THE BOOK OF REVELATION
SO, A GUY CALLED JOHN OF PATMOS. ONE OF JESUS' FORMER DISCIPLES {IMPLIED} HAD A VISION AS HE WAS EXILED.
HE SAW A DUDE IN WHITE AND GOLD. HOLDING 7 STARS(!?), 7 LAMPSTANDS AND WIELDING A SWORD IN HIS MOUTH RORONOA ZORO STYLE. SO THE DUDE JOHN ANNOUNCES SOME STUFF TO THE ANGELS OF SEVEN CHURCHES AND BREAKS THE FOURTH WALL TO TALK TO MODERN CHRISTIANS. REV 3:16. HE IS TAKEN TO HEAVEN AND MEETS SOME FREAKY EYED CREATURES WHO ALONG WITH 24 ELDERS BOW DOWN TO GOD SPONTANEOUSLY WHILE GROVELLING AT HIS FEET.
GOD SITS ON A THRONE(HEAVEN IS A MONARCHY?). SOME THINGS HAPPEN. A STRONG ANGEL (THERE ARE WEAK ANGELS?) BRINGS UP A SCROLL NO ONE CAN OPEN(BUIT I REALLY REALLY WANTED TO READ THAT BOOK ) THEN THE LION OF JUDAH (ACTUALLY A MUTANT SEVEN EYED SEVEN HORNED LAMB CREATURE) BREAKS THE SEALS TO A BOOK WHICH HOLDS(HUH?)4 HORSEMEN AN EARTHQUAKE AN ECLIPSE, THEN GOD SEALS UP SOME 144000 JEWS(CUZ ANGELS CANT TELL BETWEEN SAVED AND UNBELIEVERS) ANY WAY ANGELS WITH SEVEN(OBSESSED MUCH) PREPARE TO SOUND NOTES OF DOOM ON EARTH PT 1 CONC. PT 2 CMING UP

So much for an 'unchanging' God.
From the Old Testament to the New Testament.
What next?

SO. THE FIRST TRUMPET SUMMONS HAIL FIRE AND BLOOD, THE SECOND A MOUNTAIN. THE THIRD MAKES A STA FALL FROM HEAVEN TO INCINERATE THE EARTH, I MEAN TO MAKE THE WATERS BITTER. THE FOURTH MAKES IT COLDER BY A THIRD WHILE THE FIFTH SENDS ANOTHER STAR (EARTH'S GRAVITY IS A B.I.T.C.H) WHICH FORMS A BOTTOMLESS PIT AND LOCUST LION SNAKE HUMAN ABOMINATIONS COME OUT. THEY ARE TOLD 'GO WILD BUT STAY OFF MY LAWN'. A SIXTH ANGEL SUMMONS FOUR ANGELS WHO WANT TO KILL A (GUESS) , THIRD, OF HUMANITY. THE ANGELS HAVE SOLDIERS WHICH WERE KILLED NY A NUKE, OH I MEAN COULD BELCH FIRE.

JOHN IS GIVEN A SWEET SCROLL TO EAT. IT TAKES GOOD BUT MAN THAT DIARRHEA IS ONE MEAN S.O.B. SO NEXT WE HAVE, JOHN MEASURING THINGS RANDOMLY. TWO WITNESSES WHO BREATH FIRE, AKATSUKI MEMBERS A NINE TAILED DE, WRONG FANTASY SERIES. NEXT ON GODS FORECAST IS,

I'm gonna only do revelations and the gospels unless i get more comments. this is tedious work.

a w0oman in a sundress with crown stars and moon shoes is chased by a seven headed dragon (do i have to make fun of this. it does it by itself) the dragon chases the woman for a bit is flung out of heaven then proves that the earth is extremely durable by flinging half the stars of space into earth.then a leopard with sven heads and crowns comes out and convinces people to worship it (must have been some effort)

For your encouragement so you don't give up from the tedium let me just add that in face heaven is a democracy, like USA - God's own country. Only that we would all have been enlightened by then and so we will always vote in Jesus for president.

Why is one of these considered real and the other mythology?

