Yes that's how depraved you liberals have become. group of satanic blood suckers. What kind of beasts votes against a bill to preserve the life of infants born alive if not devilish people?
What can I say. Many that are born are useless so someone has to keep the numbers of fools down and what better way than to terminate them at birth? I mean, we're only after the ones condoms didn't kill, so I wonder what the hassles is.

I wonder what you'd say when we introduce a policy that states you need a license to have sex? We plan to put a meter on your privates and charge you for using it.

If the law and the prophets was the perfect Word of God, then why wasn't it able to make the rich young man who kept it perfect and to enter into into the kingdom of God?
Because the rich young man was not perfect enough.
If he had been, Christ would not have found more to give him to do.

The standard is different for everyone, see. To whom more is given more must be done to enter the KoG.

jesusjnr:
I agree with you buda that the Word of God has always being perfect but only with respect to God, and not that of man. .
As in the human has always imperfectly seen (understood) the Word of God, right?

jesusjnr:
For instance the law and the prophets in the sense of the Word of God was not perfect .....
The Word of God has always been perfect, and will always be perfect, forever.

jesusjnr:
For the difference can be illustrated by the coming of John the baptist who represented the imperfect Word of God(law and the prophets), to prepare the way for the perfect Word of God, Jesus..
No, John the baptist did not represent the imperfect Word of God. He himself said "I am not perfect, but I announce the coming of someone perfect.

jesusjnr:
For the coming of the perfect Word of God represented an upgrade to the law and the prophets, if not there would have been no need for a John the baptist to prepare the way.
No! "I did not come to change the Word, but to enable you humans to understand the already perfect word of God better", is what Jesus said.
Christianity Etc › Re: The Way by budaatum(op): 11:01am On Feb 28, 2019
jesusjnr:
For although it was not in the perfect form as it was in the beginning, and hence unable to lead man to eternal life, it was yet the Word of God to some extent, and hence was able to grant man some access to God even before it was made flesh in Jesus.
The Word of God has always been perfect. It was the human 'eye' that imperfectly 'sees'.

jesusjnr:
And the coming of the Word of God in the human form, in the person of Jesus was meant to perfect that way that already was prior to His coming to Earth, so that it would lead to eternal life.
The coming of the Word of God in the human form was simply to make it better seeable by semi blind humans, and not an improvement of the Word.

jesusjnr:
For the Word of God is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
And God's mercy endureth for ever.

Proverbs 17 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Contrast the Upright and the Wicked
17 Better is a dry morsel [of food served] with quietness and peace
Than a house full of feasting [served] with strife and contention.
2
A wise servant will rule over the [unworthy] son who acts shamefully and brings disgrace [to the family]
And [the worthy servant] will share in the inheritance among the brothers.
3
The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold,
But the Lord tests hearts.
4
An evildoer listens closely to wicked lips;
And a liar pays attention to a destructive and malicious tongue.
5
Whoever mocks the poor taunts his Maker,
And he who rejoices at [another’s] disaster will not go unpunished.
6
Grandchildren are the crown of aged men,
And the glory of children is their fathers [who live godly lives].
7
Excellent speech does not benefit a fool [who is spiritually blind],
Much less do lying lips benefit a prince.
8
A bribe is like a bright, precious stone in the eyes of its owner;
Wherever he turns, he prospers.
9
He who covers and forgives an offense seeks love,
But he who repeats or gossips about a matter separates intimate friends.
10
A reprimand goes deeper into one who has understanding and a teachable spirit
Than a hundred lashes into a fool.
11
A rebellious man seeks only evil;
Therefore a cruel messenger will be sent against him.
12
Let a man meet a [ferocious] bear robbed of her cubs
Rather than the [angry, narcissistic] fool in his folly.
13
Whoever returns evil for good,
Evil will not depart from his house.
14
The beginning of strife is like letting out water [as from a small break in a dam; first it trickles and then it gushes];
Therefore [a]abandon the quarrel before it breaks out and tempers explode.
15
He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous
Are both repulsive to the Lord.
16
Why is there money in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom,
When he has no common sense or even a heart for it?
17
A friend loves at all times,
And a brother is born for adversity.
18
A man lacking common sense gives a pledge
And becomes guarantor [for the debt of another] in the presence of his neighbor.
19
He who loves transgression loves strife and is quarrelsome;
He who [proudly] raises his gate seeks destruction [because of his arrogant pride].
20
He who has a crooked mind finds no good,
And he who is perverted in his language falls into evil.
21
He who becomes the parent of a fool [who is spiritually blind] does so to his sorrow,
And the father of a fool [who is spiritually blind] has no joy.
22
A happy heart is good medicine and a joyful mind causes healing,
But a broken spirit dries up the bones.
23
A wicked man receives a bribe from the [hidden] pocket
To pervert the ways of justice.
24
[Skillful and godly] wisdom is in the presence of a person of understanding [and he recognizes it],
But the eyes of a [thickheaded] fool are on the ends of the earth.
25
A foolish son is a grief and anguish to his father
And bitterness to her who gave birth to him.
26
It is also not good to fine the righteous,
Nor to strike the noble for their uprightness.
27
He who has knowledge restrains and is careful with his words,
And a man of understanding and wisdom has a cool spirit (self-control, an even temper).
28
Even a [callous, arrogant] fool, when he keeps silent, is considered wise;
When he closes his lips he is regarded as sensible (prudent, discreet) and a man of understanding.

