    Christianity boils down to believing in the end, there's no other way around it

    Who is the being in human being then? Everything I call myself is just a label in the end. Everything is an emanation of God. The One, manifested as a multiplicity of forms. What's Satanic is separating oneself from God. We are all like waves of the ocean. In a way sure we appear limited and...

    Exactly. The Bible is not my authority, I am my own

    I think it's the opposite-taking oneself to be anything other than God is Satan. We are all God, clothed in human flesh. We aren't just humans, we are human -beings-. The being in human being is God's being. Christians humble themselves to the point that they think they are better just...

    I'm not hanging onto it, it's just a more accurate representation in my opinion

    If I do kneel, it's because of my own authority to do so

    Christianity boils down to believing in the end, there's no other way around it

    Why do we have to be lower or higher than someone or something? Why can't we all just be one at the very end of the day. Only the ego lives through comparison

    Or come back to me when you're ready to stand on your own two feet . Whichever comes first haha

    Christianity boils down to believing in the end, there's no other way around it

    And I will be just as honest with you. The very idea of salvation is something that -you- choose to believe in. Following Jesus as your savior is -your- decision as much as you try to say it has nothing to do with you. You do know there's many ex pastors and ex devout Christians. They were once...

    Christianity boils down to believing in the end, there's no other way around it

    There's many examples of people claiming God told them to do something which was not only detrimental to themselves, but also to others around them. I mean, I get what you're saying...but let's also be practical. I will argue that God also gave you a brain for most situations

    Christianity boils down to believing in the end, there's no other way around it

    Here's the thing though. The whole idea of a savior is really an illusion because you have to -allow- yourself to be saved. So you are in essence, saving yourself even though you think someone else outside such as Jesus is because it starts with -you-. But yes, I am against the whole sinner...

    That's the same God who told Abraham to kill his son Isaac as a mere test for his trust. People will say no he didn't, he told Abraham to sacrifice his son. However, that's really just a euphemism to kill.

    It's easy to act sanctimonious or holier-than-thou towards someone who doesn't agree with you as much biblically. You also mentioned that we are all born condemned. There's no way that holding a belief like that sub consciously won't cause you to live life as if you're constantly being...

    Christianity boils down to believing in the end, there's no other way around it

    Many Christians know how messed up it is what Paul said so they've come up with ways to get around it such as proclaiming that only the act itself is a sin, but not being gay since God created those who are gay, as gay. There are however Christians who believe that still being gay is a sin. The...

    Christianity boils down to believing in the end, there's no other way around it

    Right, so then all beliefs must be taken with a grain of salt and one should always remain skeptical. Asking questions is highly discouraged in religion. I wonder why. For example, let me ask you about the verse Romans 13. "Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities,(A) for there is...

    Hi! Yes, some things that are known started off with being beliefs. This also applies to conspiracy theories coming true such as MK Ultra. However, it's very hit and miss. A broken clock is right twice a day

    Christianity boils down to believing in the end, there's no other way around it

    I don't like believing because it automatically comes with doubt. The moment you believe something, the possibility of doubting that belief is automatically created. You don't have to believe that the sky is blue for example. Many times we choose to believe in something as a way to cover up our...

    Do you have to believe that sugar is sweet? And let's suppose alright, the Gospel of God came from God himself. Well, so has everything else from Lucifer to Jesus then. That means that even these words are also coming from God himself. Everything is an emanation of God. And you might say that...

    Who are you to tell me what my peace is and isn't? Is it just that you can't fathom that one can have peace without your Christian God? A bit narcissistic in my opinion. I've seen athiests with more peace than Christians. My brother in law for example is too afraid to do any type of work on...
