I don't know. You can be artificially stimulated to feel happiness.

My point being if you were never sad, how would you know what happy was. What you are talking about is the absence of sadness. There is a difference between not being sad and being truly happy.

If anyone gets a chance and is willing or is looking for christ, Look into the Church of Christ non-denominational church.

see you keep going back to man today. god created the feeling of happiness and evil, why not just make us feel happy always? isn't that what heaven is?

No heaven is a different entity, according to Christianity. It starts to being things such as Grace and others into the equation, which is way to in depth for this discussion. See post 305.

why is the bible any more or less than dienetics? "God" didnt write it it was written by men claiming god spoke through them just as david koresh claimed.

you told me to read the bible and i haven't read it cover to cover but have studied each book in class

the answers to your questions are in it, although that doesnt make them true. you're right, the bible is stories written and passed down by man...but negating the fact that the Bible is a major player when it comes to culture, values, etc would be "asking the wrong quesitons."

I can't keep up with all these new rediculous posts. If you wanna chit chat PM me...I'm not a bleeding heart trying to convert anyone...you know that.

He is saying you can not know what happiness feels like without knowing what being sad feels like

i know what he is saying, but god could have made us feel happy or not feel sad. he had a blank canvas. he could've painted a tree, cat, subwoofer, light bulb, whatever. my point is he could've created man anyway he wanted too, why this way?

Are you saying the Church of Christ is no denominational?

i know what the bible says about it, but i'm questioning why god would do it that way.

no one will ever be able to answer the creation of god, the world and man, that's why we discuss and debate