Don't you know that they are occultic people? That's why they support infanticide. One of their usual rituals is the sacrifice of children
Have you not heard of the famous infant farms? We capture young women, get them pregnant and just as soon as they enter labour, we rip the infant's heart out of its mother's belly and eat its heart!

Ritually, and liberally, of course.

Akin1212:
You already shot yourself in the foot Buda.

Surely and certainly were the words used by God, so God specifically used those English words? Even with those English words, we can still say it means only. According to the fairy, they were not told about death until when instructed not to eat from a tree planted by the protagonist. If the tree wasn't there, they were surely not going to die. Any additional explanation is your own contribution to suit the narrative, which at this point is unnecessary. They would surely die, when they become knowledgeable, but you said ignorance leads to death. That's where you shot yourself in the foot. You honestly did a cognitive dissonance. You should stick with one path, I cannot be going round circles with you. You also said death is inevitable, so it means whether you're ignorant or not you'll die.

Choose one reason why they died.

1. Because they were ignorant.
2. Because they became knowledgeable.
3. Because death was inevitable.


Assuming the story was true.
You have added a rogue, "only", to suit your own narrative, and you claim "If the tree wasn't there, they were surely not going to die". Where do you get that from? How do you know that if they had not eaten the fruit of the tree of knowledge and evil that they might have done something else at a later date that have pissed God off, or God just got bored of them eventually so God killed them?

Anyway,

1, They died.

2, They died and had been dying, even before they knew they died, and eventually became knowledgeable about the death they were dying.

3, Because, death is inevitable.
Christianity Etc › Re: Rapture: No One Is Flying Or Disappearing To Anywhere by budaatum: 7:38pm On Feb 27, 2019
Read the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ as inspired by the Holy Spirit!

oaroloye:
MISHIGAS!



YOUR FIRST MISTAKE IS YOUR IGNORANCE OF WHO IT IS WHO IS AUTHORIZED TO TEACH THE CHURCH.

[color=silver].[/color] MATTHEW 23:1-15.

THEN Spake Jesus to the multitude,
and to his Disciples,

2. Saying,

"The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
3. "All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe,
that observe and do; but do not ye after their works:
for they say, and do not.
4. "For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne,
and lay them on men's shoulders;
but they themselves will not move them
with one of their fingers.
5. "But all their works they do for to be seen of men:
they make broad their phylacteries,
and enlarge the borders of their garments,
6. "And love the Uppermost Rooms at feasts,
and the Chief Seats in the Synagogues,
7. "And greetings in the markets,
and to be called of men, 'Rabbi, Rabbi.'
8. "But be not ye called 'Rabbi:'
for one is your Master, even Christ;
and all ye are Brethren.
9. "And call no man your father upon the Earth:
for one is your Father, Which is in Heaven.
10. "Neither be ye called masters:
for one is your Master, even Christ.
11. "But he that is greatest among you
shall be your servant.
12. "And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased;
and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
13. "But woe unto you,
scribes and Pharisees,
Hypocrites!
for ye shut up The Kingdom of Heaven against men:
for ye neither go in yourselves,
neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
14. "Woe unto you,
scribes and Pharisees,
Hypocrites!
for ye devour widows' houses,
and for a pretence make long prayer:
therefore ye shall receive The Greater Damnation.
15. "Woe unto you,
scribes and Pharisees,
Hypocrites!
for ye compass Sea and Land
to make one proselyte,
and when he is made, ye make him
twofold more the Child of Hell
than yourselves."

