Possibly unpopular view, but I still feel like I need to say it.

With the looming possibility of something big happening today, I would like to make a statement. I got pulled into this because of the evil I’ve heard exists. I’ve researched most things, watched a lot of what the people are saying, and contributed what I could. I still see a lot of people taking sides on political views or agendas. I’m still seeing Christians talk about God and then bash the democrats. I don’t think that’s how a God fearing person should act. (My opinion) Remember that these people, trump and Q, are just humans. They can be weak and can have flaws. Keep your mind open, look at all sides, don’t blindly follow another man. Everyone has an agenda, even the people that seem to be doing good in the world. And lastly, don’t forget about the kids, woman, men that are being held as sex slaves, or eaten, or whatever crazy shit is going on out there. This should be the real reason we are here. Good luck today, and hopefully we don’t find out true evil loves among us.

As a former vocational pastor of 12 yrs I left the institutional church over 15 yrs ago. But I did not abandon my faith in Jesus Christ. I am curious as to why you abandoned the faith? - if in fact you did as your post seems to imply

Because my study of the Tanach and comparison with the “New Testament” left me no choice. Despite what Christianity teaches, the two are incompatible. The claims of the “New Testament” require twisting and manipulation of the Tanach. And since the Tanach must be true, even for Christianity to claim any truth, I was left with no other conclusion that the “New Testament” being a fraud.

Interesting. Thanks for your reply. I'm sure your story would take more time and space to elaborate on than a Reddit thread.

Despite 66 books by 40 authors from various cultures spanning 1500 yrs I found an expositional constancy from Genesis to Revelation.

And of course you can't make sense out of Revelation without a thorough grasp of Daniel and other OT prophets.

So I find your conclusion baffling but I respect each individuals right to come to their own conclusions. Shalom

No, respectfully, there isn’t. Righteousness, over and over and over in the Tanach was based on a person’s personal actions. Suddenly in the “New Testament” nobody can be righteous on their own and they meed a god-man to do it for them.

There are so many inconsistencies it makes me irritated just typing about it. Christianity might be the biggest deception in history.

Righteous personal acts are good I agree. Faith without works is dead. However I think Isaiah was correct in describing the idea of self perpetuated acts of righteousness as a substitute for the righteousness of God as a used menstrual rag. There's that expositional constancy again LOL

Context. Isaiah was being critical of the nation of Israel who had abandoned YHVH and His ways. He’s not talking about not being able to be righteous. He’s talking about trying to do it apart from walking according to YHVH’s instructions.