Who will he be running against if he is the perfect candidate that will get 100% of the vote everytime? You know where your kind of "heavenly" elections happen? NORTH KOREA, where the Dear Leader always received all the vote and now 100% of the vote will now go to Kim Jung Un, THE SUPREME LEADER. lmfao, heaven sounds like a communist state feigning democracy.


About US and you guys always saying it was founded on so called "Christian Principles",it's about time it stopped. lets look at what one the founding fathers signed in 1796.

Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

Also, the constitution doesn't say anything about the christian god or his illegitimate son.

Heaven. A democracy. Lol.
@above poster And thx fr the pic, it's just christian double think.

Actually, I shouldn't compare greek mythology to this travesty from revelations. At least greek mythology sounded "believable". A flying horse, a sea monster and a damsel in distress. The revelations one is about a freaking seven headed dragon chasing a woman in a sun(literally?) dress and stars falling INTO THE EARTH> The sh#t is so ignorant, I wonder how anyone can take it serious.

ALRIGHT. BACK TO OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED ALL CAPS BIBLE STUDY.
REV 13:11-18 JOHN IS HIGH ON LSD AND SEES ANOTHER BEAST. THIS ONE HAS THE VOIE OF A DRAGON WITH AM HORNS (HOW ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO RULE THE WORLD, MY FIRST REACTION TO SUCH MONSTERS WOULD BE KILL THEM TO DEATH, OVER AND OVER AND , ) THE BEAST USES JUJU AND DECEIVES THE EASILY DECEIVED HUMANS, HE COULD BRING STATUES TO LIFE AND FORCED EVERONE TO HAVE A MARK ON THEIR FOREHEAD(AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSEHOLD. IN UZI WE TRUST)

Then, the mutant seven eyed seven horned lamb makes another appearance with the 144,000 who have his name written on their foreheads, and his father wo is also him. All were virgins (figures). They sang a new song which sounded like lightning and rushing water (Mozart eat that). They follow the lamb and were bought as offerings for him (Sounds nice)
Next an angel flew around earth saying and i paraphrase 'BOW DOWN TO THE GREAT AND MIGHTY GOD KNEEL. HE IS YOUR LORD SO BOW. Peace.'
A second followed and said 'DOOM AND DOOM AND MORE DOOM ON BABYLON'

Do you think that the writer of revelations was making literal descriptions or symbolic?

so some people think that the story of Perseus and Andromeda actually happened as literally told. Fascinating!!

Pastor AIO:

He wasn't making ANY SENSE whatsoever talkless of trying to make "literal or symbolic" descriptions. The old christian switcheroo of, "it's not literal, its a metaphor" when confronted with the patent absurdity of their beliefs.

Pastor AIO:

lol, your sarcasm is fascinating indeed. No one thinks the greek legends are real but there is a mulitude of ignorant christians who think the entire bible should be taken literally. Then there are two faced people like you who speak out of both sides of your mouth and call some things (that sound just as ridiculous to you as it sounds to unbelievers) "symbolic" and the one you can accept, "literal".

Lets take a big a$$ leap of faith and say the seven headed dragon is actually symbolic. WHAT DOES THE SHENANIGAN REPRESENT?

Yo, Pastor. There's a third option, he is talking out of his a.s.s
Comments and constructive criticism encouraged from Christians, muslims, mustians budhists, atheists e.t.c.
A THIRD ANDEL FOLLOWS THEM AND SAYS ' IF ANY TAKES THE MARK OF THE BEAST HE SHALL BE ROASTED BY US. SO ENDURE PEACE NIGGERS'
THERE IS A HARVEST( A NO PRIZE TO WHOEVER CAN INTERPRETE THIS SYMBOLICALLY WITHOUT SOUNDING LIKE A TAPE RECORDER .E NO COPY PASTA)
SEVEN ANGELS STAND WITH BOWLS OF GOD'S WRATH(SOME ONE NEEDS TO SEE AN OMNIPOTENT PSYCHIATRIST:) THE ANGELS GROVEL (AS USUAL) AND POUR OUT BOWLS OF ANGER ON EARTH.
THEN GOD POURS OUT THE FINAL PLAGUE TO SHOW HIS GODLY POWER, OH YEAH BIG G SHOW THAT ANTICHRIST WHAT YOU'VE GOT, AND F'S UP. WOW AN EARTHQUAKE, AND LIGHTNING, HOW IMPRESSIVE. LET ME RECIPROCRATE BY SHOWING YOU MY DEADLY EYE ROLL.
THEN GOD ARRESTS SATAN, THROWS HIM IN A PRISON AND FREES HIM ATER 1000YRS (WHY?). THEN HE COMES OUT AND PEOPLE FLOCK TO HIM (SHOWS HOW GOOD JESUS' REIGN WAS)
GOD THROWS HIM IN HELL INSTEAD OF DESTROYING HIM.
THEN ALL CHRISTIANS GO TO HEAVEN AND SLAVE HAPPILY EVER ATER. AMEN.

