◊ Weezer ◊ Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 So you are, "scared for the lemmings." That is exactly what I would call you. And I was one for almost 40 years, until the inconsistencies led me to research the origin of all religions. Christianity is but one of many "truths." If you are interested in my findings, read my TESTIMONY in that section. The title is, TRUTH, A GRADUAL AWAKENING. And If you are interested in truth, there are many other good stories there. I read your signature/post script. My "de-conversion" was not due to not knowing the bible. I read it, studied it for years, and graduated from a christian college. The more I studied, the more inconsistant it became. Archaic, inconsistant myths with changing messages, especially between old and new testament. And I wouldn't trust anything coming down through the Catholic church to be the inerrant word of god. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus died for humankind. Jesus was never tempted SPECIFICALLY to take meth or have female body parts molested by a male, yet He was tempted in all points like we (male & female) are. He was tempted to eat the bread that the devil suggested He conjure up. It's basically the same type of temptation that the meth addict or user has, His weak flesh wanted it but Jesus did not succumb to the devil's temptation. I say Jesus' temptation was even greater, food is NECESSARY, meth isn't. It was the temptation of the lust of the flesh. Jesus was stripped naked and manhandled, humiliated, His dignity taken away. He can identify with the molested woman. Both men and women have estrogen and testosterone in them. God has female and male attributes that makes Him nurturing, compassionate, just, strong etc. He created us in His image, to be like God we should have both male and female attributes that make us love Him and each other. So you see, the temptation or test may not be as specific, like stealing a Jaguar (car) but Jesus understands. He created us in his sinful image?

WalterP Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 So which Christian will break first? Will Thumbelina answer my question and tell us if she really is a Seventh Day Adventist? Or will Edgarcito answer the RedneckProf and tell us if heaven exists or not? My money's on Thumbelina. Because all she has to do is truthfully reveal something that she knows for a fact. Walter.

sdelsolray Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Poster Thumbelina has been asked that question often in the past, perhaps a dozen times. She has failed to answer it. Remember, Thumbelina is special, at least according to Thumbelina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am scared for the lemmings actually, caring about their eternal Destiny is what the bible instructs believers to do. Yeah, you may see me as a lemming & it's your choice .The belief in an afterlife offers hope, unlike atheistic beliefs that offer nothing but this SHORT life. I tried to read your testimony but couldn't open it up, maybe the moderators can help you post it without it being an attached file? I was not painting all ex Christians with the same brush, I know there are some who did study the Word & spent years in the faith. However, there are some lions who needed to study more before leaving Jesus & some of them roar the loudest lol. I don't mean to minimize the experiences of those who studied. I usually banter with the lions in the den, they're kind of impish/mischievous . I do that while praying they can find their way back to Jesus again. This forum helps to do that in a non intrusive way, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? What would be so terrible about no longer existing? You didn't exist before you were born and never longed for anything when you didn't exist. The same will be true when you cease to exist once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, food for thought. Churches do seem to have more women than men. The OP suggested that since Jesus was male He would identify with men, so why does more women tend to be attracted to Christianity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midniterider Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Just now, Thumbelina said: What was the CONTEXT for Paul instructing those women to be silent? Context....the Christian's 'get-out-of-scripture-free' card. I'm sure the context is whatever you decide it should be in order to allow you to continue to violate 1 Tim 2:11-12.
