The end times> End of this age is about many will mock God and hate God and hate all who follow the truth ; the True Christ. This is a time when many who say they love Christ will be tested: for Those who Give their life for my name will have life eternal... as Jesus said... If you love money and the things of this world..you will NOT be willing to give it all up for God/Jesus If you love NOT the things of this earth...ie money and comforts but truly love GOD you will Give it all up and die for Jesus Christ... Many in the time of Tribulation will be asked to die for Christ for the world will HATE more and more those who TRULY love the Lord Are you ready?? |

In fact, they love to classify every other ancient tale as a myth except for theirs. they have been calling the gods of every other culture myths for hundreds of years, and now they want to get up in arms because some group called their god a myth?? Not only that, but almost every aspect of how they celebrate "christmas" was stolen from other religions around the world. biggest show of hypocrisy I have ever seen!!! perhaps only surpassed by christians, who have been at war with every other religion on earth for 1000 years, and who are responsible for the end of hundreds of religions, complaining that there is a "war on christianity" They are experts at the pot calling the kettle black!! They are the hypocrites |

Banned as usual. “It is far easier to be a weakling than to be a Real Man. Were the Earth less harsh or the circumstances of life less austere, man would destroy himself before the shrine of the languid goddess. Only Real Men can with safety destroy the tangled forests and wilderness of Earth and make from them gardens, but will those who inherit the gardens be Real Men? The law decrees that they must be, or the wilderness will reclaim its own.” |

Jews are a bunch of money hungry Zionists. Christians in general are a large group of hypocritical bible thumpers. I could go on but do you see where this is going? "B-but those people don't represent me!" Well I guess thats too bad that the majority are a bunch of tards and you just so happen to be the "normal" one, right?

I was accused of NOT allowing them to believe what they wanted to believe and being hateful and offending them... But I told them ...Jesus CHrist gave me, as a Christian, a great commission... to tell all of the good news of our Lord Jesus CHrist so that all will have life eternal in Heaven and love and follow Christ. The world will hate this way of thinking more and more so that in the times of Tribulation... many will want to put an end to Christians and Christianity... all will Hate them....

Most peoplemwho study jeebis and the time would realize that jebby was just a wannabe prophet and he was vuing fir popularity as any ither wannabe... I agree he died on the cross and couldnt do a single fucking miracle and when asked to show it he just said I don't stand on cermonies - no why? Because he couldnt do miracles becasue he was a man and his momma must have had an out of wedlock relationship to spawn him. Questions?.. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 554016 So what part of this definition is an attack on you or your religion? Bump for an answer. Is the bible story not traditional? is the story of jesus about a hero/savior? is it concerned with dieties? They aren't going to have an answer for you, they are sheep following the last sheep to teach them the sheeps ways. So blind to the truth that if they were talking to jesus himself, they would deny it. Because generally when the word "myth" is used in the context or subject of this thread, the definitions of myth are usually the ones you did not post.... 3. any invented story, idea, or concept: His account of the event is pure myth. 4. an imaginary or fictitious thing or person. 5. an unproved or false collective belief that is used to justify a social institution. Notice the key words in eah definition Invented imaginary fictitious false In this respect, the word myth would imply the belief in Jesus and/or the bible is "pick a word from the list above" In other words you are insulting anyone who believes. But you already knew this. I am no bible thumper but, it does say that in the last days, believers will be chatised and persecuted for their belief in Jesus. This sign/group appears to merely support deeper belief. |

Religion is an instrument of control. Even simple research would show you that it all has roots in what you currently define as godless and pagan. Xianism has been one of the most blood thirsty religions since its inception. Also, by many accounts, belief in Xianism has stagnated science and man by at least 1,000 years. You currently argue that that is not the "new" Xianism, and how Xianism has become different woth time, all warm and fuzzy... so how is it again that your God has changed his mind wherein Xianism is a more friendly religion? If that is not the case than what you did at your inception was based on man? Which means that you never followed the teachings of "god". The mental gymnastics that you employ into your beliefs are beyond logical and are for all intents and purposes corrupt... |

In the US, “atheists and the non-religious are made to feel like lesser Americans, or non-Americans.” And in at least seven US states, “constitutional provisions are in place that bar atheists from public office and one state, Arkansas, has a law that bars an atheist from testifying as a witness at a trial.” ---> read more [link to rt.com] |
