So you're suppose to love a bunch of s who want your demise, and praise some inept jerkoff who created you sick and commanded you to be well, if you fail at that, off to eternal damnation and torture with you.. you're supposed to love him as well as fear him - the essence of sadomasochism. What kind of bull is that? And I'm supposed to respect that? I can't respect it, I suspect it.

What you're completely failing to take into account is how incredibly hot such domination is! It's as though your soul has been handcuffed to a post where the holy spirit can have its every way with you! Why can't people just appreciate that?!

I believe one of the big reasons Christianity is put down is because of hell and eternal torment. To defend that idea, I'll use an analogy used by a
minister:
Matthew slaughtered matthias' family and now they're at court. The judge tells matthew that he's a loving judge. He's innocent and will let him go. Matthias would go to the media or a way to the president and tell everyone that there's a judge who's more wicked than the murderer himself.
In the same way, how can God let any sinner enter heaven when they've broken God's laws? That is why I know that hell exists, but God's grace is extended to anyone who follows him.
I know you are confused. This outlet has brought some sanity to the Matt insanity.
You know what you want to say but can't find the right words or analogies. When it comes to murder or any crime in the court of law (varying where you live) the problem would be to let the person go free especially for murder. The person that commented that murder should do their time just how society is modeled after. The problem is rehabilitation in prisons, real prisons in society and those metaphorically prisons religious people feel we live in. And people that do live in these so called metaphorically prisons that have nothing to do with the lack of religion at all. I understand murder is an extreme crime and rehabilitation should still be offer to those people but I don't know if they should ever be released back into society, at least at this time on Earth.
So if God says you are a sinner (God being a Judge) and someone broke one of his laws then you are not allowed to go to heaven is what you are basically saying. A judge in society has a boss that will fire him if he does his job improbably. But God is the boss of all bosses(going along with the story here). The problem is, does God offer rehabilitation? I think he should if I was religious and I know there are churches out there that believe in that, like the Pastor that would write Jeffrey Dahmer. But the way you seem to be being taught is a sin is a sin no matter what degree (unless I have missed something) So does the person/church that is teaching you have degrees of sin just like the law has degrees of crime. I murdered my wife so I go to hell. But what if I was a bum and hungry and walking through a wal-mart parking lot and saw a car window open with a purse in the front seat and I stole it and gained $777.77 from it and fed myself for months with it. What is gods judgment on thou shall not steal compared to thou shall not kill since they are both sin. And to take it one step further what if the purse had $666.66 in it and I used most of it on drugs and alcohol. Both situations deal with stealing but is their a difference in what you do with the money? The way you are being taught seems very basic.
I tried to word this very simply so OP could not be confused over big words and complexes.
Still, Kooler Than Jesus though.

I have a steadfast conviction that the Father, Son, and Spirit are alive and well since the beginning of time; and that the Godhead (whose three in one) will show immeasurable love to anyone who accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
I believe the holy spirit, the 3rd person in the trinity, has told me deep down in my gut to make this thread.
If I dislike anyone in any way in this thread, you can write me off as a two-faced bible thumper who doesn't practice what he preaches. I'm a servant who was pre-destined by God to show Christlike compassion to christians and non-christians alike. I hope I didn't say that in a conceited manner.
If you have any prayer requests or want to seek his glory, I can gladly be a helping servant. Jesus was the embodiment of humility, so hopefully I can be a modest contriutor.
Morning glory bro, I admire your conviction, but honesltly...people will believe or not believe what they want, it's on them to figure out the path they want to take in life. This is a forum after all, you're kind of laying down the building blocks for Troll City...again, not hating, just saying. Tell people your sentiments IRL

Is it wrong to eat meat on Good Friday? with that, I think people follow tradition tightly possibly never pondering with precision as to why they do whatever it is that they do or follow whatever it is that they follow...kind of like going to a Catholic school and throwing up the Trinitarian formula daily but never exactly stopping and saying "hey, why do I do this and what is the significance"...just like some Nazi's not coming to terms with that they've done until much later..oh yeah, I said it!

Nobody's getting any action tonight. Jews can't eat anything that rises
and Catholics can't eat meat.

Can someone tell me if this is true?
I laughed a little when I first read this but don't have the time to verify and research everything. Apparently Jesus Christ is going to return which is more commonly referred to as the second coming and unite the jews, muslims and christians and all abrahamic religions will set aside their differences and hatred for one another and fight as brothers and sisters in a war against evil, basically the devil and the antichrist and his army. Christ will lead the army of good and defeat evil after which there will be a thousand years of peace. This is the only way there will be peace in the middle east and everyone will live happily ever after LOL.

no. you're a ing idiot.
the event you're referring to is 'the rapture'. when this happens, we will finally exterminate (see:banish to the deepest pits of hell) the jews, the muslims, and all you heathen atheists. with you guys gone, we'll finally have 'peace on earth'.
