This site is genuinely the saddest thing I’ve ever seen. Vast numbers of people blinding themselves to reality and to their own despicable nature.

I feel bad about your existence because you were most likely indoctrinated into the drivel of religion as a young child, but your actions and words are still your own and do not deserve special treatment regardless.

Your religion, along with all religion, is self-contradictory and ridiculous, supporting atrocious deeds and preaching despicable “morals”, effectively making itself a cancer upon society. I know that your cognitive dissonance won’t allow you to see past the words of the primitive, fallible men who wrote the Bible when speaking to someone like me, but I hope that at least some of you are able to realize the evil path you have taken and somehow find a loving, fulfilling life. Because we both know, deep down, that your religion has no room for love.

Alternative to what? Religion? It doesn’t need an alternative. If you’re referring to this site, I fail to see why it needs an alternative either.

Of course True Christianity™ has room for Love! God has told us that He shares His Love with all of those who accept Him totally!

Exodus 34:7
Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.

We do also know that for the most part of humanity, there is less hope...

Matthew 7:14
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

That is why it is our duty to share our Love to educate the ignorant masses of the hateful fate than will fall upon them unless they listen to us, repent™ and accept Jesus Christ! It is not us who hate the sinner, it is God and it is of utmost importance to help these poor souls correct their ways before it is too late and they end up in God's Wrath in Hell (Matthew 8:12). Jesus must have helped to make an account on this forum - His favorite - even if you still struggle with demons.

Now, who the heck are you, what is your relation to Jesus and His magnum opus, the Bible?


Yours in Christ,

Elmer

Yeah... love for everyone! Except the mentally and physically disabled, blacks, Mexicans, generally anyone else who isn’t white. Lovingly declaring women as objects, lovingly denouncing gays as subhuman, lovingly following a supposedly moral god who would dare to fathom punishing anyone for eternity? Do you honestly not see a problem with prescribing an eternal punishment for a finite crime?

Of course I would not necessarily condemn the retarded and the others to Hell, but - frankly - it is not my decision. We do not make the decisions, we just share with everyone what God has told humanity. Incidentally, we do not think that gays are "subhuman" and I find your choice of words quite distasteful here. Many gay people are - from the secular viewpoint - exemplary human beings who show compassion and wit and succeed in their mundane endeavors. If we didn't have the Bible we would hold them in high Spiritual esteem. We actually Love them so much that we cannot withhold vital information about their future from them - Hell unless they Repent™. And we do have the Bible and the Bible tells us that good and evil are not determined by the outcome of an action but by the person doing the deed.

Psalms 14:1
(To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.) The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

We don't make the rules, we just follow them and urge everyone to do the same for greater rewards in Heaven. Don't you think that it is much more reasonable to obey a God who can send you to the Lake of Fire any moment than a God who just accepts everything as it is? What would be the point in that? Btw, who are you?


Yours in Christ,

Elmer

We do not use any of those other watered-down versions, and we do not cherry-pick our favorite verses whilst ignoring others. I'd like to leave you with a verse of particular significance, and one that you should consider very seriously: Romans 6:23 " For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." May richly bless you as you find here, at . We look forward to getting to know you. A blessed day to you, Dear. Sincerely, Isabella W.

You can claim that it isn’t your choice, but it is certainly your choice to believe in a book of superstition written thousands of years ago by goat farmers for no reason and despite various reasons, such as the evident lack of morality and abundance of contradictions present within. You go against your own internal sense of morals and trust a book simply on the grounds that you were brought up with it (I know this isn’t true for all of you, but it is the most common).

I appreciate the welcome, I’m Peter, just some random guy.

I happen to believe, as a young Christian girl hoping to find a man to provide for some day, that Landover Baptist Church has the most accepting, loving, and non-discriminatory congregation in existence! I admire their acceptance and love. They simply follow The Bible to its word and live their lives according to how Jesus wants them to. It’s really admirable and I hope to grow up to be a True Christian™️ Some day. What is it about these forums that you exactly disagree with?

Welcome Peter! Why do you hate Jesus? Are you Jealous? Most that hate Him are jealous because He created everything in just six days while people like you can barely get out of bed.
Did you know, the Bible was written by a hand picked group of men who transcribed His Magnificent Word®. God then proof read the entire Bible (I've been told in under a minute!), stamped it Perfect© and sent it to the presses.

Unfortunately James, I cant be mad at someone who never existed. Not to say that it isn’t possible that a man named Jesus was alive around 0 BCE, I’m referring to the supposed son of god.

I’m not sure how to even respond to that second part, except to ask why you would believe such a thing in the first place. And remember: the Bible isn’t proof.

To name a few, their blatant verbal cruelty towards those with mental or physical disabilities, people with different skin color than them, and other such things. Also the frankly disgusting conclusion that has been reached regarding the state of women (from what I’ve read, you’re seen to be objects). And then the fact that all of these ideas are substantiated on... nothing. Nothing except some old book you happened to be brought up with.

Young man, do you realise that you had made an extraordinary claim with your initial post and as everyone knows “that which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence”?

You’ve made your assertion: where is your evidence?

Matthew 18:16 - But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established

Could you please specify which claim is insubstantiated? In any case, that was more of a personal message. We can start at the concept that there is no reason to believe in a god, if you’d like.

Yes, year 0. 0 AD? BCE stands for “Before Common Era”, with its counterpart being CE which stands for “Common Era”. They’re alternatives to using “BC” and “AC” to determine the year.

You said

It is our belief (that you seem happy enough to ride roughshod over as if the First Amendment was irrelevant) the Bible(KJV1611) is a true depiction of reality.

So your claim that our beliefs are in fact blinding ourselves needs to be substantiated.

Then we can move on to how the Bible(KJV1611) is evidence to believe in God (granted it may not be evidence that persuades YOU but there is a difference between NO evidence (objective) and NON-persuasive evidence (subjective)).

Oh, honey. I hate to break this to you but year zero does not exist in the Gregorian or Julian calendar.

Sure you are mad at Him. A lot of people who want to blame their sorry lives on someone and not take responsibility for their use of Free Will are mad at God. I hear it over and over 'Oh God, why are you so cruel, making my life so terrible'. These people know their problems are so insignificant that God will not intercede, He is looking at 'the big picture with a superior plan'. So people like you declare 'There is no God'.
Now, just for fun, lets look at dates, shall we? What does BC and AC stand for? Do you think Ed down at 'Calendar Towne' in the Galleria woke one day and said "Gee, lets change the year. All years prior to today, we will count backwards and all those after today, we will count forward, starting at 0." Do you realize how utterly absurd that is?
Now, lets consider, who is is Jesus? Who is God. One and the same. God has nobody like you or I. He simply is, He comes to some of us (I have seen Him) as a manifestation. To walk the Earth, he has to take the body of a man, in this case Jesus. It has been reported that God has done so countless times since, just in a more incognito way.
Just because He has not gone over to your home to take yopu out for a Gelato, does not mean he is not real.
