I'm not concerned with your feelings.

Do you see how I is used in the sentence above, and not 'God' when i'm voicing my opinion?

Like I said, you don't know the meaning of the word sacrifice. If Jesus stayed dead then our faith and hope is all for nothing. We among all people would be pitied the most. Raping children and killing people is not a joke. It's deadly serious. A crime that would put you away for many years. How can you say that is a joke?

Sin is serving yourself instead of God. Sin is putting yourself in the position of God as ruler over your life. You do what you want and nobody controls you. You seek treasures and riches for this world and seek human praise. You belong to this world. That is sin.
Me, not being a part of this world see the bigger picture. Jesus saved me and I'm going to Heaven as the bottom line. That is what I think about at the end of this normal and casual conversations we're having. I'm still saved no matter what.

Selfish gain when I die? I store up treasures in Heaven where thieves do not break in and steal and dust and moths do not destroy them.



Well I guess you may be right in that sense. Logically though, why would a God need a human to sacrifice in order to feed God? Is God like a baby that humans need to feed them? That's what the other religions do. I adamantly believe that the LORD God almighty is correct because I apply my logic here. What is a concept of a God?
God is almighty and all knowing. There would be no need for a god of thunder, fire, water, ice etc. God almighty would be in control of all those things. How could a primitive human being earn anything or offer anything to God who created the Universe? I'm using human logic to compare God almighty with the other gods.

Other people with their religion, they worship and serve their god because they have to, I serve God almighty because I want to. The other people do not seem to get that one bit. I know some Catholic people who see their religion as a burden, they are stressed out that they need to do good works to earn salvation yet they know they'll get punished for a little while. Shouldn't religion make you happy? For most other people it sure doesn't, it is a burden to them. Not to me. My Christian faith is not a burden but a blessing. At least that's what I've noticed.



I do not compute what you're saying here due to that grammatical error. Please reconfigure.



First and foremost I know that you're reply is going to try to logically explain that it wasn't God and it would was a mental thing. I've heard it all before. Your reply will be no different so it won't be anything to remember. Anyway here it is once again.

I was at a leadership camp back in 2008. There are three stages: Stage one, stage two and stage three. I was on stage two. Stage one, part of the program is to go out with a group of about 8 people in the bush for about 2 days and 1 night. We have a program that we follow during that time.
Stage two, part of the program is to go out for 4 days and 3 nights for a solo, out alone in the bush where you can't take any electronic devices with you. For reading you are only allowed to take The Bible along. Stage three, part of the program is a duo where you go out with another person and bond with that person for 4 days and 3 nights.

So stage two, before we head out for our solo's it was threatening to rain. We would have to set up our tarps and quickly before it rained. That was the big concern. Anyway we set out, two sides on the road. Somebody would get dropped off every 50m but on each side of the road. So the next person on our side, either side was 100m away. Or cross the road and they would be 50m away. This was a solo so we were not allowed to talk to anybody else.

Anyway what happened was that I got dropped off at my sight. First thing I did was scout the area for a place to setup. I found a suitable spot, went back and grabbed my hiking bag. It would take 2 trips to get all my gear to the setup spot. The first trip went successfully. When I attempted the second trip back, I took a wrong turn and ended up very far into the forest. I was wandering about for more than half an hour. I Remember it was still threatening to rain, at least everybody else would have set up by now. So I was completely lost, it could rain at any moment. I could not do this on my own. What did I do? I prayed to the LORD to help me find my way back. I then went in a random direction and kept going that way and eventually I found my hiking bag that I had taken on my first trip. It was at that moment I felt God's presence. I had no electronic devices, just the forest, myself and God. He was able to speak to me without any interference from daily life. That was my experience and the moment I became a Christian.



Read it again and tell me.



Obviously I have because I predicted your reaction and I was correct. You don't believe unless you are given proof yet when you are given proof right in front of you, then you deny it. Even doubting Thomas believed when he put his finger in Jesus's side. When the evidence is there and yet you refute it, you're not going to get anything new. Take it or leave it.
Thomas took the opportunity, there is no reason why you cannot do the same. You say that many testimonies aren't proof, I beg the differ. If you hear an extraordinary story, you go out and ask many other people about it and they will all tell you the same thing except their perspective on the story.

You also know that the testimonies are true because everybody gives their version of the events that happened. You know if the testimony is false because if everybody tells you THE EXACT SAME story then you'll know it is a lie. If one person wants 500 people to tell a story, you will get 500 stories being exactly the same. If a story happens and 500 people witness it, you'll get 500 stories with a different perspective about it. That is when you know the stories are true and whatnot.

ever heard of chinese whispers?

Fuckin' dunked him.

...is bored an emotion ?

You're aware of course that christ was a human sacrifice.

I had a nice laugh at that post. I love it when Christians are painfully ignorant of their own religion. What can humans offer God? Well.... they offered him burnt meat and other things for a very long time according to the bible....

I guess God isn't a vegan, eh?

It's kind of strange that God likes the smell of burnt meat. Kinda weird that an all-powerful, all-knowing, omnipresent God smells a barbecue and just thinks "Oh God, that smells soooo good." Almost like he is based on human desires.

It's really not strange at all if you look into it.
