I'm Not a Tolerant Person

[IndigoChild5559]

They have been in Africa for years. Yet millions of children starve to death, because they are false religions. A single teaching( Matthew 6:33) from Jesus applied by parents would have prevented those deaths. Yet those religions do not bother teaching Jesus truth, they teach dogma.
At Matt 6 Jesus promises-sustenance, covering, spirituality would be given from his Father if needed if they did Matthew 6:33-- So those teachers fail Jesus and all who listen to them. They are not christian as they claim.

Children starve in Africa because the governments are corrupt dictatorships that rob the people blind and keep them in poverty. We cannot send food aid to Africa without it begin confiscated by these corrupt governments and sold on the black market. It has nothing to do with the growth of Christianity in Africa.

My point still stands. Catholics use the Bible to justify their teachings, as do Baptists, Mormons, Pentacostals, Methodists, and Jehovah's Witnesses. *shrug*

The trinitys own translations prove them false. The teachings of Jesus prove them false. It takes believing Jesus over dogmas.
Jesus truth-John 17:3-in every translation on earth-The one who sent him( Father-John 5:30) is THE ONLY TRUE GOD. They outright refuse to believe over dogmas taught in the schools of men because of The error found at John 1:1-- The greek lexicon did not call the word Ho Theos in the last line as it called the true God in the 2nd line and many other spots in the NT, plain theos was in the last line= a god small g. The religion that came out of Romes own translating proves they are not Gods or his sons. No one had a clue when they translated of the errors translated in. there are manyuntil history could be studied and certain Hebrew and Greek words and there real meanings were know, .

error-In the Hebrew language the statement- i am that i am is non existent in the OT, I will be what i will be is correct. In the Hebrew language-Elohim is not a name itsa word with various meanings, and never plural for the true God, only false gods.
In the NT the greek word used for worship to Jesus has at least 5 different meanings from Greek to english-Worship to God, obesiance to a king-Obesiance is the correct usage for Gods appointed king.( Daniel 7:13-15) If Jesus were God he would have been king allready. But then 1 Corinthians 15:24-28--Jesus must hand back the kingdom to his God and Father and subject himself--2 facts found out here--1) God does not have a God--2) God is in subjection to no one.

Jesus promised that his Father would provide all 3-sustenance, covering, spirituality if they applied Matthew 6:33--they are not being taught truth, that is the problem, No Govt can stop God. Matthew 6 is all about that promise. Its the false religious leaders fault. And when Jesus said putting the kingdom-FIRST, means its an ultra important truth to be taught. His real teachers make 100% sure every teaching from Jesus is taught and learned. Its the fake teachers over there are failing them.

The bible says God will put it into their(govts) hearts to hand over power for 1 hour(short time) to do away with babylon the great= worldwide false religions. This is next. That begins the tribulation= the locking of the door of the ark perse. then Har-mageddon.
the 7 of the 7 headed beast represent 7 world powers of all time-the 2 horned beast is the 7th-the last-All have been watching it for years. Yes and what happens to those countries like Russia, iran etc. that do not take the mark of he beast--sanctions, cannot buy or sell.

Thats nothing more than speculation. Christians have been saying these things and making these speculations for 2000 years. They have a staggering 100% fail/0% success rate with this.
And don't forget, these "prophecies" from Revelations aren't predictions of the future. If you read it the book is very clear it is a series of letters to churches in Asia Minor, and it's discussing Rome. Not some entity in the distant future that has horns and raining fire from the heavens attached to it. You haven't even addressed your claim of a winged jaguar statue that ks somehow supposed to be like a leopard with wings, bear feet, and lion head.
None of what you say will happen. We'll all be dead before this Tribulation happens.

Chrisitanity may be in the decline in the west, but it is growing greatly in africa.

