Live your life, do no harm to others, seems to me a good policy and requires no subservience to some supernatural being that, based on evidence, does not exist. Wrong.

What is your alternative? There doesn't have to be an alternative. This is how EVERY person should live. We all know Christians who cheat on their wives, cheat on their taxes, covet your new car, are greedy, etc. So living for Jesus, as you say, does not make you perfect. America is a Christian nation, and look around you. IF Jesus was REALLY living in the hearts of most people, would we see the crime and poverty that we do? Maybe you do love your neighbor as yourself, but so do I. I am an atheist and loving your neighbor is just common sense. I don't need some book to teach me morals. I am not an atheist so I can sin. That is just stupid. I am an atheist because all my questions were answered by being one. You could look at a country like Denmark where the people are largely atheist, and they have a much lower crime rate than in America. If you have a wonderful love filled life, that is fine. So do I. But I don't need to believe in a fantasy to have that. I can appreciate this life I have and be a good person and I don't need to depend on a crutch. I am brave to admit to myself that I won't live after death so I do enjoy this life I have and appreciate it. Do you understand? I do understand but what if Jesus is real and when you die you don't enter oblivion and there is a day in which you stand before God. Either way I am alright. That's what I meant. You are living a good and honorable life too. Not because you have but because you want to. That is the very same reason I do. The reason you don't see all Christians live as Jesus taught is that they might not be living with Jesus yet. I don't know anyone else's story but my own.

Christians are followers of Paul rather than Jesus. 100% of them. No exception. If they believe that the Teaching of Jesus includes the understanding that the Doctrine of "resurrection" is a Doctrine of 'Rebirth', they cannot be Christians. They are, instead, followers of Jesus.

4Q529 User ID: 34393682 United States 02/14/2013 12:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Think you got your definitions mixed up. Followers of Jesus have been persecuted since the crucifixion. Whatever happened to the Gnostics? Eliminated from the pages of history, many of their writings destroyed as both heretical and treasonous when Christianity became the state religion. Whatever happened to the Albigensians and the Bogomiles? Exterminated by the tens of thousands by agents of the Roman church because, like Jesus, they taught the Doctrine of "resurrection" as a Doctrine of 'Rebirth'. Whatever happened to the indigenous populations of the Americas and the Pacific islands and Australia, and the black peoples of Africa? Christians have been the persecutors rather than the persecuted. Michael |

I ask you, do you know who started the still theory of evolution? Atheist: Why does that matter? Christian: How do we know that this man was credible? How do we know that he was mentality stable or if he was in fact a Freemason? You atheists claim that us believers have not seen the beginning, but yet fail to apply the exact same fact to yourselves. Atheist:.... Christian: Why the sudden hush? You claim that evolution explains everything, but yet that belief was started by just one man. Lets say that I was rich. I could start my own belief system and gather "proof" as to why it's the only valid belief, but does it make me correct? I can assure you, that I'd have many followers regardless. Atheists suffer from pride. They feel the need to be right or assertive in what they choose to believe, but at the end of the day, they are no different than the ones that they mock. Furthermore, upon asking for proof, atheists then cower away with insults as to why the believer is deluded. Atheist: Okay, where's my proof? Christian: Be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins and to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Do that and Lord willing, come back and tell me that God does not exist. If not, then you are no longer a credible source for your belief. To add one more thing, ponder on this. Atheists claim to abhor all religion, but they all have an uncanny knack for only disrespecting the Christian God. They completely ignore the Greek gods, Hindu gods, wiccan gods, Egyptian gods, etc. Why is that??? I'll tell you why: Albert Pike on World War 3 "The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time." - Albert Pike (33'rd Degree Freemason) Jude 1:17-19 KJV But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; [18] How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. [19] These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. That's right, atheism and Islam were created for one purpose. To destroy the only TRUE religion, TRUE (not modern) Christianity. Believe me, we can see the evil that lurks within you atheists. As soon as the spiritual switch is flipped, you all will fulfill your purpose. But, hey, what if I'm wrong? I suppose when the NWO comes to kill you and your family, you will allow them to die, because you are oh SO certain that there is no afterlife right??? *grins* Atheist:.....: You are obviously an idiot. Did you read what Albert Pike wrote??? He says that CHRISTIANITY will be destroyed at the same time as atheism. Do you not even understand this simple statement. Christianity is a lie, that is what Pike is saying. It was created to control peons like you, and it does its job well. Albert PIke is part of the Masons. And if you read what he said, which you obviously didn't, it says that the CHRISTIANS will exterminate the atheists. So Christians are obviously barbarians who would never turn the other cheek, but they LOVE Jesus. What a hoot. You are completely wrong about everything you said. You need to go take a college course in evolution, but I wouldn't imagine you would be intelligent enough to pass the course. Christianity seems to be for really stupid people, who want a simple solution, and don't want to ask questions. If someone tells you that god loves you, you can run with that. Grow up. I don't believe in ANY gods. I don't believe in the older Egyptian gods, or the gods of the Hindu or Buddhism or any other religion. But these people are usually not on here with their arrogant attitudes like Christians are. Christians are the most arrogant people on this board. You think some god loves you so that gives you the right to come here and throw shit. No one cares about your religion, except other CHristians. But you always put your nose in every conversation about religion. You don't see people of other religions doing this very often. Genius...you just told all those here the nature of the problem. Those others are not targets for "Spiritual Warfare", why? They have no "Spiritual Value" to the enemy. You are really brilliant and probably don't realize it. You did forget to mention Christ is the only threat to the "Enemy". Thus the attacks. The attacks are from within and from without. Both in men and organized powerful religions. Christ's Light over exposes evil....thus the hate for God and Christ, it is built into us...it is called enmity. |

