when you turn 65 and suddenly realize that you only have a few years left and you are going to DIE maybe then you might see the truth.

THe Jews turn to GOd.DO you th8in kthey are weak?
collectively they have endured the worst treatment a people could ever endure. enslavement by the egyptians, not having a jhomeland, mass extinction by hitler, being surrounded by countries who hate them simply because they are jewish, suicide bombings, attacks, wars, injustice, prejudice, and hatred by the world.
and they are still around
i could hardly classify them as weak people.

as stated before, replying to OP is not going to get you anywhere... he's presently submerged in his own vomit, and won't hear you. rewind to two days ago, you'll have a better chance at a reply from him.

You are mixing up definitions of 'weak'. The OP, I believe, is refering to "weak mindedness". Whereas you are referring to a "weak spirit", or a "strong spirit", as the case may be.

God is what he is. Just like human is what you and I are. And dog is what my pet Pal is. It's not a title. And what did the patriarchs call him? Not Jehovah... And why make such a big deal out of it? And why is calling him God bad? My children call me dad, daddy, father, pops, etc... That is the proper way for them to address me. See?

OOOOOOH, no....we're NOT getting into that whole BULLSSHIT trap you God FreakieeDeekees love to do. "Prove that God doesn't exist." Then you start quoting passeges from the bible, matching them up, mathematically with Easter Island, Stonehenge and Madonnas' tattoos. :roll:

I DON'T believe. Period. You can wave John 1.34.23..343.232.1a in my face all day...all it's gonna do it provide a breeze to cool me off.


actually, that was pretty funny in hindsight...

you have not insulted me, only simply further proved my point and strengthened my resolve to pray for the rest of the world and its lost inhabitants.

what great cause do you believe in? WHAT does it do FOR YOU?
your life is empty. and it will always be empty for as long as you dont believe in the grace of God. HE DIED FOR YOU.

dont confuse happpy with empty, you can be happy as a clam but your life is still empty.

there are other dads, and other pets, and other fathers, and, sadly, other 'gods'.

The Bible speaks of the latter in many instances:

"the god of this system of things"
"the Word was a God"
gods made of wood and stone (idols)

the name "Jehovah" leaves no doubt as to who the true God is, and yes, you can call him God if you so choose, but realize that that name was TAKEN OUT of the original Hebrew and Greek scriptures by the scribes who wrote the King James version in all but two places for the purpose of misleading Christians everywhere into the sins of Christendom. Don't believe me? Check out "The Divine Name That will Live Forever", or better yet, Psalms 83:18 in any Bible, even the KJV....

edit: In addition, in the King James Bible the name JEHOVAH in capital letters is found four times in the Old Testament - Exodus 6:3; Psalms 83:18; Isaiah 12: 2 and 26:4.

he's confused, man. You can see he's equating Jehovah God with his son, Jesus Christ. part of that Trinity doctrine that is falsely taught and is not Bible-based. it's sad how paganism has ruined people's perceptions of what true Christianity is.

Here's what I'm wondering. Jesus probably made it to Heaven, right? I mean, even if he sinned a great deal, he was God's son, so he probably got a "get into Heaven free" card or something. But Jesus didn't even sin (much). So is his death a great tragedy?

you arrogant pos. many people died for me, like those who fought in ww2 for isntance. i'm sure many of my ancestors fought and died for me too. it doesn't automatically make it a reason for worshiping them as something other than the examples of nobility and human effort.

as for your cookie cutter beliefs, sure you have a package of beliefs that you can partake in.. an easy lazy way out basically. you don't really have to think about what you have to believe in. your god could say that murder was good and you'd be dandy with that. your belief is based on old texts someone scribbled down long ago, and thats really all it comes down to.

and you know who's life is empty? probably yours. unable to cope with the real you have to turn to fantasy. thats pretty much what it comes down to.

Jesus did ascend to heaven in spirit form, yes... he resides there now and was made king of the heavens and is waiting until the time of the end to return to wipe out the wicked at Armageddon in his father's name.

Jesus was a human, but never sinned. He was a spirit creature that descended to Earth and born inside of the virgin Mary. Jesus Christ is the only other perfect human creature (sinless) after Adam and Eve, who were at one point perfect, but lost that status when they sinned (and were sentenced to suffering, sickness, and death for them and all their forebears-- all mankind).

