Christianity EtcRe: Murder. Holocaust. ABORTION by Joshthefirst(op): 2:37pm On Nov 07, 2013
peterphd: this same argument in the op can be used for gay rights.why do you kill gays and send them to prison because of something that's not their fault? Did they tell their hormones at birth not to properly "develop" them? When you can stop killing gays and let them have a life, we'll consider your "abortion is murder" rant.
when did we kill gays?
Who said there is a hormone for that tendency?

You would equate prejudice of gay people to the murder of millions of innocents. May God have mercy on you.

wiegraf: You do? Then exactly what is wrong with what I posted, genius?
you used sperm cells as examples. A sperm cell is not a developing human being. A zygote is a developing human being.

Abortion also happens in nigeria too. Its just hidden and not legalized.

Anyways, the numbers are far greater than that

Just imagine, how many lives do you end every time you bathe? Hitler has nothing on you..
a sperm cell is a cell genius. Its when it fuses that it becomes a zygote.

aManFromMars: This is just hilarious.

Oh boy, so you wouldn't consider abortion at all, no matter the circumstances?
How is it hilarious? The murder of children in the womb hilarious?
You have no empathy at all?

mazaje at least partly understands why I made that post. It was in reply to what he said earlier. So stop making hasty conclusions.


GeneralShepherd: Josh is a great guy but sometimes he writes insensitive things!!!

If he had lost someone in that tragedy,I am sure he wouldn't even insinuate that the people died because of their sin.

Remember the blind man Jesus healed,when Jesus was asked if he was blind because of his parents' sin? What was Jesus' answer?

Bad things happen to even the most devout christians
I never said bad things don't happen to christians. Stop making hasty conclusions. The post was adressed to mazaje. He understands the flow of conversation.

Christianity EtcRe: Murder. Holocaust. ABORTION by Joshthefirst(op): 12:38pm On Nov 07, 2013
Christianity EtcMurder. Holocaust. ABORTION by Joshthefirst(op):
“A transport of children up to three years of age arrived. The workers were told to dig a big hole into which the children were thrown and buried alive. I cannot forget how the earth rose, until the children suffocated.
 
Now is the time to describe the SS men who had created and operated this hell on earth:"

 
"He was standing on a hill, next to the pits…. the pits… full, they were full. I can’t tell you; not hundreds, thousands, thousands of corpses…. oh God."

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum tells the story of one survivor of the Einsatzgruppen in Piryatin, Ukraine, when they killed 1,600 Jews on April 6, 1942, the second day of Passover:

I saw them do the killing. At 5:00 p.m. they gave the command, "Fill in the pits." Screams and groans were coming from the pits. Suddenly I saw my neighbor Ruderman rise from under the soil … His eyes were bloody and he was screaming: "Finish me off!" … A murdered woman lay at my feet. A boy of five years crawled out from under her body and began to scream desperately. "Mommy!" That was all I saw, since I fell unconscious.[6]


The above quoted post are some of the various crimes commited during the holocaust.
Jews were killed in mass and buried alive by the german soldiers.
Hitler declared jews non-human. He decieved the germans into thinking they were a superior race.

Would you kill those jews if threatened with death? If a gun was pointed at your head and you were told to get into a bulldozer and kill those jews or die, would you? Even if you knew they were going to die anyway? If you were given a gun to finish them off(which would be better than burying them alive) would you?

If you wouldn't, congratulations, you value human life.

So what about abortion? Is it not the same? You value human life, yet you would kill a baby in the womb for selfish reasons?
You might say 'what if she doesn't have money to raise him?'
Does that justify killing it? You value human life?
You were raped, and you would kill a child for the crimes of his father?
You would kill a child because of selfish interests?
You can say: "he's not a human yet"
That's what hitler said to justify the killing of 6 million jews. He said they were not human.
How would you feel if they ended your life in the womb? The womb? The safest place on earth.
My heart bleeds.

If you value human life, you wouldn't commit abortion. The childs life is in your hands. And you would kill it?

