  • God is a tremendous, unabashed, incomprehensibly selfish dickward. Being that prideful is wrong for anyone, including gods.

  • This answered so many questions that I've been struggling with, questions that satan has been putting in the back of my mind. Thank you!

  • God is perpetual glory never subjective. He does not have a passion for His glory He lives naturally always perpetuating glory, never subjective. Piper once said to his congregation," you step on God's glory everyday", he is insane in saying this.God's glory can never be marred,ever. All men glorify God, but few glorify Christ.All things are to the glory of God.God is glory never brought to Him but by perpetual self existing Life.God is not offering man a choice to glorify Him that is impossible

  • saying truth is relative is like saying honesty is relative, integrity is relative. Loving your children? "in some cultures they beat their children to a pulp when coffee isn't made right...but in that culture it is right to kill your child." Relative? "in some cultures, raping women is a honorable thing." Relative?

  • To be honest...i think christian actually think more than non christians...because christianity is both a spiritual and intellectual exercise...anyone who is stuck in the ways of the world just thinks their wise....but it takes one who is humbled by god to really think....wow...i actually don't know it all...and there's someone greater than me that is wiser....that is humility and that is when u are unblinded by ur pride....because that's all pride does...it makes u lazy and makes u think ur wis

  • Wake up.

  • @Ievolovel

    In other words, you believe that this whole Christianity and God business is all hogwash? The wise are not bloated with pride, thinking they are smarter than God. If there truly is a God that is greater than all things and you are one of his creations, your "reasoning" against His existence won't save you from Him. You can continue living in the deceit that your logic is greater than an all-powerful God or realize the foolishness in that and submit yourself to God.

  • You honestly think if there is a god that he is going to be happy that people just submitted to him? Or happy at the people that actually tried to study and learn the real world around us rather than just simply saying a god did it?

    And what makes you so sure that you're right? I'm sure you are just a reflection of your parents and you're scared of some eternal place of torture called hell so you just believe for that reason.

    If you were brought up in India you would be a Buddhist or Hindu.

  • What makes you so sure that your christian god is the only and all mighty that hears every humans murmurs that believes in him and answer prayers and make miracles happen?

    This is just the easy way out of using that fucking brain you have...

    1st. You just say god did it

    2nd. You state that his intellect is much greater and advanced so their's no use in trying to understand.

    Ok... well in that case lets lead pointless lives and serve an invisible being that has no evidence of existence.

  • FYI, I lived years rejecting Christianity. If anything, I was closer to the end of the rejection side of the spectrum. It didn't help that I was heavily into punk music and the most cynical of them all, Black Flag, was my number one favorite band. You're not talking to some kid who grew up with Christianity as a tradition. I HATED Christianity. You're talking with a former skeptic. You can bring any argument like "circular reasoning" but face it, your mind is as limited as mine.

  • Are you fucking joking? Black Flag speaks more truth than you fucking holy book.

    How was Black Flag even bad? They were a straight edge band you idiot.

    I'm convinced you made half that shit up, but whatever.

    My mind isn't limited because mine is open.

    Yours is closed off in your little god world where you simply say god did it.

  • What!? They certainly weren't straight edge! Henry used to use LSD before shows and you clearly saw Chuck in Decline of Western Civilization drinking a beer. Is that good enough for credibility? Check your facts again. I was into punk rock. I loved Zero Boys, Bad Brains, SSD, DOA, early Beastie Boys, Germs, X, Adolescents. I loved all of them, and I rejected all of them.

  • That's where you messed up.

    I wish you ignorant religious fanatics could step back from your daily routine of trying to convert people with pure minds and see the dumb shit you spew and do.

  • From your comments, it also appears that you have a poor understanding of Christianity. Why oppose something you don't even understand? Why always look to sources that are solely critical of Christianity? Don't you think you're getting biased information? Or do you just stick us in the categorization of "religion" and don't care? You accuse me of not using my brain and taking the easy way out, but you're guilty of the same thing.

  • Poor understanding? I understand that religion was created to control the masses (just look at ancient egypt). And I understand that I grew up in a fundy christian house where I was rejected by my father because I believed that science was the only way and that all religion does is fuck everything up.

    Have a nice life consuming bullshit you don't need and following another man made shitty religion that serves no purpose.

  • I grew up in a home that was Catholic, but I didn't know even the basics of Christianity. Are you gonna tell me that just because you grew up in a Christian household, you all of a sudden know enough about Christianity?

  • I've read the bible twice on my own and I studied it along with my father because I was forced to from the age of 9 to 16.

    I think I know more than the majority about christianity.

    Oh quick question... where do animals go when they die?

    Or are they not on the same plane as humans therefore they are less important in your eyes?

