Looking For Christian Friends

@Diotrephes I didn't realize how many people have interacted to this post for the last 24 hrs

Christianity is a popular topic. If you read the New Testament carefully and think about what read, you will quickly realize that the Jesus character is the biggest hypocrite in the Bible.

As an intelligent adult, you know right from wrong, good from evil. Jesus liked to tell others what to do but he never followed his own advice. In the end he was evil, which you will see if you actually were to read the story and think about it.

@Diotrephes sadly, there are still people who don't believe in Jesus

@JesusIsWithMe His own family didn't believe in him and his own apostles denied him.

@Diotrephes And yet all His disciples later died horrible deaths because they would not deny what they had seen.

@hippyjoe1955 John and James supposedly had super-powers. Were they afraid to use them to save themselves?

@Diotrephes What super powers do you imagine they had? James was run through with a sword while in the Jewish temple. John was thrown into boiling oil. Do you have an actual point to make? Obviously Jesus died on a cross after being beaten for hours with a cat o nine tails.

@hippyjoe1955
You keep over-looking the details in the fairytale.

Luke 9:54 (NKJV)= "And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?”"

@Diotrephes And did they? They imagined what they didn't have. That is part of the story. So what did Jesus say to all the miracle workers? Matthew 7:21-23

@hippyjoe1955
Matthew 7:21-23 (NKJV) = "21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!"

As I said before, the Jesus character is the biggest hypocrite in the Bible.

Matthew 10:7-8 (NKJV) = "7 And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven [a]is at hand.’ 8 Heal the sick, [b]cleanse the lepers, [c]raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give."

Matthew 21:21 (NKJV) = "So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done."

Luke 17:6 (NKJV) = "So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you."

So, according to Matthew 21:21 & Luke 17:6, no one in history has ever had any faith in Jesus. You can prove that you do simply by doing what he said a person of faith can do. Start with a small tree because a mountain would cause a lot of damage when you toss it into the sea. Oh, btw, he never did any of those things and neither did any of his apostles.

@Diotrephes And Satan told Jesus to jump off the Temple since the Bible said that He would not be hurt if He did that. Jesus declined. He didn't need the proof and He wasn't about to listen to Satan. Since you represent Satan in this discussion the rest of what you wrote is pretty much nonsense. Personally I have seen miracles that can not be explained. Did I do them? Of course not. God did them in my presence.

@hippyjoe1955 =
I had no idea that you are a Jew. The biblical God only cares about Jews. He said so countless times.

@Diotrephes Again with the foolishness? Romans kind of explains that. Maybe if you actually read what it said instead of deliberately misinterpreting it.

@hippyjoe1955 Thanks for the link but the book of Romans is what Paul said; not what Jesus said. And remember, Paul created Christianity, not Jesus. So, in effect, Paul created a false religion. He even said so, in 1 Corinthians chapter 15, when he blabbed about zombies. Are you really looking forward to being a zombie for eternity?

@Diotrephes Go read John 3:3. I know you won't understand it and how it exactly reflects what Paul wrote in Romans but give it a go.

@hippyjoe1955
Thanks for the reference. In John 3:17 (NKJV) it says =
"17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved."

In Revelation when Jesus reurns he will torture all of mankind and kill all life and destroy the planet. That doesn't sound like he's doing any saving.

@Diotrephes So you think our end is physical? Really? WOW!!!!! So in 10 years or so when your carcass assumes room temperature you think that is the end?

@hippyjoe1955
Have any of the chickens you've eaten returned to life?

@Diotrephes What has that got to do with things of the Spirit?

@hippyjoe1955

Have you forgotten what a bigot the God character is? He hates people of certain ethnic groups or if the person has certain physical disabilites.
