Re: A List of False gods

Thank you for the translation, but it still holds no cultural meaning for me. What is that language and how many native speakers does it have?

The phrase I responded with translates to: "My little brother*, what language do you speak**? What did you tell me, I did not understand. Why don't you want to speak in English?"

I will give you positive reputation points if you figure out what was that language. I doubt that you "lack the function***," but a girl can hope, right?



_______________
* In this particular language/culture, diminutives are used a lot; if I said simply "turay" ("my brother") it would sound very cold/distant, people just don't speak that way.
** On second thought, I should have used the verb form rimashanki instead of rimanki, that would translate more nicely as "(you) are speaking." But, to make my point (which was that we use American English here as the common language to avoid communication problems), I decided to use one of the more obscure languages among the ones I speak, and I have to admit I am not fully fluent in this one yet.
*** A more proper phrasing to use in this case would be something like "lack the knowledge," as all languages are learned and not inherited. Which makes babies truly amazing, because as babies we learned our first language without textbooks and dictionaries.

Reading, I see, is not your strong side. I mean, other than the "Holy" Bible. Search up this phrase (Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn), and be amazed.

As for American English, I don't care. I use American, British, Australian and so many more localised English variants, it's actually disgusting.

The phrase I quoted means this. This is no foreign gibberish - you just simply lack the function that allows you to speak this language.

See what I did there? You're not the only one who can speak foreign gibberish.

But it doesn't really improve communication, when one side does not understand what the other said said, does it?

This is not a problem. The Bible refers to other gods, but only once did any other god get the better of Yahweh, and that god is no longer worshiped.

God is quite clear, He made a pact with us* – we worship Him, He protects us. And so far, God has been as good as His Word (which, by the way, is as silver refined seven times - Psa 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.)

Think of those nations that worship other gods:

The Middle East – a mess of death and suffering ruled by madmen.
Japan – cursed by meglamaniacs and nuclear bombed, tsumanied and earthquaked at regular intervals.
China - a nation of slitty-eyed people willing to copy anything for a bowl of rice.
India – a cesspit of corruption, poverty and crime.
Eskimo lands – freezing cold and filled with pathetic alcoholics
Africa – in the North filled with fundamentalists; in the center, a burning desert; in the south still in the Stone Age.
The Pacific Islands – jiggaboos with bones through their noses living on bananas and coconuts and eating people.

I’d say that God is the only real god.

*Abrahamic Covenant (Genesis 12:1-3, 6-7; 13:14-17; 15; 17:1-14; 22:15-18). In this covenant, God promised many things to Abraham. He personally promised that He would make Abraham’s name great (Genesis 12:2), that Abraham would have numerous physical descendants (Genesis 13:16), and that he would be the father of a multitude of nations (Genesis 17:4-5). God also made promises regarding a nation called Israel. In fact, the geographical boundaries of the Abrahamic Covenant are laid out on more than one occasion in the book of Genesis (12:7; 13:14-15; 15:18-21). Another provision in the Abrahamic Covenant is that the families of the world will be blessed through the physical line of Abraham (Genesis 12:3; 22:18). This is a reference to the Messiah, who would come from the line of Abraham.

And there comes the God talk again. Would you please repeat your history of America? Where is it that Jesus was an American? WHERE? If you can't answer this question, you have to re-read the bible in order to fully grasp on your pathetic example of a religion.

And billions will be killed by Jesus. How humbling that we have been chosen for perfection.
Scripture here (includes numbers & methods of destruction)

4 He hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

Re: A List of False gods

I John 2 . KJV . look up
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

The idolatry is very polluting. As soon as someone kneels by an idol they are overcome with love for the world which The Bible shows us to be a plate of lusts and pride. Just look at the trendy shop windows!

"Step in here to find an attractive beaded belt," they are saying "and you're stepping into a citadel for the evil one." What depravities accompany the clothing they promote? They might give you a discount and appear to befriend you but what they really want is to see you prostrate before that idol. None of this could happen if you never went into the shop. Christians do not associate with things that are in the world, because they promote lust.

II Corinthians 6 . KJV . context
14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16a And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?
17a Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord..

That leaves quite a small group to choose friends from. Christ didn't die just so we could frolic with demons in a crystal den or go swoony over the woodcut-cutter at the hand printed card shop. "How shall we attract the 'right type' of customer into our birthday-card kiosk?" they mused. "I know, let's put a couple of nice idols in the window!" Giving such a card sends a clear message, "I have rejected the 10 Commandments to become an abandoned thing are you busy this afternoon.." which is not something Christians think about but which heathens think about all the time. Take a look at this:

What on earth have revolting looking idols got to do with anything on sale? "Can I have a red fan please, and a demon." Because that's what they're really selling. Everyone working in these places must be full of lust from go-to-whoa as The Bible explains because they are obsessing over the things of the world. Evidence? The idols.

Sister Rebecca has shown from The Bible the sorts of goings on to be expected among idolators. God has explained why and explained how we're able to notice their degenerate state. God has made us apart from the world, by Grace, and the devils in charge recognise a Christian straight away. They are at once frightened and enraged. They'll get their human at every cunning trick, every honeyed word, every pleasing fabric or elegant woodcut to seduce you away from Jesus. And the human will feel the feelings but not know why or what they are. The human will then hate you. What else can it do? Satan owns every idolator. But I am owned by Jesus!

Thank you Jesus!

John 15 . KJV . context
18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
20a Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord.

Re: A List of False gods

I do like christianity, but only if it's tolerant - and it isn't in so many cases

Damned straight there is no tolerance!

Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you. Leviticus 11:12

All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you. Leviticus 11:20

But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you. Leviticus 11:23

Every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination. Leviticus 11:41

Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth ... are an abomination. Leviticus 11:42

Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the LORD thy God any bullock, or sheep, wherein is blemish, or any evilfavouredness: for that is an abomination unto the LORD thy God. Deuteronomy 17:1

The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God. Deuteronomy 22:5

When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favor in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife. And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife; Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD. Deuteronomy 24:1-4

Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman.... Deuteronomy 27:15

That which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. Luke 16:15

And my personal favorite:

Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. Leviticus 18:22



Tolerance is for the weak-willed and false Christians that are desperate to get into Baby Jesus' good graces, but they lack the will to change their evil, wicked ways.
God hates all that do not take His word literally. You will not see the Gates of Heaven unless you fall to your knees and repent and live a righteous life as a True Christian ™.