The Gospels:
MATTHEW
BLAH BLAH AH GENEAOLOGY
A WOMAN WAS RAPED BY HE HOLY SPIRIT WHILE SHE WAS ENGAGED. HER HUSBAND JOE PLANNED TO DIVORCE HER QUIETLY WHEN AN ANGEL POPS UP IN HIS DREAM.AND PULLS OUT A PROPHECY SAYING 'A YOUNG WOMAN WILL GET PREGNANT AND DELIVER'(INSIGHTFUL) SO JACOBTAKES ADVICE FROM DREAMS, HE MUST HAVE FAILED AS A BANKER, THE CHILD SHOULD BE CALLED IMMANUL, HE IS NAMED JSUS.

I find that 'sense' is often conferred by the reader unto the text or event being regarded. Everything can make sense in some sense or the other. Ultimately it is the senseless mind that looks around and cannot see sense in things.

I take it that in your understanding there is no literature that has ever been written symbolically. Is it the bible's fault that there are people that take the whole book as literal events?

I wonder why you do not try to understand what my criteria is for considering some parts of the bible literal and other parts symbolic. Just because I read some things both ways seems to be a cardinal sin to you, but you have not criticised my methods. What is wrong with understanding something both ways?

The 7 headed dragon is the ring worm that is afflicting you in your yansh. Due to your poor standards of hygiene, your battyhole is actually heaven for the 7 headed dragon. They say Jiga is the master of the battlefield - jiga ni baba l'ogun. If you win the battle against crawcraw then your have a chance to cast the 7 headed dragon out of heaven.

Yo Pastor, that was sooo funny. Remind me to laugh. Roll eyes

Pastor AIO:

Of course, it's my fault I can't make sense of seven headed dragons and a heavenly democracy with one candidate. So next time you castigate Muslims for their "senseless" beliefs, remember that "sense" is relative.

Pastor AIO:

My favorite book is  Animal Farm, you should check it out if you haven't. Do I qualify as someone who understands symbolic literature now?

I love it when that veneer of piety comes off and you people start slinging nonsensical insults.

I wouldn't use the word 'fault' myself, but that was the general idea, yeah.  And as for the bolded part, we couldn't agree any better.  'sense' is relative.

Martian:

Please give another considered look at what I wrote.  I asked if you felt there was any such thing as symbolism in literature, and why you felt the bible cannot have symbolic texts in it. 
As to whether or not you can understand symbolic literature I really don't care.  That was not my question.  it seems that for you all metaphors are senseless but some metaphors are more senseless than others. 

Martian:

Are you asking for criteria because you want to know or because you've come to realise that attacking the bible anyhow without structure or basic criteria to guide your evaluations makes you look 'senseless' to any intelligent person reading. 

I don't think you know me otherwise you wouldn't be talking of veneer of piety.  Yes I might seem pious once in a dozen blue moons, but generally I tend to fall far short of any standards of piety.  My contributions on NL will attest to that.  What you see is what is.  there is no veneer here.

Kind of sad that you have quietly ignored life changing information in that book on purpose or otherwise.

