Book Review - Everything you know about God is wrong

[subsonicbassist]

These things can be done by secular means but I haven't found that to be the case... instead of saying what is possible, I would rather make it possible myself :-) it's not about a church or religion or an agenda, it's about people showing God's love through their actions. I commend anyone that has a heart for helping people, after all God IS love!

[subsonicbassist]

My church helps feed the homeless, travels to prisons and does ministry, we take a stance in our environment and support our local government whether they are Democat, Republican or otherwise and do outreach and youth programs. We also have a bible college, a drug rehab facility on site and support Christian and non-Christian education. What are you a part of? While complaining about Christians, what are you doing to help people? Do you support missionaries? Don't complain if you don't know

[jesuriah]

How many of the things you listed can be done without a religious influence?

How many of these things could be done better by secular means?

I'm not trying to be offensive, just asking questions.

[subsonicbassist]

The church doesn't spread anything. The only church that has a stance on what you're saying is the Catholic church, and I could care less what they have to say. Religion isn't about love, it's about having rituals and condemning others and a false sense of spirituality. Christianity is about freedom, spreading love and living a healthy life where you serve people. My church doesn't need to take a stance on stem cell research; we take a stance on preserving life and I'm for it. We love all people

[subsonicbassist]

There is plenty of proof that he existed but would probably be lost on some. The fact that you don't accept He died for us doesn't change the fact that He loves you and wants you to seek Him. With the way the world is now, everyone wants a little bit of hope, and God is our hope. While the world is crumbling, crime is rising, disease are breaking out, companies are going under, the church is continuing to grow

The church spreads fear, it has since the beginning and that's all it feeds on! The church also did not allow the use of condoms in africa! The church is also against stem cell research which could save millions of lives and cure diseases but nope the church does not allow it! As you see your church creates the problems it try's to solve through prayer!!! So you can take your church and shove it up jesus's ass!!!

[subsonicbassist]

When Jesus returns to this Earth, he will give some of you another chance to believe him and some of you still won't believe. There are some that believe when it doesn't seem natural, some that believe ONLY when it is natural and those that don't believe even when it is natural. Don't be one of those, I believe you are much smarter than that. It doesn't make sense to our natural minds but it glorifies the one who died for us. God bless us all and prosper us

[SHEFFCITYSKATER]

he didnt die for us he just died like everyone else does and secondly he didnt exist so ermm he basically didnt die anyway

[BubbaBuie]

Oh yes Jesus of Nazareth never existed right... right? *sarcasm

Read a text book.

[hmj8786]

You mean read the bible which has no place in the factual section of the library!

[BubbaBuie]

Even the Koran will admit Jesus existed.

[hmj8786]

the koran copied most of the bible so that is still not credible!

[BubbaBuie]

You should read it. The difference is quite noticeable.

[subsonicbassist]

As many people as I can and help them through their problems. There is so much evidence on the goodness of God and I would like to share it with anybody that is willing. Check out the movie "Finger of God". It is UNDENIABLE proof that God is working miracles in these last days of our Earth and that He truly loves us. I accept the fact that I will never be perfect and I asked for help and was made righteous through God. God bless you all and continue to prosper your lives!

[s4stem]

No thanks.

[SHEFFCITYSKATER]

well said.

[BubbaBuie]

Hey, he could pull an Elijah and have God send a Grizzly bear at you. *biblical humor

[subsonicbassist]

the congregation was warm and friendly and offering help. I have never seen this type of kindness in my life and after studying the bible and the Truth of His Word, it made perfect sense to me why I was in these situations and why I had these things happen. I am not saying that you are dissatisfied with your life the way it is, I'm saying that the Lord has more in store for you and that is according to His riches in Heaven. I will not leave this Earth until it is my time because I want to love..

[subsonicbassist]

than just a man and that he was the son of God is on you. The bible is crystal clear on that fact, you would have to be dense and callous to overlook that fact. Atheists have as many rights as anybody else, btw. I do understand atheism as I was a devout atheist until a year and a half ago. I was so mad at God for no reason at all, and when things got bad I got worse. After three failed suicide attempts (God was with me the whole time) I finally started going to church. Every single person in..

[subsonicbassist]

First of all, stop. The book you think is so great was written by man, too. Nothing in the bible is inconsistent or irrational. God and Jesus make perfect sense in everything that thye did. Cruelty has nothing to do with it. There is cruelty in our world today and it's not God's fault. There is another force in this world that is acting to destroy it. there is irrefutable proof that a man named Jesus was born and crucified 2000 years ago. Whether or not you decide to believe that he was more...

[subsonicbassist]

Well, everything I know about God is right because I have read the bible. The bible is God's word, the teachings of Jesus and words inspired directly from Christ and God. Atheists are just people who can't accept the fact that some things will never be understood. If you would put your energy into loving people and serving the Kingdom of God, you would be so satisfied with life and wouldn't have to attempt to disprove anything. Jesus is life in this cursed world and miracles are surrounding us

[s4stem]

Well, then you haven't read the bible because it is full of inconsistencies, irrationality, and just plain cruelty. The bible was written by man, not Jesus or God. Jesus comes into question as having even existed. You really don't understand atheism either. You assume that my life is not satisfied with my life. If this world is so cursed then leave it and go to your kingdom?

[whineybtch]

Wow, very good!

[DeletedDelusion]

Cool, I'm just about to finish "misquoting Jesus" by Bart D. Ehrman.

Next up will be "Tricks of the Mind" by Derren Brown (English magician, psychological illusionist, mentalist and self-professed sceptic regarding paranormal phenomena.)

There is some cool stuff about his shows here on YT.

But I'll try to keep the books you mentioned in mind.

Thank you.

[s4stem]

Cool. I have seen the Misquoting Jesus book floating around and haven't decided whether or not to get it. The problem is that I have a lot of books to go through as it is, so I will hold off on getting some more far a little while.

[DeletedDelusion]

There is a whole 10 part lecture about his book here on YT.

It can be found on 4 diffrent channels, they are all run by muslims.

There was once a channel by an atheist who "hosted" these videos, it has been taken down.

Talk about equal tratment :(

[s4stem]

Well, atheists have the least amount of rights of any group. So, it doesn't surprise me.
