ok he’s thanking everyone in a way that looks like he isn’t one of ‘those brave men and women who give a damn, do something, and make a difference.’ So what has he done?” So Jim Romanucci, where do you stand? Are you one of those brave men making a difference? How!?

]]> Comment on What Happens in Heaven by Blonde and Bright http://brendanmcphillips.com/2007/09/24/what-happens-in-heaven/#comment-262 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 13:17:50 +0000 http://www.brendanmcphillips.com/what-happens-in-heaven#comment-262 I believe that Heaven is a place of perfection….beauty beyond our wildest dreams…every request is done…and more. We have Heaven to look forward to if we accept Jesus, let him do his will in our hearts and lives and ask for forgiveness…thanking him is important too. Nothing you have on earth is yours…it is only borrowed from God. For those evil ones that live lives of things we only dream about…I doubt that God loaned it. I think the word HELL is left out too much…there are consequencces of not accepting Jesus…who would risk going to hell? Someone stupid. That’s who. Listen, read your bible and find a spirit filled church even if online. Get rid of old sins…ask for forgiveness…God dismisses the old sins when asked…you might remember…he does not. ALL good things come from above. It is easy to go to the glorious lands of Heaven…but too many people make it hard. It’s not hard. JOHN 3:16

]]> Comment on How to Avoid Death by bongaan http://brendanmcphillips.com/2007/09/24/how-to-avoid-death/#comment-261 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 12:48:36 +0000 http://www.brendanmcphillips.com/how-to-avoid-death#comment-261 Your post unfortunately doesn’t make much sense. You can’t avoid death by having a realization. Having or getting a realization doesn’t change facts it only change the way you see the facts. If your real self lives on forever then everybody avoids death by default…the real question is rather how to avoid living forever!

Personally speaking I believe there is a creator but let us not be gullible and take it for granted that his motives are good to us. I believe that knowledge emancipates us and lightens us.
