BlueAngel444:


Thanks.

Peoples mind are mostly on money, except those that understand Jesus's true teachings on the subject of money.

When Jesus says, those who have money hardly enter God's Kingdom, I believe that word have! means store. That is those who store money

wow a revelation struck me now
God hated it when some Israelites stored food given to them at the wilderness because specifically he instructed them not to
also he hated the rich man in a parable who stored a lot in his barn for himself

aadoiza:
The OP kept banging the word 'scholars' in my big ears, now my simple questions: 1. who are these scholars(names)? What faith(s) do they profess?
Your answers will determine my approach to your epistle.

thank u for this

self deceit is the worst kind of deceit

he is implying the Bible is made up by men but referring us to men that generated those contrary findings.
his ignorance is appalling

FOLYKAZE:
The christian faith is centred on gospel of Jesus and Jewish history as narrated in the bible. The account of Jesus's life and all his theological teachings stem directly from the Genesis creation narrative, Noah flood, Israelite exodus, and Babylonia exile down to the birth of the so called messiah. But since it is found that many of the accounts have no basis in history, how come Christians still hold onto their faith? In the face of reality, vividly exposing that the accounts and narratives from Genesis till the end is fiction, and the characters captured in the entire bible are legends, on what exactly are Christians rooting their faith? Are Christians really trusting on folktales to bring them heaven/paradise they hope for?

The bible accounts, as interesting as it sound have no single basis in history. The creation story, many churches have accepted that it is metaphoric or philosophical which shouldn't be taken as happening at a historic time or place. The catholic and many Christian denominations admitted that the story of Adam and Eve is more allegorical, specially designed for theological purposes, without any basis in history. The Noah and the global flooding account too have no basis in history. Up till this moment, not a single shred of evidence have been found to buttress there was any global flooding on this planet. The global flooding and ark narration have so many parallels which further exposes the mythical nature of the account, having no basis in history. Up till date, no single shred of evidence have been presented that Noah or his Ark existed.

One of the story I loved back then as a child is the Exodus. The account detail Israelis enslavement in Egypt, emancipation by Moses, sojourn through the wilderness and the military campaign that rounded up Canaan. Findings have shown that the whole Exodus is pure work of fiction, not having any fact. There is no Moses, Israelite were never in or enslaved in Egypt, Pharaoh and his people were not plagued by any Yahweh, the Red sea was not parted, the wildernesses sojourn have no basis in history, and Canaan was not overran by Israel military forces. Archaeological evidence revealed that all the accounts about Israel in the bible is myth.

The monarchy reign of David and Solomon in the United kingdom of Israel is all false. Archaeological findings expose that Israel is a small clan in Canaan, having no king. There is no evidence or traces of the Solomon temple. The captivity by Babylon is more reconstructions of facts though. However, the bible rather provides half truth laced with propaganda which makes the whole account unacceptable as historical fact.

The Jesus account is majorly work of fiction. While many would argue that there is a historical personality known as Jesus as recorded by Apostle Paul, Gospels, and non Christian sources like Josephus and Tacitus, the fact remains that these are not eye witness account which can easily be dismissed. The earliest manuscript that recorded the person of Jesus is written somewhere around 60yrs after Jesus crucifixion. The gospel of Matthew, Luke and John all copied from accounts in the book of Mark. The authorship of the gospel of Mark is a subject if debate. However, the general consensus among the scholars is that whoever wrote the gospel of Mark is not providing an eye witness account but simply relaying heavily distorted traditions.

The Zombies invasion and the wingless ascension of Jesus is a popular incidence which would supposedly be witnessed by many people, but no one expect in the gospels wrote about it. Josephus and Tacitus mentioned that a person called Jesus or Christ but left out the major events recorded in the gospel. Josephus original writings has not been found, and scholars argued that the word 'Jesus' found in the Testimonium Flavianum is Christian interpolation. Tacitus was born 25yrs after the death of Jesus. None of this writings provided an eye witness account. They are majorly tradition with no factual basis.