It's on the decline in the East as well. Christianity is dying out, and unlike vague, non-descript words using mythical animals and fantasy scenarios we have statistics from around the world to show this is a global thing. And why shouldn't it? After all, the Vatican is more tolerant and accepting of pedophiles than homosexuals. Evangelicals keep stirring up social issues where no one else cares. And not a single one of them can definitively show us why they are right and the hundreds of other Christian denominations are wrong. They can't even agree on more basic aspects of their theology that have massive implications such as whether or not the Trinity is a thing or not. Add in that lots of them are bigots who use their religion to justify the bigotry, and many stick their noses in where it doesn't belong to intrude into the private affairs of others it's no surprise it's declining.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

You do not to find the hard way. It is coming.

It's not. There's nothing special about your prediction to set it aside from the myriad of predictions that have failed, every last one of them.
And, of course, you can't know what Jesus knows. He doesn't know when the end is. The Angels don't know. According to Jesus you don't know either, because only the Father knows. And he didn't say you'll anticipate it. That was John. Jesus said this is going to be unexpected like a thief in the night.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Not know Jesus?

It is a funny thing of Christians. They're supposed to be humble and meek, yet judging by the actions of so many it is a Christian thing to doubt and deny those who criticize it. Those who offer criticisms don't know it, apostates left a false faith, and never do True Christians (t) do those things. Except they do, and they are radiating and reeking of arrogance when they make those claims. Jesus would probably own up to having some gnarly stinking ****. I've known plenty of Christians who act like their crap doesn't stink because they don't crap.

More water vapor in the clouds are making storms move slower so they dump more rain in areas at a time.

That's not really the case either. Hurricanes for example move very vast, but are very large and downpour very intensely. The speed of the clouds have little to do with how much they deliver in any given areas. Higher temperatures also tends to create stronger winds which does make cloud actually move faster, once again you are fairly wrong at that. The speed of clouds is relatively unimportant to floods. Topography will make it that even if rain doesn't all fall in the same area, that area will be affected by floods.

Do not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together.
Deuteronomy 22:11
So, do you make sure that your wool suits don't have linen button holes?

Hi IC, ....why are you always so difficult, always missing the point? Are you not a Jew, where is your wisdom and understanding of the precepts and ordinances of God?
Yes, according to Christians, like myself, by the final sacrifice of Christ the Law has been abrogated. But, of course, only unto salvation, not as a law that is morally correct and still pleasing to God. But, of course, this only pertains to the moral Laws, not the dietary, festival, harvest (only pertaining to ritual and liturgy).
The moral Laws remain as far as honouring God with our conduct is concerned. What God considered an abomination in the Old Testament, remains an abomination to Him forever - God does not change as far as His moral character is concerned. He created them Man and Woman, do not bastardize this intrinsic fact with cross-dressing, transgender, transvestite, ....mentally unstable people.

 

[DNB]

Given Christianity is on the decline, good riddance. But some more context is necessary, because Judaism doesn't seem to have the hard ban, and indeed the cloak of many colors, the word כְּתֹנֶת פַּסִּים only appears twice, once for the coat that Jacob made for Joseph, and again for the cloak worn by David's daughter, Tamar. So this isn't quite the easy, black and white thing you want it to be.

Non sequitur

"But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire." Matthew 5:22

I would like to point out, along with the above verse, that the OP calls others fools.

"You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." Matthew 5:43-44

Here it points out explicitly that love isn't just to be given to those you agree with, but even your enemies. Hating your enemies is explicitly called out against here. Again, compare the open declaration of hatred in OP's post.

And he must be furious when there is a shrimp cocktail in the basement of a Church for events like marriages, baptism or funerals; or men without beards, people with tattoos and or piercings, including simple hearings or the most dreadful thing, a women or a girl wearing a pair of pants.

Also a drag queen's outfit is a scene costume, not women's clothing in the strict sense of the term but I doubt @DNB actually make that difference. That would require to get pass his disgust and fear.

@Sgt. Pepper

For a discussion on drag, I don't think you can do better than Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da:

"Yeah, happy ever after in the market place
Molly lets the children lend a hand
Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face
And in the evening she's a singer with the band"

Touché!

 

[DNB]

Judging is passing judging upon others, calling them wrong, disobedient to God, sinners, the lost, fools, idiots, dolts, ugly, fat, skinny, etc.

