Re: Is there any other Christians here?

Believe it or not, I'm a Christian. I don't take the Bible literally, and I'm not exactly a practicing Christian, I also don't really give a fart about the holidays, but I believe in the central idea of being good to others and being rewarded for it. Of course, that's really the central idea of the majority of religions, even if not every religion has the same idea of how to be good.

Re: Is there any other Christians here?

Here’s a few pointers on being a Christian

What makes a Christian ?

Simple

Get saved ask God to forgive you of all your sins
Leave your sinful lifestyle behind you
Go and sin no more
If you fall like we all do being only humans repent and move on but don’t actively sin
Read your Bible
Get to know God through reading the bible and praying to him
Never cease to pray, pray pray and pray!
Get delivered , a lot of people have either demon oppression or possession due to their sins I’d say you’re demon oppressed not possessed but still you may suffer from spirits of lust or Jezebel spirit of sex demons etc profanity demons demons of rebellion so on and henceforth
And most importantly LOVE WORSHIP OBEY AND SURRENDER TO JESUS and live for Jesus talk about Jesus to others witness to others
Beware of music such as heavy metal rock and pop Or anything that isn’t of God
listen to worship gospel music
Put on the armour of god the spiritual armour

It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper


Also here’s a few helpful tips


Read psalm 91

Love everyone and forgive everyone you don’t have to be their friend but if they have wronged you forgive them without ceasing
If you hate them switch it to love it is written heap coals of fire on the heads
Meaning kill them with kindness and also written to turn the other cheek
Forgiveness is crucial for being a Christian you’d never get into heaven with Unforgivness in you’re heart it is written if you cannot forgive others God cannot forgive you


Ok so sins
I’m amusing you know the Ten Commandments

Anyway there are much more sins as serious or whatever


Here is some common sins

Idolatry ( one of the Ten Commandments )
Fornication ( sex outside of marriage )
Beating false witness (lying)
Homosexuality
Sexually immortality
Perversion
Porn
Drunkenness
Swearing
Rape
Occult

You need to live a righteous clean life and do exactly what god is telling you to do



It was really hard for me but yesterday I made the decision to follow Jesus forever no turning back

Ooohhhhh goooddd…. 🙄 Btw, this is more about being a Catholic. I know Christians, not backward ones, who don't consider all these as "sins". And anyway, fuck that bullshit.

Take it somewhere else. "Homosexuality is a sin"… Yeah, the fact that people from developed countries still agree with this moronic horseshit is one of the MANY examples why people should give up on religions and think by themselves…

No True Scotsman fallacy. Besides, Protestantism is an offshot from Catholicism. If Catholicism is of the devil, then so is Protestantism.

But more importantly, the following is the only thing that defines someone as a Christian:

A person who believes Jesus is Christ and Saviour. That's it. And Catholics believe that every bit as much as you do.

Besides, which Protestantism are you referring to? Catholicism and Orthodoxy have roots and traditions which have prevented too many off-branchings, but Protestantism is a right mess. That's what happens when you have no clear organisational structure. Oh sure, "God is the head of the Church", but who speaks for God? God himself is silent. His revealed will is only related second and third hand by human beings, and isn't it strange how he reveals different things to different people?

By that standard, God hates Christianity. Because like it or not, Christianity IS a religion. You don't get to redefine it just because you don't like it.

When you list fornication, sexual immorality (the misspelling 'immortality' was funny), perversion, and porn, aren't those redundant? (I omit 'homosexuality' because there's no way to justify it as being a biblical 'sin.') They're all dependent upon just one word, porneia (Gk. πορνείᾳ), which actually simply meant adultery or prostitution, as for example, Matthew 19:9.
https://www.encyclopedia.com/social-sciences/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/porneia

Across the centuries, Christians have gradually attempted to broaden its meaning to include anything and everything, in an effort to police everyone else's sexual relationships, and most recently with the specific goal of subsuming homosexuality under the term.
https://unbiblicalsexualethics.blogspot.com/p/porneia-verses.html

Correctly rendered, Matthew 15:19 reads, "For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, prostitution, theft, false testimony, and slander."

