Why has the human race fallen so far from God?

Question

I mean, theres hundreds of religions, and only a couple are right. Almost every religion stems back to the original Babylonian Cult, Catholics, Buddhists, Egyptians (I don't know what theres is called.), the Greeks and their gods, the Romans and theres, the Africans and theres, the Aztecs and Mayas and there gods, the Chinese and theres, I mean, when you think about it, there is a HUGE percentage of the world that have fallen into the same religious style that God wants to be destroyed.

There are a couple Christian faiths that I believe to be closest to the bible, and yes, I do believe the bible to be the word of God, and I do believe Jesus is my personal savior. (I am Baptists for the record)

And no one tell me the Christian religion came from Catholics or another, it came directly after the time of Jesus, the Catholics are the result of a Christian based church fusing with the Roman emperor around 315AD. They emporer said he was christian, the christians accepted him...

Then he gave them money, land, things, and had them make him a high person in the church. He started bringing in paganism, which stemmed from the Babylonian cult, and all other religions except a few came from the cult. Theres only a couple that still believe the way Jesus taught, still the way the Bible teaches, and still the way we are supposed to.

I don't understand why people are so ignorant?

I mean, most religions worship a person, or many gods, Catholics worship Mary over Jesus, Buddhists worship Buddha, a person. Romans, Greeks, Egypt, Mormons, Chinese, (Not sure what the religions are called, except Mormons), they all believe in more then one god. The Mormons worship one god among an infinite number. Most other religions worship one sepcific god, the god of fertillity or Death, most of the time they were the same god.

I know, according to the world, the bible is wrong. And as things happen, in the bible it prophesies many things, some that are happening or already happened. The biggest thing to happen next, or one of the biggest things, will be the supernatural destruction of Russia, aka fire from the sky, and the rapture of the church. Those are whats to happen next. Everything else that was supposed to happen prior to these events have pretty much all been fulfilled. And when these happen, tell me then that the bible is wrong.

And no, the Christian religion is not a cult, it is truth. And its not to control the masses, it came from many years of God writing through people his message, and it was almost destroyed by Roman rulers between about 100-315 ad. They had massive fires in the streets to burn the scriptures. As well as about 5 million martyrs, but whos counting. And if it was a form of control, why were they trying to destroy it?

The oldest book in the bible dates back to around 8,000 BC.

Oh, I know the story. It came from the prophecies in the old testament, in the old testament times. A woman, before the tower of babel, aka Babylon, said she had miraculously conceived a child. And that her child was the god of the world. They thought she was telling the truth, everyone grew up, died, the belief continued on. They worshipped her. And guess what? God destroyed many of these places.

So no, the prophecy of Jesus came before Horus, Horus was the lie created by someone who read the prophecy, and that lie is carried on today, the biggest thing, look at the Catholics, they worship Mary, the mother, more then Jesus. And that was the same then.

Wrong, the word Christian came around 60AD at Antioch. The old testament was here well before that cause Jesus read from it in the temple. Which I believe was Isaiah.

Here, read the prophecies in Daniel and Revelations, they are coming together exactly as its said. Yet its not right. Huh. Ignorance.

Actually I know alot about politics, only because I like to follow them and watch things happen as its said in the bible. And im smart enough to know not to go into them.

And may I ask what it is I believe that is contradictory? You must have proof before you can say that. You have given no evidence, just the verdict. Thats not how it works.

I have no idea what Paul starting the church has to do with falling away from God. Jesus was the one that converted him if you know the story. Which apparently you only know what needs to be known to justify that which you believe.

So then I ask you this. Is every church of today only the name of the person who built it? That makes absolutly no sense. Jesus taught the apostles, Paul became an apostle and taught more then the other apostles because Jesus converted him, and Paul started the church, the disciples were first called Christians at Antioch. So, what does that have to do with falling away from God again? Or, being a paulian or whatever.

I shouldn't say they worship Mary, but they put her above Jesus. You have to pray to Mary so she can talk to Jesus cause he won't listen to us, but his mother can change his mind.

Or, when they do something they have to say Hail Mary something like, 54 times, then the lords prayer 6 times, which is 9 times less then the hail mary's.

Or the fact that they are always looking for signs of Mary, they see her face in everything, even ice. Then it becomes this huge thing where thousands of people travel to see. Its exactly like the babylonian cult in the old testament.