ONLY LORD YESHUA IS AUTHORIZED TO TEACH THE CHURCH.

His Disciples had ONE JOB- that was to teach the World the things that he had taught them.

[color=silver].[/color] MATTHEW 24:14.

14. "And This Gospel of The Kingdom
shall be preached in all the World
for a witness unto all nations;
and then shall The End come."

[color=silver].[/color] MATTHEW 24:35.

35. "Heaven and Earth shall pass away,
but my Words shall not pass away."


[color=silver].[/color] MATTHEW 28:16-20.

18. And Jesus came
and Spake unto them,
saying,

"All Power is given unto me
in Heaven and in Earth.
19. "Go ye therefore,
and teach all nations,
baptizing them
in The Name of The Father,
and of The Son, and of The Holy Ghost:
20. "Teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever I have Commanded you:
and, lo, I am with you alway,
even unto The End of The World."
Amen.

THEY BETRAYED THEIR LORD, SO THAT THEY COULD SEIZE POWER FOR THEMSELVES, AND RUN CHRISTIANITY THE WAY THEY WANTED.

The thought that they could do that- since he had bowed down to them once.

No one questioned it, because that was what was expected of a normal School.

No one knew that Lord Yeshua operated counter-intuitively, because the Disciples weren't telling anyone the REAL Teachings.

The Followers who knew too much- like STEPHEN- were betrayed to the SANHEDRIN, and allowed to be executed.

[color=silver].[/color] ACTS 26:8-11.

8. "Why should it be thought
a thing incredible with you,
that God should raise the dead?
9. "I verily thought with myself,
that I ought to do many things contrary
to the Name of Jesus of Nazareth.
10. "Which thing I also did in Jerusalem:
and many of the Saints did I shut up in prison,
having received authority from the Chief Priests;
and when they were put to death,
I gave my voice against them.
11. "And I punished them oft in every Synagogue,
and compelled them to blaspheme;
and being exceedingly mad against them,
I persecuted them even unto strange cities."

PAUL TRIED TO CHANGE THE GOSPEL, AND MAKE IT ABOUT BELIEVING THAT YESHUA ROSE FROM THE DEAD, AND CALLING HIM "LORD, LORD."

But that is not THE GOSPEL.

SALVATION DEPENDS ON KNOWING AND KEEPING LORD YESHUA'S TEACHINGS.

[color=silver].[/color] MATTHEW 7:12-29.

12. "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would
that men should do to you, do ye even so to them:
for this is The Law and The Prophets."
13. "Enter ye in at the Strait Gate:
for Wide is the Gate, and Broad is the Way,
that leadeth to Destruction,
and many there be which go in thereat:
14. "Because Strait is the Gate, and Narrow is The Way,
which leadeth unto Life, and few there be that find it.
15. "Beware of False Prophets,
which come to you in sheep's clothing,
but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16. "Ye shall know them by their Fruits.
Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17. "Even so every good tree bringeth forth Good Fruit;
but a corrupt tree bringeth forth Evil Fruit.
18. "A Good Tree cannot bring forth Evil Fruit,
neither can a Corrupt Tree bring forth Good Fuit.
19. "Every Tree that bringeth not forth Good Fruit
is hewn down, and cast into The Fire.
20. "Wherefore by their Fruits ye shall know them.
21. "Not every one that saith unto me, 'Lord, Lord,'
shall enter into The Kingdom of Heaven;
but he that doeth The Will of my Father
Which is in Heaven.
22. "Many will say to me in That Day,

'LORD, LORD, HAVE WE NOT
PROPHESIED IN THY NAME?
AND IN THY NAME
HAVE CAST OUT DEVILS?
AND IN THY NAME
DONE MANY WONDERFUL WORKS?'


23. "And then will I profess unto them,

'I NEVER KNEW YOU:
DEPART FROM ME,
YE THAT WORK INIQUITY.'


