Thread about Jesus - Questions, Bible Verses and Prayer Requests

[knowledgebones72]

I'm done with you, bruh. You live a life of sin, so don't dare tell anyone else who they are.


A Christian is someone who accepts the fact that Jesus Christ was a real person who sacrificed his own life to show the world what true humanity is, in turn attempting to be more like Christ and follow in his words and actions. All that other stuff is fairy tales and ghost stories.


You don't think that's a valid answer? Fine. Your opinion means nothing, because you are not the Christian you think you are. When me and you find ourselves in the exact same afterlife (which I have FAITH that we will), then maybe you can see the bigger picture.

And how do you know you are truly following God? Thou shalt not make a graven image of God is what God clearly says.
You claim you follow him, but without the Holy Spirit, its all self righteous works.
The reason your taking offense to this unnecessarily is because you know the truth, but you want to disprove me and troll.

It doesn't matter what you think. I speak to the Creator and he speaks to me.

God Bless ya.

God Bless you, brother.

I hope you get to really speak to Him. Because I KNOW that I am. I pity you.

You attacked me for asking you questions. My offense is not unnecessary. But now I understand why you had to resort to that.

How does God sound to you? Is it a disembodied voice or is it just something in your head?

Morgan Freeman?

OP no offense but you sound like a robot the way you're mouthing off scriptures and condemning people as inferiors without knowing a thing about their life experiences other than a difference in belief. You yourself admitted to be the biggest sinner you know, but now that you've copped out and "accepted christ" it's all erased and you're an angel walking on pure water?

I'm sure there are people who've sinned a lot less in life than you have, and did so without obsessing over and attempting to acquire brownie points from god, which you are obviously doing in order make up for your past. How about you live your life with a candid willingness to help others and be a better person instead of aspiring to rack up gold stars for the man upstairs in hopes of a fruitful judgment day given your past. If you say he's as all knowing and wise as he is, I'm certain he sees right through your selfish motive

The more you learn about history the more you see how ******* fake Christianity is. It's a religion that folks used to push their own agenda.

The fact y'all portray this middle eastern/African creature as a pale skinned blue eyed man is enough to know this book is just a tool for white supremacy

Christianity was never the problem. The problem is that men decree they are doing God's work when their motives are evil and sinful.

The problem is also that Satan so easily deceives all men into believing its all God doing it. 

The skin color of Christ doesn't matter a bit. We worship him in Spirit, not his images.

That's what I'm wondering. Is a revelation different per person, or can anyone interpret something as a revelation?

To me? It's a feeling. It's events in my life.

I'm a vegetarian because one night I prayed for my family and for my own future in NYC, and something inside of me told me I should stop eating meat. The next day I resolved to never eat meat again, and by the end of the day I got two calls for interviews out of the blue. I have yet to eat meat again, and I now have a full time job at a media company in SoHo, living my dream in my dream city at my dream job.

But, hey, OP knows how this whole thing works a lot better than I do.

So the Crusades had nothing to do with Christianity? It was just "evil men"?

 

[knowledgebones72]

BTW I'm not saying that if you don't eat meat, then you'll get a good job.

I'm saying that if you meditate, and look into yourself for what you can do honestly be a better person, and really try to stick to those things, then your behavior and outlook will change in a way that can affect other aspects of your life.

If God so loved the world why did he condemn his "son" to death?
He also asked Abraham to kill his son for Him.

That's a sick fetish. King James of England (not of Akron) should have had his scholarly monks redact that.

 

[mr marcus]

if his skin color didn't matter then he wouldn't be pale, blue eyes, and blonde hair in 95% of the churches

In no way do I think I'm better than anyone.

God is not impressed by my works in the flesh, neither is he impressed by anyone who comes to him off their own works.

I only have authority through Christ and that is why I aware you of your sins.

I do this because I care for all your souls whether I know you or not.

If I come off as superior then thats your problem,

even if I had all the power in the world I would be good as dead.

I have nothing to prove here, no battle to win.

All I come here to do is to spread the Gospel, so you may see beyond your temporary life.

If you take offense to that I can't help you.

Its the TRUTH.

Even in black churches

...Which is exactly why my black *** stopped going.

Just cuz its in the church doesn't mean its right with God.

Truth be told Europeans saw how the Romans quelled rebellion for the most part by marrying paganism into Christianity in their Empire that they incorporated that in their "mission".

There are motives behind the Crusade, that are not of God.

The Holy Spirit coming to you is the revelation.

The Truth and the fruits of the Spirit come with it.

Right...you're as selfless and blissfully pure in your intentions as one can be now that you've lived a life of sin and are scared of the future. Is christ paying you commission for this authoritative position of yours? Oh right that commission is a secure oceanview suite in heaven right?...what makes you think Christ has given a sinner like you authority to tell anyone how to live their lives given your dubious past? Just because you say you're a changed man and "accepted christ" does not make it the truth, nor does it mean you're caring for others after calling them sinners or implying that their after lives will not be as fruitful as what you think yours may be...in fact you're patronizing and attempting to upset them in doing so, it's very obvious. No one knows what is happening after death, and no matter how many books you've read or churches you've visited recently, neither do you...and THAT'S the truth.

But isnt the Pope the person twhom Jesus gave the keys of Heaven and the powers of "binding and loosing," naming him as the "rock" upon which the church would be built?

The Pope is part of Catholicism, not necessarily Christianity.

This thread for me a year or so ago...

Now I really can't be bothered. Where I would once pounce on such nonsense, It's gotten harder and harder for me to bring myself down to that level. I'm guessing this is 15 pages of the usual.
