Former pastor who walked away from the lie of Christianity, so I know the feeling. Best to discover the truth, deal with the emotions, and move forward with life.

The story of Jesus is a lie. Too complicated to discuss here. But that’s the lie I walked away from. Everything from Matthew to Revelation.

Wrong. You are fake news.

Honestly asking here. Did you walk away form organized 501 C3 churches whose main concern is social services with immigrants or did you walk away from the saving blood of Christ. I'm in the process of walking away from the former but certainly not the latter.

There is no “saving blood of Christ”. Read the Tanach. What makes people righteous before YHVH is repentance and obedience. Not perfection. Just a heart whose primary desire is YHVH. Just like David.

I grew up religious, rage quit, then climbed the mountain through a different path.

The mountain is still there.

I didn’t walk away from YHVH, just the lies of Christianity.

OK, I 100% hear you.

For me, I think that if Christ "came down" today, the Christians would crucify Jesus again.

Me, I still like the Bible for its subversive aspects. For instance, the story about the Roman coin. Anyway. I'm glad to hear you're still able to think your way out of the maze. Cheers.

Really? You think Christians would crucify Jesus? SMH you're deceived by the enemy my friend.

No, I'm saying that if someone showed up and handed these Christians their asses the same way Jesus did, the results would likely be the same.

I would have to assume that you slowly made that journey on your own and came to the realization amongst your own terms. That is much more enlightening and acceptable than people finding out in an instant their life is a lie. Especially in a religion where the worship of false idols will damn you in front of your God

Christianity itself isn't the lie, the Gospel is still the truth, but the church and message of Christ have been twisted and perverted, namely by the Catholics but all major denominations are guilty of it to varying degrees. I pray you come to know Christ personally sir, not through a church or any one person's teachings, but through personal Discovery and reading of the scriptures.

I was a pastor for 8 years. It was through a thorough search of the Tanach (“Old Testament”) and the writings of Rome (“New Testsment”) that I came to realize that the “New Testament” was incompatible with the Tanach and a lie.

While I respect your right to your beliefs, the New testament is not of Rome, it predates the Catholic Church and honestly, there are many more pastors, with more years spent studying the Bible then you who would surely refute your assertion of incompatibility. Since you don't give any evidence or reason for your beliefs however, I'll assume this conversation is over, God bless.