24. "Therefore whosoever heareth
these Sayings of mine, and doeth them,
I will liken him unto a Wise Man,
which built his House upon a Rock:
25. "And the rain descended, and the floods came,
and the winds blew, and beat upon that House;
and it Fell not: for it was founded upon a Rock.
26. "And every one that heareth
these Sayings of mine, and doeth them not,
shall be likened unto a Foolish Man,
which built his house upon the Sand:
27. "And the rain descended, and the floods came,
and the winds blew, and beat upon that House;
and it Fell: and Great was The Fall of it."
28. And it came to pass,
when Jesus had ended these Sayings,
the People were astonished at his Doctrine:
29. For he Taught them as One having Authority,
and not as the scribes.

THESE TEACHINGS WERE NOT RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC UNTIL AFTER CEPHAS AND PAUL HAD DIED.

People may have realized that they didn't have to let them hold the Church back- but the damage was already done.



[color=silver].[/color] PSALM 110:1.

THE LORD said unto my Lord,

"Sit thou at my Right Hand,
until I make thine enemies thy footstool."

IF YOU KNEW THE SCRIPTURES- AS A CHRISTIAN WOULD- YOU WOULD KNOW THAT LORD YESHUA CANNOT RETURN UNTIL HIS ENEMIES HAVE BEEN SUBDUED- AS PER THE FIRST COMMANDMENT:

. GENESIS 1:26-28.

26. And God said,
"Let us make Man in Our Image, after Our Likeness:
and let them have Dominion over the Fish of the Sea,
and over the Fowl of the Air, and over the Cattle,
and over all the Earth,
and over every Creeping Thing
that Creepeth upon the Earth.
27. So God created Man in His Own Image,
in The Image of God created He him;
male and female created He them.
28. And God Blessed them,
and God said unto them,
"Be fruitful, and multiply,
and replenish the Earth,
and subdue It:
and have Dominion over the Fish of the Sea,
and over the Fowl of the Air,
and over every Living Thing
that moveth upon the Earth."

THAT IS NOT HIS JOB TO DO- IT IS THE JOB OF HIS DISCIPLES TO DO!

[color=silver].[/color] LUKE 10:16-24.

16. "He that heareth you heareth me;
and he that despiseth you despiseth me;
and he that despiseth me
despiseth Him that sent me."
17. And the seventy returned again with joy,
saying,

"Lord, even the Devils are subject unto us
through thy Name."

18. And he said unto them,

"I beheld Satan as lightning fall from Heaven.
19. "Behold, I give unto you Power
to tread on Serpents and Scorpions,
and over all the Power of the Enemy:
and nothing shall by any means hurt you."
20. "Notwithstanding in this rejoice not,
that the spirits are subject unto you;
but rather rejoice,
because your Names are written in Heaven."

21. In that Hour
Jesus rejoiced in spirit,
and said,

"I thank Thee,
O Father,
Lord of Heaven and Earth,
that thou hast hid these things
from the wise and prudent,
and hast revealed them unto babes:
even so, Father;
for so it seemed Good in Thy Sight.
22. "All things are delivered to me of my Father:
and no man knoweth who The Son is,
but The Father;
and Who The Father is,
but The Son,
and he to whom The Son
will reveal him."

23. And he turned him unto his Disciples,
and said privately,

"Blessed are the eyes
which see the things that ye see:
24. "For I Tell you,

'THAT MANY PROPHETS AND KINGS
HAVE DESIRED TO SEE
THOSE THINGS WHICH YE SEE,
AND HAVE NOT SEEN THEM;
AND TO HEAR THOSE THINGS
WHICH YE HEAR,
AND HAVE NOT HEARD THEM.' "


The Oyinbos thought that Christianity should consist of weakling Christians being chased around by the Mighty Devil and his Minions, because that is the Legacy Lord Yeshua's Disciples left behind.

It was not supposed to be like that- any more than ADAM AND EVE were supposed to be subject to THE SERPENT.

THAT was the CHOICE Adam and Eve MADE.

God did not make It for them- but He had to abide by It.



[color=silver].[/color] DEUTERONOMY 22:9-11.

9. Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds:
lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown,
and the fruit of thy vineyard, be defiled.
10. Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.
11. Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts
as of woollen and linen together.


YOU ARE MISTAKEN IN TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE SCRIPTURES USING THE EARTHLY PRINCIPLES INADEQUATELY.

THE GOSPEL changes our ability to dominate the Earth and everything in It.

