Let's Discuss Some Of The Irregularities Of The Christian Faith by macof(m): 2:46pm On Mar 28, 2015 |
I remember some of the things that made me reject the doctrines of christianity and how "acclaimed" educated pastors peached this so calmly and confidently as if it were a reflection of the natural world around us 1. God is omniscient, he knows all before it even happens..yet created an Adam with the knowledge of his future sin and subsequent calamity for humanity Either this God is really not omniscient or he just likes causing trouble and blame it on his creations 2. God created Satan, how possible is it that an all power overlord of the universe finds a mere musical cherub to be threat to his supremacy? Is God not strong enough to deal with satan, whom he created? Is this God losing his power? Or he just likes playing the victim and using satan to catch some fun and create some hero-villain story out of it all to remain relevant to his believers? 3. How much have we studied the Bible to verify the things we hear from our pastors and the public belief of Christians since the first council of Nicaea It's one thing that humans wrote the Bible, it's another thing that humans interpret it Also consider the factor of error in translations as the Bible wasn't first written in English...Infact English language didn't exist then 4. We learn that Jesus payed the ultimate price for all mankind by dying for our sins. Can we really say he payed anything worth the price? This man died for only 3 days That's not a full payment if you ask me Because back in the old testament, God instructed household Animals to be killed to serve as payment for sin...these animals never resurrected and it signified "full payment" 5. The issue of sin in christianity is one that attracts spiritual punishment, even though we commit this sin physically....why should Jesus pay a physical price? Why didn't he die spiritually so we can be completely saved spiritually? 6. Why did God choose a particular people? He created us all didn't he? Why was he always particular about the Jews? I am Yoruba, I didn't read anything about my ancestral fathers in the Bible, just Jews and those they came in contact with. The Bible rules are typical Jewish traditions and christianity is reformed version of that by Europeans Why didn't God pick all people? Why only one people? Isn't this partiality...of course it is Same way God openly rejected Esau before his birth and favoured a lying Jacob 7. Why are there so much violence and diseases? Why does a peaceful, loving God allow such? Is he incapable of addressing the issue? then he is the complete representation of clueless and incompetent Is he capable but unwilling? Then he is evil and lies that he is loving and kind 8. If death was caused by Adam's sin and the same Adam at his creation was tasked with the responsibility to reproduce and multiply...all these millennias the population would have been about 1 trillion and over the earth is such a limited space, imagine the way we fight for land in today's world, how would it have been if Adam never sinned and humans never had to die The little space you get in a crowed Aswani market would be the largest you would find 9. How would judgement day be? The trillions of people who have lived and died all being judged in God's court? Just imagine the scene and how long it would take before it gets to us in the 21st century Would we see our Great x5 grand fathers and enjoy a conversation? What about those going to hell because they didn't know Jesus or believe the Christians? Imagine currently we have billions of non Christians, some millions of Christians would also fail to make heaven plus the dead who didn't get the goodnews of Christ when alive...surely close to a trillion would make their way to hell and heaven would be so empty with less than a billion people What kind of God allows this? 10. why does the Bible contradict itself so much? A book of unarguable knowledge and truth shouldn't have contradictions but absolute conformity this addresses only the Christian faith and no other 10 Likes 1 Share |

Seeming irregularities in the Bible do not discourage believers, because of their God given faith. Some read the Bible looking for Truth, those who seek the Truth find it unto Salvation. Rom_1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 2Ti_3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 2 Likes |

1 Corinthians 1:27-29 NIV But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. Happy Good Friday. 1 Like |

Yes they just started quoting the same bible ^^^^^^ it is clear that the bible was written by ancient men that had not the slightest incline of what the universe is. How can the earth be created on the first day and it's parent star which it orbits and whose gravity holds the earth be created on the 4th day how can day and night be created four days before the sun that causes day and night How can vegetation appear before sun An omniscient being was surprised Adam and eve ate the apple An omnipotent being couldn't just snap his hands and the angel turn devil he created will just stop existing, but ooh he is struggling for power with his creation and they are playing bet for souls (the absurdity got dumber) a merciful god cannot forgive you unless some kind of blood sacrifice was used, he graduated from asking for animals to demanding the blood of his son... #Damn!!! A book with jewish mythological history in almost half of its pages, and the remaining part of the book is still about the jews.. wooow thats the word of god and the book was dumb enough to think stars can fall down to earth.. A universal god that sounds more jewish than others. even the gates of heaven have 12gates signifying twelve tribes of isreal.. clearly a jewish deity. and the list can go on forever.. it only take plain delusion to believe any of that crap.. Christians never wondered how the worship of the jewish deity started. Isreal being a canaanite civilization slowly reworked the canaanite religion and supreme god El into a strict monotheistic religion on their own. The most glaring part is that the god got modified by the christians that is very evident enough its not the same god with that of the jews but the same concept. 10 Likes 3 Shares |

You know, if God created us without a will and the power of choice, we would be Zombies and will be so boring to have people do everything God wants all the time. So he allowed us to choose between good and evil, and life and dead. They have their consequencies and rewards. But u won't accept that would you? U just want to live ur life as u like it, without checks and balances. There r conquencies for all our actions dear. The world is the way it is because of U and the likes of Johnydon. God knows abt u. But remember, ur insults against Jehovah won't go unnoticed. If u don't pay ur children will. |