Although the bible mentions instances of rape, incredibly, it nowhere condemns or prohibits it. Rather, as in the case of slavery, it regulates it, setting terms under which it can occur, and a monetary price for infractions (Deuteronomy 22:23-29; the death penalty of vv.24 and 25 is only incurred for infractions against property i.e. betrothed or 'pledged' virgins. It is not incurred regarding those who are unpledged; the rapist in this case has 'bought the farm,' as it were, vv.28-29; he must pay a dowry fee and cannot divorce his victim, ever. What she wants in the matter doesn't come into it, since women had no agency).

"Occult" is not a biblical word. Where are you getting that one, exactly?

Re: Is there any other Christians here?



You know, laziness (sloth) is a sin. You ought to get a job, secure that spot in heaven.

Also, gluttony. In your case, I don’t think you’d qualify as a glutton since you’re not morbidly obese. The use of drugs for recreation along with excessive and narcissistic selfie taking are both addictive habits you have and can be construed as gluttonous.

In Jesus Christ name, please discuss, amen.

Cheerio.

Re: Is there any other Christians here?

I am blessed by the Lord to be a vessel of his judgement toward thine sinners, and through me, he dispenses judgement onto them. Those who seek to commit acts of treachery in mine own chatroom are to be swiftly punished by God's own hammer and by God's own sword. And those who choose to deny my existence as God's ultimate weapon of vengeance will be met with the same punishments of those who seek to harm God's children.

I am rude to no one who doesn't deserve to be treated poorly. Pop, PE, ITTY, Gwnyc, Scooter, have on numerous occasions caused great distress to the tranquility that is my chatroom, and a few of them have used is as a means to go about the continuation of doxxing and harassing others. And because of those injustices, they were smited by mine hand.


If you wish to continue their work (or are one of them) then you shall meet a similar fate.

11 And I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

12 Thus saith the Lord God; Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them;

13 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.

14 And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord God.

15 Thus saith the Lord God; Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy it for the old hatred;

16 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.

17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.

Re: Is there any other Christians here?

Do you believe that Jesus of Nazareth was born of a virgin, lived a perfect life, was crucified, died and arose from the dead on the third day? Do believe that in doing so He paid the sin debt of all mankind, that He is God incarnate and that someday He will return to judge the quick and the dead?

Re: Is there any other Christians here?

Nope. The events and people in the Bible are largely fiction, with elements added or subtracted throughout they years to make it more effective as a religious tool. I mean, the thing's just a book that people take literally because they're told to, and none of what happens really makes logical sense. It's all allegories and metaphors and… fuckin… similes, and because most people who are Christian are so goddamn fixated on believing that all of it is true, they lose sight of the central message.

Jonah never got swallowed by a fish.
Jesus never rose from the dead.
Mary wasn't a virgin.
Moses never parted the Red Sea or spoke to a burning bush.

It's all allegories, dude.

I live. I die. I live again.

Re: Is there any other Christians here?

Here is the thing. In religion the practitioner defines whether or not they are members. Christianity is not a religion. Whether a person is/is not a Christian is NOT defined by the individual but by the Bible itself. You do not believe. You are not a Christian. Jesus's deadth and resurrection is the linch pin, the cornerstone, the entire central message of the Bible. If you don't believe it, you just ain't.

Beware the sound of one hand clapping.

Re: Is there any other Christians here?

Christianity is not a religion.
Um… it is, though.
Whether a person is/is not a Christian is NOT defined by the individual but by the Bible itself.
Except that's wrong, mate. The Bible is a book that allows for different interpretations due to its often open-ended messaging, and it's also very contradictory. There are different types of Christians. BUT the uniting idea behind Christianity (really the uniting idea behind basically every religion) is goodwill toward men and humility toward yourself. If a person adheres to that code, then they are Christian.
Jesus's deadth and resurrection is the linch pin, the cornerstone, the entire central message of the Bible.
Jesus' death and resurrection isn't a message, it's a narrative device. The reason behind his death and resurrection is part of the overarching message of the Bible.


Dude, the Bible is quite literally an anthology book with various stories and poems that have sometimes vague, sometimes obvious connections to other stories in the book due to their respective themes and messages. If you want to take all of it literally, then fine, be retarded. But none of that shit is meant to be taken literally.