Akin1212:
So, are you saying Adam and Eve were going to die anyway even if they didn't eat from the tree of knowledge, because of course thay had life? Even when they were specifically told that they will die only if they eat from the tree? So, death was a useless threat? I think you should check your argument Budaatum. You're threading a path where you'll shoot yourself in the foot.

Assuming the story was true.
How can I shoot myself in the foot when I can see my foot, thread carefully on the path, and don't know how to shoot nor have a gun?!

Adam and Eve were not specifically told that they will die only if they eat from the tree! "Surely, and certainly" die, are the sort of words used, a specific threat not to be read as "I, God, will kill you instantly!" Adam and Eve must have understood what was meant or they would have asked God what God meant at the time.
Christianity Etc › Re: The Way by budaatum(op): 12:52am On Feb 27, 2019
Proverbs 16 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Contrast the Upright and the Wicked
16 The plans and reflections of the heart belong to man,
But the [wise] answer of the tongue is from the Lord.
2
All the ways of a man are clean and innocent in his own eyes [and he may see nothing wrong with his actions],
But the Lord weighs and examines the motives and intents [of the heart and knows the truth].
3
[a]Commit your works to the Lord [submit and trust them to Him],
And your plans will succeed [if you respond to His will and guidance].
4
The Lord has made everything for its own purpose,
Even the wicked [according to their role] for the day of evil.
5
Everyone who is proud and arrogant in heart is disgusting and exceedingly offensive to the Lord;
Be assured he will not go unpunished.
6
By mercy and lovingkindness and truth [not superficial ritual] wickedness is cleansed from the heart,
And by the fear of the Lord one avoids evil.
7
When a man’s ways please the Lord,
He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8
Better is a little with righteousness
Than great income [gained] with injustice.
9
A man’s mind plans his way [as he journeys through life],
But the Lord directs his steps and establishes them.
10
A divine decision [given by God] is on the lips of the king [as His representative];
His mouth should not be unfaithful or unjust in judgment.
11
A just balance and [honest] scales are the Lord’s;
All the weights of the bag are His concern [established by His eternal principles].
12
It is repulsive [to God and man] for kings to behave wickedly,
For a throne is established on righteousness (right standing with God).
13
Righteous lips are the delight of kings,
And he who speaks right is loved.
14
The wrath of a king is like a messenger of death,
But a wise man will appease it.
15
In the light of the king’s face is life,
And his favor is like a cloud bringing the spring rain.
16
How much better it is to get wisdom than gold!
And to get understanding is to be chosen above silver.
17
The highway of the upright turns away and departs from evil;
He who guards his way protects his life (soul).
18
Pride goes before destruction,
And a haughty spirit before a fall.
19
It is better to be humble in spirit with the lowly
Than to divide the spoil with the proud (haughty, arrogant).
20
He who pays attention to the word [of God] will find good,
And blessed (happy, prosperous, to be admired) is he who trusts [confidently] in the Lord.
21
The wise in heart will be called understanding,
And sweet speech increases persuasiveness and learning [in both speaker and listener].
22
Understanding (spiritual insight) is a [refreshing and boundless] wellspring of life to those who have it,
But to give instruction and correction to fools is foolishness.
23
The heart of the wise instructs his mouth [in wisdom]
And adds persuasiveness to his lips.
24
Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,
Sweet and delightful to the soul and healing to the body.
25
There is a way which seems right to a man and appears straight before him,
But its end is the way of death.
26
The appetite of a worker works for him,
For his hunger urges him on.
27
A worthless man devises and digs up evil,
And the words on his lips are like a scorching fire.
28
A perverse man spreads strife,
And one who gossips separates intimate friends.
29
A violent and exceedingly covetous man entices his neighbor [to sin],
And leads him in a way that is not good.
30
He who [slyly] winks his eyes does so to plot perverse things;
And he who compresses his lips [as if in a secret signal] brings evil to pass.
31
The silver-haired head is a crown of splendor and glory;
It is found in the way of righteousness.
32
He who is slow to anger is better and more honorable than the mighty [soldier],
And he who rules and controls his own spirit, than he who captures a city.
33
The lot is cast into the lap,
[b]But its every decision is from the Lord.

but at times I don't feel like church as a result of our practices, I want to practice Jesus not religion - Jesus preaches Love nothing more but our pastors preaches religion.
they make us see non-Christian as what? Evil while they are not, do you expect a man you show hostility to return love for it? we tell a man to his face he is evil when he is trying to be nice and expect him to be happy with us?
Like!

