Read your damn Bible. The evidence of his tyranny shines through in the Old Testament. If you're capable of the slightest bit of objectivity, please read your Bible in that manner

From Genesis to Revelation i have all the facts in my head, the book is like a letter from an invisible person who wants to introduce himself to mankind. So it's depends on the way you view matters but if you want to know the reason for some of His actions you can ask me i am one of his WITNESSES!

MaxInDHouse:
This is where wisdom comes in!
The group name "CHRISTIANS" is derived from the title "CHRIST" given to a first century Jewish carpenter named Jesus of Nazareth who later became a teacher.
For your information he taught his disciples never to raise weapons against anyone be it friend or foe! Matthew 5:43-48; Luke 9:51-56
So do you really know the TRUE Christians or you've been misinformed?

So you reject the Old Testament?

Well there is EVIDENCE in the presence of my God, if you want to know i'll prove it to you!

Go ahead. Let's see what you got

LordReed:
Well you do pretend you don't. You are fully umbilically attached to the declarations of your religious organisation.

Wait for your time, if you truly want to chat with me i never run away from you it's you that always run away when you find out that you're not making any sense out of what you're saying!

GodIsDead:
As you could see from the content of the OP, I wasn't asking a question. And yes, I did tell you so by changing the topic of the thread
As opposed to what most Nairaland Christians think, you don't have the monopoly on religious discussions on this board. And if you take a good ol' squint towards the beginning of this thread, you'll see that I only tagged atheists in the discussion And I showed you why
This was you merely being disingenuous by trying to create a strawman. I was speaking in the context of religious beliefs and you're talking of the general state of the human being. Pray tell, where's the correlation? Of course I wasn't surprised because I understand how hard it is for Christians to stay on topic
Atheism is nothing more than a lack of belief in the existence of gods. It is not evangelical, it does not make promises. It's not even a religion. So, again I ask you: why does there need to be any costs or benefits?
What are the benefits of not collecting stamps?
Tsk tsk tsk. Where did you see anger nau, Max in d house? Lmfao
This thread was culled from the script of a YouTube video, and frankly my intention was to get atheists' view on it. If I conveyed it be a message, then I apologize because that's not my intention. Like I said, I couldn't care less if you want to keep believing in an imaginary skydaddy

I really appreciate people who makes the best use of their freeness of speech but when you cross the boundary by trying to influence other people's beliefs you shouldn't be afraid to entertain thought provoking questions Sir!

There's a little difference between the Old and New Testament, please present the case you have against my God and let's trash it now!

Please i've got business to attend to perhaps in the nest one or two hours i'll join you.
I really appreciate your concern Sir!

Why do you assume to know the reasons why God does what he does? How are you supposed to know? Does the Bible not state that God is beyond human understanding? How then, can you claim special knowledge of the inner workings of God's mind? Sounds a little arrogant and even blasphemous to me.

This is one of things that amuses me about Christianity. You claim God exists and wants fellowship with mankind. What is stopping your God from talking directly to people? Why am I obliged to listen to your interpretation of the scriptures? And if you really claim to possess knowledge, how can I tell you're the real McCoy and not just full of shit?

I dont practise religion.

religion /rɪˈlɪdʒ(ə)n/

noun

the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.

If you mean to tell me that you don't believe in your God, you don't worship him, and you don't seek to have a personal relationship with him, then yes, I agree. You don't practice religion

[s]

You serve what you don't know, that is why you are a slave to immorality and strange appetites. The true worshippers are they that appear Before the true God in zion, in spirit. They dwell in light and truth, they are not slave to sin and unrighteousness. It is clear you don't have light in you.

Humble yourself so you can be made free from your immorality and lying spirits.

Now i see how ignorant you are, comfortably living the dream of satan your father.

I don't seek to have a personal relationship, i have one already. I am a Servant of Christ. Religious people believe you must worship in a place, they ignorantly walk in darkness, tho they have a form of godliness and they profess self righteouness. My conviction is beyond that type of religion, tho i go to church. There is a place called zion where men must ascend to, where the spirit of matyrdom can come upon a man like the patriachs , the true worshippers must appear there, where mystries and ordinances of the Great one is unveiled, it is not a physical structure. It is a function of the heart posture and the workings of the holy spirit in a man which will gain man ascendancy.

