how is it that you pragmatically know that He is not gonna fix your teeth?
I don't think that even the most devout Christian went to bed with a toothache thinking, "God, it HURTS!" and woke up the next day with his teeth healed, whitened and straightened. And you KNOW that this is not about to happen...EVER.

I saw a real church with that name. Is it a joke of sorts? What did she assume?

I want to borrow this from a friend of mine named Mirtha,


Many believe that the lake of fire and brimstone is hell.

The word "fire" is from the Greek PUR. This is typically translated as
"fire, fiery, or lightening". The word indicates a display of light and is a symbol of enlightenment.

"Burn" is from KAIO which means to set on fire or to consume.

"Brimstone" comes from THEION which is the neutral form of THEIOS which in turn comes from THEOS. THEIOS is interpreted as "Godlike" or "divine", and THEOS is "God.

The Bible reads today nothing like it was in the original languages. IMO the meaning hidden in the words of the Bible are very esoteric and meaningful but not many take the time to explore and understand the symbolism and depth involved. Passion? Motivation? Divine Godlike enlightenment?


So, what does this mean?

Imagine:

You are an atheist and wake up after death and found out that all what religions said about life after death was right.

Imagine that you are standing in front of the creater and the Hill is in your left hand side.

What will be your feeling at that moment? Why? What you will say?

The word bible isnt even in the bible, so there begins the human fabrication, how can someone claim its the word of God if it was changed so much by humans. The New Testament was written 200 years after Jesus(pbuh) died and in a language he didnt even speak. Jesus didnt even call himself a christian(another fabrication). In the Bible Jesus predicted that ppl would worship in vain, "But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." This verse, Matthew 15:9. Which is the true one. Why are there so many mistakes in the bible surely this cannot be attributed to God (e.g. of conflicting verses II Samuel 6:23 Genesis 6:3 John 5:37). Lastly i dont understand how christians can claim monotheism when they worship jesus and God, how can he be the Son of God and God at the same time this is the biggest contradiction. Would a true believer ask God why he has forsaken him, how did he talk to God(if hes God). anyway doesnt sound like he was ready to die for my sins

Is that really a requirement to preach the gospel and help people spiritually. That nuns and priests have to be single?

You don't see statues of Joseph anywhere. You don't see private schools named after him. Just as Mary was chosen to be Jesus' earthly mother, Joseph was his earthly father. Can't you just make a few churches here and there and give the guy a break?

...why are y'all still here on this stinking planet?

Shouldn't He have given you reprieve from this desolate existence by now? Or may be you haven't really FULLY accepted Him, therefore you remain here to work on that and continue to suffer the mundane charade we call life.

And please no quoting of Revelations. Tell us how you really reason this out as feeling, logical human beings, without quoting scriptures.

Thank you in advance.

Since I'm not going to be seen by everyone and am not going to float down from the sky.

If I publicly revealed I was Jesus, I would be committed.

Even if I spoke of love and went around healing people, I would be criticised and claimed to be bogus.

I wouldn't perform a miracle to prove I was Jesus, because that is lack of faith on your part.

If I told you the entire truth, you would label me a psycho and probably want to turn me in a mental institution.

You don't know the "me" sitting behind this computer? Do you?

I've been nice so far when they come over and politely tell them I'm not interested. But somebody different keeps coming back every week.

Is there anything else that's polite to get them to stop knocking on my door? I'd hate to start becoming rude.
