Holy Bible (Page 3) EvolNinjaPunkin__: jesus said (Gospel of St Thomas) that "he who finds the meaning of these words, will not taste death" apparently he wasnt talking about the physical victory of the body, but of the triumph of the spirit over the body when one "disowns" himself and picks up his "cross" and follow after him (jesus) smoke4ever: The LORD Jesus Christ from the New Testament is the same LORD God from the Old Testament check out what Jesus says in His prayer in John chapter 17 verses 11-12 (Edited by smoke4ever)  Ka Nine: I would mock faith, but it's so damn good at mocking itself, that I can do other things like study science...  Thumbsy: Yes, faith seems to be its own worst enemy. Just look at all the sects that have self-destructed throughout history, often in spectacular ways involving the mass-death of their members. Geoff: One could ask the same of the god-botherers plaguing evolution threads. I personally feel that every little prick in the balloon of religion produces a chance that someone might be saved from their delusion. Or at least might prevent a moderate believer from becoming an entirely lost cause.  lavendar_star: Ive seen religious folk in an atheists thread as well and we also live in a democracy!!!!! Brazza: ...and besides, it's just positive with some input from different angles, which make people use their brain to process new information in a constructive way. The purpose with a debate forum is to exchange different views, so when you start a new thread, you most certainly have to be prepared for the possibility that some posters don't share your own opinion. smoke4ever: Jesus said, "The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels." Matthew chapter 13 verses 36-39 (Edited by smoke4ever) Geoff: Ah, so after the cajoling comes the threats. "Repent ye sinners, for the end is nigh." - As spoken by every doom saying nutjob since the dawn of intelligence. lavendar_star: lol like the devil is real and I thought everyone was God''s child if that entity/supernatural being existed anyway. Lucid: This is a pretty good documentary on what the bible does to people...Christian fundamentalists telling children they are warriors for God. http://www.abc.net.au/iview/#/view/837369 Spellweaver: Their brains have been so thoroughly washed that their matter now look like fluffy white cotton... They can feel no sympathy for other people's opinions and they fear their own instincts more than the possibility that they can be wrong, which is no option in their state of mind. lavendar_star: That documentary:Jesus camp is crazy, telling the kids that creationism is actually fact and that evolution is rubbish, and the way kids go into a trance and start crying its scary and ur so right Spellweaver. smoke4ever: Jesus said, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God! Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." Those who heard this asked, "Who then can be saved?" Jesus replied, "What is impossible with men is possible with God." Luke chapter 18 verses 24-27 CoIin: Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." - Matthew 19:21 So have you given away all your possessions? Nope? Didn't think so. lavendar_star: lol@colinian thats how some of those preachers and cult leaders get rich using that verse. lavendar_star: ??????don't get you!!!!!!and I'm a woman lol and how can a so called God have possessions or attributes if your referring to Colinians comment???? | Religion Chat Room 29 People Chatting Similar Conversations |
