I struggle with contradictions of Christianity

I think Christianity is good intended; but it does this to people. Look at how we all argue. I will be the first to admit, when I read the NT all the passages about love and forgiveness, I can read them from a distance, but if I get too into it; something weird happens. I start to feel this..hatred and sickness inside myself, like I want to get away from it. ...
This is the dreaded guilt that Christians feel all over the place. I don't know where it comes from but, I know it's there, it drives people away.

I don't think people are ready for it. I think it's too much for them, or maybe impossible.

I also think they have forgotten the foundation of what it's about. The Jewish Hebrew foundations of it in their Bible, which is 3/4 times as long as the supplementary Christian one. You can argue with me if you want, this is just how I feel.
Feelings don't lie, and they tell you stuff.
I don't know what it is about NT, the things are good. I think it's so life rejecting though, it's in trying to be completely like that All the time. I think it is too life rejecting. All that leads into depression, I think that's maybe... where they got it wrong, I think that's what it is. Maybe it's meant to be taken in small doses. I don't know.
The lessons on love and forgiveness are real valuable, they are beautiful and touch the truth. They are incredibly powerful, but there needs to be a balance of living life rather than just self denying everything...That's the obvious problem. It leads to this sickness of the soul where you just shut down, and I have to do what's right.
I just think they crossed the line somewhere in the New Testament but - I'm not sure where. I think some of the stuff in NT is so powerful you can only use it in small doses.

Anyway, just live life & read the Bible!

There is nothing that says a Catholic can't be saved. It's the Catholic church which teaches damnable heresy. Individual Catholics are often good people.

[Adama]

Also Pascal was a Catholic. Many fundies think they got it wrong and are all going to hell, I believe you had some harsh words to say on those people also.

You know since you go about assuming anyone who doesn't believe in your imaginary friend hates your imaginary friend, rejects him and is a reprobate. I think every time you mention your invisible friend I will call you a child f***er. I mean those priests sure love f***ing little kids and your imaginary friend sure loves killing babies.

You child f***er.

And I will call you incontinent, fierce, trucebreaker, covenantbreaker, full of debate, and a false accuser of the brethren.

These also show how reprobates even reach for non sequiters to "prove" their points. Because Catholics priests are often pedophiles*, someone who believes in Jesus therefore must also be a pedophile. This conclusion does not follow from the premises but is merely a feeble and very weak attempt at slander because the writer is a malicious person.

Being filled with all unrighteousness: fornication, wickedness, maliciousness. Full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whispers, back biters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful.


*[It should also be noted that Catholicism is full of damnable heresy and idolatry and is in no way the true religion of God, and most of the pastors who are pedophiles come out from that "church" because false prophets and homosexuals and pedophiles are an overlapping group, as told to us in Jude and 2nd Peter. This is also why Buddhist monks rape young initiated monks who are defenseless. False prophets are often pedophile, rapists and homosexual, preferring male over female. This is explained explicitly in the Bible.]

And the dumbass takes sarcasm as serious. I don't actually think you are a child f***er, but as you have no problems spreading lies and bullshit for those who don't believe in your imaginary friend, I will return the favor. I am sure this is obvious to everyone else but you.
Which leads to yet another example of your inability to understand what is going on around you.

But hey, he is a child f***er so what can one expect.

Also "There is nothing that says a Catholic can't be saved. It's the Catholic church which teaches damnable heresy. Individual Catholics are often good people."
So people who follow a damnable heresy can be saved? Uh huh. Do you even know the meaning of the word damnable. If simply being good is enough to be saved than one doesn't need to believe does one but you have gone on record saying that isn't the case.


Also the stuff you call me either has no backing at all, based on your bullshit views and your love of an imaginary friend and or plain hypocritical.

OTOH you have repeatedly said that people who don't believe in your imignary friend deserve to be tortured forever.
I ripped apart your weak ass response and showed you for the fool that you are, for which you have no reply at least not one on target.
You have proclaimed that a mass murderer of babies is both just and worthy of your worship.

All you have on me really is that I think you are an idiot and hold evil f***ed up views. So basically I point out that you are shit and full of shit.