May God have mercy on this wicked and sinful generation who murders unborn children. The cries of the innocent. The world will pay in judgement.
But God is able and willing to forgive if you repent.
Stop the abortion and sin and killing.

Over 53 million babies have been killed in the united states since they legalized abortion. The american holocaust. The Nigerian holocaust?

I am short of words...
Repent humanity. The kingdom of God is at hand.

because when someone guilty of breaking Gods law dies, he goes to hell. When he isn't guilty, he goes to heaven.

Profemmy001: So a new born baby is a sinner?
Yay or Nay?
nay.
What is sin?
Who is a sinner?
A sinner is someone guilty of breaking Gods law.

A new born baby has the nature of sin.
He hasn't broken Gods law yet.

Over 53million babes have been murdered in the US. They go to heaven, not hell.

JMAN05: When you say fully man, what do you mean?
I mean completely human, completely God. God became a human being. And walked among men. Some men recognized him. Men of light. Men of darkness hated Gods light personified, because light exposed their evil deeds.
Christianity EtcRe: Is A New Born Baby Already A Sinner? by Joshthefirst(m): 9:41am On Nov 07, 2013
MEILYN: false. The Bible says we are born in sin, nobody is born innocent.

"Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me." (Psalm 51:5).

You have to know we pay for our own sin. I cant be paying for the sins of my father.

"The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him." (Ezekiel 18:20)

so therefore, the Spirit of dat child is not innocent. He came to earth to pay for his sins, to be judged. Earth is the place of judgment and purnishment.

"And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there." (Ecclesiastes 3:16).

the spirit of that child is not innocent, he may have committed alot of atrocities in his past life/ lives.
there is no such thing as a past life. What the bible means is that children and we all are born with the nature of sin.

texanomaly: @ plaetton and Rationalnind and mazaje

More pick and choose, don't pay attention to the rest.
thank you very much for saying what I wanted to say. He probably didn't even read the whole writeup. Just made ill-concieved conclusions.

Gods salvation and solving of the problem is only available for those who trust him.

If you reject his salvation, then you will pay the full penalty for your sins. And you too will be cordoned off in hell at the end.
Christianity EtcRe: Only A Fool Says There Is No God. by Joshthefirst(m): 9:33am On Nov 07, 2013
Alfa Seltzer: You are going to confuse the christian. To them, an act and the intent are the same thing.
hatred is as good as murder. Looking upon one lustfully is as good as commiting the act of fornication or adultry.
God sees the thoughts and intents of the heart. So you are correct in a way. The intent is as immoral and guilty as the act itself.
Christianity EtcIn The Beginning. God. by Joshthefirst(op): 9:29am On Nov 07, 2013
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was made in 6 days. And the earth was made habitable for man by God. And all was perfect.

Something terrible is happening in Europe. Do you feel it? Something ominous. What happens when you take away the authority of God's word? Disaster. Falling away. How did Jesus get popular with his teachings?
He taught with authority.

Satan has come, but subtly as usual. Not in the form of physical persecutions, but in the form of delusions and doubt. In europe, men misinterpret Gods word. In America, they doubt what happened in the beginning. And they have been plunged into the dark. They are told the world has always been with suffering and death. They are told God is evil. They are encouraged to be biased in their thinking against God. Those who truly believed what happened in the beginning are considered foolish. But its true you see. All questions are answered.


In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
And in the beginning, it was good.


Then sin came. And the world was ravaged with wickedness and death. This is the authority of the origins of Gods word. God meant what he said. There was a worldwide flood. The fossils are not millions of years old. There is no millions of years. Science proves this.

Once man began to doubt this incredible account of the beginning sent from the author, he turns out his light and is plunged into the darkness of uncertainty and stoopid speculation. Once man began to foolishly speak as though he was there during unobserved "millions of years", once man begins to base his observable universe on the basis of unproved and unproveable speculation of evolution, bigbang, and millions of years. He becomes confused and vain in thinking.
Yes. Grown men have become brainwashed enough to think the truth is a lie and to think they descended from apes. God forbid.