I guess the bible has been proven right yet again. It does say that in the end times that a large portion will fall away and not believe. But that will be countered when the tribulation happens, their will be a great number of people converted back to God. Greater then any other time in history.

But, the people that fall away will have to live through the tribulation, the ones that love God now and choose him now will be protected from the tribulation time.

I just pray people will wake up before its too late. And I know that most people won't.

Answer 1

You know your bible is younger than the Catholic church is, don't you.

Synod of Hippo....google it. That is when The Bible was made.

Answer 2

This is dangerous theology and virtually non-existent biology. Just speakme logically, possibly viruses and micro organism have been there all alongside and what sin did to Man was once adequate to make the combo lethal. That is a lot more fair. Eating a couple of kilos of dust will kill you whether or not you're within the Garden or now not. It is not the dust, it is the consuming. But I do not purchase that myself. ...But I do see what you're doing. You are denying evolution right here so you'll be able to make a factor however then while you've been defeated you are going to enable evolution and body a few new objection. This is simply the identical historic ridiculousness that insists that if God created a well angel and that angel grew to become Satan, then God created Satan.

Answer 3

Jesus didn't start Christianity, Paul did and it was to serve his very overblown ego. I can't understand why Christians are so blind to that. He is the main reason that Christians themselves have fallen so far from God that they themselves don't even understand the simple, original truth of Jesus.

Ask yourself this: "can I completely purge the teachings of Paul from my belief system and rely only on the teachings of Jesus as given in Mathew, the only eyewitness account?" If you can't, you are no Christian, but a Paulian.

Jesus said to his disciples, "I give you my peace". His peace was that of a homeless, penniless man reviled by the established churches and persucuted by political instutions. That was his peace, and is still the only gift he offers. Can you bear it? Would you? If you aren't doing this already, you are a hypocrite for asking your question.

As to why so many have fallen so far from God, virtually 100% of Christians are in that group because Christianity is really Paulianity, and removed from God. Otherwise, the real question is "How can you fall away from something that doesn't exist because your definition of it is internally self contradictory?"

Answer 4

Where did you get the idea Catholics worship Mary over Jesus? I'm not Catholic but I don't think that is what they believe. They ask for intervention from Mary and from the saints, that's not worship. Christians are one faith, not "a couple". Mormans and Jehovah Witnesses are considered to be cults because they have rewritten portions of the Bible according to their founders.
Sin is what separates us from God. The way I dealt with the issues you are referring to, such as Hammurabi's Code (similar to Ten Commandments and predating it) was to ask God Himself if I should worship Him as a Christian-to me, the answer was, "Yes." When in doubt, go to the Source.

Answer 5

I'm sorry but you seem to have got your brain a little fried with your idiotic sense of religion. I can understand now why the early Christians were persecuted if they all thought and ranted like you. With all your mixed up ideas, some of which completely contradict each other, with all your ranting and raving, mixed up ideas and not making sense and contradicting yourself, your tunnel vision etc. have you ever thought of going into politics?

Answer 6

You are the exact reason people like me are so happy they are Atheist.
I don't want to get too deep into educating you. But I think you should know that Catholism was indeed the church yours broke off from. It was 1st. The term Christian wasn't even around in 315AD, the Bible wasn't even around then.....Oh my....

Answer 7

I like to think of it not as "falling", but as having outgrown ridiculous fairy tale thinking. Let's call it rising away from gods.

EDIT:
"I guess the bible has been proven right yet again. It does say that in the end times that a large portion will fall away and not believe."

Keep guessing. You Christian fools have been deluding yourselves with this ridiculous "prediction" for centuries. In a thousand years, when religion is just an ugly memories in the collective conscious that humanity is destined to become, maybe they'll set aside a nanosecond of remembrance each year for the tremendous conviction of their ignorant, primitive ancestors - and laugh.

Answer 8

Christianity,with its hate and being proud to be ignorant,has kept more people from discovering a GOD OF TRUTH than any other.It is a sickening parody of a TRUTH religion

Answer 9

Horus had the same Christ story 3000 years ealier.

Answer 10

We understand the world we live in now.

Answer 11

Luckily; only God can be the judge of that. Everything happens the way it is meant to happen that is the whole faith idea.