What you mean to say is discernment. But how we discern right from wrong, good from bad, healthy from unhealthy, has to do with the heart of compassion and the mind of wisdom. It does not come from a list of external rules that you read and feel you have the right to pass judgement on others from. That is what the Pharisees were guilty of. That is what Jesus hoped to point out to them. "Let he that is without sin among you cast the first stone". Do you understand the intent behind that? That is what Romans 14 is pointing to.

Did you read that chapter yet, and have any questions about it?

If you have any questions about the meaning of judging wisely, feel free to ask...?

Matthew 23:13-29

13 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to. [14]

15 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are.

16 “Woe to you, blind guides! You say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gold of the temple is bound by that oath.’ 17 You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred? 18 You also say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gift on the altar is bound by that oath.’ 19 You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred? 20 Therefore, anyone who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. 21 And anyone who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it. 22 And anyone who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the one who sits on it.

23 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. 24 You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.

25 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. 26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.

27 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. 28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.

29 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous. 30 And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ 31 So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Go ahead, then, and complete what your ancestors started!

33 “You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? 34 Therefore I am sending you prophets and sages and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town. 35 And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 Truly I tell you, all this will come on this generation.

Earth to epronovost, earth to epronovost, come in epronovost, ...Houston, I think we have a problem!

Are you certain you aren't the problem? You seem to be the one who is offended to no end by a drag queen based on a Deuteronomy law, yet at the same time, are not offended by a shrimp cocktail (tattoos, shaven beards and piercings) which is also a abomination before the Lord according to the very same book. Technically, according to the Deuteronomy, people with physical defect (or simply ugly people) couldn't be priest either. I find your offense very selective and not very appropriate given the circumstances. At that speed, one might assume that special disgust comes from a repressed sexual desire; a common psychological phenomenon popularly known as the Haggard Law.

Of course, your application of the law is very ham-fisted too. It probably would not have touched art performers, but theatre practices were not well known, if they even occurred amongst Ancient Hebrews. You are using a Holy Book outside of its time and culture to judge an event that the author of the book couldn't even begin to imagine.

 

[Sgt. Pepper]

Deconstruction has been hard, but so worth it. It helped me see God in a new way, in a much more inclusive way.

Yes, I know deconstruction is hard. I spent thirty-one years of my life as a Christian. It took me that long to finally be honest and admit to myself that the God of the Bible is not a loving, merciful God. I finally admitted to myself that the God of the Bible was not nor has ever been a heavenly father to me. And this so-called "loving, merciful God" never protected me from the abuse that was perpetually inflicted upon me while I was growing up. I was left alone to deal with the abuse on my own, and none of my desperate prayers and frantic pleas to stop the abuse were ever answered. If there is a God, then he flat-out ignored my pleas for protection.

As far as I'm concerned, if there is a God, then he's nothing more than a cruel, callous, sadistic, bloodthirsty tyrant, who sickeningly enjoys watching human beings suffer immeasurable pain and agony. He watches innocent children be beaten and does nothing to stop the physical abuse. He watches innocent children be sexually violated, and he does nothing to stop the sexual abuse. Likewise, he watches women being beaten up or sexually assaulted, and he does nothing to stop the violent abuse. Furthermore, he watches countless people being murdered in cold blood, and he does nothing to stop the violence. He watches countless people die from a disease or a deadly virus, and he does nothing to stop the unfathomable suffering. He watches countless adults and children die in natural disasters, and he does nothing to protect them and save them. He watches countless adults and children die of starvation, and he does nothing to save them. And finally, this so-called "loving God" watched an estimated 6 million of his own chosen people, the Jews, being gassed to death by the Nazis, and he did absolutely nothing to stop this atrocious inhumane atrocity.

If the Holocaust was the only example I could provide to prove that the God of the Bible isn't a loving, merciful God and a "heavenly father," then this example would be more than sufficient to validate my point beyond a shadow of a doubt, in my humble opinion.

You have a very naive view of how the world works. God does NOT always provide for all our needs. People starve to death, including Jehovah's witnesses. Life can be absolutely brutal. And sometimes things happen to people that are so overwhelming that they crumble.