You call me
incontinent: I assume you mean as having no self control. However there are many bullshit threads I do not comment on so that isn't true. Also you keep repeating the same weak ass shit and I keep slamming you for it. Wouldn't it be you who is guilty on having no self control. Why shouldn't I post. Pointing out your idiocy could be helpful for other cultists, it's fun and it shows you to be a fool. You seem to have a lot of hubris if you think my not ripping you a new one about half the time you post garbage shows some lack of self control. So that's just bullshit. There is no reason for me not to keep slamming you. Lacking self control usually implies there is a reason to have control like drug use and the like. Really what sort of person accused another of lack of self control just because they keep pointing out that the first person is wrong and messed up. What is wrong with you. Oh right, you are a cultist.

"fierce"
You constantly lie about the nature of atheists and atheism. You constantly say things that are pure evil. Nothing wrong with being fierce. Thanks for the compliment.

"trucebreaker" Huh? I've never established a truce with you. I've never broken any truce I've made, not as far as you know anyway.

"covenantbreaker" What covenant have I ever broken? The one by your imaginary friend as stated in a book filled with contradictions and pure evil. Uh huh? Ohhh you got me there.

"full of debate"
This is a bad thing how? Creepy dude.

"false accuser of the brethren"
God kills babies, it is in the bible, that book you think is true. Killing babies is evil. So are many other things in the bible. You worship a baby killing evil shit. Or perhaps you were lying about being a Christian in which case any false accuser thing is your fault and you are not brethren.
As for the above, if you think baby killing is an act of a Just god, you are evil.
You are a moron, I demolished your position above as being not worthy of respect and continue to do so.

It seems everything that I have actually accused you of is true, not false. Everything you claim [I hate you, I hate god, I reject your imaginary friend etc] is total bullshit and I've explained it more than once how it can't logically be true yet you keep repeating it.

Thus I will start refering to you as a Child Molester. Of course because you are a moron you will think that I think you are an actual child molester because you are too dim witted to understand that I just just doing to you what you do to others and you will consider it a false accusation but meh.


To sum up. You are full of shit and everything you say about me is either wrong, or a compliment.
Everything I say about you is true and backed up with the only exception being an obvious example where I am following your lead.

You child f***er.

[Adama]

You're upset at God because He killed babies in the Old Testament? Believe me, there is far worse that happens to the soul in hell than what happens to the body as a cause of death. You hate God because He killed? You hate Him for that reason? That is the reason you ought to respect His great power to destroy. Obviously God is just and righteous. He holds sinners and their families accountable for up to four generations. When those people commit sins worthy of death before Him, and especially after He has warned them to stop. After they've ignored His warning, eventually He will destroy them. He demands justice. Your sin carries a deep penalty. Either submit to Jesus through faith and have your sins cleansed to receive eternal life, or continue in sin and have God destroy you.

Many of those terrible things in the Old Testament happened to show people who would live afterward just how God feels about those sins. God feels that certain sins are worthy of death and in history He destroyed cities who would not turn towards Him to believe and then stop committing abomination.

It's probably too late for you though. Any man who dares to call God evil will have a very steep penalty to pay. When we argue at the gate you'll remember these things you've written.

1. The so called 'pagans' or unbelievers historically and to this day, live in far more harmony than nature, which according to the bible is gods creations. Aren't Christians supposed to be moving towards the garden of Eden, not away from it?

2. Dont the 10 commandments say don't worship any idols before me? So whats with all this Jesus worship? How can you prove that this man called Jesus existed and was the son of god, when a simple exercise of Chinese whispers with more than 5 people doesn't work to pass on info accurately?

3. Where is all the wealth the Vatican accumulated since the dark ages, and why are they hoarding it? Surely if hell is real those bastards would be very very scared to go there, as I would be if i committed the Spanish inquisitions and to this day hoarded the greatest load of wealth and knowledge

4. How do i know that all the miracles and works which i think have merit, aren't just because of the masses of faithful who direct their beliefs onto the energy of our experience? Even quantum physics confirms that our perception is creating reality, have you considered its our own power not necessarily Jesus?