The gospels have loads of inconsistency and contradictions. Apostle Paul admitted he learned the creed. As a matter of fact, Paul's sister and nephew were converted Christians before he converted. He also confessed he met with James and Peter for days, many years after his conversion. So it is nothing new, Paul converted base on tradition he was told to.

At a point, Paul questioned the basis of his faith, exactly what I wanted Christians to do. Apostle Paul, who didn't met Jesus or witnessed his death queried if Jesus truly died and resurrected. He questioned the historicity of Jesus crucifixion, noting with doubt that his faith and missionary job is in vain if peradventure there is no Jesus that died and resurrected. The inquiry furthermore buttressed that Paul only knew the traditional story of Jesus, and not the historical fact. Reason he added that one should find and stick to truth only.

My questions to my brothers who are Christians, how do you keep onto faith knowing that all the narration recorded in the bible have no basis in history? Where exactly is the confidence of hope drawn from knowing that the Bible stories are fables having no substances in history? How can you strongly trust that a Jesus who never exist as accounted would take you to heaven/paradise? What is the basis of your faith; historical fairies or historical facts?

"sometimes ignorance is a fools paradise & and assumption a dark room" - Daniel Mcgie

"there are 3 types of knowledge ranked from the least to the best namely; 1) Assumption 2) Fact 3) Revelation, Revelation is truth & superior" - Rose Andrew

all I ask from you since rejecting Christ; thus rejecting God existence is that you please "save my mankind"

I guess your resolution from the trash you wrote was "mankind can't be saved"

food for thought (two of the many weaknesses in ur write up)

if Christ was imaginary why would Peter who loved his business of fishing abandon it the second time to go do instructions of preaching the Gospel ?
(was peter one of the disciples of Christ also imaginary ?)

So in jewish history there was never Pontus Pilate, Pharisees, john the Baptist, Nicodemus, mary etc ?
(because if you removing Christ out of the picture u will remove other personalities, places & prophecies in play during his time)

ur point is we shouldn't believe the Bible but ignorantly believe history & arechological findings generated by men.

wow I don't know ur mission here but be careful
ur ignorance reeks

the unarmed civilians will not remain intimidated

(International Christian Concern) – A new respiratory virus with origins in the Chinese city of Wuhan has now infected 8,200 people across the world, and has claimed nearly 200 lives.
The outbreak of the coronavirus, which causes pneumonia-like symptoms, prompted Chinese authorities to quarantine several major cities. The usual lunar new year holidays, which typically last no more than 10 days long, have also been tentatively extended to mid-February to prevent the disease from
spreading further.

In this time of desperation and fear, China’s Christian community, which has suffered an intensified crackdown by the government in recent years, has stepped up to fill in the gap left unattended by the
incompetent authorities.
A Chinese Christian Twitter user shared on January 27, “Some overseas Christians shipped supplies designated to serve local hospitals through local churches, with the intention to ask them to pass on
to the hospitals. Yet the supplies were confiscated, and the Christian who received the shipment was invited to ‘have tea’ with the police (which is a
common practice employed to intimidate and threaten citizens).”
Christian human rights lawyer Sui Muqing, who has been sharing updates and comments on the outbreak online, received calls from the police and was asked to delete his posts. They called his recent commentaries on Wuhan pneumonia excessive and claimed that his words have caused social damage to the Party and the country.

“If you do not delete [the post], we will
take further measures,” said the police,
who acknowledged that the order “came
from [a] higher level.”

When maintaining stability through censorship remains a top priority for the government, innocent citizens are left to fend for themselves. Emotions are running high as many were advised to self-quarantine until further notice, and masks are flying off the shelves.

