Here's something to consider for those of you that are not religious or on the fence.
🗣️ DISCUSSION 💬
Logically either all religions are either false or only ONE is true since they conflict.
If one is true and the world is being run by evil that is lying to us then that true religion would be disproportionally attacked while false ones would be left alone or encouraged.
I can only think of one religion that is attacked above all others.... Christianity.
If it's being attacked / misrepresented by the people trying to enslave / kill me then it must be a threat to them / their plans.
Ergo you should examine Christianity.
Yes, I gathered that much, thank you for your confirmation. Yet, that was not the topic under discussion. You were responding to my New Testament description which is completely non-sequitur, and we can simply park it somewhere in the fridge.
If there is no volition for you to respond to my NT posts, then that is ok. As I said, they stand.
I write exactly this:
What you will notice is a exposition on the deification of Julius Ceasar to the rank of god while he was a pontifex maximus, the main bridge builder. I was using that as an example to highlight the fact that more people in this world in the past have been called god. I even mentioned Moses.
You queried of me:
To which my final conclusive remark was: No, I am not claiming Jesus is not God. But neither am I claiming he is.
There is in my posts no claim that the pontifex maximus is of biblical origin. All I asked is whether or not such epitaphs would befit Christ, since he is the only way. without him there is no eternal life. This is what you belief, is it not? Then looking at it from a model point of view: you are on one side of the divide, God on the other, and Jesus made the crossing possible, hence: the bridge.
Hence, the argument you provide, argues a point never raised, and in terms of the discussion of little use.
Whether it descended from Peter .... I am sure it did not. Although, it has been some time when I looked into these matters, I was under the impression that the claim is the Bishop of Rome was given this title by a very young Roman emperor, because as a Christian, it did nothing for him, and it seemed to be better parked at the pope's desks.
I think you're confusing me with u/ParlerPatriot.
You have no arguments from me that Caesar and others have been considered deities.
As far as Moses, I think you need to go to the Hebrew when deciphering Exodus 7:1. The word translated as lower case god there is elohim, which can also mean "one who is strong and has authority," depending on context. When the upper case God is referred to as Elohim in the Old Testament, the plural form is used which can also mean "one who is strongest and has the most authority." Elohim is a title.
Satan is the father of the Babylonian Mystery Religion, which is a counterfeit of God's system. After the world was separated at the Tower of Babel, it's no surprise similar religions emerged which spoke of a savior, etc. Satan knew what God had promised and created these false religions as a means to confuse those who aren't rooted in the Word of God.
