If I believe the sky is green and the sun is black... does that make me right???

Not all beliefs are correct.

Islam still follows the laws set forth in the Old Testament.

Christianity (is supposed to) follow the ideas Jesus gave Christians. We live under grace because we were given grace when he died as a sacrifice for us... and we are supposed to extend that grace to our fellow man.

Unfortunately... we humans... are human... and don't always do things right.

Ain't that the sad truth... in the Best of men there will be some evil and in the worst of men there will be some good ...so many mysteries until it's all revealed in the end
 
While all I can say about the video... is that some clips were taken out of context (without reference or explanation)...

I will say: Poor kid... He doesn't know the difference between religion and faith... anymore than you do.

You are going to have to try harder... than a poorly made/edited video with a bunch of half truths based on one persons half hearted experience.
 
You'd actually be better off to talk to the wall than to talk to the worm. The wall is more likely to say something intelligible.

Cannabis was used for religious rites at a biblical site in Israel, study finds | CNN

Materials on altars from a religious shrine in Beer-sheba Valley, in Israel's biblical site Tel Arad, contained cannabis and frankincense, a study found. It's the first time physical evidence of cannabis has been identified in the Ancient Near East.

nothing is out of context to the boy 04.
he knows of what he speaks.
he was worse than you in it.
yet he saw the true light.
good for him.
 
And I doubt the high preists in the tabernacle were sitting around getting stoned.

Multiple versions of cannibus exist... and have multiple purposes. I think CNN is a little late to the game with that article.

Hey Worm... remember back on page 31 or 32... that meme you did about "brown skinned middle eastern non english speaking people" (I think that's close to how you worded it)

Well ISIS is the persecutor now (not Christians) of many faiths in the Middle East.

God is Only a Theory

July 2007




I have given much thought to the creationists’ demand that evolution be stricken from public school science classes, or that it be taught side-by-side with creationism because “evolution is only a theory” and since “no one was there to witness the creation” we cannot say for sure what really happened.

I have come to the conclusion that what’s fair is fair, and that the creationists have a good point. After all, isn’t education all about hearing both sides of an issue? And they are correct, no one was there to witness the creation, so any ideas about who or what caused the creation can only be speculative theories and therefore never provable.

Therefore, I am certain that Ministers, Priests, Rabbis, and religious leaders of all sects will be pleased to read the following disclaimer to their respective congregations every Sunday morning, or before any sermon delivered:


Good morning ladies and gentlemen, God bless and welcome to [fill in the name of your church, temple, mosque, or center of worship here].
This morning we are going to talk about the creation of the universe and the origins of life on Earth. According to the Bible, Genesis 1:1–3: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.”

Now, it is important for us to understand that no one was actually present at the creation so we don’t really know what happened. Genesis 1:1–3 is only a theory, and as such cannot be treated as fact. And it is only fair that I share with you that there are other theories of the creation.

For example, some Sumerians and Babylonians, Gilbert Islanders, Koreans, and Greeks believed that the world was created from the parts of a slain monster; some Zuni Indians, Cook Islanders, and Tahitians have a theory that the world was created by the interaction of primordial parents; and some Japanese, Samoan, Persian, Chinese, and Hindu have a theory that the world was generated from an egg.” And, of course, there is that dogma being foisted upon us by the liberal media and intelligentsia, the theory of evolution.

As for the origins of human life, that is spelled out in Genesis 1:27: “God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” Of course, not only was no one present to witness this act — except for Adam and Eve after they were created — I should point out that this theory has a counter theory in Genesis 2:7, where “the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” In this theory Adam is all alone without a mate, so in Genesis 2:21–22 “the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.”

Since everyone here was blessed by the almighty with a brain that thinks, I will allow you to decide which theory is the correct theory of the creation of humans, Genesis 1 or Genesis 2. Weigh the evidence and decide for yourselves. You be the judge.

Oh, there is one other minor detail. Adam and Eve begat Cain and Abel, and as you all know Cain — as firstborns are wont to do to their laterborn siblings who compete for the limited parental resources — slew him. That left Adam, Eve, and Cain as the only humans on the entire Earth. But in Genesis 4:17 we read that “Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch.” Now, I don’t mean to burden you with more of the liberal media’s fascination with smut and porn, but I think as created beings endowed with intelligence and critical thinking skills blessed to us by the good Lord, it might be reasonable to ask just who it was that Cain “knew.” Unless Adam was himself blessed with both types of reproductive organs, or Cain was capable of parthenogenesis, then we are left with the theory that Cain “knew” his mother. But that’s just a theory, and as we all know, theories are just wild guesses and should not be taken seriously.

Unfortunately, with all the disinformation leveled on a population of manipulated genetics, Its does look silly on the surface. But then its all part of the big picture to separate the boys from the men as to what REALLY is going on here. Christianity as practiced was in big trouble when the Pope murdered every man, woman and child who were Cathars. You have what you have.....a confused mess of "interpretations". Sad as it all is, you all will run head long into the truth once you reach your last earthly breath. We can all agree on that.
 
Any one interested in exactly where the truth is "should" have enough time on their hands to listen to these NDE'ers. At the 49 minute mark, Howard was a devout atheist until his experience of physical death. Once he came back, he was a new man and a devout Christian / believer in God. One may say these are but anecdotal and not a stitch of science. And thats OK, hopefully, its a matter of time when you might get your own anecdotal awakening as I did 46 years ago.
 
