All of you have been weighing heavy on my mind (1 Viewer)

This is a lie. There isn’t any eloquent way to put it. This is the same lie paraded by the History Channel and several other secular platforms. It just simply is not true.

It’s not a lie. That the Gospels are not eyewitnesses and copy from each other is well documented, mainstream biblical scholarship. That most of the epistles are forgeries is mainstream biblical scholarship. That the figures and stories of the OT are non-historical mythology is mainstream biblical scholarship.

There isn’t any eloquent way to put it, but Christianity is just as made-up as every other religion.

Let me say this. There were 12 apostles. 13 counting Paul. All but one.... John.....died horrible deaths because of their testimony of the Lord. They did this willingly. Why would they do this for a dead man. If Jesus wasn't real and who he was shown to be....why would they do this.

Fact is that Jesus is the son of God. He is faithful and true. Everything the Bible says is true. No one would go through what they did... this doesn't even include all the early church being killed horribly by Nero.... unless he is real. Would you.

Jesus offers the free gift of salvation to all who will believe. He paid the price for you. Romans says to confess and believe and to call upon the name of the Lord and you will be saved. It's that simple. He loves you and he created you. "Behold I stand at the door and knock. ". He is tenderly calling you to come to him.

I have 2 college degrees. I am not an idiot. I have read the Bible 13 times. I have tried it thoroughly and it has proven true. I have called upon Jesus many times for help and he has delivered me over and over. Please believe me when I say this is real. There is no greater decision you will ever make. I can take the persecution because it's not about me. This is about you and your eternal souls.

"He who believes in me is not condemned... but he who believes not is condemned already because he has not believed on the only begotten son of God.".

i'm gonna go with a double no and raise ya . DNA test results or yer off base.

 

[UndeadSnoopy]

He loves you and he created you. "Behold I stand at the door and knock. ". He is tenderly calling you to come to him.

And if you don't respond He will "tenderly" fling you in Hell for eternity.

 

[CapitalCitySaint]

He loves you

He has a funny way of showing it.

 

[UndeadSnoopy]

He has a funny way of showing it.

You were asking for it.

Also we are in church and women should remain silent.

1 Corinthians 14:34
Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says.

he? (smites like a dame!)

Many people have given their lives in support of whatever religious beliefs they'd adopted. You're old enough to remember Jonestown, Heaven's Gate, and the Branch Davidians.

In fact, I'd say anybody harping on end-times prophecy is demonstrating the signs of vulnerability to be steered to their doom.

I'm sincere when I say that I wish you'd reconsider the beliefs you are submitting to. Maybe you just got sucked in too deep and have lost all perspective? There are religion recovery support groups online and no matter where you live, you should have access to counselors.

I'm really not trying to pick on you and I absolutely realize this is almost certainly futile, but I think you are a well meaning guy who has been manipulated into embracing a damaging set of beliefs. I sincerely hope you find a way out of this.

 

[Cage1]

Yes. If you don't die first you will go through the tribulation/great tribulation which is hell on Earth.

Okay, so that was the 90s. What now?

 

[guidomerkinsrules]

I'm too sober for all this shirt

Whose fault is that?

 

[BobE]

Whose fault is that?

My own. But I'm making up for it right now.

Did you just ‘prove’ that all religions are real bc people died for their beliefs?

I guess you're not game.
It's too bad, I was rather looking forward to it.

This is one of those context matters verses. But, most people who I've talked to, have no idea what they're talking about when using this to justify women not having a voice in the church. It drives me batty because that wasn't at all what the author's intent was.

But yeah, context matters. Regardless, here isn't the time or place for a Bible lesson, and apparently, someone here didn't get the memo.
