Christianity And God by smallrincowis16(m): 3:40pm On Dec 08, 2014
the bible
consist of
the word of man,word of God,word of
stone,animals,angels,satan etc..
for example:
Judges 9:13 ASV
American Standard Version
And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my
new wine,
which cheereth God and man, and go to wave to
and fro over
the trees?
IS THIS GOD'S WORD?
Furthermore,we read more words that are not of
God in the
bible,
Matthew 15:27 "7"8
Parallel Verses
New International Version
"Yes it is, Lord," she said. "Even the dogs eat the
crumbs that
fall from their master's table."
Who was talking,God,the woman or an historian?
IS THIS GOD'S WORD?apparently NO!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>
After analyzing how I came to believe that the
Bible is not the word of God,I will like to talk about
another christian theory which is;
JESUS DIED FOR THE SINS OF HUMANITY,HOW
TRUE
When an innocent man is given punishment for
something he didn't do, he must be compensated
for this punishment. This is fair and
understandable. An example in today's time
would be Maher Arar, a Syrian-Canadian who is a
Muslim that got accused of being a terrorist by US
officials.
This man as innocent as he was of this
accusation, was
deported to Syria and placed in prison for a year,
where he
was put through torture. Later, he was released
and recently
he was granted $10.5 Million Canadian as
compensation for
his time and suffering.
This man was innocent and indeed
was deserving of compensation.
The Christian argument goes that God came as
Jesus; he was
sinless and died on the cross, and was
compensated by being
brought back to life and in addition getting all of
mankind's
sins wiped away. Technically, Jesus shouldn't
have been
compensated for anything.
In this article,I am going to ignore the Islamic
position of
Jesus and God and i am going to discuss who died
for
whose sins, according to the Christian scriptures.
This article
is meant to bash Christians and their faith, but to
show that the idea of Jesus dying for our sins is
baseless.
God, in the Hebrew (Old) Testament has had many
situations
where he commands atrocities and then repents
for the
actions committed.
In II Samuel 24:15-16 after 70,000 people are
killed, and God
puts an end to the command and repents for this
great
disaster.
II Samuel 24:15-16
15 So the LORD sent a plague on Israel from that
morning
until the end of the time designated, and seventy
thousand of
the people from Dan to Beersheba died.
16 When the angel stretched out his hand to
destroy
Jerusalem;the LORD was grieved because of the
calamity and
said to the angel who was afflicting the
people,Enough!
Withdraw your hand. The angel of the LORD was
then at the
threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
So as we read here after the 70,000 people were
killed, the
God of the bible repents and puts an end to the
calamity.
Who knew that God has regrets?
So basically in a Questions and Answers
conversation between
a non-christian and a Christian, it seems you will
find
something along these lines happening""
Non-christian: Why don't all the dead people get
compensated by being brought back to life?
Christian: Well
these people were corrupted individuals who died
and it was
necessary at the time that they be killed.
Non-christian: So, you believe that all the people
who died
were corrupted? No one was an innocent bystander
by any
chance?
Christian: Well, there might have been a couple
here and
there.
Non-christian: So how do they get compensated?
Christian:That'ss up to God.
Non-christian: Fair enough. So what about all the
other
corrupted individuals who didn't die, who probably
survived
and weren't put to death?
Christian: Jesus died for their sins!
I am honestly less than pleased with the
answer""Jesus died
for our sins.""
With the above made clear, it causes us to really
want to
know whose sins did Jesus (as God) really die for?
------------
In Zephaniah 2:12-15 we find God stating;
12 You too, O Cushites,will be slain by my sword.
13 He will stretch out his hand against the north
and destroy
Assyria,leaving Nineveh utterly desolate and dry as
the desert.
14 Flocks and herds will lie down there, creatures
of every
kind. The desert owl and the screech owl will roost
on her
columns. Their calls will echo through the
windows, rubble will
be in the doorways, the beams of cedar will be
exposed.
15 This is the carefree city that lived in safety. She
said to
herself, I am, and there is none besides me. What a
