It seems like a lot of times non-believers can't be satisfied with God's mercy. Too merciful, angry. Not merciful enough, angry. ........You’re touching on a tension that theologians, philosophers, and skeptics have wrestled with for centuries. The difficulty is that **people often want two things a
After all of the witnessing of “miracles & wonders” by hundreds of thousands of Jewish people and hundreds of thousands more hearing those wonderful sermons about selling your worldly goods to give “poor” and buy swords, it appears that the short minded and forgetful Jews still couldn’t rec

It appears that the most popular is the King James' Version. According to Wiki and a few other sources. I have found this to be the case myself from speaking with devout christens but they can never explain why only to say that they - "trust it".
.....then the who put them into the mouth of the Christ?Equal then not equal John 10:30 " I and the Father are one". John 14:28 “ I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I" .I judge then I don't judge John 5:22 , 30. " Moreover, the Father judges
Jesus ,the bible says , was resurrected a flesh and blood man.So how did Jesus enter the closed and locked room? On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said,&n
Jesus's tempter was Satan/ the Devil we are told.Mathew4:1Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.Right off the bat this story falls apart if it is to be taken literally? Because immediately the “devil” begins his test by saying;4:3“If you are the Son of
Revelation22:18-19 "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take aw
Christians: 32%Muslims; 23%Judaism: 0.2%I have read the Holy Bible, and then Torah, cover-to-cover in four languages: English, French, Greek, Italian. They are not identical, word-for-word. Even just in Engish, there are over 2 dozen separate translations.I have read the Quran cover-to-cover in
When people say Christianity is based on faith, I find that to be indicative of a superficial understanding of Christianity! There is Faith--with a capital "F"--which refers to the unified faith or belief that we have as the Church in believing the truth.This is a communal mutual aggreance of what w
**What Does It Mean for Scripture to Be “True”?Biblical Authority, Human Flourishing, and the Wisdom That Saves**One of the quiet fault lines running beneath modern Christianity isn’t politics or morality, but epistemology: what kind of truth is the Bible actually claiming to give us? 
Even without religion and purely from a skeptical point of view, How We Live Might Matter If Consciousness Continues After DeathIf human consciousness were to persist beyond bodily death — even in some minimal form — it would almost certainly not persist as a blank slate.In every domain we understan
Even Paul and Luke seem confused on the matter. Refer to I Timothy 2: 12 "But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence." Then refer to Acts 21: 8, 9 "And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we ent
I hear this occasionally and I'm getting kind of tired of it.Huxley coined the term agnostic to describe a reasonable philosophy: In matters of the intellect, follow your reason as far as it will take you, without regard to any other consideration, and do not pretend that conclusions are certain whi

I didn't ask anyone to die for my crimes or sins or misdemeanours.By all accounts, and after all the claims made by Christians of humans having “free will” someone did take it upon themselves and committed suicide on my behalf and I didn’t have a say in the matter.And the idea that I would
I am very confused right now. In past two weeks, I did as one video instructed. I drew a circle, and wrote "Monad" inside a circle. this is to make you invisible to archons. I drew it on arm.I have also drawn some other symbols, as well as prayer to Cthulhu.In past two weeks, money has been coming t
Exodus 20 is the source of the Ten Commandments given to the Israelites [not just Jews, as many interpret, now, but the entire House of Israel. After all, Moses, himself, was of the House of Levi, not Judah] by God through Moses. Verses 2 & 3 contain the topic of the first commandment, the whole
The Christians dogma still,to this day, insist that there was and is, only ever has been, only one god. This is a lie and the odd thing about their insistence is that their own scriptures state to the contrary.Why is it that they have settled on the preferred idea of an omnipotent and everlasti
I have heard a few reasons as to why god is said to have become flesh and not once have I been able to understand why this "incarnation" had to happen and even why it should be believed.So why is that Christians believe it?

There different ways to approach biblical accuracy. Theres inerrancy, there's literalism, there's simply being inspired, theres infallible on all questions of faith and morals, and theres another approach that i feel intuitively... infallible on essential faith and morals. Of course some might call
There are several passages in the Holy Bible that say it is dependable as scripture, that it contains the path of righteous living to attain the presence for God, but that it is void of error is never claimed absolutely. There's good reason: I'll argue all day long that it is inspired, but I also cl
When you look at the modern Wheel of the Year in paganism, February 2nd marks an important day in the calendar as far as planting and gardening. In the Celtic tradition it's called Imbolic. The holiday focuses on Bridgid and her eternal flame. It's a time of year when fireplaces are cleaned and lit
1: Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. If you want christianity in its purest most distilled form (not lacking anything essential but not containing any "fluff" or heterodoxy) this is where you go. It is the largest mainline denomination in america that isn't liberal and has stayed consistent, solid and
There are few passages from John gospel that only suggest that Jesus is god.The other gospel refer to him as being only a "son of god" which is nothing more than a title of those ancient times, and today as a matter of fact. Indeed, the whole nation of Israel were said by god to be h
LCMS (lutheran church missouri synod)This is the best denomination on earth.

Jesus only said lust was a sin. Not necessarily porn. Lust meant covetedness and inordinate desire, and was said in the context of adultery, not any sexual act or desire. The only problem for sure that I see with porn is that it is usually in the context of sin or dehumanizing behavior behind the sc