Christians in Wuhan seek to bring a message of peace and hope to their neighbors with creativity. A video shared by Father Francis Liu from Chinese Christian Fellowship of Righteousness shows that encouraging sermons are being broadcasted to their communities
through speakers placed on balconies. A Christian rode his bike to a pharmacy where people gathered and played a sermon through a portable speaker.
Another video shows that Christians were distributing face masks and Gospel pamphlets to passersby on the streets. Playing in the background was a message broadcasted to address the fear and uncertainties of ongoing crisis.
Activities like this would normally attract the police’s attention and Christians would face possible threats or arrest. Yet, during this unusual time, most streets are
empty and the authorities are occupied looking after themselves, so these Christians are able to carry out their activities.
Christians from other provinces offer their homes to host people fleeing from Hubei province who face housing discrimination. Brother Jia Xuewei and sister Shu Qiong, from the heavily persecuted Early Rain Covenant Church in Sichuan, decided to open up their homes and cover the escapees’ room and board until Hubei lifts its quarantine.
Local pastors share uplifting words and encourage Christians to stay strong. Pastor Huang Lei from Wuhan’s Root and Fruit Church published an article on
January 24, saying, “While the real situation is possibly more severe and complicated than what is known, regardless of what circumstances we are in, we should not worry and fear all the disasters, pandemic, and death, ‘because He is the Lord of our lives. If He does not allow [it to happen], we will not even have a single hair fall out from our heads.’”
Pastor Tan Songhua from Wuhan Cornerstone Church also told his congregation that although they face trials of faith and personal safety, Jesus only has “plans to prosper you and not to harm you (Jeremiah 29:11).” He then called on Christians to pray for this city, and bring the peace of Christ to everyone.

Please pray for the city of Wuhan: for the epidemic to stop spreading and experts to find a cure soon; and for local Christians to be able to bring Good News to their neighbors amid confusion, stress, and hopelessness.

Donald7610:

Kenneth10110:


Jesus never insulted or forced anyone to believe him

and neither did I insult or was forcing Christ on anyone. stop lying

k2money:

Shut your face scammer which holy spirit you get? Thief that's how they will be going around deceiving people of the spirit in them. That your spirit that can not do good thing but to inflict people with deadly disease. That disease kill you there.

its between you now and the Holy spirit.
only I pray that God shows mercy on u bro

LeeSantos:


I wished you could record what you wrote and play it to your ears, just to hear how meaningless your answer is.
There is absolutely nothing to pick from your writings. Reading it was a disturbance to one's brain.

it's all about understanding..
and know u understand..
happy Sunday

Otunba2004:
believe me bro.you can never fight on behalf of God does that hell is your home,do you believe that?if you don't then you didn't believe in scripture

.isn't it said that those called God's elects are they that won't deny him or keep their Mouth shut when the word of God is attacked.

plus your error is that u believe that I defend God of my own. but u forgot the Holy Spirit.

answer this pls
will the Holy spirit in a Christian keep quiet when God is accused unjustly ?

k2money:

This your rant portraits you of whom you are, is your kind that turn Boko Haram trying tó defend their imaginary god

am glad you made no sense

BearHugss:
You're the fool here.

am glad u made no sense

MasterRahl:
Why must you call her a fool? Someone reads a passage of the Bible and doesn't understand. She comes online to seek answers and you respond by calling her a fool?

please don't assume and find out the intention of Post by the op

Kenneth10110:



You don't need to call him a fool for you have also sinned and our God never insulted us because if he does where will his grace abide in us. We we're thought not to insult others

gosh what kind of people am I talking to here.

so when someone acts like a fool and I label him as a fool he displayed. its now called an insult.. heavenly father, master Jesus I now understand what u experienced trying to teach people.

I will only try my best

Nicedavo:


Do you have to call someone a fool several times in order to make your points? And you're sounding so sure u have the knowledge of the bible yet ignorant urself.

OP is confused and wanted a clarification and not a fool as you tagged him.

