Finally, the basic premise of Christianity is that once you sin you owe an infinite debt to God which you can never repay. — Gregory
It'd be really weird if it wasn't. The "Christ Cult", canonized and creedally begat down massacred & martyred millennia, is a burned witches' brew of dogmaticWouldn't it be weird if Satanism was really inherent within Christianity? — Gregory
(emphasis added)The very word 'Christianity' is a misunderstanding -- at bottom there was only one Christian, and he died on the cross. — The Antichrist (1888)
I don’t think you would say that “striving” is the only form of action, — Emma
From what I understand based on my friends and family who are catholoic and/or have attended Catholic schools, communion is regarded as a metaphorical action, no one is intending to eat the flesh of a human being. — Emma
he Christian God did not command murder in the New Testament , Christianity is not pro-murder. — Emma
Finally, your paragraph regarding guilt and repentance seems odd to me. First of all, from my understanding, karma is a part of Hinduism and Buddhism, not Christianity so it doesn’t seem relevant to this particular conversation. Secondly, you use “guilt” in two different ways. The first time you use it, it seems to be referring to someone being guilty of something versus the second time you use it, it seems that you’re using guilt as a sort of emotion we humans feel when we do something wrong. Regarding the latter definition, Jesus’s sacrifice was not to help Christians feel less guilty or shameful, it was to free Christians from eternal damnation. I am not quite sure what your argument is trying to accomplish, but many parts of it seem incorrect.
Thanks for your time! — Emma
Pope Francis, in the new Catechism's teaching that capital punishment is evil, has done what he has to do to curb the violence of Christians. Christians are always whinning that they are persecuted, but they are persecuted because they are trolls. — Gregory
However, he never has nor never will strive because striving is a sign of an imperfect nature for a Christian. — Gregory
Catholics believe in ritual required cannibalism. — Gregory
Therefore within Christianity you must kill ANYONE God tells you too. — Gregory
This attempt to avoid guilt and shame is the ultimate example of the Satanic nature of Christianity for me. — Gregory
You make the claim that if God were to strive, then he would be imperfect. — Josh Vasquez
God sent Jesus Christ to earth and Jesus by no means lived an “easy” life. — Josh Vasquez
I would hardly say this is cannibalism. — Josh Vasquez
If the God of the Israelites is the one and true God then it would be foolish for them to disobey his commands simply because they see it as “wrong”. Additionally, you are assuming that God is ordering the Israelites to kill without reasoning. Is there a particular instance where you God commands the Israelites to kill a certain people, but completely void of reason? Are you saying God has no reason or purpose or are you saying those reasons don’t align with what you believe to be right? — Josh Vasquez
we have sinned against God and owe a debt that we cannot pay which means we will be punished, however, Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross was enough to bear the entire debt of our sin and when we trust in him we too have life like he does. In other words, there is most certainly a second chance, but it can only be found through Christ’s sacrifice. — Josh Vasquez
1. If God were to strive – which means to exert himself vigorously or try hard – for anything, then it
would make him imperfect in nature
2. God is not imperfect in nature
3. Therefore, God does not strive (1,2 MT)
4. If God does not strive, then that entails he is lazy
5. Laziness is not a Godly virtue but a Satanic one
6. Therefore, Satan is inherent in God — Josh Vasquez
The substance view of God that Christians have is illogical, for how can a person be striving, working, fighting, and doing in itself? A person can't just be those things. But I don't really care though what people think or want to think. I like to send my ideas out into the world though. Christians can expect no end to their toil — Gregory
