They're slaves and their own gods of their lifestyles you just described. No one is putting them up to those lifestyles but their own selves which they are entrapped of all at once.

The atheists themselves are their own gods.

So you were taught to be an atheist ultimately.

Religion is a belief system.

Simple. Do you believe the bible condemns people?

This speculative. Guns are prevalent so likelihood of them being in use is clear.

Do you believe christians read the bible?
Mal · a year ago
Atheism is another religion.
Will you be willing to put your family last? If not , is that why you're an atheist?

Are guns or people the issue?
If we remove all guns, are we safer or in the same condition?
Is any one less dangerous without a firearm?
Why is there a misconception of gun violence?
What could be an improvement of gun ownership or guns themselves?

Even the ones that didn't vote or voted for the other candidate.

So christians that read where it condemns people should be what christians do to condemn because they're just giving you what the book says.
In any kind world you want, makes no difference being your reality is filled with condemnation.
Mal · a year ago
Do you believe the bible condemns people?
Mal · a year ago
Yes. According to the book, the true Christian, or specifically holiness folks can read the book where it says they are condemned already thus condemning them.

That's like a conundrum.
How did the person become a christian without reading it in the first place to follow it to follow Jesus?
In order to be a doer of the word according to the scripture, you would had to be a hearer.

Does the Bible teach and is it written that God predestined those he elected to Christianity?
If so , get the book , chapter and verse. If you can't find it, it had to have come from somewhere. Where did it come from?
Looks like you already admitted it was not God , not Christ who coined his people to be under the label Christianity.
Mal · a year ago
So to put it simply and plain and answer everything altogether.
Does the Bible teach and is it written that God predestined those he elected to Christianity?
If so , get the book , chapter and verse. If you can't find it, it had to have come from somewhere. Where did it come from?
Just that plain.
Now , you mentioned about the concept.
What is the concept?
Mal · a year ago
I don't know what the definition is.
My concern is not the definition. It is mankind inventing the classification which is undeniable.
Furthermore to that, people will have all kinds of definitions and conflate them.
This is why it's important not to stray away from scripture with coining different things to be scripturally accurate .
Just like for some examples, modalism, Unitarianism, oneness, calvinism, armenianism, three personalities.
You start to invent schemes , concepts , getting off of just sound doctrine instead of denominating where the unity of truth according to scripture is lost.
All these denominations will claim Christianity, a man made umbrella but take this doctrine, leave that doctrine.
Where as the religion or faith of holiness, is the one way according to scripture. So why all this other stuff?
Man invented schemes .
But people don't think about this as it's one of the most if not the least missed detail upon learning the bible, learning the christian walk.
Mal · a year ago
I never said the word “christian” is not in the bible.
Even in what you quoted, I didn't say it .
I said “Christianity”. Not in any translation I read. Christianity is an invention of man.
When you read the scripture, you learn what God actually established for the faith and it wasn't called the christianity faith or even Christian faith. But people come along and invent labels and classifications and conflate things and coin things as what they did at Antioch.
Mal · a year ago
Is there a such thing as a christian God?
Is the biblical God a christian God or Holy God?
Where did all these denominations come from?
Christianity was invented by man.
Christianity did not come from God .
If we read and understand the scriptures, we will learn all these derivatives forming sects for denominations never instituted by Christ/God.
It has nothing to do with my personal beliefs or what exactly is my religion as some suggest or assume.
Anyone with basic reading comprehension ability can argue and debate things regarding scripture regardless of personal background.
That's all it is . Just basic reading comprehension of the plain things. Not talking about the mysteries of the gospel and those it's given to where it's not so plain to those it is not given unto.
Through basic reading comprehension, a person can prove a point based on what is read and written. Just because a person can do that, says nothing of the person's actual religious background.
But because of the nature of error, you do error not knowing with the display of assumption not speaking on what you know.
According to the scripture, God didn't even invent or call anyone to be christian or didn't call any a christian. With basic reading comprehension without adding, presuming, reading into text, that conclusion is clear and plain.
Matter of text, matter of fact, the description in scripture demonstrates where the classification or sect called christian came from.
Much conflation happens and attach things to scripture not even there which the scripture speaks against.
Are there any questions?
Tag me directly of course. Don't shy away like others do.

I agree about man inventing morality.
One thing that is objective is just the do's and don'ts regarding life.
Mal · a year ago
What do you perceive morality to be?
Mal · a year ago
Being that we're talking about biblical context, what do you say morality is?
The scriptures talk about what God is but never puts it as moral. Morality is more of mankind's concept of good and bad .
Mal · a year ago
That's right. People's morality don't require the ones of gods. Just require gods to have moralities of gods.
