Have you all been thinking about the Lord?

It happens.

Namaste

So I finally decided to actually get to work instead of just yelling into my phone like a crazy person at the gas station where I had gone to fuel up for the night.

My first contact was with a guy with the hairstyle I share with Yul and a prosthetic limb. The leg missing below the knee was unrelated to my assignment which was just paperwork-related, but made his rather tske-life-as-it-comes demeanor interesting.

The first thing of a personal nature that he said to me was, "You seem like a very calm person."

To set the scene he had mentioned that he needed to get down to Walmart which wasn't very far so I offered him a lift and his commentary was relevant to my piloting the vehicle through heavy, rather aggressive traffic.

Anyway, the guy is a follower of Sadhguru, which looks kind of interesting.

You don't get to namaste when YOU start shit. I have to namaste.

Christianity seems to be the only faith that those who are not adherents get to use against the Christians.

You couldn't be more wrong. Christ doesn't compel anyone to do anything. That's sort of the point.

Christians are also not required to be martyrs and are in fact permitted righteous indignation. Admittedly a lot of people think that they're righteously indignant when really they're just pissed off and being frankly not very Christian. Good news though is that they don't have to acknowledge or accept your judgment of them any more than you need to accept their judgment of you.

Jesus Fucking Christ.

 

[Comshaw]

It's popular in certain circles to ridicule Christians, but what's the point of that? To display an ignorance of your own spiritual nature? At least one creative person is expressing generally kind thoughts involving spiritual matters, but you can't allow that without spewing semantic vitriol? In many ways, you are manifesting a "demonic" energy, in that your vapid souls are empty and gasping, akin to a sucking chest wound, and desperately regurgitating the latest anti-god nonsense.
If you are unaware of the real reality, the spiritual reality; try prayer.

You reckon that's on Amazon?

Also I super love that we've derailed the Jesus thread to talk about a hot Russian Actor.

Naw, that ain't no damned fun! I was always taught that people in glass houses oughtn't to throw rocks. So when someone get's all twitterpated about disrespect for christmas, they should be reminded that the only reason jesus birth is celebrated at this time of the year was to smother and de-legitimize the Pagan celebration of the winter solstice.

As I've said many times, personally I don't care what you celebrate, who or what you pray to, AS LONG AS it hurts no one else. Claim that jesus is the son of god, claim that mohamed is THE profit, claim that budda is the way; help yourself 'cause it makes no never mind to me. On the other hand, don't try to tell me I have to believe in a magical man in the sky or any other religious fairy tale; don't try to tell me you can voice your support for a particular flavor of religion, but I can't voice my opposition to it. And don't, ever, try to feed me lies in a candy coated wrapping of religious fervor. Ain't gunna happen and ain't gunna work.

No, that’s just your personal persecution complex talking.

Christianity is the dominant religion in English-speaking countries, by far outstripping all others. That’s why it’s the primary subject of religious conversation on the English internet. That’s it, that’s the only reason. Full stop. No one here hates you because of your faith, Que.

You couldn't be more wrong. Christ doesn't compel anyone to do anything. That's sort of the point.

You are quibbling over the meaning of the word “compel.” He didn’t mean it in a “irresistibly forces you” sense or a sense that abrogates free will.

Christians are also not required to be martyrs and are in fact permitted righteous indignation.

People who get righteously indignant are jerks who self-dope off the hormones their brain releases when they feel outrage.

Admittedly a lot of people think that they're righteously indignant when really they're just pissed off and being frankly not very Christian.

Indignation is wrath. You know, one of the big 7 sins for Christians. Or I can quote Yoda about fearing for your mother leading to the Dark Side.

[CandiCame]

And no. Indignation is not wrath indignation is indignation and wrath is not wrath. There's a reason we have two different words for those two completely different emotions.

Jaweh threw the money changers out of the Temple in an example of righteous indignation over the defilement of His Father's sacred house.

He did not do so in a fit of pique.

I'm constantly amazed that you claim to have a law degree but seem to think that words are infinitely interchangeable and aren't tremendously impressed with actual definitions that are agreed upon in order for human beings to actually communicate clearly.

Do you even own a copy of Blacks?

Type with your fingers. Like usually it doesn't bother me but idk what you're trying to say here.

 

[CandiCame]

Also, there are no big sins. Only sins.

You either are striving to live in harmony with the gospel or you are not.

Whichin?

My favorite gospel is the one with the earthquake zombies. We don't see enough of that in the Jesus movies.

Matt, Matt was the one who talked about the zombies. That was killing me.

Obey the gospels and summon the living dead.

51 Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, 52 and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who rested therein were raised; 53 and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.

Like... Matt you're burying the lead. Go more into that. Don't just fucking gloss over the goddamn zombie apocalypse.

It's a storybook, Que. It gets tiresome to explain to adults that zombies aren't real.

Edit: Also you are just wrong about some sins not being worse than others.

Proverbs 6:16-19 New International Version (NIV)

16
There are six things the Lord hates,
seven that are detestable to him:
17
haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
18
a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
19
a false witness who pours out lies
and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.

This is the shit you burn for, but if you just want to, say fuck somebody on their period, you just get banished.

Leviticus 20

18 “‘If a man has sexual relations with a woman during her monthly period, he has exposed the source of her flow, and she has also uncovered it. Both of them are to be cut off from their people.

Oh, look at it nestled there in the same list of shit that says to kill me and every guy I've ever fucked.

13 “‘If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

Actually, kill me twice. I've told both my parents to go fuck themselves more times than I can count.

9 “‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death. Because they have cursed their father or mother, their blood will be on their own head.

No, kill me three times, I've fucked married women too.

10 “‘If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress are to be put to death.

Ok. Ok. There has to be some compromise here. I'll meet you in the middle.

Edit: Not to nitpick but it always bothers me when we have these pics of Jesus in Heaven or just any time after the resurrection and he still has the hat on. Like... you can take it off.

I'm going to have so much fun screwing with your lives. 'Merciful?' HA!! You haven't seen anythng yet. Toothaches are only the beginning.

I love Christ, but dislike church.

A love for Christ is all that matters



I see many wicked people on this thread. Do you think you'll win against God, the Holy redeemer? How dare you.

 

[wistfall1]

I see you don't like to read the bible,

doesn't it say to "meditate on" his word? Now how can you meditate on his word if you don't read it? Shame on you. Open the book & read what it's all really about, and find your peace.

My Eastern mysticism is weak so I bow to your expertise on the matter.

Don't worry, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Taoism, Sikhism, they are all just like Christianity. They all reach the same conclusion, omniscience, they just get there in different ways.

I would love to get Sam Harris in a room and tell him my thoughts about about how Buddhism and Christianity reach the same conclusion. I've even got diagrams to portray my thoughts!

Speaking of Sam Harris and Buddhism. There's a couple of sadsack atheists in my philosophy forum, who are Sam Harris adherents, and they are struggling to accept Buddhism, but they really want to because Sam teaches it now.

The Deist have a line that sums up their type of Christianity succinctly, I think you'll like it. God gave us reason, not religion.

Hey Zeus taught a lot more Eastern stuff than his "church" lets on.

Norse mythology has a concept similar to Samsara?

This thread is full of pure evil. How dare the trouble makers do this.

But have you read the book of Daniel? No?

I'll make it easy on you: read chapter 12, then compare it to what Jesus supposedly says in three of the gospels of when he'll return. It's the gateway to beginning to really understand it all.

Now, do you dare to do as the bible tells you to do; meditate on his word? Or will you forever let yourself be blind?

I wish you luck & peace.