Once the church accepts this false and speculative beginnings and tries to reconcile it with God's beginnings, the church ends up confused and loses the authority it uses to witness for christ. And people cease to give it ear.

As for me, I'm a believer in genesis and Gods word. I don't listen to nonsense. I believe God meant what he said and I reconcile observable science with genesis and get answers, not questions.

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. And it was good.

But sin came, and suffering, and doubt, and death.
But God came and ended the problem. And he promises a new beginning.

Sin came, and death. For the wages of sin is death. But life came with God. And the delicate program of events and truths in the word I cannot ignore. The prophesies that were fulfilled and are fulfilled I cannot drop. I might be called foolish and dismissed. But in real life. The authority with which I speak from Gods power and Gods word.

Do not be decieved children of God. He means what he says. The beginning is known in the word. Stand on the word and don't be confused or lose your authority.
I stand for God wherever I go. I know his word is true.

But I cannot conclude here you see. Something terrible may have happened in europe and America, but something much more awesome is stirring. The revival of the church. Be prepared to stand in place or be pushed aside by the storm of God we will soon see.
Blessed be the name of the lord. Time will bear witness.

Children of God should walk in the reality of Gods word.
Christianity EtcRe: Only A Fool Says There Is No God. by Joshthefirst(m): 8:59am On Nov 07, 2013
Kay17, please put your question in a better way. Rape is bad. Molestation is bad. Once atheists understand that morality has absolutes, then they cease to become atheists.
The absolutes of morality are not "evolved" or "reasoned", they are even noticed in babes who cannot reason yet.


@macof. Stop decieving yourself.
Christianity EtcRe: Only A Fool Says There Is No God. by Joshthefirst(m): 8:53pm On Nov 06, 2013
Kay 17: @joshthefirst

I asked for the definition of sin, for the sake of the thread, becuase you didn't take the care of providing one, which will be the bearing of this thread.

However, you believe there is universal good?
I believe there is absolute good and evil(sin, the transgression of God's law written in our minds)
I believe morals have an absolute.
Christianity EtcRe: Anambra Tragedy: God And Our Gross National Lunacy by Joshthefirst(m): 8:48pm On Nov 06, 2013
Here's a recent post from ola.
I hope it helps @ mazaje.

"If God is a God of love, why hasn’t He dealt with evil?"

"For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil" (1 Peter 3:12 The Evidence Bible)

In Dr. Robert Morey’s book The New Atheism and the Erosion of Freedom, he talks with an atheist about this issue. The atheist assumes that everything is relative, and there are no absolutes (he is absolutely sure of that). Morey replies that the first thing an atheist must do is prove the existence of evil. By what process can an atheist identify evil? He must have a universal absolute to do so. Without an absolute reference point for "good" (which only God can provide), no one can identify what is good or evil. Thus without the existence of God, there is no "evil" or "good" in an absolute sense. Everything is relative. The problem of evil does not negate the existence of God. It actually requires it.

Many assume that because evil still exists today, God has not dealt with it. How can atheists assume that God has not already solved the problem of evil in such a way that neither His goodness nor omnipotence is limited? On what grounds do they limit what God can and cannot do to solve the problem? God has already solved the problem of evil. And He did it in a way in which He did not contradict His nature or the nature of man. We assume God will solve the problem of evil in one single act. But why can’t He deal with evil in a progressive way? Can’t He deal with it throughout time as we know it, and then bring it to the climax on the Day of Judgment?

God sent His Son to die on the cross in order to solve the problem of evil. Christ atoned for evil and secured the eventual removal of all evil from the earth. One day evil will be quarantined in one spot called "hell." Then there will be a perfect world devoid of all evil. If God declared that all evil would, at this moment, cease to exist, you and I and all of humanity would go up in a puff of smoke. Divine judgment demands that sin be punished.
