please, not this fucking shit again

So... thinking individuals can't possibly believe God himself really wrote the Bible. Damn Christians can't see it. God supposedly never changes... yet he commands us "thou shalt not kill" in Exodus and the rest of the Bible is FULL of killing.

Things that make you go "hmmm".

Spunky... you must not get the point. If you ever want to have a chance to prove a religious person wrong you have to give them proof. They'll only believe the Bible itself. I can give you a ton of verses from the Bible that show how ridiculous the Bible is...

Prove it wrong by using it's own words.

Spunky:

I used to live in Tyler. Is it still a dry county?

(Thank the religious folks for that).

i'm really feelin' this DEEP shit.... preach on!

Christians?

Funny, every statement you point out is from the Torah.

You need to be smack talking the Jews. You anti-semite piece of shit.

:winkwink:

Yes it is. And my mom still owns a bar here. And I live next to a church and make my living from porn.

And I'm an atheist. I love guns. I didnt vote for Bush, and I think if Clinton wants a blowjob, women should line up and give him one. Fuck the muslims, I'm antisocial, and if Pteam wants to drive a blue lamborghini, well more power to him.

oh really??? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:pimp:error

:1orglaugh

Anyone that takes the OT as gospel (pun unavoidable) has some serious issues. Anyone that slams Christianity because of stories in the OT has the same issues.

Still confused on where Noah stored the termites on the Ark. :helpme

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

See, this is exactly what I was talking about. Noah can only bring two of all that he is aware of and as there are still creatures out there that have yet to be discovered . . .

ADG

There is no god or Jesus or anything like that, its all a myth so the christian leaders can scam money from everyone

I pretty much agree with that.

Imagine how many hospitals we could run from all the waste that goes into church buildings.

No Jesus? Pretty sure his existence has been proven to be true.

Indeed it has.

Just because a guy walked around and called himself son of god foesnt mean its true, Theres hundreds of people now that walk around calling them selves god or son of god.

And how has it exactly been proven.. because of scriptures and books and pictures. Theres pictures and books on Santa Claus, does he really exist.

Got a link to a citation that isn't just hearsay? You know, evidence? Historical document?

Anything?

There is more evidence for the existence of Jesus than evidence for the existence of Julius Caesar. Baddog didn't make any statements about the claims made about Jesus, just his existence.

So is the statement that God is a vengeful bastard or that God of the Old Testament is a fiction?

Many would have an issue with YHWH's traits and character portrayed in the Old testament.

Roman Census for the time, completely non religious. Jesus did exist, and was crucified, everything about God / miricles / whatever not withstanding, he was real.

Considering the fact that your father was a Pentecostal minister and you went through a healthy period of doubt, it makes perfect sense you would post this thread.

While it is easy to answer the questions raised by these instances in the Bible with the assertion that G-d is an arbitrary, angry, vengeful bully. Another approach would be to ask if God can murder people. He can't. If you believe he IS the Creator, then he can't murder. He is just taking back his creations/his property due to the choices they, out of free will, made.

If I create something and let you borrow it, if I retake it, I still own it and can do whatever with it. I can't be accused of stealing my own property.

The Earth is not perfect. Adam's fall made sure of that. However, the good news is that people always have a choice if they would accept Grace into their lives and become new creatures and free from the penalty of Sin. The same acceptance also gives them the power, through again Grace, to be free from the POWER of Sin.

Just my beliefs, bros. Not forcing it on anyone :)

Proof that Jesus is The Sun, the light of the world

Indeed, you're right. He migrates annually to the Niagara region every growing season to pick grapes for minimum wage to support his family of 14 back in Mehico.

You do realize a simple google search shows much of that video was completely incorrect, right? They get most of the stories wrong, not just the parts about Christianity.

100% of Christians won't roll over, they try their hardest to fight the information in the video, but it's a powerful video.

I'm not saying there is no God, I wouldn't know that, but organized religion is clearly about control

I'm not even referring to that. I am talking about simple accuracy. Even the Wikipedia article about the film talks about the outright inaccuracies. They totally get ancient myths wrong, etc.

The #1 reason I believe that Jesus is who He said He is:

In the Gospel of John we read that the apostle Thomas would not believe that Jesus was resurrected from the dead. He said that he would not believe unless he could see the wounds in Jesus hands and put his fingers into the wound in His side. According to John, one week later it happened. The resurrected Jesus appeared to all the disciples, and Thomas was able to touch the healed wounds for himself, and he exclaimed "My Lord and my God!" (Jn. 20:24)

Ok... just another wild Bible story, right?

Yes, BUTTTT.......

According to verifiable sources OUTSIDE the Bible -- Over the next 30-50 years, Thomas traveled longer and further than any other disciple spreading the message of a Risen Savior. And he was eventually martyred in India (speared several times and thrown alive into an oven).

These accomplishments are well documented outside the Bible by Christian and non-Christian sources.

So why would a man who (at first) did NOT believe in a Risen Christ throw away his normal, comfortable life and willingly submit himself to persecution, punishment, torture, and death if he knew that Jesus was a fake or that His claims were fraudulent?

As $5 Submissions said... this is just my own view. Not suggesting anyone else has to agree with it. I've tried to disprove the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus many times, but there are way too many extra-Biblical sources that endorse its veracity.

is being a fake ass god pusher not working out for ya, donny?

Religion was invented when the first con man met the first fool.

It's been going on 6 years. That would be a long time to pretend to believe something I don't believe, don't you think?

Once a person with a basic Christian understanding is pointed in the right direction i.e. Jesus is the Sun, there's enough information available for them to see what's been done.

I went to Catholic school, I spent a lot of time studying the bible, so all I needed was to be told that Jesus is the Sun, then I could easily apply the test with my biblical knowledge.

Jesus (the Sun) turns water into wine, that's the rain that falls on grapes to make them grow. Jesus/Sun feeds the 5000, by making food grow. Easter is when light has defeated dark (more light than dark) the Sun/Jesus has been resurrected. Jesus/The Sun walking on water, that's the Sun setting over the sea or a lake. "I am the light of the world that every eye will see." The sun wears a corona, "crown of thorns" or halo, just as Jesus. etc etc etc I could go on all day with examples.

Jesus is a Sun God, unless this is all a coincidence of lottery winning probability

Or, parables that people are easily able to understand are used. Just about every lesson Jesus taught came in the form of parables. The prodigal son, good seed vs bad seed, etc etc. Also, when Paul came along to convert "Gentiles" he didn't even attempt to make them stop following their traditions... he simple told them he had new reasons for them to celebrate. Easter is a perfect example. It was pagan, Paul didn't want to take it away, so he told them the meaning should change. I have no problem with that.

must be some reason why you want to post here again. some people go their whole lives believing what they know deep down is a lie.

If they drew up a Christian spin on pagan Easter, to say that Jesus was resurrected instead of the Sun resurrected, and we accept that. It becomes difficult to believe much more, because it all always ties in so nicely with Jesus being the Sun.

Actually as Christians you should follow the teachings of Christ not the old testament. The new testament is the actual word of god and the old testament are fairy tales[ I was taught that by a priest) But its hard to judge others when your only commandment is love one another as I loved you. The Christians would have waaay too much free time if they only did that. lol
