Christianity: The only TRUE religion- A concept made simple

[Zephaniah]

We've been saying this for years, but I thought I might as well spell it out in logical terms for all you so-called "rational" people out there who will insist on hating Jesus, hating America, and hating yourselves. Biblical law MUST be initiated in America, and the rest of the world, and all other religions but True Christianity must be wiped out.

Supposing you're the principal of a body of education, and you're looking for a new Mathematics specialist to teach there. You interview three applicants, and ask each one the question "What is 2+2?". Simple enough. Imagine that each one gave a different response.

1. 2+2= 22
2. 2+2= 4
3. 2+2= 5

Now, which one would you offer the job to? The obvious answer is number 2. when queried on this decision, you would obviously tell your questioner "The other applicants did not possess correct knowledge of Mathematics." And it's true. Everyone knows the correct answer is four. Just look in a Landover Approved Mathematics textbook (heathen textbooks may cause homosexuality, don't use them) if you don't believe me.

Now, imagine a different scenario. You're the head of a city's planning department. Three people come to you asking to build religious temples in the city, and you can only allow one of them to do so. You ask them one question, "What is your religion?", they answer as follows:

1. Judaism
2. Christianity
3. Islam

Now, surely the choice is as simple as it was for the Mathematics teacher. It's obviously the man wanting to build a GODLY Christian church! When asked why you favoured him, it's obvious you would have to say "The other two didn't possess the correct knowledge of GOD." And this is true. The Bible, GOD's book, tells us plain and simple, in several instances, that the only religion GOD will ever accept is Christianity.

Therefore, as sure as 2+2=4, Christianity is the only TRUE religion. GLORY!

But what if it was 2+2= 22, on Christainity?

And what if you made a worthwhile post, or made a lick of sense? Stop worrying about things that will never happen and start worrying about the fact that GOD is going to gut you like a fish if you don't repent, and fast.

Sadly, if you can't understand me, it's not my fault. It is your's alone. Just as I cannot understand you, which is my fault. I don't really fit in with madmen, afterall.

We understand what you're saying, the problem is that you don't make any sense.
You make this hypothetical "what if" example that WILL NEVER EVER HAPPEN.

It's like saying, 'what if pigs started flying? what then?' Or 'what if I could live on the sun?'
It's not going to happen, and just asking such a silly hypothetical question only makes you look (even more) stupid.

Stop this sillyness and accept Jesus Christ as Lord and your personal Saviour.
Do something right for once.

Already have, but your convinced I havn't. So we have a problem. Hence why your mad for not beileveing a fellow Christain.

A Brief History of Christianity:

As we all know, Christianity was formed from the teachings of Christ around what is now referred to as 0 AD. Now, many converted to this newly founded religion--the Jews of Judaea, the Greek Jews of the Diaspora, Pagans, etc. As mentioned below, there are various polytheistic ploys used by Christianity, such as the Holy Trinity, that could have well been used as a tool to convert many of the polytheists of the time, namely Pagans.

Until around the third century AD, Christians suffered the brunt of religious persecution as many existing Jews saw this new budding religion as heresy. However, this persecution greatly subsided when the Roman Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity. It was also around this time, and due to this fact, that Christian places of worship were erected and worship became much more widespread. Furthermore, it was at the time of Rome's adoption of this religion that Rabbinic Judaism was formed, from which all modern sects descend.

As time progressed, Christianity spread throughout Europe and underwent multiple schisms, dividing it into three major branches. The first, Roman Catholicism, succeeded the church established in Rome shortly after Christ's death and has been predominant in Ireland, Poland, France, and Spain since that time. The second branch is Eastern Orthodox, which was formed from the Roman Catholic Church in the fourth century AD and was primarily a political decision with the eastern and western divisions of the Roman Empire.

Finally, the third and most recent division is the Protestant branch, originating during the Reformation (sixteenth and seventeenth centuries). Protestant denominations differ in the degree in which they reject Catholic belief and practice. Some, such as Lutherans, still resemble Catholicism in their formal liturgy, while others, such as Baptists, retain very few ties to the liturgy and traditions of the Catholic Church.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, as you can see, Christianity in its roots has had multiple dividing principles throughout the last two millenia, resulting in ultimately two schisms and the formation of about a dozen main denominations, currently in existence. These major divisions aside, many of the ideas introduced in Christianity are hardly original, so to speak. A few points off the top of my head that one might mention to support this are as follows and will also be summarized at the end of this post:

• Hercule being the son of a God and a mortal woman, performing heroic, near miraculous feats, and then being killed by an enemy and ascending to the stars? Not at all reminiscent of Jesus being the son of God and a mortal woman, performing miracles, being killed by his enemies, and ascending to Heaven. Oh... wait...
• The holy trinity, not at all a slight ploy to help convert the numerous polytheists (the Pagans) of the day.

