For the upcoming boom week
Double Bonus Boom
Ain't right how Michael Jordan did it, either. But there it is…
Shopped? Mebbe. It's still a double-bonus boom, and that's all it's meant to be, for my purposes.
If nothing else, it's worth a kek to watch a haji go circus on his MCRTA (Magic Carpet Ride To Allah)
Looking forward to it, but no faces. Be careful, including background. Let's not dox a brother anon. FWIW
Can't speak for others, but I do.
This is GOD we're talking about. He's not just slightly superior to us. He's able to do exactly what He wants and it doesn't really matter what mankind does. So yes. That's His Word, and I'll live by it.
Considering what it says, I'd say the Bible is legit. Careful study of it over time just confirms it 1000 x's over.
Besides, if it wasn't His true word, He'd have fixed it by now.
Respectfully disagree. Bacon is tasty and useful. I'm sure we can come up with other parts of the pig that would fit the bill.
Technically, Hebrew, Greek, Latin and Aramaic.
Assuming you're correct (that's highly debatable), so what? The first person to ever write anything down was recording past thoughts, and it's common knowledge that stories in many ancient cultures are actually passed down through generations by oral tradition before they were ever recorded.
Oh, I get it… "Muh different standard, cuz it's da Bible."
Fine, then. Can you PROVE Tacitus wrote all the shit in his works? Can you PROVE that Pliny wrote his?
Gonna rely on those for your understanding of history, but not the Bible.
You already aren't a believer. That's a problem for you (along with your ever-moving target of "prove me wrong").
Are you a math whiz? Then explain how the Old Testament, KNOWN to be written well before the birth of Christ, makes all of the following predictions about an unknown Messiah, ALL of which Christ fulfilled.
-
Was innocent, but still executed.
-
Hands and feet pierced.
-
Whipped, receiving stripes.
-
Lots cast for his clothing.
-
That none of his bones would be broken (particularly telling, since Roman practice called for the crucified to have their legs broken after they appeared to have lost consciousness, in order to hasten death).
-
Psalm 22 uses the exact words Christ uttered on the cross just before He died.
-
Born in Bethlehem
-
Would come from Egypt, where His family fled when He was a child (to avoid Him being killed for being the King of the Jews).
-
Would be called a Nazarene (it was His hometown as an adolescent to manhood.)
-
Would be betrayed for 30 pieces of silver.
-
Would be a descendant of David.
-
Would be buried in a rich man's tomb.
If you're not a math whiz, lemme help you out. Mathematically speaking, the odds of anyone fulfilling this amount of prophecy are staggering. Mathematicians put it this way:
The odds of 1 person fulfilling 8 prophecies = 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000.
Christ fulfills a minimum of 20, although many agree (me included) that there are at least 50 in the Bible.
If you're curious to learn more, there's plenty of people who can show you. But be careful. You might end up believing in God.
(Look at the evil spewing from the tips of your fingers)…
Because we're sinners.
(You're doomed)
No. We're forgiven.
(Your soul is not your own)
You're right. It's Christ's.
The Battle was finished when He visited you in Hell. But you already know that
Go father lies somewhere else. We ain't buyin' anymore.
How God became man, walked among us, and paid our debts of sin so He could have us with Him in Heaven, and Christ as it's King?
Yeah, God really didn't do any of us a solid at all, did he? (sarc)
Good news. If you sincerely believe and confess that Christ is Lord, acknowledge that you have sinned (not followed God's rules for us) and ask to be forgiven, IT SHALL BE GIVEN TO YOU.
Even on your death bed.
And not a single Christian will be unhappy that Heaven let you in. We'll celebrate.
Jesus HAD to be tortured to death. It was the fulfillment of the prophecy, and the Jews who did it are no more to be hated than anyone else. That was their role. Ironically, one of their biggest zealots jumped ship and joined the home team (see, e.g. Paul). There are some historical indications that even Caiaphas converted.
Considering that He shed His own, too, you've got some pretty picky standards, boy.
Or I guess that you just think that you're better than God?
I worship my Lord and Savior Jesus, the Christ…who forgives me my sins. For that, I have eternal life with Him in Heaven with the Angels and all the Host of believers.
That's how I reconcile
Torture? Ok, that happens to a lot of people. We're all gonna die. What happens after?
My God of peace hurts people? No, the fact is, people hurt people. Has God Himself ever killed people? Yes. First of all, He is God and gets to make those decisions. Second of all, God kills to exact punishment or judgment (related to point #1).
You're just pissed because you disagree with His judgment.
Pleasant dreams, if you have them. Or pleasant screams if you roll with Satan. Thanks for taking one for the team, you tried.
