With this in mind and when compared to the general population you will come to realise that only few people have accepted jesus and even those who claim to have accepted jesus don't live according to his will. So you know they are about 2,500 religions worldwide christianity is only one among them. With these you will have realised that billions of people don't practice christianity and with these about billions of people will go to hell. Puting this into consideration the idea of jesus dying to save the world becomes a massive failure! undecided

Why because majority of the world population whom jesus died for are have already been condemed to hell fire.

Here, you are reporting as if you are in possession the True report of The Number of souls who have taken up The Sacrifice of Christ, which in Truth you can not know neither are you in possession of The True Records of those who have Accepted Christ!!

But I Recognise that your True observation is that many who claimed to have followed Christ or did in Truth follow Him, have fallen out of the Way, thereby nullifying their former Acceptance of His Sacrifice!

This is Very True, for I see it too!

Genesis 1 and 2 are most likely mythical stories where a serpent speaks, but it was taken as a true account of creation by the Israelites. The story has profound meaning and tells us that from one man came all the families of the earth, but this man was thrown out of the kingdom of God after knowing good and evil ( losing his innocence). So what the story is saying in essence is that the first man and woman ( our ancestors) in their quest for wisdom like a serpent they lost God's presence, but even now that they have this knowledge of good and evil ( like the gods), they can still reach out for the tree of life to claim their previous state nonetheless.
The story is a myth that gives a summary of the truth of how our Ancestors lost it with God.
Re: PARADOX: Why Did God Sacrifice His Son Instead Of Just Killing Satan ? by DappaD: 5:27pm On Apr 02, 2021
Okay let’s apply logic on the Bible and see where it takes us.

XXXXTENTACION:
Using simple logic
premise: if someone commits a crime or sin he/she gets punished for that sin.

Yes that’s sound logic. In fact it’s in line with Romans 6:23 which says that the punishment for sins is death so since we are conceived in sin, we pay the ultimate price with our lives. Ezekiel 18:4


argument: if satan commits a sin then logically satan is supposed to be punished for his sin but how come Jesus gets to be sacrificed

A once faithful angel rebelled against God’s authority which made to lose a favoured relationship with God(2Peter 2:4) and in the process, he made himself Devil and Satan. John 8:44
As it is, Satan is currently on deathrow because of his defiance(Genesis 3:15) and Jesus outlined the final outcome of Satan and his horde of demons. Matthew 25:46 compare with John 12:31 and Revelation 20:10
So where did you get the idea that Satan was off the hook? Because of the numerous claims misinformed religionists make?
.
.

argument 2: if human beings commit evil logically humans are supposed to pay for the evil but how come Jesus gets to be the one to be sacrificed While humans who did the evil go to heaven undecided

Here is where wisdom comes in. The first man Adam committed the most gross sin ever by eating of the tree of knowledge of good and evil because by doing so, he showed that he had no regard for God’s rulership i.e. he chose to be independent from God and this brought disastrous consequences on both him(Genesis 3:19) and all his offspring, which includes you and me today. Romans 5:12

So in order for perfect justice to be attained in our case, since the God of the Bible loves justice(Psalm 37:28)—that is—given that it was not our fault we were conceived in sin and error(Psalm 51:5), a life equivalent to the perfect life Adam had, needed to be given as a replacement for we to be released from sin and death.
Romans 5:19, 1Corinthians 15:20-22

This is what the Bible calls a “ransom” i.e. a price paid to release someone from under bondage which Jesus paid for with his own perfect life(please see Matthew 20:28) because as it were, we were sold into slavery to sin and death due to Adamic sin—in that no matter what we do—we cannot release ourselves from the pangs and threat of death(despite the trials of alchemists in the Dark Ages). Psalm 49:7-9

So that’s the perfect logic right there. The summary being that Adam is the first father of the human race(Acts 17:26) who brought suffering, sin and death on all humans(Romans 5:12) and that Jesus is the second father(Isaiah 9:6, 1Corinthians 15:45) who is responsible for releasing us from the conditions of sin, sickness, suffering and death, which Adam put us under. John 3:16, Romans 8:21, Hebrews 5:9

Punishment, and even death, is doled out for sin. So, why do you accuse him of sin when you are not even sure that what you claim he does amounts to sin, at least by any definition that you know that God has given? undecided

You quite understand that it is a myth. Thats the first step towards enlightenment.

Adam and eve story is a recast of an earlier Babylonian epic about Adapa. İt tells of how man lost the chance to dwell on earth indefinately or how man lost imortality..in the original tale it tells of two serpent one for the good tree(Ninghiszida) and one for the evil tree(Dimuzi).

(Google is your friend).

The devil(Nanna) or Satan(Enlil) where never in Eden..


İ guess why God created humans was because he had already created a spiritual perfect realm. Where they do as they are told. So probably wanted a realm where choices can be made.

Genesis chapter 1 & 2 are nothing but mythical stories? How come Jesus quoted from one of those so-called “mythical” chapters? Does that mean also, that Jesus is a “mythical” character and that you are no longer a Christian like you claim?
Your comments are so absurd and out of the ordinary I must say because if Paul(whom the Jesus you claim to follow appointed at Acts 9:15) could say that “ALL SCRIPTURE(Genesis to Revelation) are inspired of God” who are you to say otherwise? 2Timothy 3:16

Acceptance of The Lord Requires Further Acceptance and Compliance with The Law.

