Does the idea of Jesus sacrificing himself make sense from a jewish theological perspective? I personally don't think the idea of a god man sacrificing himself to himself for things he put in us himself makes no sense but that that is beside the point. Can a man die for another man's or indeed...
I was watching videos on various pagan traditions and there was a whole series of videos from different content creators on their matron and patron deities. People were more or less talking about having mother and father figure deities. They also talked about how they came to those deities as...
The God of Judaism is more or less the inspiration or supposed to be the same god the Christians and muslims worship. See here is the thing that gets me about that. Why would God randomly start new religions?
Why is Christianity so different to Judaism?
Why would god allow 3 new religions to...
To someone who likes evidence of something before he or she believes in something it's almost impossible to justify spiritual experience within their own life.
Take Jesus for instance, give him all his miracles, give him all his works from the gospel and so on. Would this prove the god he spoke...
Why do you think the Jews rejected Jesus? The new testament seems to suggest the jews who rejected Jesus were just arrogant but i'm not sure I buy that.
I've gotten so tired of not hearing arguments from muslims when I talk to them. Or at least arguments that aren't just straight up propaganda that anyone with eyes could easily see through so here. Please Muslims try to demonstrate that Islam is true .
Don't just say "Muhammad was such a good...
I’ve often wondered why monotheism isn’t the first form of religion we see historically if things like christianity are true. You would think if God only wanted us to worship him and would punish us otherwise he’d be sure to be the very first spiritual concept humans understood.
Of course...
The rejection of Islam.
Over the years that I have left Islam my mind has become more and more convinced that Islam is a downright fabrication. In fact I have come to regard it as one of the greatest cons in the history of man. On par with Mormonism when it comes to how downright silly the...
If you believed that the truth of the universe was that it was meaningless and that human life was a mere accident is this a good enough reason to try and adopt a different set of beliefs? Is It enough of a reason that someone who thinks all this is depressing and that existing would at least be...
So in my bible reading I was reminded of a few reasons I'm not a super big fan of some of the things Jesus said. OR well just about any of it really.
27 "You have heard that it was said,
'You shall not commit adultery;'
28 but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a
woman to lust after her has...
Lets say the Exodus didn't happen, or Genesis is entirely made up. Not a single instance in these books happened. Do we toss out the whole thing? can there still be spiritual truth in a book full of myths?
Or maybe say it turns out the Jesus of the bible never existed, is there still worth in...
So the idea here was to have a little prayer experiment to determine whether or not the feeling I have gotten of peace after praying is just a placebo. This is not a definitive test but it is certainly a beginning. Right off the bat it should be stated that we won’t be praying for any specific...
I've just recently finished going through the god delusion by Richard Dawkins. Honestly I've never liked Dawkins and I've found his writing style to be almost unbearable. So we're looking for a change of pace.
My intention is to read through the entire Christian bible in either 7 or 10 days. I...
What I mean is could someone like me who doesn't believe in any sort of supernatural entity whether it be a ghost or God gain faith by praying? How exactly would that work?
I've been thinking about this topic a bit lately. Well to be more specific the topic of homosexuality within the Abrahamic tradition. As if it was meant to be taken as a sign I found this video.
I will caution you there is some strong language in this video.
You could argue that many Abrahamic...
Islam is now pretty much impossible to separate from the culture of the people who practice it. What I mean by that is there are plenty of practices in Islam that have no place in the Quran and debatably a place in hadith that Muslims carry out everyday.
One of these things is the head...
Hi, I’m new around here and i’ve decided I would share my story with you all. If you don’t want to read the whole thing and just say hello that works as well. I’ve chosen this site to share my story and hopefully engage in some interesting discussion.
My religious history is a bit of an odd...