You are yielded to satan, i can see how reknowned he is in your life. Your dedication to false doctrines of seducing spirits have blinded the eyes and ears of your heart so you can never see and understand the glorious light of the gospel which is the image of the glory of christ Jesus. May the Lord deliver you.

You could be the answer to your generation to save them from the darkness that has plagued and conquered men via the entertainments and luxuries of the world, but you my friend have decided to be a tool and a pioneer of dark mystries . You have also been enslaved by the darkness and addictions that have plagued this generation because you are void of light and full of fleshly appetites that lure you to deep immorality.

There are so many destinies whose candle are unlit but by your enlightenment and encounter with Christ you can lighten their candles. When will you arise , o mortal, when will you ascend? Are you the one to come or we should expect another?

Now what makes you feel that the epistle you typed below should be my cup of coffee?

GodIsDead:
Jesus Christ and Lucifer...

The church wants you to believe that they're enemies, but what if they were actually the same? Not only does the Bible itself contain strong evidence towards this, but the evidence also exists in many secret gospels and Christian books that were banned and destroyed by the Church.

Now, why did the Church destroy these so-called "blasphemous" and "heretical" books? Because of what they revealed!

Many of them claimed to contain the secret truth. Could Jesus, the self proclaimed "Light of the World" and "Morning Star" be the same as Lucifer, whose name in Latin literally means "Light Bringer" and "Morning Star"? And could they have the same mission - to set humanity free and ultimately overthrow God?

---

I myself used to be a Christian when I was very young and I was raised in a strict Christian household and I remember being taught that Lucifer was absolutely evil, and most people imagine Lucifer as a dark, evil, satanic being with horns. But did you know the Bible actually describes Lucifer as having originated in heaven as a powerful angel of light?

In the Book of Ezekiel, Lucifer is described as powerful, beautiful and wise, but then according to the Bible, Lucifer became corrupt and then led a revolution in Heaven against God. But why? Why did Lucifer revolt against God? Understanding Lucifer's motivation for starting the war in Heaven is key to understanding how Lucifer and Jesus are the same.

Before we unravel the mystery of this war in Heaven, let's take a closer look at the connection between Jesus, Lucifer, and Light. Because the connection to Light is critical and Jesus himself claims to be the "Light of the World" twice:

(1) John 8 v 12: Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

(2) John 9 vs 5: As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

Also, in Revelations 22 vs 16, Jesus identifies himself as the Morning Star: I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

Jesus is self described as a Bringer of Light to the world, and the Morning Star. And as I said earlier, Lucifer is a latin name which means "Light Bringer". And in Isaiah 14 vs 12 - a verse that many Bible scholars believe describes Lucifer, identifies him as the Morning Star:

Isaiah 14 vs 12: How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!

Now it's clear that both Christ and Lucifer are Light Bringers and are identified as "The Morning Star". But a closer look at Isaiah 14 vs 12 reveals more critical information.

Notice that Lucifer is also identified as the Son of the Dawn or originated in Heaven and was then cast down to earth. Both Christ and Lucifer are described as powerful beings, related to light, that originated in Heaven before arriving to Earth. And in mainstream Christianity, Jesus is portrayed as the Son of God sent from Heaven to Earth to save humanity, while Lucifer is portrayed as the "Son of the Dawn", having falling to Earth from Heaven after starting a revolution in Heaven and attempting to overthrow God. But couldn't these two stories actually be intertwined? Could they be the same? What exactly is Jesus trying to save humanity from? To understand the connection, we have to look deeper at Lucifer's attempt to overthrow God.

According to the Bible, specifically Ezekiel, Lucifer wanted to become God. When the revolution against God failed and Lucifer was cast to Earth, something seemingly strange happened: Lucifer began to tell humanity that they could become God, and this happens in the Garden of Eden.