Akin1212:
Was death inevitable for Adam and Eve before they ate from the tree of good and evil or was death a consequence of eating from the tree of good and evil?

Assuming the story is true.
Death is an inevitable consequence for all things that have life.

Eating from the tree of good and evil made Adam and Eve aware that things die.

Proverbs 15 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Contrast the Upright and the Wicked
15 A soft and gentle and thoughtful answer turns away wrath,
But harsh and painful and careless words stir up anger.
2
The tongue of the wise speaks knowledge that is pleasing and acceptable,
But the [babbling] mouth of fools spouts folly.
3
The eyes of the Lord are in every place,
Watching the evil and the good [in all their endeavors].
4
A soothing tongue [speaking words that build up and encourage] is a tree of life,
But a perversive tongue [speaking words that overwhelm and depress] crushes the spirit.
5
A [flippant, arrogant] fool rejects his father’s instruction and correction,
But he who [is willing to learn and] regards and keeps in mind a reprimand acquires good sense.
6
Great and priceless treasure is in the house of the [consistently] righteous one [who seeks godly instruction and grows in wisdom],
But trouble is in the income of the wicked one [who rejects the laws of God].
7
The lips of the wise spread knowledge [sifting it as chaff from the grain];
But the hearts of [shortsighted] fools are not so.
8
The sacrifice of the wicked is hateful and exceedingly offensive to the Lord,
But the prayer of the upright is His delight!
9
The way [of life] of the wicked is hateful and exceedingly offensive to the Lord,
But He loves one who pursues righteousness [personal integrity, moral courage and honorable character].
10
There is severe discipline for him who [a]turns from the way [of righteousness];
And he who hates correction will die.
11
Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) and Abaddon (the abyss, the place of eternal punishment) lie open before the Lord—
How much more the hearts and inner motives of the children of men.
12
A scoffer [unlike a wise man] resents one who rebukes him and tries to teach him;
Nor will he go to the wise [for counsel and instruction].
13
A heart full of joy and goodness makes a cheerful face,
But when a heart is full of sadness the spirit is crushed.
14
The mind of the intelligent and discerning seeks knowledge and eagerly inquires after it,
But the mouth of the [stubborn] fool feeds on foolishness.
15
All the days of the afflicted are bad,
But a glad heart has a continual feast [regardless of the circumstances].
16
Better is a little with the [reverent, worshipful] fear of the Lord
Than great treasure and trouble with it.
17
Better is a dinner of vegetables and herbs where love is present
Than a fattened ox served with hatred.
18
A hot-tempered man stirs up strife,
But he who is slow to anger and patient calms disputes.
19
The way of the lazy is like a hedge of thorns [it pricks, lacerates, and entangles him],
But the way [of life] of the upright is smooth and open like a highway.
20
A wise son makes a father glad,
But a foolish man despises his mother.
21
Foolishness is joy to him who is without heart and lacks [intelligent, common] sense,
But a man of understanding walks uprightly [making his course straight].
22
Without consultation and wise advice, plans are frustrated,
But with many counselors they are established and succeed.
23
A man has joy in giving an appropriate answer,
And how good and delightful is a word spoken at the right moment—how good it is!
24
The [chosen] path of life leads upward for the wise,
That he may keep away from Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) below.
25
The Lord will tear down the house of the proud and arrogant (self-righteous),
But He will establish and protect the boundaries [of the land] of the [godly] widow.
26
Evil plans and thoughts of the wicked are exceedingly vile and offensive to the Lord,
But pure words are pleasant words to Him.
27
He who profits unlawfully brings suffering to his own house,
But he who hates bribes [and does not receive nor pay them] will live.
28
The heart of the righteous thinks carefully about how to answer [in a wise and appropriate and timely way],
But the [babbling] mouth of the wicked pours out malevolent things.
29
The Lord is far from the wicked [and distances Himself from them],
But He hears the prayer of the [consistently] righteous [that is, those with spiritual integrity and moral courage].
30
The light of the eyes rejoices the hearts of others,
And good news puts fat on the bones.
31
The ear that listens to and learns from the life-giving rebuke (reprimand, censure)
Will remain among the wise.
32
He who neglects and ignores instruction and discipline despises himself,
But he who learns from rebuke acquires understanding [and grows in wisdom].
33
The [reverent] fear of the Lord [that is, worshiping Him and regarding Him as truly awesome] is the instruction for wisdom [its starting point and its essence];
And before honor comes humility.