  • @Ievolovel

    Have you ever considered 1 Corinthians 1:18 which says, "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."

    You never wondered if you could be one of those who are perishing? If you can remember from (forcefully) reading the Bible twice, do you remember that it says only the Spirit gives knowledge and wisdom of these things? What if while you and your father read the Bible, you never had the Spirit?

  • @Ievolovel

    Note the keyword here: "FORCED"

    You're not forced into Christianity except that God Himself compels you (John 6:44.) What happened to your biblical knowledge when you were blind to the error of your father in FORCING you to study your Bible? Do you really think you know about Christianity?

  • Well then I guess that makes my dad god because I was definitely forced into it.

    But I must know... why are you so confident that christianity is the correct religion and all others are false?

    Serious question I'm actually curious.

  • @Ievolovel

    For several reasons, some more complex than others. For starters, my personal experience not only in myself (which by itself is already a miracle of God) but also His work in others which can be described in no other way outside of "miraculous." These are inner changes, nothing possibly superficial. More complex reasons have to do with the Scriptures, its tens of thousands of manuscripts, the historical witness of Jesus and the apostles. That must be explain in much greater detail.

  • So you're telling me someone who is a hindu and say's the exact same thing you did, but replaces the god with lord krishnah is wrong? And that when they die they go to hell...

  • @Ievolovel

    The problem is that Hindu's don't say the same thing. In fact, no religion teaches what Christianity teaches. This is why I tell you to really get to understand Christianity. Other religions rely too much upon the effort and work of humans. They say that you're the one who brings upon your own "enlightenment" or salvation or Nirvana. But, Christianity says that GOD brings you salvation and that your own works are meaningless. He chooses us, not vice versa.

  • God brings salvation? Other religions rely on human effort to gain nirvana?

    I'm pretty certain that's exactly what christianity requires too.

    Get up early sunday morning and go worship and give away hard earned money to some plastic douchebag preaching bullshit?

    Is that not effort?

    If he finds me then why do I see people on my campus preaching about how I need to seek god?

    You contradict yourself as much as the bible does.

  • @Ievolovel

    I didn't say "rely on human effort". I said "rely TOO MUCH on human effort."

    Philippians 2:12 definitely says to "work out your salvation" but 2:13 continues, "for it is God who works in you, both to will and work for His good purpose."

    Effort is definitely part of it. But, ultimately God makes it happen, and makes it happen with a true God-serving heart. That's what differentiates true Christians from legalistic "Christians". Isn't people's preaching God's method of FINDING YOU?

  • Doesn't say in the bible...go to church....the bible doesn't require u to spread the gospel....but because u are saved....u would want to and it is a fruit of the spirit....salvation is not a work of human effort ...salvation comes first...and then human works come after...

  • @hvyd4life

    I don't know where you get the idea that the Bible doesn't teach to spread the gospel. Off the top of my head, the fourth chapter of 2 Timothy gives the command "Preach the Word."

    No human work can please God, for Isaiah wrote that our "righteous" deeds are as filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6.) Instead, work out your salvation (continually repent and live as if the gospel was real) for God is the one who works in you to will and work for His good pleasure (Philippians 2:12,13).

  • @hvyd4life "the bible doesn't require u to spread the gospel"... Yes it does actually. Matthew 28:16-20

  • @Ievolovel

    I really challenge you, if you have the time, to read a book called "More Than A Carpenter" by Josh McDowell, a greater skeptic than I. It goes over historical context of the Bible, and uses actual human reason to give an account to the Bible's accuracy. No theological or doctrinal content for the most part. This book was made for skeptics. It's available online or hopefully in a local Christian bookstore. (ps: read this long after I became a Christian too.)

  • What event ,if you will, caused you to become a Christian?

    Or was it over time?

  • @Ievolovel

    It was really just stumbling upon a college campus ministry by invitation of a friend. Being a nice guy (because we're close friends), I just went along with it. Saw that what I had understood about Christianity based on the things I heard from opponents (ie: Flag) were all false. Gradually, it made sense to me, and it became more related to my life (as a sinner and a human clinging on to my own "knowledge".) Eventually embraced the faith and I semi-actively study theology.

  • I feel extremely bad for you. Giving up listening to good bands and devoting your only life to basically nothing.

    Hopefully one day you reject it all again and live life to the fullest the way that suits you and you can listen and do the things you want without being threatened by eternal torture in a place that doesn't exist.

    All false threats.

    I've got to go now. I'll pray for you... and sacrifice a goat for you too.

  • @Ievolovel

    But, my basis for believing was deeper than just a knowledge-based understanding of Christianity. The reason I'm a Christian today is because God sought after me and gave me knowledge and wisdom of the gospel. Made me understand that I could live my whole life listening to punk music and saying there is no God. But, instead He saved me from all that. That's the grace of God that was too irresistible for me to walk away from.