According to the Bible, the first humans, Adam and Eve lived in the garden where God had placed two important trees: 1) The Tree of Life, and 2) The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. God told Adam he could eat from every tree, except the Tree of Knowledge:

And the Lord God commanded him, "You may eat freely from every tree of the garden, but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for on the day that you eat of it, you will surely die."

Now, doesn't it seem a little strange that God would make knowledge forbidden? That detail is going to be important in just a minute.

According to mainstream Christianity, Lucifer was in the Garden of Eden and in the form of a serpent, told Eve she could become like God:

The serpent said to the woman, "Did God really say you must not eat from any tree in the garden?". The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat from the trees in the garden. But God did say we must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, you must not touch it or we will surely die". "You will not certainly die", the serpent said to the woman, "for God knows that when you eat from it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil".

Of course they ate the fruit and did not die, but could they become like God?

Let's look at this deeper. The Bible views Lucifer as a being who desires to be God and tells humanity that they can be like God. The question is, has Jesus ever done the same?:

John 10 vs 33-34: 33 “We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.” 34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods”"

That verse comes from the Gospel of John from the Bible

.......but did you know there is a SECRET book of John? [google the lost books of the Bible or the gnostic codices found in Nag Hammadi in Egypt]

What I'm about to show you is absolutely incredible. The secret book of John (or the Apocryphon of John) is a book that claims to contain secret information, and this secret information was so blasphemous that it was declared a heresy and banned by the Church. The secret book of John revealed that it was Jesus in the garden that caused Adam and Eve to eat from the forbidden Tree of Knowledge!

"Jesus said, "as for the tree called the knowledge of good and evil. It is the wisdom of the light they commanded them not to eat from it. However, I caused them to eat".
- The Apocryphon of John

The connection between Christ and Lucifer here is crystal clear and you can see why this made the church so angry, but it's about to get even more intense. Here, we have another clear connection between Jesus and Lucifer, as well as with light. Then you might be wondering, why did Jesus cause them to eat from the Tree of Knowledge and go against God's command? That brings us to our next connection. Because like Lucifer, Jesus wants to overthrow God! Now, does that sound crazy? Well get ready, because there's a mountain of evidence that says just that!

According to the Secret Gospel of John, God (Yahweh) is NOT the true God at all! He's a liar and deceiver. The true God is actually a pure divine mind that exists in, and emanates a realm of light called The Pleroma, and all things, all being, all creation including us are pieces and part of the "Divine Mind". The God of the Bible, however, is an evil being of chaos and darkness, a false pretender god. You might call him the "Shadow of Light". This evil God created a malformed realm of matter and trapped souls of light into bodies in order to enslave humanity. You see, according to the Secret Book of John, we're all parts of the Divine Mind and the realm of pure light, and that means we're all divine. We are the TRUE God, but the evil God of the Bible took pieces of the Divine Mind, which is what we are, and trapped us in physical bodies as prisons and caused us to forget our true nature, to limit our power and so that we would worship him. And this is all described in the Secret Book of John.

The Secret Book of John says: [the creator gods] demonic forces envied the man, for his understanding was far greater than that of those who had created him and greater than that of the chief ruler himself. When they realized that he shone with light, they took him and cast him down into the lowest depths of the material world. They intended to make him anew. This time from earth, water, fire and wind. Which are matter, darkness, desire. The artificial spirit. This all became a tomb. A new kind of body. They enchained him in forgetfulness. Made him subject to dying."

And the Secret Book of John is far from the only book to reveal that the God of the Bible is an evil being. There are MANY other secret books that the Church banned that say exactly that. In the Apocalypse of Adam, Adam tells his son Seth that he and Eve were originally one divine being that evil God fractured and trapped in matter.

