Christian Crimes against Humanity

quote:

---

1). Believe in and accept God,
2). Accept His son Jesus Christ as our Savior who died for our sins, and
3). Love each other.

"Anything is Possible when you think illogically."

Jesus talks about repentance extensively in the Gospel of Luke but not in the other gospels, never could fully understand that.

You have to realize though that during the terrible things Decius speaks of, people didn't have bibles. They didn't even have access to the scriptures. Only priests were allowed to read the scriptures. If a common person was caught reading the scriptures, it was to the dungen for them. Some of these people who were being tortured were not being tortured because they didn't believe in Jesus, but because they had a different idea about Jesus.

Freedom is very important - you take away freedom and you take away truth.

This may be about how Christianity could be so cruel, but it is also about how only the elite were educated and comeners were kept in the dark. If you weren't the elite, you were just like dogs and should be thankful for the few crumbs the elite might spare.

Either way this is about missinterpretation.
If it "can" be missinterpretted then It cannot be the word of God.

Note these words are in red letter edition as being stated by Jesus. Also note that they refer to judgement => the coming judgement as related to the afterlife => spiritual being, not to be confused with the physical.

It is stated that we (mankind) can not understand the fullness of GOD => man is the one lacking the ability to understand [comprehend], not GOD nor His Word?

that is a wrong assumption.

We have been given a free will to either accept God or reject Him. If he revealed himself to us in such a way that there was no realistic possibility but to accept him and believe him then we really dont have free will.

It is the same with the Bible. We can either accept it or reject it. If it were presented to us in any other way, we would be left with no realistic option but to believe it, thus our free will is violated.

"Anything is Possible when you think illogically."

Are you speaking from logic or emotion.

If God was smart he would send a bolt of lightening to the white house, after he gets their attention, instruct them to dismantal all nuclear weapons.

As someone explained to me elsewhere in this forum, maybe we just don't know what God is. We think God is supposed to be a certain way and God just isn't.

"A fool says I know and a wise man says I wonder."

besides, its my opinion that scripture is screwed and the true church has already been taken - and I don't know what that means for us.

well said

"A fool says I know and a wise man says I wonder."

If God presented his Holy words in a way that we could perfectly understand, takes away our free will how?

""What we do in life echoes in eternity" Maximus"

Once again,

quote:

---

If I told you the world that fire burns you perfectly and clearly.
Would some people still touch fire?
Of course some would. People are stupid.
This perfectly displays that by no means takes away anyones freewill to choose not to touch the fire.

And if your still thinking about faith, if God gave you his words that were understood perfectly by all it still wouldn't prove whether he exist or not. Its still just words. And that doesn't prove God in anyway.

If he truly was God he would find a "way" to communicate "Perfectly" with no missinterpretations and still require people to have faith.

He's God, he can do anything.

"Anything is Possible when you think illogically."

Sorry, I dont think you grasp what it means to be free!

You see, if God presented the gospel in such a way that it couldn't be misinterpreted then if you chose to reject it you would be like the stupid person who chooses to stick is naked hand in the fire even though he knows he is going to get burned. To most reasonable people the choice is clear! Would you agree!

How we choose to interpret the Bible doesnt make it any less true.

""What we do in life echoes in eternity" Maximus"

If the bible was completely understandable, it doesn't imply that we must choose it!

It doesn't prove god in anyway.
It would not leave only one "realistic" option.
It would still all be the same, just less irresponsible on gods part.

"Anything is Possible when you think illogically."

If I took the bible literally I would have to cut my hand off. It is better to loose a hand and still go to heaven then keep your hand and go to hell.

When I was 13 I cried like a baby because I just couldn't cut my hand off and the only reason I can talk about it now is because it was a long time ago, but still it was an embarrassing moment of my life.

In some places the bible is wrong - we can only ask the heart to know the truth.

And 13 year old children should not be allowed to read the bible after being told its the word of God.