ANY WAY THE BABY JESUS IS BORN IN BETHLHEM IN JUDEA. MAGI CUBES ER KINGS COME TO VISIT HIM (TO SEASON HIS FOOD). SO THEY GO TO JERUSALEM BY FOLLOWING A STAR (PASTOR AIO IS THAT ALSO SYMBOLIC). THEY TELL THE KING THEIR BULL STORY AND THE WHOLE TOWN GETS THE BLUES. THE MEN FIND THE STAR OVER MARY AND JOSEPHS HOUSE (WHICH SHOULD BE A PILE OF ASHES ALONG WITH EVERYTHING ELSE). THEY WORSHIP HIM. JOSEPH GETS NIGHTMARES AND FLEES TO EGYPT. HEROD KILLS ONLY BOYS AGED 3 AND BELOW(THIS GOES SUPRISINGLY UNNOTICED BY HISTORIANS)JESUS GOES TO BE BAPTIZED BY JOHN THE BAPTIST.
HE IS LED BY THE HOLY SPIRTI (HIMSELF?)TO THE WILDERNESS WHERE HE FASTS AND PRAYS TO HIMSELF FOR FORTY DAYS AND FORTY NIGHTS. THE DEVIL COMES TO HIM TO SAY THAT HE SHOULD TURN STONES TO BREAD. JESUS QUOTES BIBLE. DEVIL TELLS HIM TO ATTEMPT SUICIDE, JESUS QUOTES SCRITPTURE. THE DEVIL TAKES HIM TO A REALLY HIGH MOUNTAIN WHERE HE CAN SEE ALL THE KINGDOMS OF THE WORLD AND(HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE) JESUS TELLS HIM TO FU.C.K OFF.
COMMENT:WHO WROTE ALL THIS DOWN. HE WAS ALONE. SO JESUS WAS LIKE, SO DUDES ONE DAY ME AND THE DEVIL HAD A BRAWL AND I TOTALLY ONE LOLOLOLOL
JESUS GOES ON A HEALING SPREE
JESUS GIVES THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT AND PEOPLE ARE AMAZED AT HIS WISDOM
CMT: SO I CANCO ON THE ROAD AND BE ALL LIKE BE GOOD DONT STEAL DONT LIE. AND PEOPLE ARE BLOWN AWAY BY MY WISDOM. WOW.
JESUS IS THE XMEN STORM MATT8:23-27
JESUS HEALS TWO DEMON POSSESSED MEN WITH CONVENIENT DIALOGUE. 'JESUS, WHO IS OBVIOUSLY THE SON OF GOD,WHAT DO YOU WANT?' JESUS SENDS THEM INTO PIGS AND KILLS A WHOLE TOWN'S BUSINESS.
JESUS CALLS MATTHEW:SO WHO WAS TELLING THIS STORY
JESUS IS QUESTIONED ABOUT FASTING AND BLOWS OFF A FEW LIES.
NEXT, TWO BLIND MEN OLLOW JESUS(TRULY A MIRACLE)JESUS HEALS THEM.
PHARISEES MAKE A GOOD POINT, IT IS BY THE PRINCE OF DEMONS HE CASTS OUT DEMONS.

JESUS WALKS ON WATER, LIKE NARUTO.
JESUS TAKES HIS GAY TRIO TO A MOUNTAIN IN PRIVATE (HOW CONVENIENT) AND SUMMONS ELIJAH AND MOSES WHOM PETER SOMEHOW RECOGNIZES.
JESUS MEETS TWO MORE BLIND MEN (THEY TRAVEL IN PACKS OF TWO I GUESS)
JESUS CURSES A FIG TREE FOR NOT BEING RIPE OUT OF SEASON. INSTEAD OF USING HIS GOD POWERS TO RIPEN IT.
JESUS BLOWS ANOTHER LIE (MOUNTAIN JUMPING)
JESUS TELLS OF THE SIGNS OF THE ENDWHICH ARE, FAMINE ,WAR AND EARTHQUAKES. (OOH SO UNNATURAL)
JESUS GOES TO GETHSEMANE.
JESUS IS FRENCHED BY JUDAS (NO HOMO)
JESUS IS ARRESTED AND KILLED.
HE IS BROUGHT BACK BY HIMSELF(?)

ea7, it seems like you are an unbeliever? Unbelief is sin, are you also a sinner?

Some parts are meant to be funny, some to point out silly and absurd stuff.