5. Why should you love your enemy, when he is literally going to kill you, as many globalists have done, and are actually doing? Have you considered you are being brainwashed into being a pacifist obedient slave and that the real hell will come to you when you don't protect your loved ones and communities from those who revel on domination over others?

6. Council of Nicea, council of Trent, and thats just what we are told, how can you put so much blind faith into something without questioning it?

Id appreciate some responses to these

1. No. The Garden of Eden was sinless at its creation. As long as sin remains in the world, we can never fully achieve the "Garden of Eden" that was lost. For sin brought death into the world and death through sin. You as a free agent have the ability to aspire to life (grow things) or aspire to chaos & death (destroy things). This is why when you die, you are judged for your works.

2. Good question. Secular Roman Historians speak of Jesus existence and "this cult of Christianity" that rose up. As for to prove Jesus Christ was God and should be worshipped, that is determined in the old testament. If you believe the New Testament was scripted in (a fake), but perhaps the old one is the real copy, then you still cannot get away with it. For Jesus Christ exists in every Chapter in the old testament. For example: Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac, was a model of God sacrificing his son Jesus Christ on a wooden cross. The innocent spotless lambs in the temple that needed to be sacrificed for the "removal of sins". The bronze serpent on a pole, that when the Jews looked at, were healed of their wounds. Jesus Christ is all over the old testament, not just the new.

3. I have pretty much no knowledge of the Vatican, but I don't understand how this contradicts Christianity and why it confuses you.

4. If that was the case, then this "healing energy" would be able to be invoked at our discretion. We should be able to duplicate it in mass and in 1 sitting session. We cannot. Jesus on the other hand, healed everyone that came to him, in mass, and in 1 meeting session.

5. Loving your enemy is not the same as "Don't defend yourself". You have to understand that all of God's creation, he wants to save. Men can choose otherwise, but other men are not the enemy, but spiritual enemies of darkness. When Christ came to the earth, he had plenty of enemies, and he saved some of them. For he came that people might repent.

6. I haven't heard of either of those and don't understand how they relate to Christanity. Perhaps you could explain more?

Adama, everything you are claiming is from a book written with second hand accounts, managed and controlled by possibly the most evil and vile institution in the history of the planet, an institute that would torture to death innocent children even in the most horrific ways that are hard to even imagine and worse than game of thrones skinning people alive, written of authors we don't even know the identities of, who didn't even live during the alleged time of Jesus's life, . There is information that points out to an influential roman family employing an influential jew in writing the new testament, and its easy to see that its very plausible that its a heavily edited, tightly controlled dogma used for the exercise of conversion and controlling the masses so they give over their spiritual power to worshiping an idol. Have you ever considered that the real demons are the zealots and missionaries who travel far and wide, have those who are living in harmony with nature and god give up the true teachings written by god himself via the natural world and cycles he created, abandoning both reason and balance and in turn having an artificial money oriented nature destroying culture put in its place?

Im sorry but if Christianity can't get things right in 2000 years, especially when the world is more disconnected from god, more satanic and more polluted and physically and naturally destroyed than ever before, perhaps it's time to question this very old and destructive dogma, and seek out the true teachings that fostered harmonious tribal community, certainly not perfect (as they failed to defend themselves against external threats like the Romans and the demonic missionaries) but certainly far more harmonious and happy than the universal money worship that has spread to all parts of the world today. I'm sorry but basing salvation on a book that could easily be a forgery and is most likely a tool of control and disempowerment controlled by the most evil vicious satanic group in history is not common sense

I challenge you and any member of this forum to watch the masterwork film documentary 'Kanyini' with link below , and dispute the obvious truth that the original people of Australia lived in harmony with god and his laws, until the 'Christian' colonists came and sought to destroy it all, and evidence points to there culture being almost totally free of warfare, abundant, happy and very very spiritual, as archaeology also shows us with evidence of the arratan people's in Ukraine 10000 years ago

