Glorify God in His name

If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory, and of God, rests upon you. Make sure that none of you suffers as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or a troublesome meddler; but if anyone suffers as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name.

If we suffer in his name we are not called to continue in that pain. We suffer so he can see who is who. Seek peace with all men means removing yourself from bad situations.

I believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God and believe He is my Savior…
I encourage you to read the New Testament…
For Jesus came to fulfill the prophecy of a savior, forgave us our sins, and released us from the grip of Satan….
Besides…the Jews hate us Christians unless we are useful idiots for their means to an end.

For we did not follow cleverly devised tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.

Glorify the god who requires the ritualistic mutilation of newborns? Not the kind of god I want to associate with

[ - ] ymihere [op] 4 points 2.7 yearsAug 14, 2021 09:36:25 ago (+4/-0)

Then you must be a Jew

[ - ] Flabbygasted 2 points 2.7 yearsAug 14, 2021 09:43:12 ago (+2/-0)

Because I dont approve of child mutilation? That doesnt even make sense.

Denial is the new acceptance…. As is misinformation!

You say it's what the jews wanted. So the book of genesis is not the word of god? Then if the book of genesis isnt the word of god, why would we believe any of the other books are?

Every church I have gone to, reads from the old testament as if it were gods scripture. Christians to this day still perform the ritualistic mutilation. From what I can tell, Christians worship the old testament just as much as the new one.

And if that's been subverted, it's not hard to think the rest of it has been subverted, right?

It's hard for me to look at the world and think there is a god out there that cares about us. Seems more like it, we have a god who enjoys the torture of children...so the bible seems pretty accurate in that sense. Just not sure why people would worship it.

Why would jews be creating satan's world? Because they're assholes...doesnt prove that a just god exists.

Ah yes the problem of evil.

"I don't like it, therefore he doesn't exist."

[ - ] Flabbygasted -1 points 2.7 yearsAug 14, 2021 12:53:45 ago (+0/-1)

What a stupid response. I never once denied a gods existence. I'm denying that it is a good and just god.

[ - ] TheLastStraightMan 1 point 2.7 yearsAug 14, 2021 13:02:37 ago (+2/-1)

So you accept that he exists but call him evil? And I'm the stupid one lol

[ - ] Flabbygasted 0 points 2.7 yearsAug 14, 2021 13:07:16 ago (+0/-0)

Do you believe the book of genesis is the word of god?

[ - ] TheLastStraightMan 2 points 2.7 yearsAug 14, 2021 13:10:36 ago (+2/-0)

Nah I'm not doing this thanks anyway

[ - ] Flabbygasted 0 points 2.7 yearsAug 14, 2021 13:13:03 ago (+0/-0)

Exactly...because you know what the answer is. You're such a fag. Run away because you cant handle the truth

[ - ] TheLastStraightMan 1 point 2.7 yearsAug 14, 2021 13:17:16 ago (+1/-0)

No I just know where you're going with it because you're predictable as fuck and I'm not interested

[ - ] Flabbygasted 0 points 2.7 yearsAug 14, 2021 13:21:47 ago (+0/-0)

It's because you have no good answer
Every single time I talk to one of you people, we always get to this point, and each time you all either say, I'm done with this conversation, or just ignore the question.

You act like it's a crazy question to ask, when it's written right there in the book. Keep running from all life's tough questions, just like a bitch.

[ - ] TheLastStraightMan 1 point 2.7 yearsAug 14, 2021 13:24:50 ago (+1/-0)

Not sure why you think you're entitled to my time. Your first comment was stupid and after being called out on it you want to change the topic. Like every other bot around here. Not interested.

A good god doesnt command the torture of newborns. Or do you also believe the testament was just nonsense?

I dont care what his name is. I went to all different kinds of christian churches most of my life: each time, I came across a bible where in the very first book it says child mutilation is a requirement. Regardless of what name you use for that god, it is still an evil god.

Genesis 21:4

[ - ] M80TheMan 2 points 2.7 yearsAug 14, 2021 11:19:51 ago (+3/-1)

The Old Testament is not doctrine in the Christian church. That’s why there’s the New Testament which explains the coming of Christ and that is accepted as doctrine.

[ - ] Flabbygasted 1 point 2.7 yearsAug 14, 2021 11:40:00 ago (+1/-0)

I hear this over and over. So are you saying it is a different god or that the old testament is not actually gods word?

Every church I have been to read from the old testament and teaches its "lessons" just as much as they do the new testament. Why would they do this, if they didnt view it as gods word?

[ - ] M80TheMan 0 points 2.7 yearsAug 14, 2021 18:37:21 ago (+0/-0)

I can’t confidently answer that but I’ll try from what I’ve learned. The Old Testament is still the word of God but the New Testament is the “new” standard doctrine. The New Testament is what is important to Christians because it tells of the story of Christ and His sacrifice for mankind. So instead of talking to people as a burning bush or a ray of light God wanted to make his word and message to be very clear so he sent his only son. This established the new church creating Christianity which is why the New Testament is so important. The Old Testament is still the word of God but is used among Christians as a reference point and explains the reasons why God sent Christ in the first place.

On a side note: primarily only jews and Americans perform male genital mutilation. The rest of the world is mainly uncut.

So you agree that god commanded the ritualistic act of mutilation known as circumcision? Like it says in the book of genesis?

How can you worship something that commanded, at least at one point, to torture children? That is as evil as it gets. And even if there was a thousand year difference between god commanding circumcision and then changing his mind, that is still a blink of an eye to god. That would be like me changing my opinion in raping children every other second.

[ - ] M80TheMan 1 point 2.7 yearsAug 14, 2021 23:04:11 ago (+1/-0)

No, I do not believe God commanded the ritualistic mutilation of children. Not entirely. I am still learning for myself the true teachings of Christianity and there are many contradictions regarding circumcision in the New Testament that cannot be ignored as suspect subversion.

Philippians 3:2-3
2 Watch out for those dogs, those people who do evil, those mutilators who say you must be circumcised to be saved. 3 For we who worship by the Spirit of God are the ones who are truly circumcised. We rely on what Christ Jesus has done for us. We put no confidence in human effort,

Titus 1:10-11
10 For there are many rebellious people who engage in useless talk and deceive others. This is especially true of those who insist on circumcision for salvation. 11 They must be silenced, because they are turning whole families away from the truth by their false teaching. And they do it only for money.

That last one is obviously a reference to jews.
