    Some Questions On Christianity

    Wouldn't this thread work better as a debate?

    What does it mean to "deny" Jesus, according to the NT?

    Precisely. A little poison may even do it some good. Afterlife beliefs help a lot of people. But too much of that stuff poisons you.

    What does it mean to "deny" Jesus, according to the NT?

    This is why some say religion is poison. And, in some ways, it is. But let's remember one of the most important rules of toxicology: there is no poison, only dose.

    The creator always superior to the creation?

    It's not about the entity. For God, it's the same whether you worship or not. Worship is for humans who can benefit from it.

    Gnostic Christians

    Also, the idea that salvation comes through knowledge (rather than faith) is a brilliant one.

    So I was reading a thread in which you called this place, not "Religious Education Forums", but "ReligiousGettin'SkooledForums". Seems pretty accurate, man.

    The creator always superior to the creation?

    Creator? Creation? What's that? Seems to me like some pretty artificial human constructs.

    Should we deny things just because they are subjectively depressing?

    "Pleroma" meaning "fullness of divinity", for everyone who is unfamiliar with this Gnostic/Christian term.

    Abrahamic faiths and bigotry

    Totally makes for way more entertaining movies.

    Should we deny things just because they are subjectively depressing?

    Embracing death is proper, but why would you embrace your fear of it? Why would you not try to cast that aside?

    Is smoking a sin?

    Bro, it's what comes out of your mouth that defiles you, not what goes into it. That being said, smoking is pretty bad for you and it's addictive. It probably doesn't offend God, but its negative consequences are punishment enough.

    Little statements, BIG wisdom

    Sounds like something from Pistis Sophia.

    Some Questions On Christianity

    This is actually fairly similar to Islamic teaching, F0uad, in which Jesus did not die, but it only appeared so (though Islamic teachings about this are varied, are they not?); to the average onlooker, it would appear that Jesus "died" because his body would have stopped functioning. But the...

    Abrahamic faiths and bigotry

    Yes, Abrahamics are horrible bigots because of their religion and all others are perfect little angels. On the off-chance that one of these "others" is a bigot, it has nothing to do with their religion. Nope, no way. But Abrahamics? Yeah, dude, their religion totally makes them think and do bad...

    Is Richard Dawkins a good scientist?

    He's an excellent scientist! Yeah, memetics can come under fair criticism... but the gene-centred view of evolution makes more sense than pretty much anything else out there.

    the right religion

    So, God spoke to you? Are you making a claim of prophecy here? This is a rather serious claim, you know.

    Your opinion is solicited on the following piece of artwork

    Can you post a bigger picture of this painting? I can't really make out what's going on here.

    Gnostic Christians

    Gnosticism is cool. Yes, there are some Gnostic beliefs I have trouble with but the great part is that there isn't even a definitive list of Gnostic beliefs to begin with. It's a shame Gnostics were persecuted. Their semi-destruction is a huge loss for Christian history.
