Churchianity is the Antichrist

[Questioning]

In your opinion

No. Christ said the meek (Christians) would inherit the ____________!

 

[Kathryn]

Here's what I thought as a child about the rapture. Every time I couldn't find my parents, I'd be thinking, "Crap. I got something wrong." It was a very long time before I realized that I believe that God isn't about tricking people, and that a whole lot of people are going to be very surprised one day.

Putting your own words and fill in the blank wow, just wow.

Let me guess, is it bus stop.

If you cannot provide evidence of your claims then you should include a rider to show it is your opinion.

I've read 3, all different, reading them and understanding what they say was what turned me atheist.

The bible is not evidence, is is a series of books with very little independent evidence to back them up

Then you didn't read any reliable ones.

@Questioning for somebody with the word "question" in their username you sure do use a lot of exclamation points.

That's exactly what i expected, so what do you recommend?

The RSV (But it removes God's Name), and the New World Translation.
INTENSIVE research have proven this to me.
The oldest copies, the study of the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Koine Greek.

Controversial, too general, one size fits all bible. Basically a copy the kjv and d-r.

 

[Questioning]

The previous NWT (not the current one) fits the bill.

 

[metis]

I wish some people who identify as being Christian would act more like they really are one.

 

[Kathryn]

How would you characterize your beliefs, @Questioning? Also, the Bible is a collection of many books by many different authors. It's just not that hard to read overall.

 

[Questioning]

I've learned to discard church beliefs, and turn to God to guide me. And He HAS. I just don't live up to His standards all the time!
What about YOUR'S?

 

[Kathryn]

It fits me. I don't proselytize much because to me the Church is what fits ME, not necessarily other people. Though I will be the first to give my reasons for inner joy. I don't look at most other people and think good or bad. I just think "searching." As I always am. Though at age 62 I think I've found what works best for me.

(I'm 73) Don't you want to know the TRUE God?