ruin she
has become, a lair for wild beasts! All who pass by
her scoff
and shake their fists.
-----------
This shows a lot of murderous anger and hatred
coming from
the end of God (assuming he's Jesus).
Now, i go a little further into this article and point
out once
again, that Jesus is God according to the
Christians and that
many atrocities have been performed by the
command of God.
Be reminded also that God repents for these
atrocities.
However, as nice as this ""repentance"" may
appear that
comes from God""s end each time an atrocity
occurs, it does
not really bring back these people from the dead or
grant
them any form of compensation.
The 6thcommandment of""Do Not Murder""is clear
and its
consequences are elaborated in Genesis
9:6;""Whoever sheds
the blood of man, by man shall his blood be
shed""where the
sin for murder is compensated through executing
the
murderer.This is the implication of capital
punishment, where
a man who kills must be killed. Repentance on its
own is not
prescribed as a way of compensating for the sin of
murder. In
other words, if I were to murder someone and I
were to be
judged by the laws of the bible, me apologizing to
the family
of the victim and/or repenting, wouldn't cut it; I
would need
to undergo execution. In the case of God, where he
supposedly comes as man, it would be fair to say
that in the
end Jesus didn't die for the sins of mankind, but
rather for
his own personal commands of murder in the Old
Testament.
So we conclude that justice was served, by the
death of Jesus
on the cross. Therefore, it can't be possible that
The Son
died for the sins of man but if anything, he died for
the sins of
The Father.
Christians put their faith in Jesus Christ, because
they believe
he died for their sins, where in this article I have
just come to
point out that if anyone died for anyone's sins, its
more or
less for his own.
The contradiction behind the belief of Jesus
dying for mankind's sins is clear and should no
longer be
used as a segue into the Christian doctrine.
Christians need to
see the fault behind the reasoning of their faith in
Christ, and
should not worship Jesus as a middleman between
themselves and God. Rather, we should all focus
on God alone
and to only worship him, to accept that Jesus was
only a
mere man created by God.
-----------------
I will buttress my points by making use of two
biblical verses to
back up my claim that jesus died not for the sins
of humanity.
1.Ezekiel 18:20
New International Version (NIV)
20 The one who sins is the one who will die.The
child will not
share the guilt of the parent, nor will the parent
share the guilt
of the child. The righteousness of the righteous will
be
credited to them, and the wickedness of the wicked
will be
charged against them.
2.Deuteronomy 24:16 "7"8
Parallel Verses
New International Version
Parents are not to be put to death for their
children, nor
children put to death for their parents; each will die
for their
own sin.
------------------
These two verses further proves that no man shall
die for the
sins of another but every man shall die for his sins
hence,JESUS DIED NOT FOR THE SINS OF
MANKIND
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
After analyzing why I stopped to disbelieve the lies
that Jesus died for the sins of mankind,I will
quickly write about;
WHO DESERVES OUR WORSHIP
Unarguably,no biblical prophet from Adam to Jesus
worshipped any other god except their creator.the
whole prophets came with just one message,ONE
GOD!

God!.taking Jesus to be God, saviour worthy of
worship is totally unbiblical,below are bible verses

do not want you to become sharers in
demons.

Those who fashion a graven image are all
of them futile, and their precious things are
of no profit; even their own witnesses fail
to see or know, so that they will be put to
shame. Who has fashioned a god or cast
an idol to no profit? Behold, all his
companions will be put to shame, for the
craftsmen themselves are mere men. Let
them all assemble themselves, let them
stand up, let them tremble, let them
together be put to shame.
Acts 14:15
and saying, "Men, why are you doing these
things? We are also men of the same
nature as you, and preach the gospel to
you that you should turn from these vain
things to a living God, WHO MADE THE
HEAVEN AND THE EARTH AND THE SEA
AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM.

However at that time, when you did not
know God, you were slaves to those which
by nature are no gods.////////