Or what if Allah is the correct God and you burn in hell because you were born in the wrong country. There are tons of different gods, even tons of denominations of Christians. For instance, all Mormons think they are practicing the one true religion. Do you honestly sit around and worry about the fact that you may go to hell because you never worshiped in the Mormon church? I don't worry about such things as dying and going to hell. I know one thing though, ANY god who creates a place of permanent torture for his "beloved" children is NOT a good God. That God would be a demon and there would be no way to trust such a deity. So maybe you should worry about that? Do you only worship your god out of extreme fear? That is not love, by the way. Could you torment your beloved son or daughter for a day? I'll bet you couldn't, and yet this God that you worship does this to people forever??? How can you reconcile your belief in God with that? How do you do that? |

So how many people did Satan kill? Well, that would be easy...10 people, Job's family. But first he had to get permission from God to kill them and, of course, God said yes. You are worshiping a creature that killed all the first born CHILDREN of Egypt. He didn't have to but he wanted to. He blinded the eyes of the Pharaoh so that he wouldn't let the people go. God killed 70,000 people because David did a census. He killed David's baby because of David and Bathsheba's sin? There is a verse in Psalms: "Happy is he who takes your child and bashes his head against the rocks." So, apparently, God loves to kill innocent children and babies to punish the guilty. Is this REALLY the God you worship? Who is the real enemy? God permits slavery. He told Moses to kill a man who simply picked up some sticks on Sunday/Saturday, depending on the branch of cult you belong to. He tells YOU to kill all unbelievers and all children who are disobedient and everyone who works on the Sabbath. But you don't listen to those old rules, do you? So before you come on here and act like an idiot, remember that those who believe absurdities are looked at as idiots by most normal people. |

So many issues with the entire thing such as; He repeatedly stated he was the "son of man", you may have a edited version. He constantly said "man is sin", which does not go with statement above well, I am man, am sin.... He also made statements like "I will say I knew you not". Not very promising for one that might devote their lives to such a cause. Then the "I brought a sword" etc, etc, many statements which sound good on the surface yet with a bit of critical thinking it looks a bit different. Believe what you want. I believe the story, I believe the statements, however I don't pick and choose which ones, its all or nothing and when its all on the table it paints a different picture, than you hear in church.