  • Ok now how exactly did he bless you with this vast knowledge and wisdom of the gospel? How did he make you understand it?

    Did you just see god or hear his voice and it told you to do this?

    If so I think you're fucking crazy and should be locked into an insane asylum.

  • @Ievolovel

    Then you should be glad that that's not what I'm saying. Compare you and me. You read the Bible twice and your still don't comprehend the message of the gospel. I've only read through a number of books of the New Testament, and I understand the gospel. Everything else I read from then on fits into a systematic theology that I've come to understand and attribute to God's providing.

  • See this is another reason why I hate religion. The followers think that some divine power blessed them with knowledge and wisdom and they act like they are so much higher then those who oppose them.

    You're just another confused asshole brainwashed by those around you.

    Religion had its chance and it fucked up.

  • @Ievolovel

    I never said I was better than you. I'm a sinner just like you. We're both on the same level. I never did anything to deserve this wisdom, therefore I have no good reason to be on a high horse. God gave this wisdom indiscriminately and without requiring merit.

  • Doesn't matter what you believe if a Christian God truly exists. Your opinions are overrided by God's declarations. Shouldn't you pride yourself in being a sinner in light of Christianity anyway? It just means that you believe you are god and that you are the center of your universe and reality.

    Do you know what the first beatitude is? "Blessed are the poor in spirit" because those who deny that they are sinners cannot be saved and dare I use the H word?

  • Take your god and shove it up your tight christian think you know it all ass.

  • levolovel I think your forgetting what sin means, For sample Have you ever stole? that would make you a thief!

    Have you ever told a lie? That would make you a lier! and so on.... its all sin in gods law!"

  • no, it's sin to you and your silly followers of another religion that thinks it is right out of all the rest.

    If i steal then im a thief... this is true, but not a sin. To you it is and that is all.

    It's that simple.

    It's extremely simple, actually.

    But of course you won't get it.

  • "If someone came in your house a murdered one of your fammley member's, would you want justice? ..or corse you would.

    It is the same as god would see us stealing and lusting

    The way to sin is death!! but god loves that much he sent his begotten son to die on the cross for our sin's So all it takes is for to repent!" And thats it. And i never knew having a relitionship in god is a religion... Its a faith!".

  • Like I said, you didn't get it.

    Stop misusing quotations and learn to spell.

  • @Ievolovel TRUTH IS NOT RELATIVE. Sin is sin for you, for me, and for everybody else. Sin is what God says sin is. Not what you want it to be.

  • No, sin is for you and you only because that is what """"""""YOU""""""""" believe in. Sin is what """""""MAN""""" says sin is. It is not your position to force your dogma on me unless you are god.

    And you aren't because he/she/it doesn't exist.

  • @Ievolovel is relative truth true for everyone, or just for some people? truth is truth

  • Ok, well I'm gonna go jerk off my boyfriend and then die and go to hell for being gay then start a black metal band with some demons and rock the fuck out for eternity in a fiery like of death and misery because I didn't believe in your magical sky daddy.

  • You know what else has just as much evidence that a god or gods exist?

    ...

    A leprechaun.

    A unicorn.

    A kraken.

    A werewolf.

    All those were made up by man... just like god(s)

    They had no explanation for something because it seemed to elaborate to explain or figure out so some god(s) must have created it...

    Really now? This is the 21st century and we know better than to think in a primitive way like that... well some of us.

    Have fun leading a blind life full of lies.

  • Not replying anymore because I'm not going to get anywhere.

    Maybe one day you will understand this is the only life you have so make good use of it don't throw it away because some god made up by man told you too.

    Have a nice day.

    May god be less.

  • Great sermon! Thanks so much for posting this! If anyone doesn't have time to watch the whole video at least watch starting at 35:50 where he talks about the glory of God in the cross.

  • Yes! how is this on here its 52 minutes!?

  • This is wonderful! It needs to be shown in all churches everywhere. So much truth that doesn't get preached in alot of churches.

  • This is such a powerful message! Praise God.

  • God deserves all the GLORY from us and we deserve His WRATH! Praise God for His MERCY and GRACE!

  • @InSlaveryToChrist You are in an abusive relationship.Get help!

  • Thank you so much for the great post! I totally know that this is true...however my flesh, the devil & world system heck away at my focus on God and Love of Himself. GOD HELP ME GET THIS! LIVE THIS! SPREAD THIS!!! Give me words to explain it to other children of yours!?!?!?

  • Keep your heart contrite and repentive and HE will keep you and give you the strength, knowledge and wisdom to endure and live this as you desire. You pray for me as I will pray for you!
