LordReed:The bible thankfully warned us about scoffers and mockers like you: “Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.” 2 Peter 3:3-13 NIV https://www.bible.com/111/2pe.3.3-13.niv We will keep preaching. Mockers will continue to mock, and people will continue to embrace the glorious and merciful Jesus Christ our God 1 Like |

MrBrownJay1:Well then how do you relate your claims to the eternal life promised to those who follow Jesus (especially in times of trials and tribulations), as it is written in the Bible? Yeah of course, you're definitely going to regard that as another fable, but on the basis of what the Bible says in relation to the tribulations as expressed in these afflictions, how then can it be logical to conclude that God is useless to those who believe in Him just because His people are also victims of the same circumstance? If Christians were not affected, it's still people like you that would rise up and say that God is practising favouritism. You see that you're really not going anywhere but just looking for a way to put God in the box? This world is bigger than what you think your brain can process. God is supreme, He has His own times and seasons to do whatever He wants, and no one can question Him or change His plans, no matter how you lot mock Him and His people. You don't know the BIBLE, you have probably just read some parts of it just to suite your preconceived notions. You obviously don't know or understand anything about what is written there, and you can't blame anyone for that because you chose not to.

Jayy10: There is a lot of rubbish and contradictions written in the bible.... any person with a brain can confirm that. your god pretends/claims to be perfect in any possible way whatsoever but the deluded fool is preaching nothing but hate and cant fix his own finances. so now he need you brainwashed sheep's money every sunday.....really?! your invisible god is an evil being who see nothing wrong with murdering people, raping people, rob/plunder people, enslave and abuse children... yet you brainwashed sheep would have the audacity to call that demon "good"?!?!?! Yeah of course, you're definitely going to regard that as another fable, but on the basis of what the Bible says in relation to the tribulations as expressed in these afflictions, how then can it be logical to conclude that God is useless to those who believe in Him just because His people are also victims of the same circumstance? if any man can get the exact same favor/afflictions in life whether he prays or not then your invisible god (or praying) is indeed USELESS If Christians were not affected, it's still people like you that would rise up and say that God is practising favouritism. You see that you're really not going anywhere but just looking for a way to put God in the box? you are so deluded that you even put words in my mouth that i havent said.... the only way to prove that your deluded prayers are working is ONLY if you can be saved/cured by praying....so yes if your god could practice favoritism then i will believe it exist....if that invisible god of yours can save all xtians and let others die from these plagues/diseases/illnesses then i will believe it. This world is bigger than what you think your brain can process. God is supreme, He has His own times and seasons to do whatever He wants, and no one can question Him or change His plans, no matter how you lot mock Him and His people. yeah and Harry Potter and Superman are also "supreme", you brainswashed deluded sheep. You don't know the BIBLE, you have probably just read some parts of it just to suite your preconceived notions. You obviously don't know or understand anything about what is written there, and you can't blame anyone for that because you chose not to. the evil bible is very easy to understand, its you dummies that are trying to make it seem like its difficult. it dictates that you should kill, stone people, rape people, enslave, plunder, kill and abuse children. yet you have the audacity to call the evil book a book pf peace?!

MrBrownJay1:Hahaha! It's quite obvious you don't even know what to say, but because you don't want to seem like a coward for not replying, you just had to come up with something, unnecessarily shoving adjectives into your statements just to make it look fancy and well-written. This is evident in your frequent use of the word " deluded" . Re-read the gibberish you wrote there and see that I wasn't wrong. Firstly, you talked about pastors who can't settle their finances and milk people dry by using the word of God. What does that have to do with what we're discussing here? Not every Christian subscribes to that. Many read the Bible for themselves, gain understanding and apply them to their living when they can by the power of God, not any of those charlatans you keep talking about. Like I said, God doesn't need your opinion to do what He needs to do, so if you think He's going to please you just to make you believe Him, then you are probably shooting yourself in the leg. If any man gets favoured whether or not they believe in God, that shows that God loves everyone and isn't an advocate of favouritism. I have already told you, God has a promise for those who live and die believing in Him, and living in obedience to His word. That doesn't mean that He's not going to heal anyone. There are a good number of people who have been healed of different ailments, including the most terminal, Christians and non-Christians (who later joined the faith as a result). He doesn't heal some, we may not know why, but in part that proves that the life God wants for His children is the one in eternal glory, reminding us therefore that we are only pilgrims of this world. You clueless skeptics direct your attention toward the old testament of the Bible and claim you've read the entire Bible, and then you base your beliefs on just what you see there Have you ever read the new testament and asked why God seems different in personality? To be frank with you, I do not have clear and convincing answers to God's wrathfulness of the old testament, but I'll leave you with this link. Whether you check it or not is totally up to you, and how you choose to see it makes no difference to what it actually means. https://www.gotquestions.org/Old-Testament-violence.html 1 Like |

