This war is Biblical and the only way we can overcome is with God's Help
I hope you've seen humanity without God is not good
Because of Greed, Power, and the very plans of Satan...we have wickedness, disease, and starvation
Nobody likes to be called a sinner
Well, you are one... without Christ, we are as loathsome as the stinkbugs we get rid of in our homes
Compared to good, you are a filthy rag
If you've never heard that...it's time you do
If you were let in Heaven, the way you are....you would stink up Heaven and bring death to a perfect atmosphere.
You are born that way...you can't change it
God can tho...
Me going deep into why the Bible is real and Jesus holds it all together, using science, archaeology, History and everything logical to prove to you...
That will never work on lost people...that's just red meat for the saved
You have to see yourself the way God does
Did you know in the end....Does Jesus have to keep us all from killing each other?!
The elements will burn with fervent heat....sounds like nuclear
You don't need to worry about climate change
Humanity will never give that a chance....this Earth would probably like to puke us out
We are a curse to it
When you see how lost you are, then you may come to get saved.
That's why the Gospel is good news
Some of you took a red pill
But what you really need is the Gospel
Yes. According to Paul. Do you know what circular logic is?
Me: "I don't think Paul was a true disciple of Christ. I think he was a false prophet."
You: "But he can't be a false prophet, because he clearly says he isn't one right here."
Me: "..."
And what did the Pharisees believe? Who did they worship? Who did Jesus say they worshipped/followed? These were not merely Old Testament scholars, my friend. These were Talmudic Jews. If you don't know what's in the Talmud, I suggest you research it.
According to Paul.
Yes. And in my opinion, a false missionary, going about teaching Old Testament idolatry with a Christian spin.
Says Paul.
Says you, based on your understanding as a Pauline Christian.
Says you and Paul.
Ah. Pious bragging masked as humble self-deprecation. Lovely.
Maybe according to you. But not according to Christ. At least not how I read what he says in John chapter 10: "Jesus said to them, 'I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?' 'We are not stoning you for any good work,' they replied, 'but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.' Jesus answered them, 'Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods"’? If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside—what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’? Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father. But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”
Pretty pesky word Jesus keeps throwing in there ("works") huh? Also pretty pesky scripture he decided to quote if in fact you and Paul are right and we're a bunch of pathetic dung beetles who should be worshipping Jesus like an old Testament idol.
Given that perfect is a subjective term, this statement is meaningless to me. Is a rose with one thorn or two more perfect? It all depends on the preference of the person you're asking. What makes you think you aren't perfect? Because you sin? And what evidence do you have, other than Pauline dogma, that Christ himself never made any mistakes growing up?
Anyway, like I said, I don't buy Paul's take on Jesus. I just don't. So you can quote Paul until you're blue in the face. Remember, Christ said these false prophets, these wolves in sheeps clothing, these whited sepulchres would manage to deceive even the elect. With all the self-deprecating you've done so far I doubt you'd arrogate yourself to be one of them. So what makes you think you haven't been deceived yourself?
Food for thought. Take care.
You are not yet a Christian because you do not yet understand the "good news" of Christ's Gospel, but I hope you will one day by the grace of God. But I cannot engage in further debate because at this point it would be counter productive.
Yes I believe it would be. And I'll keep calling myself Christian despite your protestations based on Pauline definitions. Good day.