And this where many fall, they want to escape His Anger but do not want to stop Offending which is what The Law is seeking to do as seen in the Statement

As a Victim of kidnap, if they took you before a Court that the 30 persons who Robbed you, Beat you and kept you in inhumane conditions,, damaged your vehicle have been caught and are in court, would you spare because they are many?

Even if they are 100 Billion Souls EVERY SINGLE OFFENDER MUST PAY FOR THEIR CRIMES!

Please tell this to GeneralDae because apparently, he happens to be a follower of that same “mythical” character so try and form a bond with him and convince him that his Jesus is just a mere “mythical” character. Please do carry on with it. I want to be amused.


P.S. It does not matter if Jesus is a fictional character or not. After all, you claimed the events penned down in the Torah were also not real that means Moses is a fictional character, isn’t it? And the fact that you’re also expecting a real Messiah from made-up stories is quite absurd.
So why feel strongly only about Jesus’ case, when Moses is also a mere fictional character like your assertions have made clear? Careful, so you do not suffocate yourself with this information.

Jesus did not know everything as a human being (else he would not be a human). Also even Jesus admitted he doesn't know when the end would come. He was a complete human vessel like you and I inhabited by God in full (Like no other before him). God gave jesus the spirit without measure and he can be rightfully called the son of God.

Jesus also used the myths and stories of his culture and his people in their context especially when these mythologies had the teachings of God hidden in them for the wise in spirit who hear from the father. All that the people knew then as accounts of creation were the accounts in Genesis, and Jesus as a man who grew up studying the Torah was also limited to the culture of his people, that isn't a problem at all.

Mythologies are not necessarily false, they are used to pierce the soul of the wise. Jesus loved stories and myths so much and I love them too because they allow free thinking and deep revelations.

Paul saying all scriptures are inspired by God or God breathed does not mean there are no myths in scriptures. Besides, God's inspiration may take many forms and may not necessarily mean God's dictation. Even Paul at a point gave his personal advice in his letters and in that 1 Timothy, Paul (or whoever wrote it in paul's name) was referring specifically to the scriptures in the Torah, and at that time the new testament wasn't even compiled and accepted as scripture.

It seems you have a different definition of what “myths” really are because since you are now caught in your own web which you made by yourself, you’d do anything to get out of it including misdefining what “myths” are.

If the Biblical accounts are all myths like you claim, then they can never be fundamental truths and Jesus was just quoting from falsehoods? Compare Genesis 2:24 with Matthew 19:5

When Jesus said that “[God’s] word is truth” at John 17:17, was he implying that some part of the Scriptures were false and other parts were true? Or was his statement completely in harmony with Paul’s words at 2Timothy 3:16?


Please enough, you have already rendered everything Jesus said as mere stories/fables with no meaning so please focus on sonmvayina for now let me observe what comes out your discussion with him since he has said that your Jesus is a “mythical” character.

I never claimed the biblical accounts are all myths but there are some myths in them. All ancient cultures had myths in their historical telling but the bulk of these stories were meant to be historical accounts to the people.

Apart from the Author of Timothy claiming all scriptures are inspired, we do not find this anywhere else. The Author is simply teaching Timothy that scriptures are useful for our learning, that's all. The bible is a collection or volume of various scriptures and even the Torah as a whole does not claim it is the complete word of God. Scribes in the time of Ezrah also wrote history to the people like Chronicles and they edited the so called five books of Moses, you cannot claim God dictated everything. The inspired word of God is in the bible and we must rightly divide the bible to find them and allow them minister to us but it is not the entire bible.

Jesus saying your word is truth doesn't mean the entire bible is true, the word of God is not limited to the Bible.

Jesus is not a mythical character but the true son of God who walked the earth.

Ok...



God doesn't entirely forsake anyone... He loves all his creation and only punishes those that goes against his will....

Satan is his beloved child as well...

Satan is also a tool to know other of his children that truly believes and worship him without doubts.

If you ask me about the people dieing..I'll say that, their spiritual bodies or souls will always rise to his kingdom. Which is why science can never give a clearer meaning to the existence of the afterlife....


God can not kill Satan, Satan is under punishment and not manipulating anyone... It is the evil in men. Also know that, there are other evil forces that is also powerful as satan. and satan is in chains and powerless.
Hmmm!!! Let's dissect your theory.

1. The Bible says Yah did not love all his creations, he hated Esau before Esau was even born because Esau inherited Adam's hatred for Yah.

2. Yah can kill whomever he chooses and it has been proven biblically.

3. Satan is a master manipulator.

4. What are the evil forces that are as powerful as the Prince of Darkness, and don't tell me the king of darkness? grin

5. There have been those who truly loved Yah but we're tempted by Satan, like we all know he is a master manipulator and man is just a weak vessel of flesh.

God condemned all unbelievers to perish in their grave(cease to exist) since the time of Adam. Man was never created as an eternal being and since Adam did not eat from the Tree of Life, he and his descendants who rejected God perished in their graves(returned to dust).