Budaatum i'm embarrassed that it's this kind of zombie that I gave any manner of consideration to question your saying that it was 2 atheist down.

Such a waste!
Embarrassed? Why the Jonah attitude? Don't you have girded loins, a breastplate of righteousness, shod feet, a shield of faith, a helmet of salvation and an armour of truth to deploy to quench the fiery darts of the wicked who peddle ignorance that leads to perdition? Know ye not that Jonahs end up as vomited whale food? I wonder what you'd have done if he had nails and two by fours!

God Almighty does not create Satan zombies! Spray the Power of Jesus which is love, and knees will bow!

frank317:
U must accept Jesus by blind faith. Just believe with no prove. Believe in ur mind that Jesus died for ur sins....
No, you do not need to "accept Jesus by blind faith"! You might be told to accept Jesus by blind faith when you are a child, but you must indeed grow up someday and consider what you have blind faith in and test if is true or not and worth having faith in. And no, I do not mean, true that Jesus was born of a virgin and all such things, but whether it is true or not that Jesus "died for your sins". And in order to do that you'd likely have to translate words like sin, faith, hell, and even, died and Jesus, into English. And then, it's still not a 'must', but a choice.

So, in grown up English, you might 'learn' how Jesus lived so that you too may learn not to live in 'error' for the reward of error is 'pain'. You just imagine the sort of people who would be your neighbours if Jesus (logos, knowledge, the truth, the proper or at least better way to live), had not been taught. You'd likely find your neighbours would be unevolved apes who'd delight in slapping you first, amongst other nasty things they'd likely do to you.

As for atheism dying. Funny that a religious person would not understand that the "poor in spirit will always be amongst us". The difficultly of understanding religious jesusy language I suppose.

jesusjnr:
OK buda e do! I have heard you.

It two down but you have to stop complicating things unnecessarily, and be ready to portray so wherever you go, and to whomever you know, for if you say two down and then one and half it causes unwarranted confusion.

I was never trying to put you into a box, because as you can clearly see, I refused to be put into any box myself, except the box of my Master's saying which is the only necessary box as far as the church goes if you ask me.

It's okay for us to disagree on somethings but let's be united by the Truth, which is Jesus, and have Him be what we have in common.

Welcome again buda, welcome.

Sorry for not understanding you at first, but at least now you have cleared matters up, so that i'm now doubly sure that when you said it's two atheists down, it was actually two atheists down, and not one and half. cheesy

God be with buda! wink
And with you too, jesus, always.
Christianity Etc › Re: The End Of Atheism Is Nigh! by budaatum: 3:58am On Feb 23, 2019
jesusjnr:
And this.

My divisiveness indeed, just looking for any excuse to justify your error, if not why would you claim it was two atheist down instead of one, if you truly thought there was no difference?

Am sorry If i'm being hard on you, because I understand that it may not be easy to get a full grip on what it entails, hence my advice to you is that you first keep your conversion talk on the down low until you are completely sure about it. So that when you are completely certain about it, then bring it to the fore, so that you'll not find yourself confusing everyone inclusive of yourself.
I don't think I said "two atheists were down", anywhere. It sure wouldn't sound like the buda I know. And as far as Christianity as practised by Christians is concerned, believe me when I say I am more of a minus than a ½. As to my actual score, the only test I've sat on the topic is the Tatime Test where I scored lowly.

You asked me for a conversion story and I refused. I guess its time. I had a visitation by a pastor prior to my half, and we discussed. In our conversation, what seemed to fundamentally contradict what I found in my own Bible was professed so I brought up the text. It was then the pastor confessed to having never read the Bible from cover to cover and I realised how much Christians had put me off Christianity. It brought to mind 90 year old Papa Roger (rip), a JW, who on hearing I was an atheist refused to talk to me for months until he learnt about me and finally told me I was more Jesusy in his opinion than many believers he knew. It so happened I was one of his more frequent visitors as he lay on his death bed.

