In fact this type of Christianity is like the ancient approach. If you don't believe in God, you must believe in the Devil. How they struck fear in children, and hated any type of wise women or men. Those that were into healing herbs etc, fortune telling, and blamed for all sorts of natural disasters and ailments.

Anyway, just believe that there is good and creative forces in this world that overwhelm anyone or anything that tries to counteract life.

Dear Opinionated,

«Oh it looks like the religious amongst us have left the thread due to their overwhelming failure to justify their positions when it comes to their religion.»

I am still here and so is Bush Bunny.

There is just nothing to comment about while you keep endlessly bashing the national book of the Jews - what's that got to do with religion anyway, or with life after death for that matter?

BB As an historian you should know that you cannot forget about the OT because it is entwined through the NT and Christians always pick pieces of it to justify their positions.

The Catholics have everything wrong but pretending that the OT doesn't have any relationship to the NT really means they don't know the NT. That was there way of manipulating people to move to the newer books so that you didn't accidentally see the horrors in the OT.

Did they teach the flood lies? Did they celebrate the murder of the innocent babies and children in the Passover? It is all a part o9f the closing down of minds process the Churches use on their victims...OOPS! Parishioners.

Remember these verses...

Matthew 5:18-19 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Were the commandments from the OT plus the extra 2 given by Jesus in the NT? The laws Jesus is referring to are Mosaic/Sharia law.

That is how the religions do it... They tirelessly work on closing down questioning minds and they succeed the majority of the time!

They know believers will take the easy way out because they know believers are lazy.

If Jesus had have taught against the evils of the Psyhopaths in the OT then that might have been fine. But he didn't!

So I will never forget the OT because religions misuse it and misrepresent it continually!

Yuyutsu I realise you aren't a Christian but life after death is one of the entrapments they use to sell their religions.

Most Christians have never read the Bible so by me showing them the Chapter and verses from it that they never read or knew existed I am educating them.

Isn't education a good thing?

Is re-education when you are wrong a good thing?

How many Christians are there in the world that have been misled and lied to by their religions? Oh 2.2 billion have everything wrong.

Not a bad sized target market...lmao

But of course I am also showing non-Christians what is in the Bible so they can see how crazily 2.2 billion people think!

Likewise those 2.2billion people are misrepresenting the truth to others and using lies and falsehoods to indoctrinate others.

Sorry if you don't see reason in very needed behaviour.

Would you like me to discuss some of the crazy things in Hinduism for you? I haven't read the books but I know a few.

What book is your book of choice?... If I have time I will tear into that one at some stage...lmao

Yuyutsu, I still receive postings. However there is no longer intelligent discussion only ravings by the uninformed.

Just to correct you, Roman Catholics have their own bible, The Catholic Bible, as I have never read it, I can't comment. But they definitely will not read or believe in the Old Testament. Have you read it.

So and so begot so and so, names that I have never heard of. Most are agreed, Moses did not write the first 5 books. Timeline is out by about 600 years.