Atheist:.... Yes... Christian: So, if humans are flawed, then atheists are just as guilty as believers, for putting their faith in man made creation and or beliefs. I ask you, do you know who started the still theory of evolution? Atheist: Why does that matter? Christian: How do we know that this man was credible? How do we know that he was mentality stable or if he was in fact a Freemason? You atheists claim that us believers have not seen the beginning, but yet fail to apply the exact same fact to yourselves. Atheist:.... Christian: Why the sudden hush? You claim that evolution explains everything, but yet that belief was started by just one man. Lets say that I was rich. I could start my own belief system and gather "proof" as to why it's the only valid belief, but does it make me correct? I can assure you, that I'd have many followers regardless. Atheists suffer from pride. They feel the need to be right or assertive in what they choose to believe, but at the end of the day, they are no different than the ones that they mock. Furthermore, upon asking for proof, atheists then cower away with insults as to why the believer is deluded. Atheist: Okay, where's my proof? Christian: Be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins and to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Do that and Lord willing, come back and tell me that God does not exist. If not, then you are no longer a credible source for your belief. To add one more thing, ponder on this. Atheists claim to abhor all religion, but they all have an uncanny knack for only disrespecting the Christian God. They completely ignore the Greek gods, Hindu gods, wiccan gods, Egyptian gods, etc. Why is that??? I'll tell you why: Albert Pike on World War 3 "The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time." - Albert Pike (33'rd Degree Freemason) Jude 1:17-19 KJV But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; [18] How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. [19] These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. That's right, atheism and Islam were created for one purpose. To destroy the only TRUE religion, TRUE (not modern) Christianity. Believe me, we can see the evil that lurks within you atheists. As soon as the spiritual switch is flipped, you all will fulfill your purpose. But, hey, what if I'm wrong? I suppose when the NWO comes to kill you and your family, you will allow them to die, because you are oh SO certain that there is no afterlife right??? *grins* Atheist:.....: You are obviously an idiot. Did you read what Albert Pike wrote??? He says that CHRISTIANITY will be destroyed at the same time as atheism. Do you not even understand this simple statement. Christianity is a lie, that is what Pike is saying. It was created to control peons like you, and it does its job well. Albert PIke is part of the Masons. And if you read what he said, which you obviously didn't, it says that the CHRISTIANS will exterminate the atheists. So Christians are obviously barbarians who would never turn the other cheek, but they LOVE Jesus. What a hoot. You are completely wrong about everything you said. You need to go take a college course in evolution, but I wouldn't imagine you would be intelligent enough to pass the course. Christianity seems to be for really stupid people, who want a simple solution, and don't want to ask questions. If someone tells you that god loves you, you can run with that. Grow up. I don't believe in ANY gods. I don't believe in the older Egyptian gods, or the gods of the Hindu or Buddhism or any other religion. But these people are usually not on here with their arrogant attitudes like Christians are. Christians are the most arrogant people on this board. You think some god loves you so that gives you the right to come here and throw shit. No one cares about your religion, except other CHristians. But you always put your nose in every conversation about religion. You don't see people of other religions doing this very often. Genius...you just told all those here the nature of the problem. Those others are not targets for "Spiritual Warfare", why? They have no "Spiritual Value" to the enemy. You are really brilliant and probably don't realize it. You did forget to mention Christ is the only threat to the "Enemy". Thus the attacks. The attacks are from within and from without. Both in men and organized powerful religions. Christ's Light over exposes evil....thus the hate for God and Christ, it is built into us...it is called enmity. What enemy are you talking about, idiot? I hope it isn't Satan. Go read your Bible because it is obvious you haven't done that yet. Count how many people GOD killed in the Bible. If you count the flood and Sodom and Gomorrah and all the men, women, children, infants, etc., you would come up with a very high number....about 2 million as an estimate. So how many people did Satan kill? Well, that would be easy...10 people, Job's family. But first he had to get permission from God to kill them and, of course, God said yes. You are worshiping a creature that killed all the first born CHILDREN of Egypt. He didn't have to but he wanted to. He blinded the eyes of the Pharaoh so that he wouldn't let the people go. God killed 70,000 people because David did a census. He killed David's baby because of David and Bathsheba's sin? There is a verse in Psalms: "Happy is he who takes your child and bashes his head against the rocks." So, apparently, God loves to kill innocent children and babies to punish the guilty. Is this REALLY the God you worship? Who is the real enemy? God permits slavery. He told Moses to kill a man who simply picked up some sticks on Sunday/Saturday, depending on the branch of cult you belong to. He tells YOU to kill all unbelievers and all children who are disobedient and everyone who works on the Sabbath. But you don't listen to those old rules, do you? So before you come on here and act like an idiot, remember that those who believe absurdities are looked at as idiots by most normal people. You say; "What enemy are you talking about, idiot? I hope it isn't Satan." Do really think all the vitriol here is from Satan? You are going a long a dangerous path my friend in creation. You are sympathizing with that that killed you and convinced you he didn't. Bamboozled, you, hook, line and sinker. Do you know how deep that fishing hole is? The problem was and is idols,everywhere. As was and is pedophilia, they hide that now as much as posible. God will reveal all in due time, notice all the child abuse cases and stories proliferating. After thousands of yrears. The Gig is up! We will leave a light on for ya! You will change your tune..in time. |

