Here you go optimist

Not sure my motivation...my instinctive need to stick up for the underdog...my secret desire to be one day honoured rightfully with the role of Forum moderator (expecting a call any day)...

But anyway I couldn't help but read your troubles on another thread...unfortunately I found myself siding with everyone's posts...other than your own...except for the part where you were told you can't post here!

So I put my low IQ mind to coming up with a solution that suits all...and here it is...a safe place if you like

You can post anything you like about your beliefs...and no one has to read it unless they want! Easy peasy...

maybe you could even get Jesus, fat Buddha, Mohammed, and friends to converse in adult conversation here

Solving the world problems, one at a time...call it taking a shovel as a way of moving that mountain

All the best...brother

PS...I actually was born again once, but I grew up, and grew a brain of my own...and realised it was all a load of shit!

miracles from the Bible...https://www.spiritoflifeag.com/how-many-miracles-are-there-in-the-bible/...
Personally , I have spoken before about this before.....At Xmas 2 years ago I was diagnosed with multiple cancer tumours in the same place as the previous 2 times , the only treatment left was hormones and not a very good chance of beating it a 3rd time. By end of April nothing was working and I became very sick ....as the tumours were pushing on my bladder and Bowell system , I couldn't sleep as I was up pissing razor blades for about 3 weeks every 15 mins...it's now end of May....it looked really grim with not long to go....I had a prayer Chain set up by some friends in Hawaii....some serious praying went down........a Dr contacted me for some boards , just happened that I had taken him for a surf at Bells a few years before, he 's a Black Rasta-man who just happened to be the pelvic surgeon in the World working out of Sydney.......so we redid a lot of tests .......and the symptoms improved with anti-biotics.....then when the test came back...every tumour had disappeared and suddenly I had perfect health again.....that's just one of my stories about didging bullets....19 car accidents/Coma's/ going under 2 waves more than 10 times...under 3 waves once , Diabetes II as bad as you can get......there are greater powers at work........My best friend in Hawaii experienced a young person riddled with cancer get wheeled into surgery for the Dr to return 40 mins later to tell family and friends they cut her open and the cancer was gone........having faith that God can achieve anything and that he has everything under control .....my personal experience is that by living the Christian life .....life is easier to understand , forgiveness/humility/looking after those who need it most brings peace/Joy through love........

Hallelujah.…great story. Without faith, I call bs on that. With faith, I would still call bs. I know lifelong Christians that would call bs.

Jesus became world famous after only 3 years from things He did. They were many and supernatural and something only God could do. I have personally experienced and seen the miraculous happen …things unexplainable by any other means….I would share the experiences ….but what would be the point as you guys are hard and not really interested in anything but an argument. …my advice is read the New Testament even for historical reasons and see what you think. After all, the NT. is the biggest selling book on earth.

World famous? No he was just one of many preachers doing the same thing in a tiny part of the world. He became famous well after his death when everyone had got their fantastical stories straight and then only when a Roman Emperor came on board and made it the official religion. Doesn’t it go something like that in reality?

1 of my bosses in Japan had this smoking hot wife, we all got semi drunk, she was a fox on heat…I ended up banging her many times. That was a miracle. Best miracle I have experienced.

One definition of a "miracle" is this (pulled from Oxford English Dictionary)...... "a highly improbable or extraordinary event, development, or accomplishment that brings very welcome consequences."
Seems like your story meets criteria, Roadie.

I done did a deal with the devil.Sold my soul,I'm on the dark side.We can talk about that some other time.

I can't stand a majority of the Jesus freaks,born again babblers trying to recruit me and whenever I'd refuse was condemned to Hell.

