how much more is a human tree subject to controlled reproof,
the lord tests his chosen by fire:

Matthew 3:11 ;

“I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear:
he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:”
zech139
" And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine themas silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried.

..."And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer;
and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saintsupon the golden altar which was before the throne"

Revelation 15:8
“And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power;

You will get that eternal life like so many Christians I am sure. You just have to jump through a series of hoops like a good doggy. The muslims were promised 40 virgins, Christians were promised eternal life, riches and sit next to jesus in heaven, Jews were promised land of milk and honey, Buddhists were promised enlightment etc.

It's cute to see you beg for those things sadly they all await you when you die. Would be a real shame if someone took your money for those things, you are definitely not another sucker just believe harder

well if you see through the lies its hard to get reincarnated back here to listen to guys like you? if you keep dividing then you should ask who are you working for. the moment you can admit nroChristianity has become the same kind of false dichotomy that the political and scientific systems are - is the moment youre back on the straight and narrow baring your cross path.

The difference between the muslims and Christianity is who gave those promises. You might be asking how we can be certain of those promises of eternal life? The Bible can answer that as well.

Hebrews chapter 6 tells us about the certainty of God's promise.

Hebrews 6:13-20

The Certainty of God’s Promise
13 When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself, 14 saying, “I will surely bless you and give you many descendants.” 15 And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised.

16 People swear by someone greater than themselves, and the oath confirms what is said and puts an end to all argument. 17 Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath. 18 God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly encouraged. 19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, 20 where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.

As for finances, why do you suddenly care about what I do with my finances? Why do all the higher ups in Wall Street care about what I do when they didn't care in 2008 or in 2020? I tell you, I've never had SOOO many people be interested in helping me not lose money. I just don't understand the sudden change in heart.

Early Christianity is pretty wild

but they nailed down how i view the christian god: "a wrathful being who simply orders humans to behave in certain ways and punishes them if they do not" pretty cringe fellow if you ask me

I C what u did there!

This summerises your sentiment in one image

basically tour making excuses for being lawless

????

Jesus was a man that went around healing and feeding people

Christians are trying real hard to remind us how uneducated they are.
