No more stupid than christianity. I have a measure of respect for both. But I don't think either has a firm grasp on the truth

.Enlighten us as to your version of "The Truth," Backed up by facts.

I was as cynical about Jesus as anybody else on this thread before I became a Christian. That was mainly due to a lack of information, assumptions, and misinformation that I had heard from friends, family, priests, "religious people", etc etc. It is a matter of faith, not facts. Faith in God is between you and God. Religion is man made, and subject to all the flaws and mistakes that prevail in everything else touched by mankind. My faith is based on my willingness to believe the Bible, which I consider to be the inspired word of God, left here to guide us since Jesus' departure. And yes, he is coming back. NOBODY knows the time or place, but he will be here...someday. If I am right, I will find out on that day. If I am wrong, I will find out when it doesn't happen, or I will just be dead.

Hey,

isn't the understanding that before Jesus apparently comes..............

Jesus Christ indicated that false religion produces bad works, just as a "rotten tree produces worthless fruits" (Matthew 7:15-17)

Jesus warned: "Every tree not producing fine fruit gets cut down and thrown to the fire" (Matthew 7:19)

Revelation 17:18;18:12, 13,23
'all the nations are misled.'
...is harlot a worldwide religion entity?
She depicts, not any one religion, but all religions that produce rotten fruit????

The beast that the harlot rides pictures the world's political powers???

False religion straddles the back of this political beast, attempting to influence its decisions and to control its direction??

The ten horns that you saw, and the wild beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her devastated and naked, and will eat up her fleshy parts and will completely burn her with fire????

The worlds political powers will turn on false religion and completely destroy her???

What must we do if we do not want to share the fate of false religion??
Get out of her, my people....the only haven is with true religion???

Whatever,
does the end of false religion happen before Jesus apparently comes back???

I may be an infidel, but I know what I believe and what I beeleave is right.

Jesus is coming back... I just don't know when... Cloe has not communicated that information from the IPU's.

To answer your questions, In my opinion, the only people who believe in Jesus are

1 Those who can't belive in them selves
2 Who need a ficticious character to whom they can pass the blame for their problems

Now I know I am more intelligent than 3.4 billion persons

That's a sad statement. And also extremely false.

And, no, I do not believe in Jesus or God, or Mohammed, or anything else for that matter.

I do know some very intelligent people who are also very religious.

Sad, nothing sad about it, If the church renamed it's self as a social club or a charity I would back it.
I cannot understand how so called intelligent people can believe in such mumbo jumbo.

That is a paradox

Exactly my point about intelligence. You do understand that religion and church are different things....I hope.

Which means you can easily enter into a discussion with me, since I don't believe in God, so can hardly be a religious fanatic.

Just had to mention that you were wrong (IMO) in your original statement

Oh I understand it oh to well, in this case my definition of a paradox is "An obsurd statment that may be true" hence a paradox

could share my testimony...but the Bible specifically mentions not sharing something "sacred" with people who will just try and rip it apart.

Please quote the chapter and verse about not sharing.

Let's see. Self employed- fixing the screw ups of those who call themselves carpenters.

Own my own place.

Grow and preserve my own food.

At 52 yr. old, ran a 15k in 1:13

Can fix my own vehicle.

Can build a house from the ground up

Spent 10 months touring the western US at the age of 43 on $8,000.

Have no reason to make an excuse for anything.

Believe in Jesus.

OK, well, here's a recommendation that would be a lot more enlightening than a few bumper-sticker-like lines posted on a web forum.


Read Mere Christianity by CS Lewis.

Also, read Crossing the Threshold of Hope by Pope John Paul II.

Then tell me that these two men believe in God because they're just plain stupid.

Thanks,

Do not continually offer holy things to people who devour them, reject them, and turn them back to you lacerated and torn apart. You know what I believe he’s saying? I believe he’s saying that you only need to present the gospel to a certain point and when then people become abusive and blasphemous, it’s time to cease at that point, at least, the offering. There is a limit.

At some point you need to walk away. But I find many times people who can't give an answer use this kind of line...Kinda like telling a whuffo they just can't understand skydiving.

And thats fine. But then I don't think the religious should enter debates and ask for things they cannot or will not provide either IMO.

I enjoy religious debates.....I learn stuff. But I don't accept "just because" as an answer. And that is why I have a hard time believing in a religion.