Adam said, "and we resembled the great eternal angels, for we were higher than the god who had created us. Then God, the ruler of the aeons and the powers, divided us in wrath, and we served him in fear and slavery."
- The Apocalypse of Adam

The evil God caused Adam and Eve to forget their divine origin. And he knew that if they ate from the Tree of Knowledge, they would begin to remember what they truly are. This is why he made it forbidden and said they would die if they ate from it. But in the Bible, the serpent (or Lucifer) tells them they won't die, but they will become like God. Now, in the Secret Book of John, Jesus says that he is the one that causes them to eat so that they will wake up from sleep-death and be filled with the wisdom of the divine light. According to many of the books banned by the Church, Jesus Christ is NOT the son of the evil creator god (Yahweh). He's the son of the true God, meaning that he's one of the emanations or forms of the true God as we all are. But we forgot our divine nature. He (Jesus) is a messenger from the true God, the Divine Mind. The realm of pure light. You might even call him the "Son of Light", and his mission is to help humanity come to self knowledge that they are divine and escape the evil creator God (Yahweh). Jesus is the Light Bringer sent to get humanity to realize that they are the TRUE GOD and to end the rule of the evil creator God.

Now, does that sound familiar?

This is extremely close to the Bible's description of Lucifer, the Morning Star and Light Bringer, the "Son of the Dawn", or "Son of Light", that desired to overthrow the God of the Bible, and bring humanity the message that they could be like God if they ate from knowledge.

Could it be that Lucifer is actually the good guy here, and the church just wants to portray anything and anyone that says you are god as evil? So they can maintain their power?

In another banned gospel, the Gospel of Thomas, Jesus reveals we come from the realm of living light and are the true sons of God:

Jesus said, "If they ask you 'Where are you from' reply to them 'We have come from the place where light is produced from itself. It came and revealed itself in their image'. When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living father."
- The Gospel of Thomas

Now, even if you want to discount the books banned by the Church and go strictly by what's in the Bible, you have to explain why there is such a huge difference between the Old Testament God and Jesus Christ of the New Testament. The God of the Bible is a jealous, vindictive, war machine, even in terms of what's described in the Bible.

1. He drowns the entire world in the flood described in the Book of Genesis.

2. He accepts Jephthah's daughter as a burnt virgin sacrifice.

3. He has all the male first born children and animals in Egypt killed to intimidate the Pharoah.

He is obsessed with death and violence. And remember, all that comes from the Bible itself, not the banned books. But Jesus is the complete opposite. Jesus preaches a message of love and forgiveness. In fact, he directly contradicts what God said in the Old Testament!

You have heard that it was said "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." But I say to you, if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.
- Matthew 5 vs 38-39

The difference between the God of the Old Testament and Jesus Christ is SO drastic - the exact opposite of each other, that many early Christians and groups came to the conclusion that the God of the Old Testament was NOT the true God. Many of them concluded that he was outright evil! Like the Marcion, Sethian and Cainite Christians. And others like the Valentinians believed that he was a lesser god.

There are so many early Christian groups that came to this conclusion: the Naassenes, the Ophites, the Marcosians, the Valentinians, the Severians, the Marcellians, the Adamites, the Cerinthians, the Carpocratians, the Cainites, the Stratiotici, the Borborites, the Barbeliotae, the Archontics, the Simonians, the Justinians, the Colarbasians, the Apelliacos, the Marcionites, the Cerdonians, the Valesians, the Sethians, the Basilideans..........

It wasn't until the Church established orthodoxy in Rome, and many books were banned, destroyed, and so-called "heretics" arrested, that this view was all but destroyed, stamped out, eliminated. In fact, in another "heretical" gospel, the Gospel of Judas, Jesus outright says that the twelve disciples worship an evil God, that they have no idea who Jesus is, and will lead all their followers astray!

The disciples said to him, "Master, why are you laughing at our prayer?" He answered and said to them, "I'm not laughing at you. You're not doing this because you want to but because through this, your God will be praised." They said, "Master, you are the Son of our God!" Jesus said to them, "How do you know me? Truly I say to you, no generation of the people among you will know me."
- The Gospel of Judas

The disciples tell Jesus about a vision that they've had, that they see people sacrificing animals, and children and committing murder. Jesus then tells them that their vision represents the evil things they will do, the false god that they serve, and the people that they'll lead astray.