I don't have to justify any error, jnr nor am I confused. My conversion is in my having a personal relationship with Christ and disregarding misrepresentations of him as given by numerous so called Christians I have met whom it turns out have not really properly read their Bibles hence the reason they are believers as opposed to "do my willers". The fact is, I have always admired Jesus Christ as you'd note from my posts going back a decade now but Christians have managed to put me off him. Well not anymore. And if anyone is confused then perhaps they are beginning to understand why it is written that a person’s enemies will be the members of his own household. God is the one who is ever Knowing and Wise, and not them!

Proverbs 14 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Contrast the Upright and the Wicked
14 The wise woman builds her house [on a foundation of godly precepts, and her household thrives],
But the foolish one [who lacks spiritual insight] tears it down with her own hands [by ignoring godly principles].
2
He who walks in uprightness [reverently] fears the Lord [and obeys and worships Him with profound respect],
But he who is devious in his ways despises Him.
3
In the mouth of the [arrogant] [a]fool [who rejects God] is a rod for his back,
But the lips of the wise [when they speak with godly wisdom] will protect them.
4
Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean,
But much revenue [because of good crops] comes by the strength of the ox.
5
A faithful and trustworthy witness will not lie,
But a false witness speaks lies.
6
A scoffer seeks wisdom and finds none [for his ears are closed to wisdom],
But knowledge is easy for one who understands [because he is willing to learn].
7
Leave the presence of a [shortsighted] fool,
For you will not find knowledge or hear godly wisdom from his lips.
8
The wisdom of the sensible is to understand his way,
But the foolishness of [shortsighted] fools is deceit.
9
Fools mock sin [but sin mocks the fools],
But among the upright there is good will and the favor and blessing of God.
10
The heart knows its own bitterness,
And no stranger shares its joy.
11
The house of the wicked will be overthrown,
But the tent of the upright will thrive.
12
There is a way which seems right to a man and appears straight before him,
But its end is the way of death.
13
Even in laughter the heart may be in pain,
And the end of joy may be grief.
14
The backslider in heart will have his fill with his own [rotten] ways,
But a good man will be satisfied with his ways [the godly thought and action which his heart pursues and in which he delights].
15
The naive or inexperienced person [is easily misled and] believes every word he hears,
But the prudent man [is discreet and astute and] considers well where he is going.
16
A wise man suspects danger and cautiously avoids evil,
But the fool is arrogant and careless.
17
A quick-tempered man acts foolishly and without self-control,
And a man of wicked schemes is hated.
18
The naive [are unsophisticated and easy to exploit and] inherit foolishness,
But the sensible [are thoughtful and far-sighted and] are crowned with knowledge.
19
The evil will bow down before the good,
And the wicked [will bow down] at the gates of the righteous.
20
The poor man is hated even by his neighbor,
But those who love the rich are many.
21
He who despises his neighbor sins [against God and his fellow man],
But happy [blessed and favored by God] is he who is gracious and merciful to the poor.
22
Do they not go astray who devise evil and wander from the way of righteousness?
But kindness and truth will be to those who devise good.
23
In all labor there is profit,
But mere talk leads only to poverty.
24
The crown of the wise is their wealth [of wisdom],
But the foolishness of [closed-minded] fools is [nothing but] folly.
25
A truthful witness saves lives,
But he who speaks lies is treacherous.
26
In the [reverent] fear of the Lord there is strong confidence,
And His children will [always] have a place of refuge.
27
The [reverent] fear of the Lord [that leads to obedience and worship] is a fountain of life,
So that one may avoid the snares of death.
28
In a multitude of people is a king’s glory,
But in a lack of people is a [pretentious] prince’s ruin.
29
He who is slow to anger has great understanding [and profits from his self-control],
But he who is quick-tempered exposes and exalts his foolishness [for all to see].
30
A calm and peaceful and tranquil heart is life and health to the body,
But passion and envy are like rottenness to the bones.
31
He who oppresses the poor taunts and insults his Maker,
But he who is kind and merciful and gracious to the needy honors Him.
32
The wicked is overthrown through his wrongdoing,
But the righteous has hope and confidence and a refuge [with God] even in death.
33
Wisdom rests [silently] in the heart of one who has understanding,
But what is in the heart of [shortsighted] fools is made known.
34
Righteousness [moral and spiritual integrity and virtuous character] exalts a nation,
But sin is a disgrace to any people.
35
The king’s favor and good will are toward a servant who acts wisely and discreetly,
But his anger and wrath are toward him who acts shamefully.
