Everything Jesus said was a metaphor for some type of weird, universalist, reincarnation type of Christianity.  Okay.jpg

It's not. It's bullshit. It's preachy mystic hokum. It's complete and utter codswallop and the only reason mods haven't closed it is because it's christian. It's discriminatory bullshit.


Hey pal.... you think every religion is preachy mystic hokum, but guess what.... this is a religious discussion forum. Get over it.

This thread is specifically against the PaRD rules. In two ways in fact.

I'm not talking about the religion. I'm talking about this thread. It's not a discussion about religion - it's OP preaching. That's it. This is a religious discussion forum... not a church.

Also OP is just a spammer. He copied his OP from another website and along with a bunch of other spammers has spammed it all over the internet.

Legit topic? My arse.

Yet Frodo keeps coming back to reply to posts, as do other Christians. That's why the thread has made it 13 pages. Your thread was not legitimate because it was clearly not a serious discussion thread.

If he wants to preach only to christians then this whole thread should be moved to the Christian Fellowship. This is an open discussion forum. The Fellowship is for preaching and christian circle-jerks.

There is only one type of Christianity, and its all about Jesus.

all this is a metaphor created by man to keep under control the religions that imposes the law of fear.
does not exist.
is illogical, irrational and contradictory to the teachings of Jesus.

however, we have to respect the opinions of people who prefer to believe this information.

many still live in the darkness of ignorance, however one day there will wake up to all this. :hug:


You maybe too good, i prefer denounce it.

Before I lost my faith in religion/Gods I was a minister of a Methodist church, not a big one,about 50ish attending members.

I think there have been some misconceptions about the Grace message, which was one of my favorite yet most troubling sermons

Through the Blood of the new covenant brought by Jesus's death and rising. Grace has been given to everyone freely He (Jesus, God incarnate) has taken our burden of sin.

and all one needs to to is accept that gift to be washed clean. No amount of work, or good deeds, or tithing will get you in. Just accept the gift; Jesus, repent your sins, and love God.


now here was my problem we were told time and again how unworthy of the gift of grace we were, sinners one and all and how lucky we were to have Grace.

I had several people in my church that felt unworthy of that grace, and felt unable to overcome the sins they had lived with some for many years.

Sermon after sermon I would preach on how we sinners were so lucky to have Christ die for us, and these poor people felt as though He had died in vain for them.

what was I doing to them but torment? there was no comfort, no peace..



I thought about my own children and the unconditional love I have for them,

and how messed up they would be if I told them day after day; " I love you,..you don't deserve it but I love you anyway"

...what you failed to do was impart to them the understanding of forgiveness and it is for the best you are no longer teaching .
