You folks at YT headquarters are doing a great job by deleting my non offensive comments while allowing other users to send me death threats on my own vids of my cats and dog being cute.

The only person who will always help them is Allah. Has Allah disappeared by denying Allah? . Allah believes, prays and Allah You see your servants, you reach them when they need them and you give them what they want. The religion is Islam. Allah exists and is one. He has infinite power.

    Daniel was written in 164 bce, not "600 BCE". And No, the text doesn't say "the messiah will enter Jerusalem in exactly X amount of days", that adds up to 30 AD, the math actually brings us to 164 BCE, as ONIAS was the "Christ" that this so-called Daniel was writing about because the text back-dated itself to make a prophecy about Onias sound like a prediction, and then Christians in the late first century just applied this text to Jesus. That was so painful.

    I think the comment about the glasses was him trying to say that if your eyes were clouded you wouldn't see it. HOWEVER, you are correct.
    If God is _whispering_ to someone who he knows is hard of hearing, then it's not a revelation.
    If he holds up a flash card to a blind man, that's not a revelation.
    If he's omnipotent and omniscient, then it only counts as a revelation if he reveals himself in a way that he knows will actually _WORK._

    The problem is that whether we believe it or not whether we want it to be or not, we are involuntarily participats in an evolutionary process. Which only means change over time. If the words cannot be changed or the expectation cannot be changed it comes in direct conflict with this process of nature that we have no control over. Even in a split second of time we have changed our position from that last increament of time. Probability of outcome playes a more significant role in shaping our perspective of reality then hard driven wote down non chargeable expectations of human conditioning. That's why laws that applied previously that we all agreed to follow have become irrelevant in today's society, so laws governing constantly change due to new realizations in the evolutionary process.

    Lol I haven't gotten far yet just at the beginning. . . but I want to say now. If someone said they had gold, and wanted me to help them dig for it, and they were telling the truth. I'd just ask for the payment up front for my digging services. There would be a value on our contract, 50% disbursed up front, the rest dispersed over a predetermined amount of time. whether there is gold or not I need to get paid