Jesus' death is a great tragedy in the eyes of his followers at the time, and also in the eyes of many today. But it is also a fulfillment of prophecy. Jesus came to Earth knowing he would die, in fact he came to Earth just for that purpose. A perfect life for a perfect life. Since Adam and Eve - perfect human creatures, sinned against God, Jesus offered his perfect life in human form to balance the scales and make a provision for humans to gain God's favor again. Jesus has an intense love for humans, considering he was at the right hand of God his father since creation and helped to create much of everything alongside Jehovah. So as much of a tragedy the physical death is, it's also a great joy to know that he did it for humans in order that everyone exercising faith in his sacrifice will enjoy everlasting life in a peaceful new paradise Earth. (lookup - John 3:16, John 17:3)

Why doesn't the average Joe see that "God" is just an imaginary CRUTCH? If you want to quit drinking, only YOU CAN MAKE YOU QUIT DRINKING. If you want to stop beating your dog, ONLY YOU CAN MAKE YOU STOP BEATING THE DOG.

God won't save your marriage, pay the bills or wash your car. God also WILL NOT "give you the strength" to do any of the above.

If you're a weak person, admit you're weak and learn to be strong on your own. Leave The Good Book where it belongs; gathering dust in a seedy motel nightstand drawer.


You make Baby Jesus cry :brokenheart:

Actually they have hated "gods" that weren't the one(s) they themselves venerated. There's a big difference.

noone died for you in world war 2 or any other war for that matter, i cant even believe you think that you are so incredibly stupid im embarrased for you.
You are telling me that some guy that died over in a trench in Bastogne knew who you were (before you even existed) and actually WILLINGLY got himself killed for you as an individual?! THose guys didnt even want to be there, they were drafted GENIUS. Jesus, had many oppurtunities to escape death and run away, but he turned himself over because he loves everyone in the world, even the people who werent created yet. he KNOWS you, not just knows of you, and he LOVES you that is why he died for you so that you would not have to go to hell, because in reality that is what we all deserve.

Please dont tell me you actually think that, then maybe i could gain .000000000001% respect for you or anything that comes out of your mouth.

EDUCATE YOURSELF, then come back and you can talk then

Wow! Some thread....Whew!

Sad that the OP feels the need to be so combative because others in this world have something that he does not. Whether he chooses to believe or not is not the issue for me. It is the fact that he started with insults and name calling. It must be some weakness not to be able to live and let live to those who believe...

Personally, I am not a practicing anything, but still have more decorum than to try to belittle anyone who has a respect or a faith in anything...

you see, thats the problem with nitwits like you. you denigrate the noble actions of REAL people so you can believe in your fantasy leader. look how many other "prophets" started other religions, yet you only believe the bs from your one, not for any good reason either, just arbitrary bs. probably because you were born into it, an accident of birth. as for willingly getting killed? jesus pissed off some people and thats what got him killed. he didn't willingly hang himself or anything, he was a victim of circumstance like many others. so shut it with the bs about him dying for you. no decent god would work that way. you need to get your head out of your ass.. really.

why do you think he is a fantasy leader??

Jesus existed, he was also a real person, and the people that he "made angry" killed him yes, but God was controlling the entire thing, it was meant to happen from the beginning. HE had many chances to escape death. WHen he was in the garden of Gisennimee (prolly spelled it wrong) he was with his disciples and the roman guards came to arrest him, peter attacked a soldier and cut his ear off and jesus healed it and put out his hands to be shackled. even my boss at work whos never been to church knows that. mabe you should read the bible before you judge it.

historians have acknowleged that he did in fact exist, it is the "question" of whether he was the messiah or not that people dont believe.

I was not born into it either, i became a christain when i was 17. I did pot, sex, drinking, partying, everything, but i realized that it was all worthless and empty, and there was something more to my existence. My life is truly not empty, i love a very satisfying and fulfilling life and have joy in the fact that i know i will be going to heaven forever.

thankfully i had someone in my life who cared about me enough to show me what it was really all about.

stop arguing with me, you are combatting reason and facts with pure ignorance.
