Absolutely. I understand it seems very remote at the moment, but the penalty for sheparding people into Hell will be severe. And severe, is just a shallow human word to describe what is actually coming.
Last night I watched on TV an interview with Eric Kandel MD, a noted brain researcher via Harvard and Columbia, about 90 years old, and a Nobel Laureate. His family and wife’s family had to flee Europe. When asked about his religion he said he loved being a Jew, came from a practicing family, attended services a few times a year, holy days...When pressed if he believed in God, he got quite vague. He liked the customs, traditions and the “chanting,” especially the chanting, but God wasn’t so important, if he even existed. The Rabbi asking the questions gave him a big thumbs up. La’Chaim!
When does Harvard get an animalist chaplain? Or a plantist chaplain?
Looks like they could be sued for species-ism.
I have heard of people like that but don’t understand them. Of course, there are cultural Christians too, even though that isn’t exactly the same thing. If I ever became an atheist, I would also dispense with the Christian hymns and rituals and holidays too, just out of honesty to myself.
Then again, they called Obama a "professor".
And he is also the author of “Good Without God,” a statement that is one of the most common lies believed today in wealthy nations.
“Epstein authored a book in 2010 called Good Without God: What A Billion Nonreligious People Do Believe.”
But it is impossible to truly be good without God. He is the giver of every good thing, and take away every good thing, as He has done in Hell, and then one can see how “good” people are and will be there. People can only use the good things that God has given them, and nothing more. It is possible while here to do some partly good things, but they are always tainted with every manner of sin and deception, chief among them pride and the sense of not needing God, if not feeling oneself superior to Him and qualified to judge Him.
The good things that He gives us are only meant to be a beginning, a taste of what we should be and should seek to be, which will then lead us to see our inadequacy to do all good, all the time, as well as our own constant shortcomings - sinfulness - and so our need for His forgiveness and to depend on Him to make us more like His Son in holiness.
It is sadly possible, though, to just see the good things that He’s entrusted to us as a reflection of our own goodness, and be self-satisfied, while not seeing all the evil we naturally do. That’s a Satanic deception, the “good without God” deception. I hope this man is open to the truth before it’s too late.
Harvard College Lawes of 1642
[from New England's First Fruits]
1. When any Schollar is able to Read Tully or such like classicall Latine Author ex tempore, and make and speake true Latin in verse and prose suo (ut aiunt) Marte, and decline perfectly the paradigmes of Nounes and verbes in the Greeke tongue, then may hee bee admitted into the College, nor shall any claime admission before such qualifications. [like modern SAT scores, such a requirement indicated the level of education one had received, and achieved. This served a practical purposes of course, as copies of Scripture and other classics were also still mostly in Greek.]
2. Every one shall consider the mayne End of his life and studyes, to know God and Jesus Christ which is Eternall life. Joh. 17.3. [Today, personal as well as intellectual ignorance of the Biblical Christ abounds among Harvard students.]
3. Seeing the Lord giveth wisdome, every one shall seriously by prayer in secret, seeke wisdome of him. prov. 2.2,3 etc. [Instead, Harvard today militates against such Biblical wisdom , and peity. Today, if any activity is done "in secret," it is fornication (1 out 4 women have an STD).
4. Every one shall so exercise himselfe in reading the Scriptures twice a day that they bee ready to give an account of their proficiency therein, both in theoreticall observations of Language and Logicke, and in practicall and spirituall truthes as their tutor shall require according to their severall abilities respectively, seeing the Entrance of the word giveth light etc. psal. 119, 130. [The goal here was to produce "able ministers of the New Testament" (2Cor. 3:6), "rightly dividing the word of truth" (2Tim. 2:15). Today, the Bible is almost wholly abandoned as the literal and authoritative Word of God, and the very deceptions Harvard was founded to prevent abound therein!]
5. In the publicke Church assembly they shall carefully shunne all gestures that shew any contempt or neglect of Gods ordinances and bee ready to give an account to their tutors of their profiting and to use the helpes of Storing themselves with knowledge, as their tutours shall direct them, and all Sophisters and Bachellors (until themselves make common place) shall publiquely repeate Sermons in the Hall whenver they are called forth. [Rather than this being the goal of Harvard, the inculcation of unBibical worldviews is fostered, and rare is the professor who would dare declare the Biblical gospel and morality, or the student who could or would do likewise.]
6. they shall eschew all prophanation of Gods holy name, attributes, word, ordinances, and times of worship, and study with Reverence and love carefully to reteine God and his truth in their minds. [This is of little to no concern in Harvard today, rather the "faith once delivered" (Jude v.3) is little esteemed, and if one comes into Harvard with such faith, he will be sorely challanged to keep it! Sports, college parties, etc., not Bible studies, are what students mostly flock to.]
7. they shall honour as their parents, Magistrates, Elders, tutours and aged persons, by beeing silent in their presence (except they bee called on to answer) not gainesaying shewing all those laudable expressions of honour and Reverence in their presence, that are in uses as bowing before them standing uncovered or the like. [Rather than promoting reverence toward authority, Harvard has joined the bulk of other "Intititutions of Higher Learning" in fostering rebellion toward those who represent just authority, under the guise of protesting injustice, and in such protests reveal their own dearth of wisdom which usually comes with age.
8. they shall be slow to speake, and eschew not onely oathes, Lies, and uncertaine Rumours, but likewise all idle, foolish, bitter scoffing, frothy wanton words and offensive gestures. [Today, if one would dare uphold Bible truth and morality at Harvard, such as reproves the like of irreverend Peter Gomes [homosexual former head chaplain], he/she will see quickly how the above law has been abandonded].
Read later.
Is Epstein homosexual? I haven’t read article.
Say what? Did you intend to type that you are an idiot?
Atheist Chaplin.
