God shall not be mocked

[eels bloke]

Ask a deeply Christian man whether he’d rather live next to a bearded Muslim that may or may not be plotting a terror attack, or an atheist who may or may not show him how to set up a wireless network in his house. On the scale of prejudice atheists don’t seem so bad lately. Scott Adams.

When one loses the deep intimate relationship with nature, then temples, mosques and churches become important. Krishnamurti.

Someone once aksed me who the most handsome man in the Univer was. I said, ask that woman, and pointed at this smoking hot lady. Her and her two friends ended up pointing back at me once they were asked the question.

Scientific proof that Anonymous knows what he is talking about.

Being a Humanist means trying to behave decently without expectation of rewards or punishment after you are dead.

Kurt Vonnegut, 1922–2007, American novelist​

For me, this is far more enlightening and honorable than any word I have ever heard spoken about God.

True Christians, Christians by nature not just by name are humanists. The difference between an atheist humanist and a Christian humanist is that one has a sense of pride the other is humble.

One believes it is his/her will that is at work, the other believes it is God's.

You want to know what honourable is, a man who lived about 2000 years ago, roamed the earth and had no possesions. This man taught love and respect, he taught humility, patience and kindness towards one another. This man healed hundreds of people with leprosry and various diseases, yet for all the good that he had done, he took it upon himself to lay down his life for OUR sake.

He sacrificed himself for OUR sins for OUR trespasses, he even forgave the people who scorged and crucified him. This my friend is the most honourable act performed from any living being that has walked the face of this planet, someone taking the punishment that you and I both deserve.

Allegedly.

What a lot of sh*t.

Maybe you feel you deserve punishment, but my conscience in this life is clean.

And what is noble about wanting to have someone else take "your" punishment in any event?

If you were as "noble" as you say you are in being a Christian, then by this rationale, you should climb up on a crucifix and nail yourself in, instead of having someone else to scapegoat for all "the punishment that you deserve."

Pass the buck to Jesus, huh?

Great answer :roll:

Popular Christianity is largely based upon, and practiced for, the expectation of reward in the afterlife, and the avoidance of punishment in both this one, and whatever is expected to come afterwards.

Noble?

Hardly.

Remarkable story. Pseudoscience if it only happened on the one occasion, notwithstanding, I'll take your word for it.

If Christians like you are so "humble", then why on Earth can you not shut the f*ck up about how great you think you are?

Yep, Christianity (in all its forms) is really living up to that example.

Like I've already said in the Hillsong thread - if Christ ever returns, the Christians will be the ones getting the hellfire (not least because of how full of pride they [also read: you] are)

He sacrificed himself for OUR sins for OUR trespasses, he even forgave the people who scorged and crucified him. This my friend is the most honourable act performed from any living being that has walked the face of this planet, someone taking the punishment that you and I both deserve.

What about when I deign to interact with the plebs (read: everyone apart from myself and my mate, Neil)?

Peacock's aren't terribly unassuming creatures at the best of times. Bit of a copout i have to agree KaboobieGarfunkelShazam.

ok lets for arguments case all that is correct, and we evolved from some other creature thru evolution. someone had to get the how process started by creating that original atom, which would have to have all the information neccesarry to make it possible. Just like a computer, if it does not have all the software on it when purchased it, its useless. Same could be said for that atom or spec of dust what ever you want to call it. It would have to be programed with all the building blocks of life.

Even Drawin who started this whole evolution crap off admited towards the end of his life the existence of some high being, he just stop short of calling him God.

Why doesn't Genesis then say "He first created a giant ball of atoms that exploded and led to the creation of everything." Thus why I believe god or no god, I know the Bible and Christianity in turn is false.

And Darwin was commonly misconstrued as being wavering on his belief because he stated it was possible a higher being existed. If Darwin was still alive I think you would find fe agreed with my above statement that if a god does exist it definitely isn't Biblical

What have i said about myself that makes you think that i think i am so great?

Why are you getting so upset?

Hardly.

What you believe to be a clean consicience and what God thinks are two different things my friend, before i commited myself to Christ, i also thought that I was a tops bloke.

Jesus took the punishment because of his love for us, the punishment we deserve isn't physical, it will not occur here on earth and this is where non believers do not have understanding.

Your mind is constrained to what you see and hear, you have rejected God and his Son and your heart is hardened to any other possibility other than what is in the physical realm.

You will not understand unless you want to understand, God will not reach out to you, as you have claimed your autonomy from him, which is your choice.

Anyways bro, much love from a brotha.

Hey bro, how you going?

How aren't true Christians living up to this? Do you know what a true Christian is HJ? Someone who goes to Church once a week and forgets about God for the other 6 days is not a true Christian. Someone who molests young boys is not a true Christian, someone who steals from the Church is not a true Christian, someone who cons people into giving all their hard earned is not a true Christian (and many many many Churches are like this and this was foretold by Jesus and the apostles)

A true Christian helps people in need, people from many denominations help the poor and needy. A true Christian shows love in the face of hate, a true Christian displays patience in the face of persecution, a true Christian turns his back away from the evils of this world and lives right standing in God's eyes.

It is true what you say, many so called Christians will probably burn in hell (I say probably cause this is not my judgement to make), cause they are hypocritical and do not have the spirit in them.

I am not full of pride, I have come here to defend my beliefs (as i stated many posts ago) this is a requirement, "For if you deny me before men, I will deny you before the Holy Angels".

So do you believe in darwinism?

 

[Mr Angry]

And you believe your beliefs are so different to Muslims and Jews.

One single all powerful MAN who made the universe for us.....

Heaven or hell.

Females should be modest.

Men are truly superior.

Sins, so many for us.

And your children need to believe the same as you from as early as you tell them.

Dime a dozen, fool, how thinks he thinks for himself.

And of course God, Allah, Jehovah made Melbourne Storm win because Parra fans dis Jesus.

And in an educated society you expect this to carry some sort of weight.

Please come back to four corners, bloke who does not know the difference between apes and monkeys.

Christianity is completely different to any other religion, but no matter what I write nothing will change your mind.

So what are you? An ape or a monkey, im a human.

 

[N.Hindmarsh_Fan]

Anyways guys, enough of this as people have argued and debated for thousands of years regarding this topic. I said what I wanted and it is up to each individual to believe in what they want to believe.

I will leave you with this though, my thoughts and prayers are with you all, I hope that you find peace and joy in life and God bless.

PS. GO YOU MIGHTY EELS!