Quoting: soldier32 1557116 Then what? What if you don't believe and its all real? Is it not better to believe and go to heaven then not to believe and go to hell. If its not real nothing lost, but if it is you and many other's are screwed. Christians use this reasoning all of the time. Believing something "just in case" isn't going to save you if Christianity is real. Are you really using this as a form of "witnessing" to the so called "sinners" of the world? In revelation it says that it is better to be either hot or cold, lukewarm gets you vomited out of Jesus mouth. How do you know your way of thinking doesn't make you lukewarm? That would put you in the hot seat. |

But, in fact, Jesus wrote the Thanksgiving Hymns of the Dead Sea Scrolls; a fact which, however, the media will never publicize because it would threaten the multi-billion dollar interests of Christianity, Inc. People could then go to read the Thanksgiving Hymns instead of getting Pd.D. in Christian theology, and buying worthless books about Christianity's speculations about the Teaching of Jesus.

A Friend User ID: 33849161 United States 02/14/2013 03:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: A Friend Even if it was all a scam and I am living as Jesus would want me to live with all my love in my heart, my mind, my soul and my strength for God and to love my neighbor as I do myself, I am still living a wonderful love filled life that is full of daily joy. What is your alternative? There doesn't have to be an alternative. This is how EVERY person should live. We all know Christians who cheat on their wives, cheat on their taxes, covet your new car, are greedy, etc. So living for Jesus, as you say, does not make you perfect. America is a Christian nation, and look around you. IF Jesus was REALLY living in the hearts of most people, would we see the crime and poverty that we do? Maybe you do love your neighbor as yourself, but so do I. I am an atheist and loving your neighbor is just common sense. I don't need some book to teach me morals. I am not an atheist so I can sin. That is just stupid. I am an atheist because all my questions were answered by being one. You could look at a country like Denmark where the people are largely atheist, and they have a much lower crime rate than in America. If you have a wonderful love filled life, that is fine. So do I. But I don't need to believe in a fantasy to have that. I can appreciate this life I have and be a good person and I don't need to depend on a crutch. I am brave to admit to myself that I won't live after death so I do enjoy this life I have and appreciate it. Do you understand? I do understand but what if Jesus is real and when you die you don't enter oblivion and there is a day in which you stand before God. Either way I am alright. That's what I meant. You are living a good and honorable life too. Not because you have but because you want to. That is the very same reason I do. The reason you don't see all Christians live as Jesus taught is that they might not be living with Jesus yet. I don't know anyone else's story but my own. Well, if you were living in India, you would be a Hindu today. So what if they are correct about their many gods and Jesus was just a myth. Or what if Allah is the correct God and you burn in hell because you were born in the wrong country. There are tons of different gods, even tons of denominations of Christians. For instance, all Mormons think they are practicing the one true religion. Do you honestly sit around and worry about the fact that you may go to hell because you never worshiped in the Mormon church? I don't worry about such things as dying and going to hell. I know one thing though, ANY god who creates a place of permanent torture for his "beloved" children is NOT a good God. That God would be a demon and there would be no way to trust such a deity. So maybe you should worry about that? Do you only worship your god out of extreme fear? That is not love, by the way. Could you torment your beloved son or daughter for a day? I'll bet you couldn't, and yet this God that you worship does this to people forever??? How can you reconcile your belief in God with that? How do you do that? You bring up many good questions that I don't have the answer for. I do know when I get I chance I will ask some of them and more. One thing I do know is that Jesus said that I am the "only" way. None of the other belief systems claim that at least that I know of. Also, I don't belong to a denomination of a religion. I have a personal relationship with a living person. I know I do because I know Him personally. First I accepted Him. Then I began to recognize Him. I don't have blind faith based upon fear or a book. I have communion with a loving being who I know personally.