If you are curious I love and have total faith in the supreme creator Lord, and I know he wouldn't have given me a love of truth and curiosity about the world if there wasn't a reason. We are made in his image for a reason, and Man can rise to great heights but only if we set ourselves free from the oceans of lies and deception around us, especially one that seeks to project all our spiritual power on possibly an occultism focal point that interestingly adds up to 13(JC)

There is no other proof needed that the supreme creator Lord loves us and desires for us to be happy than in the over the top abundance and nourishment of mind, body and soul provided for us in his TRUE and PERFECT work via the source of our physical body NATURE, the only perfect and undeniable truth that cannot be disputed, that gives us shelter, clothing, delicious food, and most importantly joy, laughter and love from happy families enjoying life and living in the natural state of abundance when we lived as the innocent children God desires for us to be. Then the Christians come, cut down the trees, enslave or kill the people and create a miserable disconnected satanic money worship religion of evil and mind control. Watch the film below and god will speak to you as he spoke to me through the indescribable feeling of love

Much of this is because you've accepted many false narratives as true. I will attempt to explain one or two of them here, but I cannot prove God to you.

The Catholic church takes credit for the Bible, but it has nothing to do with God, nothing to do with Christianity and nothing to do with Jesus. The Catholic church is blatant idolatry which God forbids. It worships Mary, forbids priests to marry, and commands other things which are against the Bible. Jesus tells us never to call a spiritual leader by the title Father, Master or Rabbi.

An organization that "wrote the Bible" would not allow for doctrines contained therein to defeat its doctrine. That is the Bible says things that already tell us Catholicism is NOT CHRISTIAN, because Jesus foretold us in the New Testament. So you know, as I have just proven to you, the Catholic church is not the author of the Bible.

The Catholic church claims it preserved the Bible, but they have a false version of it; a corrupted one. The Catholic church murdered those who had the true Bible and taught it as heretics. This is why all of Europe was Catholic. They literally tortured and murdered every other kind of Christian there was, on the authority of the Pope.

The Catholic church also charged for indulgences, inventing a way to get money from people. It is criminally evil in every sense, both earthly and ungodly evil.

Now I have proven to you the Catholic church is NOT of God.

So therefore we can remove all of the slanders against Christianity. Catholicism is not Christianity. It is just a cult surrounding the Pope, complete with gold pageantry, idolatry of statutes, prayers to false gods.


Also, I don't know about Australia, but most of those pagan religions practiced human sacrifice. They are all praise to demons. You can choose to accept or reject this.

You accept that creation is divine. The problem here is that you exalt creation but not the Creator. If you love creation, you must accept its Creator and praise Him. Because the earth is part of His glory. The earth is not without Him.

As for why I don't consider the other religions, as I have said before, other religions believe salvation is by works of righteousness that we do on our own. The problem with that is none of us are perfectly good and that we are all sinners. We can't wipe our own sins clean because we aren't perfectly good. The only one who is perfectly good is God. He lived a sinless life and died to pay for all our sins. All we have to do is put our complete trust in Him and His sacrifice for salvation, because we can't do it without Him. Every other religion says you can do it on your own. Christianity says all you have to do is trust in the Lord. I know that it is easier to trust in the Lord than to trust in my own works because I'm not perfectly good.

Forgot to add. Men penned the Bible but it was written under inspiration of the Holy Ghost. In other words, God is the true author of the Bible.

[Adama]

Also, even among Christians, only a few of them have found the narrow path to Jesus. Most "Christians" are not Christians at all because they haven't found the narrow path but are still on the broad path with agnostics, atheists and followers of false religions. The point here is that you can't say because the world was Christian therefore xyz. The world is full of false Christianity, with only a very tiny minority of Christians being truly Christians according to the Bible. Most Christians are just like a lighter version of atheist. They don't believe. They just go through the motions and pay lip service. But the whole time they never believe anything about Jesus. That's what most Christians are like. So it isn't true that Europe was Christian. It just had a semblance of godliness.

Today's Christianity is effectively a different religion from just a century ago. MGTOW would have things in common with monastic orders of the past. Hypocrisy is the core of Christianity, it is what defines it, without hypocrisy the religion would be dead. The problem with modern Christianity is it is toxic to men and boys. Modern Christianity caters to the vices of women at the expense of men. Red pill would be considered heresy in a modern Church as it exposes hypocrisies of women which is now a core dogma of Christianity.

