For a debate
Not sure if it’s appropriate as I don’t want any discussion to reflect badly for the sad.
It’s a contentious subject alright .
I will start off .
Why do people believe what they do and eshew the teachings of others
Ergo,why believe Baptist theology but not Mormon
Why JH and not Methodist
What is it exactly that binds |  |

“ afternoon tea”
You’re either pretentious or seriously posh

You obviously haven’t read the bible thoroughly enough:
And his disciples did mourn, there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth, and they did consume therefore freshly baked scones smearethed with roddas clotted cream. And Mary of Magdalene did proclaim suddenly “switcheth ye to tother channel for now doth commence bridge of lies with Ross Kemp” and they did so and were glad as the jackpot was thus won. |  |

For a start you misrepresent me - I was quoting you. Of course God existed , he was ever present before creation. Christianity didn’t begin until Christ’s time of course but to it is not an alien religion compared to what it superseded.
Christian was the name first attributed to the Apostles and followers of Christ in Antioch in the first century . It was the continuation of the faith of Abraham Isaac and Jacob which Christ came to affirm but he came also to negate the oral laws of the Pharisees and Sadducee’s (Talmud) which in the Gospels he rails against. The Talmud first came into being during the exile and its tenets fundamentally alter the laws or create new ones which came from rhe influence of the Babylonian culture which they had to coexist.
Orthodox Christianity to this days upholds this tradition - the services are the continuation of Temple Liturgical worship (with iconography, incense , menorahs on the altar etc ) but the sacrifice is not a goat/bull or whatever but the offering is bread and wine.
I like the way that you see it as a system of control - control as in “don’t kill each other” , “don’t sleep with someone else’s spouse” “don’t steal” - you obviously mean something else - can you elucidate that for me? I would have thought the command to “love one another “ wouldn’t be seen as some nefarious and negative control system!
Also you go on to claim the the God of the OT and NT is new and somehow invented but bang on about the integrity of “Judaism” - (that term is actually younger than Christianity by a good century or so and refers completely to the Talmudic interpretation of the Torah which is false as is Kabbalah). The modern day (from the period after the first centuries of Christianity) faith of Judaism even changed the translation of the Septuagint to EXCLUDE messianic texts that were attributed to the coming of the messiah in the foretold time (the period before the destruction of the second temple ) and in its stead the Jewish mystics have announced more than one messiah (Shabbatai Zevi being one in the 1600’s) and Jews to this day need to rebuild the temple to usher in the one they regard as Mossiach but which the book of Revelation describes as Antichrist. And when you look at the Middle East today you can see they’re trying to do exactly that - there’s even film on you tube of Rabbi Schnerson (chabad founder) telling a younger Netanyahu to “do more to hasten his coming”. |
Ni I didn't misrepresent you, you said,
no sh*t! Christ was crucified in 33 AD you’re on the money there. It couldn’t have existed before so I don’t know what point you’re making there.
If this god existed what was it doing, playing tiddlywinks with Horus and Kali, waiting for its turn in the limelight?
Did the rest of the gods exist then? If so what happened to them? They politely stepped aside did they?
It is system of control, not control by a god (because it doesn't exist) but control by humans over other humans. Religious leaders controlled Royalty as well as the plebs. Those same religious leaders never went without while the plebs suffered hardships.
I don't bang on about it's inyegrity, I said it was older but as for inyegrity, it is yet another man made religion, there is no god of Abraham but that religion started around 1800BCE when Abraham established a covenant with God that was confirmed with the reception of the Torah (the Law including the Ten Commandments) from God through Moses to the Jewish people at Mount Sinai approximately 3,320 years ago.
PS, not SOMEHOW invented. Invented in the same way people today have started new religions that arev a pile of nonense such as Scientology or the Rajneesh movement. | | | |