As we travel we should study. lets begin for example With THE SHROUD OF TURIN WHICH IS ACTUAL PROOF OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS THE CHRIST (try Barrie Schwortz The Shroud of Turin Website - Home Page web site for starters )
In fact not only do we not know HOW THE SHROUD EXISTS (other than the obvious PROOF OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS THE CHRIST)
We Also do not today have the technology to reproduce THE SHROUD OF JESUS

And if someone says it is a painting they have not studied

1) There are no chemical or physical methods known which can account for the totality of the image, nor can any combination of physical, chemical, biological, or medical circumstances explain the image adequately,” THE FACT That they lie so much about this made me ask why and started my journey

2) Why is the Shroud of Turin still a mystery?
"The answer to the question of how the image was produced or what produced the image remains now, as it has in the past, a mystery," The Scientist concluded. "We can conclude for now that the Shroud image is that of a real human form of a scourged, crucified man. It is not the product of an artist...Apr 13, 2020 (the image is not emulsified and only exists on the upper fibers of the linin only light can be used to truly try to duplicate the image )

3) The image on THE SHROUD is in fact the only 2 dimensional object who has 3 dimensional characteristics on the planet

The fact that the VP-8 Distance imaging computer reveals that the shroud has encoded distance imaging information leads us to the following conclusions

A) Distance imaging information was somehow encoded within the image on the Shroud, at its formation and therefore weightless since the front matches the back! .
The image originally came from a three dimensional subject.
This alone virtually guarantees that the Shroud is not a painting of any sort at all.

B)The photograph of the Shroud is the only known two dimensional image on Planet Earth that displays this amazing property.

C) Since the VP8 Image Analyzing Computer technology was not invented until 1976, it seems inconceivable that Leonardo da Vinci, or any other mediaeval artist, would be technically able to create such an image using a technology that would not be discovered for a further 4 centuries! Where would he start?

D)"Wide-Angle X-ray Scattering" (WAXS).the WAXS method. Is a test technique was used on various samples of historical fabrics that date from 3000 BC to 2000 AD with great accuracy. Scientists have compared the Shroud of Turin with those samples and discovered that it best matched a piece of fabric from the siege of Masada, Israel, in 55-74 AD.
THE 1988 carbon dating was proved FLAWED AND CORRUPT! But you have to deep dive to learn that truth

E) And if you do study there is a code at the bend of the knee between the front image of the SHROUD AND The back image for you to find THE MATH
WE HAVE STUDY THE SHROUD AT AN the Atomic and Molecular Levels example the book though written in 2017 ( we know so much more today) Test the Shroud : AT the Atomic and Molecular Levels
Author Mark Antonacci At least asks the questions that should be asked

A Perfect being (GOD) JUSTIFIES the imperfection of Creation (The universe is not GOD Therefore it is not perfect ) by becoming imperfect in Creation

That is to say that The Crucifixion OF THE SECOND PERSON OF THE ALMIGHTY TRINITY WHO BY HIS OWN FREE WILL SUBJECTED HIMSELF to experience Death as a Guiltless Victim before Creation, With THE POWER TO Stop the sacrifice in creation AT ANY Time YET Still chose with That PERFECT LOVE That JUSTIFIES The imperfect reality of Creation Which we can see so clearly if we only look With love To every WORD FROM THE CROSS IN WHICH JESUS Completes THE Sacrifice for Creation

ALL THE GLORY TO GOD IN Conquering for CREATION DEATH!!! BY THAT ETERNAL POWER WHICH WE CAN SEE IN THE RESURRECTION

"Only the fool says there is no GOD " And we would be the fool if we do not seek truth

May GOD THE ALMIGHTY TRINITY Have Mercy on us And Bless us with TRUTH AND LOVE

It's like this...

God created man with free will... but man's will was corrupt and self serving... commiting many atrocious acts. So God destroyed most of man and started over with (still imperfect) people that would try their best to follow God and adhere to his rules/ standards.

Since man was still self serving, (selfish, greedy, lustful, power hungry lying hypocrites) God came down in human form to show us how much he loves us (the ones willing to try and live a pure life).

Knowing that is impossible for us... using the religious system of the day... God sacrificed Himself to show us how much he loves us.

Those who follow God righteously and attempt to listen to Him... will find themselves in the presense of God and Heaven when they die.

However... those who mock God and do harm to others (physically, mentally, spiritually)... will find themselves separated from God. That is the torment called Hell.

Revelation 22:14-15
New American Standard Bible
14 Blessed are those who (A)wash their robes, so that they will have the right to (B)the tree of life, and may (C)enter the city by the (D)gates. 15 (E)Outside are the (F)dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral persons, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying.
 
2 Timothy 3
1
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.
2
People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3
without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,
4
treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God--
5
having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.
6
They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires,
7
always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth.
8
Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth--men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected.
9
But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.
10
You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance,
11
persecutions, sufferings--what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them.
12
In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,
13
while evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
14
But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it,
15
and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
16
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
17
so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
 
Romans 3:9-18

No One Is Righteous

9What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin. 10As it is written:

“There is no one righteous, not even one;

11there is no one who understands;

there is no one who seeks God.

12All have turned away,

they have together become worthless;

there is no one who does good,

not even one.” b

13“Their throats are open graves;

their tongues practice deceit.” c

“The poison of vipers is on their lips.” d

14“Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.” e

15“Their feet are swift to shed blood;

16ruin and misery mark their ways,

17and the way of peace they do not know.” f

18“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
