A happy Christmas to one and all.
Gloria: In Excelsis Deo
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Two days on and the shepherds had seen Him and no doubt telling of what they had experienced. Two people waited for Him and would see Him not a few days hence when He was taken to be circumcised at the Temple and the Wise men were probably preparing for their journey to pay Him homage. Nothing would ever be the same again yet the world then was still asleep to it all.
This is absolutely disgusting.

Sir Adrian,
It certainly is disgusting yet we are well warned about it, so why do so many fall for it?
It's socialist lust for destruction.
The actual Jesus was just a Jewish rebel under Roman occupation. Somehow he gathered influence and was sucked up into Roman power plays by Paulus (or "Paul"), who basically completely revised his story so it suits his power oriented, self-aggrandizing purposes. As it was the case with many "apostles" who were mere interpreters, if at all. And that is the basis of all Christianity now.
It doesn't mean, Jesus was a bad guy. He was also certainly not the son of any nonexisting God. He was probably a "good guy" (sincere, curagheous, compassionate) who had unusually social ideas for his time. That triggered the Roman takeover of Paul's version of Jesus' history, garnished with lies and exaggerations. Paul was a horrible snake oil peddler and the whole story was later the basis for Roman totalitarianism. It was basically the first socialist movement in history, that got turned into a fascistoid dogma.
Cool story bro except you're missing a few things:
- Paul was also a jew and he persecuted the followers of Jesus who were already a religion.
- Paul never met Jesus.
- the NT was written by apostles of Jesus Paul never met when Paul was in Rome and they in Palestine. Paul did not write any of the 4 books.
- Paul was not in charge.
- while there were indeed 2 camps the only thing Paul's side differed on from James' side was whether or not the new faith was still OT Jewish and should obey jewish restrictions like circumcision.

swabian,
Jesus just a rebel? It's funny you saying that because Jesus never lifted a fiinger against any Roman. For sure He drove the moneymakers out of the Temple but these guys were Jews. Paul insists that he is a witness to the resurrection on a par with these other witnesses. The account of Jesus's post-resurrection appearance to Paul is given in detail three times in the Book of Acts and is repeatedly alluded to by Paul himself in his letters. The Epistle to the Galatians chapter 1 also describes his conversion as a divine revelation, with Jesus appearing to Paul.
So God is nonexistant is He? For the now eighty years I have been on this planet I can assure you that God does exist as I too have seen Him.

Of these facts there cannot be any shadow of doubt: for instance, that civil society was renovated in every part by Christian institutions; that in the strength of that renewal the human race was lifted up to better things-nay, that it was brought back from death to life, and to so excellent a life that nothing more perfect had been known before, or will come to be known in the ages that have yet to be. - Pope Leo XIII
Why is the song disgusting for it is about the rich man described by Jesus thirsting in hell whilst the poor man is in the arms of Abraham? Such is the blinding Light emanating from Christ onto all in hell it is like a lake of fire in which there is no respite, no not even one drop of water. That's the price all mankind must pay for denying our God and Saviour Jesus Christ. Where churches go wrong is in not emphasising that enough.
A two hour debate between Daniel Haqiqatjou (Muslim) and Mike Jones (Christian) on child marriage (including to adults and with consummation).
Haqiqatjou is in favour, Jones against.

(one of the more common commentaries on the various channels covering this, is that Jones destroyed his own religion because 'Rebecca was 3 when she married Isaac' (this is actually based on an argument from silence, the Bible does not state Rebecca's age); and 'the Catholic Encyclopedia says Mary was 12 when she became pregnant with Jesus/married Joseph' (this ignores the other ages in the CE, and the warnings stated in the CE about information taken from apocryphal texts).

Infidel144,
Today's evidence clearly lays out facts and figures of the problem that young girls have in growing into motherhood and it appears that the problem or problems have not changed, so what is the answer?
Everyone here needs to watch this eye opening video

I know I could try to be a good christian but only in the more generic humanistic aspect because obviously I do not believe in god or in the theological teachings of christ.
I have many other "sources" of morality, thank you. and they do not ask me for blind obedience or to treat others as enemies or subordinates

Does your signature mean that God is with Karl Marx because God is with everybody or does it mean that God is a communist? I certainly believe Karl Marx is with the devil.
Was reading religious Wiki pages a month or so ago and stumbled upon that some sects of Christianity believe Satan and Lucifer are different entities.