However,had a interesting experience...
California late 80's.A mate n myself used to get drunk on these benches at a high school track n field/football oval.We were middle upper class White Trash,too young to get into bars but old enough to go to war.
Most nights we'd be on the pickle juice looking for drugs n women.Me mate was a good fighter,he had a good knock out punch n was a quick witted cocky mofo who liked to punch on.
One long night,turning into sunrise we were dumb drunk sitting on the benches when some middle aged,slightly over weight morning jogger wearing a headband n trackies started doing laps of the oval.
Me mate decided to give him a hard time and started humming the 'Rocky' movie theme track everytime he went by us.da da,dana da..... da da
After a couple laps the jogger stopped and said"listen boys,I'm really into the Lord and what you're doing is wrong.Is it o.k. if I pray for you?"
We were like"sure,no worries".
Jogger man grabbed our hand and started saying some prayer and right as he did this an all white pigeon/dove flew up and landed on the railing 3feet away,right in front of our face.It was so close I could've touched it.I watched the white bird sit there and as soon as old mate finished his prayer it flew away.
No birds ever came up close to us on those benches before or after that.

SUNDAY MESSAGE….
The Son ( Jesus) is the radiance of Gods glory and the exact representation of His being , sustaining all things by His powerful word. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down on the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.

Forgive my ignorance, but is the prosperity gospel not a core tenet of their entire organisation? If so, why not disband altogether and let the good nature of others/something else fill the vacuum.

You don’t answer questions, brutus. You copy and paste standard religious answers. I don’t think I have ever read an original thought from you. When you can’t find a standard answer to copy and paste you play the victim and cry about being bullied and trolled.

I answer all your questions as well as I can....you can't answer mine as it shows you to be what you are ...a bloke with not too many morals........so be it ,if I remember right you had kids were worried about them being exposed to people who were responsible for gender/gay vilification?
Just wonder if your kids would find it funny their Grandmother could be fucked by the Devil and use the ol Chestnut ' yeah but that's humour?".....
So where does it stop .....where is your moral compass?

TBH, it ain't you so much, Brutus. Though I don't agree with some of the things you write, I appreciate you do so in good faith.

It's not for me, but I can see people enjoy a good theology stoush, but all punters need to front up with modesty, tolerance, and preferably, some humour. That hasn't necessarily been the case here.

in case anyone is interested...Theist and Atheist Arguments in Indian Philosophy
-------
Dear Colleague,

You are invited to participate in the next session of the Logic and Religion Webinar Series which will be held on April 14, 2022, at 4pm CET with the topic:

Theist and Atheist Arguments in Indian Philosophy
Speaker: Sachchidanand Mishra (Benares Hindu University, India)
Chair: Agnieszka Rostalska (Ghent University, Belgium)

Please register in advance!
https://www.logicandreligion.com/webinars

Abstract: For a long time, philosophers have been proposing arguments to prove or to deny the existence of God. This attitude can be witnessed in western philosophy as well as in Indian Philosophy. In Indian philosophy, the theist arguments are put forward mainly by the Nyāya Vaiśeṣika school. Only a few arguments are proposed by the Yoga Philosophers. But if there is a debate between the theist and atheist, the onus is on the theist to prove God's existence. The atheist only has to show that the arguments are not capable of proving the existence of God conclusively. This is the dominant attitude in Indian Philosophy. The Cārvāka, the Buddhists, the Jainas, the Sāṅkhyas, and even the Mīmāṁsakas and the Vedāntins have put forward atheist arguments to prove the incapability of the theist arguments in proving the existence of God. In this webinar, I would try to evaluate the arguments from both sides as presented by Indian philosophers.

With best wishes,

Ha Ha …good to see you reading so much bible twisted…Don’t forget you have to place yourself into the era when reading so you can get the context of the verse. Picture yourself right there thousands of years ago and living in those societies. Download the free Chosen App and watch the series free and you will get a historic feel for when the texts were written. Also you can google bible commentary on every verse in the bible now to give a broader view.

@TwsitedDrifter

Maybe Optimist an confirm, but my understanding is the new testament kind of re writes the rules over old testament, hence why they dont still believe/follow an eye for an eye etc

Not exactly sure why it's all keep though?

Not my thing but at least Christianity has some kind of reform though, Islam and the Korean doesn't.

If the old bible was wrong where did they get the second one from? when is the third being released?

If Jesus believed in the old testament that's good enough for me.
That is proof of it's accuracy. But his own kind killed him- the Jews, they should be wiped out for what they did to him. Im surprised God hasn't sent down flames from heaven and plagues of locusts to destroy Jewish people.
Yet they control the world and control Hollywood.
