Repent Sinners! Is it all we think?
SpaceCommand Offer Upgrade User ID: 1009022 United States 03/31/2012 07:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Repent Sinners! Is it all we think? Did anyone think for a moment how confusing and wrong this statement would have been for the perfect Jesus, myth or real? He would have had nothing to repent and while his society had abundant pressures to go along to get along. How many Christians once redeemed and freed from sin, are asked to "repent," all over again? Does anyone understand the Apotheosis here? That the word "Christian," means little Christ? Does anyone remember Jesus said "you will do greater things than this?" But all we seem to get is phony "miracles," greedy pastors who alway want money and would tell us "otherwise you go to hell or purgutory," if they could get away with it. How is that different from the practice of granting indulgences? A psychopath would never repent of his "sins," except to pretend to be moral and good, no matter how bad they are. Do so called Christians preach war and death, when Jesus is so abundantly known as the "Prince of Peace?" Well go into the mountains as Jesus did, and find the heavenly father yourself. No temples necessary, no sins, no sacrifices, only redemption.

One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace. One is the English system; the other ... the American system, for ... elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world."

The entire Bible from one end to the other is primitive tribal bullshit. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1082682 The intention of this post is to lead people into an allegory of their beliefs that is suited to inspire, rather than defraud people. Now whether this is a myth or closer to the facts and truth is obscured by scallywags, sycophants, and liars our for the usual control freak dilemma. One can test for themselves that many of the statements in the bible work very very well on individuals. When groups involve supposition of faith without facts, the herd takes over without the benefit of discernment. Yes so one can lay in an armchair and say "bullshit," but why is this a problem in the reader rather than in the writer? You can go into many hotel rooms and find a bible. The task is to draw upon the best of it, to arrive upon your own fulfillment. Then you are able to share that feeling with others. It is hardly "tribal," nowadays but big business. Also your Scowfield reference Bible can be interpreted as a great source of misery, considering its emphasis upon an apocalypse, very convenient for bankers lending our money for wars and strangling the best of nations.
