@churchtalkative If God is love he can't punish us for disobeying, because that would mean he values the thing that we didn't do more than us. But there have to be consequences still, otherwise the world sinks into chaos. So he punished himself instead.

Why did Jesus have to die?

@darwintojesus Aionius does not mean eternal, but undefined time or era. There is a word for eternity in terms of chronological, which wasn't used: aidios.

Don’t waste eternity.

@MartinTweats I don't think it's possible to ground "good" moral in god either. God ordered the cleansing of the Amalekites, including innocent children and babies. We think it must be good, because God ordered it, although we don't understand it. Therefore how can we understand good?

By what moral standard are you using the term, "good"?

@realMaalouf Because it's the current virtue signaling thing that the legacy media programmed their NPCs to promote.

Can anyone help me understand this, because I genuinely don’t get it. LGBT are imprisoned, tortured, and killed in ‘Palestine.’ So how come the LGBT community is one of the biggest supporters of Palestine?

@LeonardBriscoe3 He couldn't even give everyone money because his worth is in assets like stocks and his companies etc...

There are over 7 billion people in the world, if he gave everyone a billion dollars he would still have 343 billion left and world poverty would end. Let that sink in. x.com/wyomelo/status…

@DrNeilStone Stating theories on social media makes them true...

@mary_got_grace So breathing and stretching and thinking about stuff is witchcraft? Got it, don't be human then I guess?

The Bible is very clear about witchcraft and sorcery. Do not touch it. Transcendental meditation, tarot, oracle cards, breath work, yoga, crystals, runes, pendulums, psychic readings, manifesting. Do not play with dark forces. Do not invite them in. Trust in God alone.

@anchoredso37497 What you talk about is not evidence, it's just a story that could be true or not. There are hundreds of similar stories all claiming to be true, but in the end nobody knows for sure. Atheism is also an idea that could be true or not, but they admit they don't know for sure.

Christians do not have the burden of proof. The burden of proof lies upon Atheists. Christians have all of existence as proof, plus a Bible written over 1500 years by 40 authors across 3 continents in 3 languages with one coherent message that clearly explains life. That is not a claim requiring proof. That is evidence requiring a response. Atheism is not the neutral default. It is a positive claim about all of reality—and it carries an enormous explanatory debt. Atheists must make a positive case for every one of these: - Only matter exists. - Matter created itself or always existed. - Life arose without intelligence. - The universe fine-tuned itself. - Reason and conscience are trustworthy without a rational source. - Every civilization in history was wrong. (And why their atheist position is a minority and historically anomalous) God explains the data. Atheism must explain it away.

@MalcangiSarah Please research how humans form believes. It's not choice...

@JoeBenderfromFL @_masterymindset That's limited ancient roman fear propaganda to keep the common folks down. Manifesting is just neutral. Your filter will focus on your beliefs and everything is connected thus you will be drawn to it. Beliefs work through repetition that's why Jesus taught the Lord's prayer.

It’s called Satanism—the stuff of Aleister Crowley, et al. The Bible says that it ‘works,’ if you want to have nice things in this world and go to Hell afterwards. The sorcerers were able to turn staves into snakes before Pharaoh, Moses, and Aaron. The witch of Endor successfully presaged Saul’s death by conjuring the spirit of Samuel. Samuel asks Saul ‘Why have you done this evil?’ The Baal worshippers of Mesopotamia/Moab were able to use divination to manipulate spiritual forces, albeit they were evil and inferior to God. The like applies to the Chaldean astrologers in the Book of Daniel. It’s very llllllliberal.

He literally explained How to manifest with little no effort.

@KR3Wmatic Testimonies mean nothing. If he designed people in a way that they aren't convinced by testimonies what should they do? Believe is not a choice. You can't decide to magically genuinely believe another religion is true and yours is false for the next 5 weeks.

Atheists, what would you say if you stood in front of God, and he asked you why you didn't believe in him in spite of all the testimonies given?

@MasterMaliq Religions are man made constructs, trying to, but incapable of correctly describing God and the universe due to limitations in language, knowledge and consciousness.

If Prophet Muhammad was alive today preaching Islam EXACTLY like he did 1400 years ago raw unfiltered no sugarcoating half the non-Muslims screaming “Islam is dangerous” would’ve already converted to Islam.

@simper_logia @deron_ice47036 @_OKJ__ 7) I still believe in God and have no problem following Jesus and the golden rule. I just think religions cramp God into a limited box and the outdated interpretations of scriptures need constant evaluation to meet humanity's level of consciousness.

@simper_logia @deron_ice47036 @_OKJ__ 6) I was Christian for over 30 years, active in church, worshipping in a band etc. There are hundreds of Ex pastors and ex Christians that went through a dark night of the soul or deconstruction phase like this, you guys are just unable to imagine it's possible.

Yesterday I posted a fictional dialogue that culminated in a dilemma for Christianity. Ironically, most of the Christian responses only convinced me that the argument is even stronger and more difficult to escape than I originally thought. In simple terms, the dilemma is this….either people who never heard of Jesus, Christianity, or the Gospel can still make Heaven, or they are condemned to Hell purely because of ignorance of something they never had access to or heard about. Think about the billions of people throughout history who never even had the opportunity to hear of Christianity before and AFTER Jesus …Native Americans before European contact, isolated tribes in the Amazon or Sentinel Island, ancient Chinese dynasties, precolonial Africans, Indigenous Australians…..entire civilizations that lived and died before the Gospel ever reached them. Even today, there are still remote groups all over the world who have never encountered Christianity or the gospel. If such people can still be saved without knowledge of Jesus or the Gospel, then Christianity as religion and Christian evangelism becomes irrelevant and unecessary for salvation BY DEFINITION. At that point, salvation depends on sincerity, morality, conscience, or how one lives ….not on accepting Christ, believing the Gospel, or even knowing Christanity exists. Gladly, almost every Christian who responded rejected the idea that these people automatically go to Hell. Most instead argued that God judges them “by the light they had,” “by their hearts,” or “by how they lived.” But that only strengthens the conclusion that Christianity is unnecessary for salvation. Other Christians appealed to verses about Jesus descending to preach to the dead. But this does not solve the dilemma either. If people can accept salvation after death without ever hearing the Gospel in their lifetime, then earthly evangelism and preaching of the gospel becomes unnecessary…also this explanation only counts for people who were already dead at the time of Jesus.. not the hundreds of millions that never encountered the gospel after his alleged resurrection and ascension. Worse, it raises another problem…..many people would actually be in a BETTER position never hearing Christianity at all, since exposure to competing doctrines, denominations, fear based preaching, or disbelief could supposedly place them at greater risk…regardless of how they lived their lives. A risk they wouldn’t have had if they just lived their lives. Some Christians then retreat to the usual “Gods ways are mysterious,” but mystery is not a solution to a contradiction . The dilemma still stands. If ignorance of Christianity can still lead to salvation, Christianity is not necessary for salvation. If ignorance condemns people eternally for circumstances beyond their control, thenthe Christian soteriological system is deeply unjust. Have a beautiful week!

@simper_logia @_OKJ__ 5) We supposedly need the Holy Spirit for correct interpretation but why make it so complicated? We have no way of knowing if we have him, because even the devil can appear as an angel and deceive us. It just seems like a big mess.

@simper_logia @_OKJ__ 4) Why are there errors in the Bible at all? Doesn't that open Pandora's box and we have to question everything? Why did Jesus say he talks in parables and we still take verses literally?