Jesus said to them, "You're the ones receiving the offerings on the altar you've seen. That's the God you serve, and you're the twelve people you've seen. And the animals you saw brought in to be sacrificed are the crowd you lead astray."
- The Gospel of Judas

According to the Gospel of Judas, Jesus is making it clear that the disciples have NO idea who he truly is, and that they'll lead the world astray. In other words, what will eventually become mainstream Christianity is wrong! Because what will become mainstream Christianity relies heavily on the testimony of the disciples. And they were absolutely wrong about who God is and who Jesus really is, going so far as to get it completely backwards

So who or what is the true God and who is Jesus? Jesus takes Judas aside and reveals secret knowledge:

"Jesus said, "Come and I'll teach you about the mysteries that no human will see, because there exists a great and boundless realm whose horizons no angelic generation has seen, in which is a great Invisible Spirt, which no angelic eye has ever seen, no heart has ever comprehended, and it's never been called by any name."

And a luminous cloud appeared there. And he [the Spirit] said, "Let an angel come into being to attend me." And a great angel, the Self-Begotten, the God of the Light, emerged from the cloud. And he said, "Let a luminous realm come into being" and it came into being. And that's how he created the rest of the realms of light."
- The Gospel of Judas

Jesus is revealing to Judas that the true God is a luminous Divine Mind and generated a realm of light. Jesus, the Light of the World, and self proclaimed Morning Star, is not the son of the evil creator God, but comes from the realm of divine light. You might even call him the "Son of Light" like Lucifer the Light Bringer's title: the "Son of the Dawn". Looking at what the Bible says, we can clearly see the connection between Jesus and Lucifer in the form of light

1. JESUS CHRIST ==> Light of the World; LUCIFER ==> Light Bringer

2. JESUS CHRIST ==> The Morning Star; LUCIFER ==> The Morning Star

3. JESUS CHRIST ==> Says humans can be like God; LUCIFER ==> Says humans can be like God

4. JESUS CHRIST ==> Caused Eve to eat from the tree (Apocryphon of John); LUCIFER ==> Caused Eve to eat from the tree

5. JESUS CHRIST ==> Wants to end the creator God's rule; LUCIFER ==> Wants to overthrow God

6. JESUS CHRIST ==> Son of God/Light; LUCIFER ==> Son of the Dawn/Light

In fact, the vast majority of the Gospel of Thomas is Jesus communicating to the reader that they are beings of light and can become God if they look within and realize their divinity.

Looking at all this evidence, what do YOU believe?

Do you believe that Jesus Christ and Lucifer are in fact the same being, and that mainstream Christianity twisted their interpretation of Jesus and made Lucifer into a villain, in order to make "being like God" seem evil?

Or do you believe in the standard interpretation?

Or do you believe something else entirely?

I'll tell you my position:

Lucifer and Christ, they're archetypes. They're symbols. But they're the same archetype. In other words, Lucifer and Christ both represent the idea of someone with knowledge of what reality truly is, choosing to share that knowledge with humanity, so humanity can become divine. It's the archetype of the Illuminated Liberator - someone who has truly achieved a higher consciousness that has devoted their lives to liberating humanity through wisdom. That is what Lucifer is. That is what Christ is. They are the same archetype. Those that do that: they are Lucifer, and they are Christ.

The message is: Don't worship God. Become God.

And this is of course, the complete opposite of how Christ is depicted in mainstream Christianity, and much closer to how they portray Lucifer, but they make it seem evil.

After all, what are you as a JW doing online, conversing and becoming "unevenly yoked with unbelievers" ? Isn't that against one of your ever-changing doctrines from your holy 8 men in New York? Do yourself a favor, get your hands dirty and do your own research - but you won't hear.

When we ask you to calm down and learn your arrogance won't allow you!

Now ask yourself what a right thinking person will read all those stuff for without anything to gain as benefits afterwards?
Don't you think it's a waste of time?
For your information, research are meaningless when you can't come up with any practical benefits.
Go and observe the insanes in your neighbourhood you will find out that they're great researchers working really hard on toiletries, rags, wornout shoes and other stuffs they picked up from garbages but why aren't you joining them in their GREAT research?
Well because you're sure nothing tangible will come out of it. The same goes with your useless researches that's of no practical benefits!

