Heterodox approaches to Christian scripture

[bit_pattern]

Do people hate things they consider imaginary?

I really hate that Harry Potter cunt... And Joffrey too... I'd say the thesis stands...

Unfortunately, It's Biblical, that people will hate God, and they will hate His followers. It's to be expected.

Jesus reassures us we are blessed when we are hated, slandered, spoken evil of, and persecuted because of His names sake. To the one who perseveres to the end and finds refuge in God is truly blessed.

Come come now Mr Tromps, do you think you may be elevating the situation a little here? No-one hates YOU here at all. In fact, I respect you for sticking to your guns in the face of a bit of opposition. This is no enactment of parable or biblical teaching here; its just an online discussion. I can intensely dislike Christianity and like its proponents; I just think they are mad!

God bless everyone

May the Sacred Shoelace tighten your shoe too

^^Those are a few, fairly tame examples directed at Christianity, not God

Well, Christianity is a belief in God, so if you hate Christianity you hate the belief in God? Perhaps a quote at the beginning of this thread is more directed toward Christianity such as this:

Christians loving their genocidal God is like Jews adoringHitler, and just as foolish.

However, if a statement such as this (I underlined for emphasis) isn't hatred toward God, I don't know what is:

To believe in bible God is to believe in a genocidal son murdering prick of a God who had his son needlessly murdered.

Ask Gnostic Bishop if he hates God as portrayed in Christianity, he will admit it.

Way to take my quote way out of context, Tromps.. I wasn't talking about Christianity, God or anything else.. I was talking about hate itself.

So fck you?

Well, it was off the back of GB talking about hating God in Christianity, so it wasn't totally out of context.

I didn't say anyone hates me. Though, a few others and I have been personally singled out and slandered as "immoral, illogical, foolish and stupid" people by Gnostic Bishop. I take no offense though, that's his problem if he thinks that way.

Gnostic Bishop has started 11 of the 40 threads (over 25% ), on the first page of P&S, more than anyone else, and they are mostly geared toward his resentment towards Christianity. Half of his posts contain the same copy and pasted text, and same youtube videos on multiple threads, from some website he's probably getting fed from. He's starting to sound like a broken record. Someone else put it well, "we get it dude, you hate Christianity."

^Okay, you 'implied' you were hated by vaguely referencing scripture. 8) Small difference.

I tend to agree that GB threads are really all just variations of a theme and are getting a bit tiresome, and its good that the mods have mergerized some of them

 

[Gnostic Bishop]

Wait, you're using a Bible verse? I thought you believed the Bible & God to be a giant lie and myth? 8)

Indeed. All the Gods and scriptures should be thought of as myth until one can force his apotheosis. Only then should any belief be given to what is found.

Considering all God to be myths is a standard Gnostic Christian way of thinking.

I do use archetypal Jesus quite a bit thought to show his thinking which you seem to want to ignore.

The thinking shown below is the Gnostic Christian’s goal astaught by Jesus but know that any belief can be internalized.

This method and mind set is how you become I am and brethrento Jesus.

When you can name your God, I am, and mean yourself, thenyou will begin to know the only God you will ever find.

Here's just a few examples... I'll keep it anonymous, but it's there.

There are some that are noticeably angry and hateful towards God and the belief in God, even though they don't believe.

I see it as many not liking that Christians have top develop a double standard of morality to follow their genocidal son murdering God and trying to save your soul.

But you continue to follow Satan.

How will you get yourselfinto heaven? On your own merit or via a scapegoat?

Revisit substitutionaryatonement or vicarious redemption and scapegoating with me just to refresh yourmemory.

I am not an atheist but Satanand Christians want atheists to embrace barbaric human sacrifice and the notionthat we should profit from punishing the innocent instead of the guilty.Scapegoating IOW.

In reality, if God did demandsuch a barbaric sacrifice, he would be sinning as we all know that it isimmoral to kill the innocent. God knows this yet Christians do not seem to. Youdo. Right?

Those with good morals willknow that no noble and gracious God would demand the sacrifice of a son just toprove it's benevolence. When you die, Satan will ask you; how was your ticketto heaven purchased? With innocent blood?

If and when you say yes, youbecome his.

-----------------------------------

The other option inscriptures, a moral one, is shown here. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slackconcerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering tous-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come torepentance.

Scriptures indicate that Godprefers repentance to sacrifice and as God’s will is supreme and cannot bethwarted, this will come to pass.

---------------------------------

It is a special distortedChristian view of love that sees, --- as the greatest act of love possible, ---their God condemning them, and then turning and demanding his son’s deaths and thus corrupting God's perfect justice. Abribe set by God as judge himself for himself. This is of course ridiculous.

Christians have an insaneview of love, IMO.

Would you express your lovefor humanity or those you love by having your own child needlesslymurdered?

Or if convinced that asacrifice was somehow good, would you have the moral fortitude to step upyourself to that cross instead of sending your child?

Your cowardly God did not.

Now that phasing I can agree with, because Christianity is quite immoral and should die.

I can say I hate what it has done to peoples morals but that is only blame that belongs to your lying clergy.

Do you think Christianity hated the Gnostic Christians they murdered while under Constantine's orders or did they just hate the religion enough to kill it's members?

Well more accurately, Christianity is one form of belief in god. Many of the world's religions center around a belief in god, so to hate Christianity does not necessary equate to hating god.

I particularly like the Goddesses. They are so much more tender than the male Gods.