[Shemp]

The issue is not debunking Christianity, that was done long ago, no need to repeat those arguments here. Paine's Age of Reason is a particularly amusing debunking, but there are scores of others.

No, the real issue is what sort of upbringing causes guys like Adama, Eric and Ghost, among others, to continue swallowing this shit at such a late time on history. Occasionally Eric, in one of his rants, talks about his stern father. I'd be curious about Adama's upbringing, and also current influences on Adama. What sort of guru had this poor guy under his control.

That's funny. I don't know much about Eric. But as for Ghost, he is more like you in that he is a reprobate. I would ask what happened to you in your youth to make you hate God, but I do see your posts: that you'd love to share a mistress with two or three other men while paying her $100 a day for the privilege, that you imagine you have a vaggina during masturbation, and that you've inserted things into your own secret place. Then that explains it for me. No more questions as to how or why you hate The Lord.

I'm not paying $100/day if I have share. Also, that rate is only for three months a year, since the rest of the year I'm by myself, so it's not as big a number as it seems, especially since I live very cheap when by myself. Alternation between 3 months debauchery and 9 months monastic existence, in other words. Easy to find women for less than $100/day, even without sharing, but I like to be generous during the 3 months debauchery.

I got this from Wiki. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Age_o ... _the_Bible

Paine's analysis of the Bible

After establishing that he would refrain from using extra-Biblical sources to inform his criticism, but would instead apply the Bible's own words against itself, Paine questions the sacredness of the Bible, analyzing it as one would any other book. For example, in his analysis of the Book of Proverbs he argues that its sayings are "inferior in keenness to the proverbs of the Spaniards, and not more wise and economical than those of the American Franklin".[22] Describing the Bible as "fabulous mythology", Paine questions whether or not it was revealed to its writers and doubts that the original writers can ever be known (he dismisses the idea that Moses wrote the Pentateuch or that the Gospel's authors are known, for example).

My intention is to show that those books are spurious, and that Moses is not the author of them; and still further, that they were not written in the time of Moses, nor till several hundred years afterward; that they are no other than an attempted history of the life of Moses, and of the times in which he is said to have lived, and also of the times prior thereto, written by some very ignorant and stupid pretenders to authorship, several hundred years after the death of Moses.[23][24] [...] The books called the Evangelists, and ascribed to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, were not written by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John; ...they have been manufactured, as the books of the Old Testament have been by other persons than those whose names they bear.[25]

Using methods that would not become common in Biblical scholarship until the nineteenth century, Paine tested the Bible for internal consistency and questioned its historical accuracy, concluding that it was not divinely inspired.

Paine also argues that the Old Testament must be false because it depicts a tyrannical God. The "history of wickedness" pervading the Old Testament convinced Paine that it was simply another set of human-authored myths.[26] He deplores people's credulity: "Brought up in habits of superstition," he wrote, "people in general know not how much wickedness there is in this pretended word of God." Citing Numbers 31:13–47 as an example, in which Moses orders the slaughter of thousands of boys and women, and sanctions the rape of thousands of girls, at God's behest,[27] Paine calls the Bible a "book of lies, wickedness, and blasphemy; for what can be greater blasphemy than to ascribe the wickedness of man to the orders of the Almighty!"[28]

I bet Mr Paine is getting to experience God's wrath firsthand right now. I would also wonder, RF, whether or not Paine was a complete and total pervert like the rest of the reprobates who hate God, but I already know the answer to that one.

I just read Numbers 31:13–47. God does not command rape. And if there is a King somewhere who commands for His enemies to be killed, how is that not considered righteous? Since when do people say that those who have crossed THE KING can't be killed by The King's decree? If God is the King of Kings, and He is, then He can order the execution of those who have sinned against Him.

It's also clear that Paine simply hated God. That's probably because he was a total pervert doing all kinds of things a man should not do, loving those things more than Jesus. It probably all seems worth it, but it's just filthy and disgusting.
