This is something every Christian should know

[jennifer_bloom]

In the bible Jesus said many would eat in the feast of God with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob

But the sons of the kingdom would be cast outside with weeping and gnashing of teeth

The question you should ask every religious person is whether they are children of God or children of religion

A child of the Heavenly Father is loving and compassionate and serves God out of gratitude and respect

A child of the kingdom who is not a child of God serves God for money and status and recognition and social comfort

When you act like the kingdom of Gods rules and normals is more important than the loving kindness of God towards all humans whether religious or not religious

Than you will be default become a child of religious culture and not a child of compassion and kindness

One skill every Christian should build is that of compassionate tolerance and patient listening

I judged a lady last week for saying children need to be exposed to bad people to develop conflict resolution skills

I thought only an idiot would think harmful treatment is superior to good treatment in moulding the character of children

But then it occurred to me she might be suggesting children need to find inner boundaries and trained coping mechanisms to negative output

Rather than my initial belief she was suggesting there was any benefit in being exposed to unhealthy social behaviours in moulding the heart and tolerance of the child

Even though that was the words she used she may have tried to express healthy ideas using erroneous language or faulty verbal logic and imperfect language composition to communicate that positive belief

This is one example of how healthy and compassionate listening can remove unnecessary and imaginary offences

Even Jesus got angry

Even God gets angry

The problem with those who lack patience is they engage in unnecessary and unproductive anger out of a desire to fuel their anger or their habitual lifestyle

Compassionate listening and patient interpretation cleans your religion and makes it a good thing and not a bad thing

Didn't Jesus find it suspicious that it was called the last supper?
And if Mary didn't have sex doesn't that mean someone raped her (like god or something) or not she would of had to have sex to be pregnant.
And I'm still unsure about putting every single animal in the world in one boat, What did they feed the lion's?

[Opinion Owner]

You are telling me that God someone from the sky, an immortal being, with powers created earth by the touch of his finger... Do you not see anything fishy about that at all?

[jennifer_bloom]

If your parents created you why is it hard to believe that somebody created your parents? I struggled with the same questions as you but I no longer doubt Gods existence.

[Opinion Owner]

Because they had sex, everyone had sex until I was born! Evaluation made that happen, The big bang made evaluation happen and created this world not some guy in the sky!
And let's say if God does exist why would he put people on earth like me and billions of others who don't believe him at all. If God did exist that means he created the virus going around and I don't know killed his son, Jesus!

[jasco]

Dear opinion owner he put u here for trial and error

[rochiskere]

I think the name "the last supper" was after everything happened, or maybe Jesus knew what his mission was in earth (to free us from our sins), so he knew how he was going to die, that's why he makes it so special. also, I think Mary knew she was having jesus, the angel came and told her, but I don't recall if before or after. and the part of the animals, honestly I do not know

[Opinion Owner]

If God put me on the this earth for trial and error (which he didn't evaluation did) doesn't that seem kind of sick to you?
Someone creates your life just to fuck with it and I don't know start a global pandemic killing millions including total innocent people. Does this not seem made up to you jasco. Does this not say anything about god that he's a horrible thing, in my eyes him making all these terrible things just to fuck with people makes him just as bad or worse then as Satan.

We can't trust a fairy tale that was 1200 and 165 BC. Here's some things that I've read in the Bible that have to be fake making the Bible fake and God fake:

Noah had three sons when he was 500 years old.

God kills everything to make the world less violent?
That's basically saying "I don't like how you are expressing your feelings so I'm going to kill everyone on earth."

50,00-millions of animals boarded Noah's Ark on the same day.

God enslaves Jews (his chosen people) for 400 years.

The whole world came to Egypt to buy corn from Joseph: Here's a real quote from the Bible: All countries came into Egypt to Joseph for corn."
So The Chinese, Indigenous Australians all came to buy grain.

There are literally a 100 more of these plot holes, it's like finding a plot whole in star wars, because it's not real.

[jasco]

Well like I said trail and error everything is a test and the world before was far more violent then today so it's a good thing he did that

[Opinion Owner]

God's not real, he's a comfort thing, he's something people made to figure out how the world started and now when we actually have evidence to get rid of god and how the big bang theory created the world people are still believing that some guy from the sky created the world, this huge world in 7 days.
Need I remind you there is a verse in the Bible where good sends a bear to kill 2 children because they made fun of the guy with the bald head.

[jennifer_bloom]

I’m not God so sometimes my knowledge is limited but I think there are three types of people who go to Heaven worshipers and humanitarians and labour’s and that God is more concerned with your ability to believe in his values like love and honesty and less in your ability to believe in theology like flying chariots or sacred fires. Also I think the reason life is sometimes horrible on earth is that Gods biggest concern is you going to heaven forever and not so much what you had for dinner last night / it’s also possible he allows certain fractures of unfairness to victims to encourage the healthy and safe majority to pursue and seek him more.

[jennifer_bloom]

I interpret the bible as allegory and suggestive and situationally signifying rather than context sensitive to culture or premodern social realities to me the 42 is a symbol for expressiveness while the bald head represents social vulnerability and God is trying to suggest through this real or fabricated sacrificial story that bullying will not be tolerated by anybody - not even children when the victim is an adult / that people of all ages will be held accountable if they bully others or mock the vulnerable or unsocialized cultural deviant - as for the 7 days I believe they symbolize seven layers of creation or seven glories of reality and as for the flood - I believe it was just a small microscopic model for the worlds creatures and not the actual quantity since the flood only had to effect the small parts of the world that was populated

Evolution*

[jahaims]

Your first problem is trying to use logic on people who believe in magic.

[Opinion Owner]

Doesn't logic seem more reliable than a book that was written somewhere in between 1200 - 165 BC? Doesn't the fact that evolution has been proven to be real not stump anyone's mind, not make anyone think- "Hey maybe God isn't real, and maybe science is telling the truth."

[jennifer_bloom]

I believe God has proven His existence to me and believing in God gives me endless hope and purpose and keeps me focused even when things don’t look perfect in my life to the outside world - like if your dog loves you - why get rid of it? If your boyfriend treats you well - why break up with him? That’s how I view God.

[codyccc]

Its all 100% complete bull shit

[KittyMilk]

The children of God are still cast outside