Please correct with love.

please read the intention of the op
its like when someone behaves like a homosexual I should not label him such in order to please who really ?. you or God ?.

if someone behaves like something bad you label them that. there countless references in the Bible; even Christ did so..

there is a difference btwn Cursing & Labelling
if a person steals and u call him a thief; is it cursing to you ?..

when people are in the wrong u chasten them for that behavior, u don't soothe their ego or color what's wrong with leniency.

this is the reason why in the world the redundancy & always using gentle methods lead people seeing good as evil and that which is bad as good

answer this was Christ always gentle in his words especially when chastening ?
in preaching the gospel there must be balance.
not every soul will be won by gentle messages
take that to the bank

JastSiryin:
You're the biggest idiot I've come across so far... If you didn't have an answer to give why didn't you just shut da hell up!?... It's your type that would never speak their mind, nor clear their doubts. End up going the grave a complete dunce that never really learned anything, neither could you exercise true faith in God because of those lingering doubts. Everyone has them, believe me. You just want to be ignorant, and somehow you think that's what faith is. Blind belief. You're clearly suffering from symptoms of fanaticism, I wish you a quick recovery bro.

am glad you made no sense

josephogaga:


My dear we r in the era of Grace, even when Christ was a walking flesh he didn't afflict people, like what u are about to do now, study the book of Mathew 5:38..

This is y knowledge to the blacks are limited cus it will be miss use, small anointing u have now u, u are now talking like a God

.

never intended to curse the person ooo I know Christ's instructions
some people no dey fear another person It's when u remind them of the Holy spirit they start trembling because we know say he doesn't tolerate nonsense at all...

its like telling a bully that ur big brother will teach him a lesson.
guy I know the family I came from; I can't be threatened any how
I know my identity, do you ?

k2money:

Why are you defending your wicked God?
If the story happens to be in Africa you people would have label that God evil.

am glad u made no sense

[quote author=198800Mam post=86504522][/quote].

when someone steals people gather and if u were among the crowd all will label him thief

now when someone here out of ignorance and deliberate stubbornness does not want to listen to reason and does the opposite of what is expected .he is labelled a fool right.

I wasn't in anyway cursing .but simply labelling the person to the behavior they displayed. like Christ did towards the Pharisees

its all about understanding..

finally u lack reasoning.
man not religion is the problem..

there is a difference between faith & religion. if ur eye never clear for Those two concepts..
don't quote me

Otunba2004:
seriously you're not a born again christian seen the way you have been attacking people from onset your altitude shows you're very arrogant if Jesus teaches people the way you do nobody will listen to him,plz change your way, calling people all sort of names haba because of what,if you can't cope with the topic then u shut your mouth you didn't help anybody here,your comment here didn't educate anybody but full of insult and intimidation,try that guy who told you,you should give him one week with your infliction, rubbish

first u aren't God to say am not one of his
secondly I acknowledge that I can flare up when I see people talking/assuming/preaching falsely against God but It shows am a son & disciple that loves his father and will speak up when it matters when gently or angrily
lastly I will say to my self I did what I have to do in that manner against the dogs that won't value the pearl. rather than beg/pacify their ego knowing that might not listen I delivered the message as a sword right to the accuser's heart.
don't think in preaching the gospel u will always use the gentle way. there must be balance.
if u call me arrogant by the manner I reproached them attacking God, what says u when my master drove out those that were selling in the temple ?

at least am doing something regarding the kingdom; what are you doing ?

kingxsamz:

I see no other fool here except you. You're the type that will believe anything your pastor tells you. Don't worry someday your senses will return.

am glad u made no sense

you are right.. Christ pointed it out

hupernikao:


What kind of biblical explanation is this? Have you now explained what he asked? Leave abuse aside, explain to him, that God can do evil and use evil, right? He is God and can decided to do evil yet don't want us to do evil? Bro, use scriptures and not sentiments .

seek understanding you won't,
you only read content not context
.please just answer this question

when has God done evil ?
point to the scripture pls u are referring to..

secondly, if you are a god how will you punish ur creation that continuously disobey you ?

let's see if you can use that grey matter on ur head for once

I won't label u names.. but look at urself in the mirror and see the error that clouds ur judgement