@Ea7,
You want to break my head with laughter. But on a more serious note, the real reason why religion thrives especially in this part of the world is because of denial and intentional delusion. If christians would just go out of their way to read outside the box they would learn more. I read Age of Reason and Examination of The Prophecies both written by Thomas Paine and I cant help but wonder how Bible writters have succeeded in deluding humanity for Millenia. I will advice Nlanders to read these books with an open and they can tell me if they would not doubt their faoundational beliefs.

Pastor AIO:

I wouldn't use the word 'fault' myself, but that was the general idea, yeah.  And as for the bolded part, we couldn't agree any better.  'sense' is relative.

So if sense is relative, you can never claim that your beliefs are absolute. When a muslim says to you, "Jesus is not the son of god" and "God speaks arabic", you will say he doesn't make sense. Just keep in mind that the "trinity" and  "jesus is god" don't make sense to him either.

Pastor AIO:

Please give another considered look at what I wrote.  I asked if you felt there was any such thing as symbolism in literature, and why you felt the bible cannot have symbolic texts in it. 
As to whether or not you can understand symbolic literature I really don't care.  That was not my question.  it seems that for you all metaphors are senseless but some metaphors are more senseless than others. 

Make up your mind, first you ask if I can understand that the bible contain symbolism, then in the next line you don't care if I understand.

Napoleon and his deputies dine with the humans and partake in every vice they swore they will never indulge in, while the rest of the animals look through the windows and console themselves with age old propaganda while they continue to suffer.

What religion does that remind you of? Does that metaphor make sense to you?  lol Nigeria has a few Napoleons and the some of the animals come on this board and spew that good old propaganda.

Pastor AIO:

Are you asking for criteria because you want to know or because you've come to realise that attacking the bible anyhow without structure or basic criteria to guide your evaluations makes you look 'senseless' to any intelligent person reading. 

The only "intelligent(lol) people" that I look "senseless" to are christians. The intelligent people who think a talking snake gave a woman a fruit and caused "the downfall" of mankind. The same intelligent people who think a 600 year old man built a floating zoo that housed every single species on earth. The same intelligent people who think languages came about because mankind tried to build a tower tall enough to visit god in the sky (I wonder what god thinks of the International Space Station). The same intelligent people who think this god sent himself to a remote corner of the middle east 2000+ years ago in order to have himself killed, so he can forgive everyone for the talking snake episode. The black people in this intelligent group didn't even get the good news about this self sacrifice until some other humans from another continent (not the middle east) brought the story to them, then enslaved them while quoting the good book. But now these intelligent black people are like the mourners crying louder than the bereaved when it comes to this god issue. The intelligent people who think seven headed dragons can dump a whole galaxy of stars into the Pacific Ocean. Those intelligent people.

Maybe all the things I just wrote about the bible are symbolic. But they could be literal. They could also be absolute bullsh#t. It's all relative man.

Pastor AIO:

I don't think you know me otherwise you wouldn't be talking of veneer of piety.  Yes I might seem pious once in a dozen blue moons, but generally I tend to fall far short of any stands of piety.  My contributions on NL will attest to that.  What you see is what is.  there is no veneer here.

Got it! You're a Scumbag. That's not suprising though because you already refer to yourself as a "Pastor". Pastor is a synonym for scumbag. lol

Mr. Martian, I don't know what is doing you but I sincerely hope that you can find some resolution to your pain soon.

So if sense is relative, you can never claim that your beliefs are absolute. When a muslim says to you, "Jesus is not the son of god" and "God speaks arabic", you will say he doesn't make sense. Just keep in mind that the "trinity" and "jesus is god" don't make sense to him either.

Wait a minute, you need a mega phone so you can preach a little louder. I'm not sure that your choir can quite hear you.

Chei! Is it that hard for you to grasp such a simple point? Can you appreciate that the Bible contains symbolism? Easy yes or no answer is all that is required. You're trying to impress me with your knowledge of Animal Farm. Napoleon ko, Burn-a-pant ni!

Yes, I've always believed that venting frustrations helps to relieve the pain even if it is just for a short while. However if you need more permanent relief then I think that you need to face your issues more squarely and directly.

Got it! You're a Scumbag. That's not suprising though because you already refer to yourself as a "Pastor". Pastor is a synonym for scumbag. lol
