To serve God and keep his commandments. To spread the word
that Jesus Christ died for the sins of the world and through repentance
you can receive eternal life.

The good lord created us to do his bidding which is laid down in the bible. He wants us to walk in his light and spread the good news of the gospel. To become evangelists. To spread the news you don't have to be a church leader, you don't have to be a missionary, and you don't have to be on your church council. All it takes to be an evangelist is to spread the news. You could ask a co-worker to church with you or a buddy from school to youthgroup.
In my opinion it is being the best person you can be. BE accepting and put trust and faith in god. In him you find strength, peace, and love. Let him be a refuge and a guide. The best gift you can give yourself is trust in god, but no one else but you can give that to yourself. |

I'm with Clark. Define "meaning". Are you asking "What is the purpose of our existance?" or "Whats the point?" or "Why were we put here to begin with?"
All three could be different answers, different opinions. All three answers will change with time from any one person. Right now, my purpose in life is to get through my wedding, be a good husband, and continue to help drag the children in this county towards the 21st century, and out of a world where 'puters are just for solitare and typing a book report. The point is to one day look back on life and regret nothing, because I ended up in a pretty good place after all. I think we were put here on a bet by two cosmic powers, to see how (or how long it will take until) we'll do ourselves in. |

I think life has to do with realizing potential. I don't think life has any predestined purpose, but realizing potential seems to be the best meaning I can apply to it. It's the only thing in the natural world that we can individually seize control of and direct. Circumstances vary, but we can all still strive to be our best. -------------

No, because no other animal can really feel remorse or guilt. We are capable
of analyzing a situation and seeing what we did wrong. Retrospection is
unique to ourselves. |

Oh dear, you thought I was serious. I am now though. Your post is innaccurate. At least some other animals do know right from wrong...or more accurately are at least capable of learning it from man. Koko the gorilla (most famous of the gorillas who have been taught rudimentary sign language) for instance, not only knows what is good and bad behavior...she has been known to lie about things to try and get out of trouble. She also knows that lying is wrong because when caught she will compound the lie by saying she wouldn't do that. |

Dogs, as well, learn right from wrong. Say their name after they did something wrong, don’t even have to raise your voice, and their ears will go back and they KNOW they did something wrong… -------------

Dogs don't learn right and wrong, they learn what pisses you off and what NOT to do, and maybe a trick or 2 to get them a free snack.
other than that, they are an animal that is guided by instinct. The purpose of life is to have as much fun and happiness as possible, without impeding on anyone else's quest for happiness. We are put on Earth to enjoy what God has provided us with, and it's a test to see if we an enjoy that responsibly, without stepping on anyone's toes. |

Zesty, wouldnt learning what NOT to do, be essentially the same as learning the difference between right and wrong? For example. Learning to NOT pee on the carpet. That's what not to do, and to do so would be wrong. as opposed to: Learning to not rob a gas station. That's what not to do, and to do so would be wrong. Animals CAN learn the difference between right and wrong. If my dig does something stupid, and you yell at her for it, she'll roll onto her back and cover her nose with her paws. I would say that she knows what she did waw wrong. ------------- ? |

Dolphins can supposedly feel emotions. If you want to confirm or refute that, feel free. I was not discussin emotion persay, merely guilt and remorse, which are part of someones morale structures.
She was taught those behaviors. Her understanding of right and wrong is based purely on societies interpretation of morale values. Humans feel guilt when they hurt someone, or do some wrong, even if it is not strictly against the law. Koko the gorilla tells the truth because that is how she was trained, not because that is what she feels is right. |

Learning based on punishment is a very low level form of learning. I forget the scientific term, but humans, dogs, mice, koalas...all of them will avoid certain behaviors if subjected to punishment. Self preservation takes control. So, dogs can learn that peeing on the rug equals a smack. However, they will still not understand that it is wrong, just that when they do A, they recieve B. Similar to negative reinforcement. Edit: I think I basically agreed with you... |

Posted By: borntopaint
Date Posted: 14 June 2005 at 3:38pm
After the fall of man...First sin. The meaning was to serve God and keep his commandments. When it came down to only one family who did so, God sent the flood wiped the earth clean and promised the world he would never send a flood like that again (rainbow). Then the world became once again predominantly wicked and only Abraham served the Lord. God chose him and his descendants (Isrealites) as his people. From that point through to the time of Christ, Salvation came only to the Jews. Christ then died for all the sins of the world and salvation was open to the believing gentiles as well. The life of a Christian is to be devoted to living like Christ and spreading the Word. The Bible teaches that a person who Strives to live like Christ, recognizes he/she still sins and confesses those sins will be rewarded with eternal life in Heaven. You will never hear me say that only Christians will be welcomed into Heavan. I do believe that if you know what you have to do as laid out in the Bible (I will be happy to explain to anybody interested) and you do nothing about it than you won't recieve eternal life. I also believe that it is not my decision who will be welcomed into heavan or not. That decision lies only with the Lord. I will talk to anybody about this who is interested in knowing why this is the most important thing in my life. -------------