I mean, fuck, dude. Take Santa Claus. He goes around the world giving presents to good kids and coal to bad kids every Christmas night at midnight. None of that is possible. Kids believe that shit because they're told it's how it is until they're either told by their parents it's all fake or the kids come to the realization themselves. But the central idea behind Santa Claus is still there: to promote being a good person. That's all the Bible is about. People just continue believing all of that shit is real because it's acceptable to be 40 years old and believe in a guy whose birth mother never had sex, cured a man of his blindness, walked on water, and was resurrected after being tortured for days and nailed to a fuckin cross.

Re: Is there any other Christians here?

Being one is defined by the Word not by the individual.

The Bible is a book that allows for different interpretations due to its often open-ended messaging, and it's also very contradictory.

No serious scholar of the Bible believes that. You seem to have made up your own definition of what a christian is that has nothing whatsoever to do with what the Bible actually has to say on the subject. In other words you have zero faith and your opinion is less than worthless.

Irrelevant. Religion is a belief system concerning morals and spiritual matters such as the afterlife, deities, cosmology etc. Christianity is a perfect example of such.


No serious scholar of the Bible believes that.
Every Bible scholar is aware of the fact that the Bible allows for countless different and differing interpretations. To wit: no religion has as many denominations as Christianity. As for contradictions, every scholar is aware of those as well, they just differ to varying degrees whether or not they have valid explanations. For example, when was Jesus born? Matthew would have you believe Jesus was born in the reign of Herod the Great, but Luke claims it happened while Quirinius was governor in Syria. Since Herod died before Quirinius was governor, this is a contradiction, no matter how much you claim otherwise. I have heard some pretty lame attempts at explaining it away, though, same as when Matthew quotes the wrong prophet in Mat. 27:9-10. He claims to quote Jeremiah, but it's actually Zechariah. "But maybe Jeremiah said it too!". Yes, maybe. Or maybe Matthew screwed up - which, given his track record elsewhere in his gospel, seems far more plausible.

The Bible is so full of contradictions, failed prophecies and falsehoods, that Christians become expert mental gymnasts with all the hoops they have to jump through in order to explain away just the most egregious ones.

Re: Is there any other Christians here?

But those so-called differences are neither here nor there. Every religion is different, in some way or other. Finding ways in which Christianity is different is just silly. If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck… and Christianity quacks just as much as all the others.

https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/5645/how-could-jesus-be-born-during-the-reign-of-herod-and-when-quirinius-was-govern
Yes, like I said, some pretty thin excuses. I actually had this one in mind when I wrote my previous post:

"Additionally, the term used for the ruling of Quirinius in Luke is not specific to a certain position. So, it's quite possible that he held one position at first and then was promoted to the specific position of governor and performed a census then as well."

No. Sorry, this is just the lamest excuse. First of all, Quirinius was the first Roman governor of Syria, as it was only from this time onwards that the province came under direct Roman rule. Quirinius would have had no business there prior. Second, even if Quirinius was in Syria, for some reason working for a non-Roman ruler, why on earth mention him at all when it's just going to look like an embarassing blunder? Why not mention the actual governor? That's what's interesting, after all. Thirdly, there is no record of a census prior to the 6 AD census that could possibly fall in the same time frame.

And thirdly, there was no single census for all the empire in Augustus's time, anyway. And fourthly, no census required people to leave their home towns. That would have been absolutely disastrous for the economy.

Re: Is there any other Christians here?

A Christian is someone who believe that what the Word says concerning Jesus is true. You do not. Ergo you are not. A christian who doesnt believe Jesus? No such thing. One can not be a thing when one does not meet the basis requirements. And no making up your own requirements in direct contradiction of the source material doesnt count for anything.

Without the resurrection Jesus would have had to have been a madman or a liar to have made the claims He did. Without the resurrection there is no forgiveness of sin and no hope of salvation. Faith without works is dead but works without faith is simply lost. You are lost Rocket.

Beware the sound of one hand clapping.

Re: Is there any other Christians here?

Re: Is there any other Christians here?

You still dont get it. And you have zero faith. You sound more like an atheist than anything else. What you think, what I think both irrelevant. The Bible is the Word of God.