Jayy10: the above clearly shows that: A) your invisible god in the sky, who portrays itself as perfect, certainly aint remotely perfect.... as it needs 10% of your life to be "holy to the lord".... B) your deluded brainwashed follow-follow sheep are clearly lost if you give 10% of your income to a bastard in robe who thereafter buys private jets and luxury cars. C) your holy book clearly talks of these false prophets but sadly, you deluded brainwashed sheep are gladly following them Like I said, God doesn't need your opinion to do what He needs to do, so if you think He's going to please you just to make you believe Him, then you are probably shooting yourself in the leg. If any man gets favoured whether or not they believe in God, that shows that God loves everyone and isn't an advocate of favouritism. bwaaaaaaah i guess now you are saying that anyone (whether xtian or not) gets favors from your invisible god, but then what you wrote ALSO means that not all xtians receive favors from your invisible god.... aka you are indirectly stating that whether a person goes to church and/or prays and/or pays tithes, is irrelevant to your invisible god...... thus USELESS as i have stated earlier. I have already told you, God has a promise for those who live and die believing in Him, and living in obedience to His word. stop writing rubbish...you just stated that even non believers get favors from your invisible god AND that not all xtians would receive favors from that useless god of yours.... That doesn't mean that He's not going to heal anyone. There are a good number of people who have been healed of different ailments, including the most terminal, Christians and non-Christians (who later joined the faith as a result). the majority of people are healed by doctors....non believers would use their brains and thank the DOCTORS/MEDICINE WHO SAVE THEM, while the deluded brainwashed follow-follow sheep would believe god saved them. it is a mental disorder that would make you donkeys attribute anything good in this world to god while it is simply doctors/luck/hardwork etc that is the reason. He doesn't heal some, we may not know why, but in part that proves that the life God wants for His children is the one in eternal glory, reminding us therefore that we are only pilgrims of this world. if you were not a deluded brainwashed follow-follow sheep you would understand that there is no invisible god and that all this is down to doctors and luck...but helas. here is a clue: next time you see a crippled/terminally sick xtian, why dont you pray that your god healed them instantly, and see how "good" your evil god is. You clueless skeptics direct your attention toward the old testament of the Bible and claim you've read the entire Bible, and then you base your beliefs on just what you see there Have you ever read the new testament and asked why God seems different in personality? To be frank with you, I do not have clear and convincing answers to God's wrathfulness of the old testament, but I'll leave you with this link. Whether you check it or not is totally up to you, and how you choose to see it makes no difference to what it actually means. old/new testament is all the same pile of evil garbage. the new testament foundations are from the old testament..... as it is clearly stated in the new testament about the law (aka old testament): Luke 17-18 It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law. Matthew 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. Matthew 5:18-19 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. now here below is something very simple to confirm that you people are just deluded brainless follow-follow sheep: your holy book clearly states the following in Matthew 7:7-8 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. ...yet BILLIONS of xtians are praying for food and die hungry, BILLIONS of xtians are praying for a job and die jobless, BILLIONS of xtians are praying for riches and fame, and certainly will die broke and unknown. BILLIONS of xtians are praying for good health and are sadly dying from illnesses/diseases and plagues. the above is a clear confirmation that you holy book is a pile of garbage written by a group of conmen to simply enslave gullible fools who cant even use their own brains. but hey, if you actually believe that this BS works then you wouldnt be in church every sundays asking favors from your invisible god because you would have already gotten them. you wouldnt need the guidance of a defrauding bastard in robe asking for money EVERY SUNDAYS, would you?! |

MrBrownJay1:Of course, it's almost always a futile attempt to engage in religion-based discussions with close minded people like you. It's usually an expected result. Hence, this discussion is going nowhere. However, there seems to be something I have noticed about you and your choice of words and the rhythm of your statements. Lol you don't have to be so harsh with words just to prove your points. That doesn't make you sensible as you would love to have people believe, it only expresses rage and your uncontrollable desire to win an argument. You are not the most intellectual atheist I've seen, you don't even come that close to being one. There are much more sensible atheists out there who don't mind having decent conversations with theists, and are open-minded even in their doubts. From your messages, you have clearly shown that you are not given to understanding, and holding a conversation in a mature way. With such, I can safely conclude that you are either just a God hater or an obnoxious freak who is more concerned about winning an argument to seem smart. You are not even making any sense with your posts, just throwing insults now and then. This doesn't just go with religious discussions, it's a clear feature expressed in most of your comments here on NL. You are pseudo-intellectual, and that makes you look moronic. |