JESUS:

1. Born of a virgin on December 25th
2. His birth was announced by a star in the east
3. His earthly father was called Joseph
4. Taught in a temple at age 12
5. Baptized at age 30 - having disappeared for 18 years - in the river Jordan by John the Baptist
6. Had 12 disciples, two of whom were his "witnesses" (the two Johns)
7. Performed miracles, exorcised demons, and raised Lazarus from the dead
8. Walked on water
9. Delivered a Sermon on the Mount, after which his sayings were used by his followers
10. Transfigured on the Mount
11. Crucified between two thieves, buried for three days in a tomb, and resurrected
12. Known as "The Way, the Truth, and the Light," "Messiah," "God's Anointed Son," "Son of Man," the "Good Shepherd," "Lamb of God," the "Word made flesh," the "Word of Truth," etc.
13. Associated with the Fish (Ichthys, or the "Jesus fish"), Lamb, and Lion
14. Was supposed to reign "one thousand years"
15. Known as the Christ, or the "Anointed One"

HORUS/OSIRIS

1. Born of a virgin on December 25th
2. His birth was announced by a star in the east
3. His earthly father was called Seb (roughly translated to "Joseph")
4. Taught in a temple at age 12
5. Baptized at age 30 - having disappeared for 18 years - in the river Eridanus/Iarutana (roughly translated to "Jordan") by Anup the Baptizer (John the Baptist)
6. Had 12 disciples, two of whom were his "witnesses" (Anup and Aan, the two "Johns")
7. Performed miracles, exorcised demons, and raised "El-Azarus" (strikingly similar to Lazarus) from the dead
8. Walked on water
9. Delivered a Sermon on the Mount, after which his sayings were used by his followers (The Sayings of Iusa)
10. Transfigured on the Mount
11. Crucified between two thieves, buried for three days in a tomb, and resurrected
12. Known as "The Way, the Truth, and the Light," "Messiah," "God's Anointed Son," "Son of Man," the "Good Shepherd," "Lamb of God," the "Word made flesh," the "Word of Truth," etc.
13. Associated with the Fish (Ichthys, or the "Jesus fish"), Lamb, and Lion
14. Was supposed to reign "one thousand years"
15. Known as the "KRST," or the "Anointed One"

If you have accepted Jesus then why don't you keep the commandments?
It's IMPOSSIBLE to break them if you've truly accepted Jesus.

He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1 John 2:4

^ And you well know that Jesus is the truth. (John 14:6) And as such, Jesus is not in you.
You are unsaved.

Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not:
Whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
1 John 3:6

Little children, let no man deceive you:
He that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous.
1 John 3:7

If Jesus is truly in your heart, the commandments is written on your heart, as Jesus is the Word made flesh. (John 1:14)
You believe, but you have not accepted Jesus into your heart, and thus you are unsaved.
Thus you have the faith of a devil (James 2:19), and that will not save you come judgement day!

Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin;
For his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
1 John 3:9

You are nothing but unsaved trash and you better accept Jesus and all His commandments ASAP!

...formed from the Roman Catholic Church in the fourth century AD and was primarily a political decision with the eastern and western divisions of the Roman Empire.

Oopsies--a slight error there. the schism's roots of dissent can be traced back to the eighth century though the actual divide did not occur until 1054 AD.

Re: Christianity: The only TRUE religion- A concept made simple

*Sigh* that old saying "there's nothing new under the sky" rings ever-so-true. Haven't we dealt with this a number of times already? For the last 6,000 years, people have been stealing Jesus' message in an attempt to lend legitimacy to their hare-brained schemes. Some were even so desperate as to pre-steal the ideas (like the Jews/Catholics with the Bible and Redskins with America). It is nothing more than smoke-and-mirrors to try to draw your attention away from the fact that Jesus came to save you!

Re: Christianity: The only TRUE religion- A concept made simple

Please now, Ernest, do you really need me to destroy your premise of pre-stealing, yet again?

There's no NEED for a brief history of Christianity. You already have the COMPLETE history! Read the BIBLE! GLORY!

But the Bible is the closest to the truth as you can get with this particular religion. The history I provided was to show how diluted Christianity has become and how far from its roots Baptists are. ^.^

Christianity's root is JESUS. We follow his teachings and the law laid down in the BIBLE. You should too, or you'll go to hell. Simple as that.

Re: Christianity: The only TRUE religion- A concept made simple

Christianity the belief that a cosmic Jewish zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib woman was convinced by talking snake to eat from a magical tree yeah, makes perfect sense I mean seriously in retrospect christens are screwed up

May EVERY god watch over you and show you the path of your own choice not a cults brainwash (namely this church)