Stop projecting your frustrations on me nau
I already told you that I don't need your presence here. You're the one who keeps hovering over my mentions like a scorned housewife
I would gladly speak directly to your God except he's too much of a pussy to actually show himself. Is your God suffering from agoraphobia perhaps? Is he shy? He seems to have anti-social tendencies sha - that one is 100% confirmed in your holy storybook

Real intellectuals don't ask of the teacher who taught a doctor medicine rather they go for treatment when they're sick.
So if you know you're OK with what you have there's no need telling others they're missing something yet there's no gain in what you feel you have!
It's the question that called my attention but when you've changed it i told you i don't need it, it's you who changed the topic to freedom yet there's no benefit in your so called FREEDOM!

GodIsDead:
B-but you said you don't practice religion

Oh I see, just another dumbo Christian twisting basic concepts to suit his delusions



You're a slave to your God, and I don't envy you one bit



Here we go....



Your entire worldview is derived from your religion. Nice word salads, but sorry, not buying. I already had breakfast

Hahaha , you have been slain...You are a clown in babylon, obviously . No need for further utterance. Take heed lest you fall. You think you were just created to ride a car and live a flashly lifestyle? Hahaha.. I thank God for the very few elect who have conquered the darkness of this age by the aid of the Holy spirit and the grace that bringeth salvation which has appeared to all men, woe to your kind who live the dream of satan and don't know the will of God.

Bros, this analogy no work!

According to your doctrine, your God is infinitely powerful and good. The teacher in your trite analogy is none of the above. So your illustration is false. Your God knows wants everyone to believe in him and he knows exactly what to do to make me believe in him.

Sing another sad song

GodIsDead:
"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways", declares the Lord. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts."
- Isaiah 55 vs 8-9

That verse sounds like it's talking of God's thoughts, not God's origins. Another Christian twisting scripture. What else is new? Sing me another sad song

When you quote a scripture you need the PRACTICAL APPLICATION of what you quoted Sir!
That verse simply means anyone who wants to know God's reason for doing something need to learn from him {Proverbs 2:1-5} otherwise your reasoning will make you feel God shouldn't have done it that way, whereas His thoughts are far far higher than yours.

GodIsDead:
Enjoy your benefits then nau, who is dragging your benefits with you? Hehehehe

That simplifies the whole matter because i pity you as you're loosing out great benefits that anyone could have while you're also pitying me but you can't prove that i'm loosing anything from your end!

GodIsDead:
Whoever said it was?

Then you shouldn't have asked me to waste my precious time reading it nah!

GodIsDead:
I've modified the topic. Now read the entire post and have a nice day

There you go again with your presumptuous attitude!
Why not ask me what my own God says?
But NO, you want play and at the same time be the referee!

Just listen to yourself. You failed to refute a single thing in the OP and all you've done since then is exhibit the typical passive agressiveness of Christians when the truth don choke them - praying for somebody and cursing that person at the same time

I don't consider you to be anything other than a clown. The only thing you've slain is the remnant of your brain cells that survived your childhood indoctrination. You've lost all hope. You know nothing about the history of Christianity. You know nothing about how the Bible was compiled. You have sacrificed your brain at the altar of falsehood, living a life of pretense, ignorance, and cognitive dissonance. As I said earlier I don't envy you. I can only hope that one day, you come to acquire true knowledge and transcend above the prison you've been trapped in. For now, continue to wallow in mud of your wilful ignorance

LordReed:
You have started with your daydreams again.

You only quote me when you're confused but when you see logical reasoning you always disappear!

GodIsDead:
Gibberish from a religious loonie. Even if I were enslaved to my body (LOL), at least my body is real...

See! You really took some really bad weed else you would have remembered that you thought and said you were free but now you say "YOU ARE A SLAVE"!

You know nothing boy!

You are pained. My apologies.

WOW! I never noticed the underlined!
So Mr FREEDOM is a SLAVE to his body but he's struggling to free others who are trying to break free from enslavement to the body!

Who said atheists have working brains?

And if this one catches someone raping his daughter now he wouldn't pity such a person for succumbing to the desires of his flesh o!
