I honestly think free childcare would solve a lot of problems as well

Stop it. You’re radicalising me.

My mum was convinced that going to sleep with wet hair would give you a fever lol, even told me. It’s a lie. She believed it because her mum told her.

The Jews follow the Torah, not the Bible…

It does, but converting is basically the first step. You can simply just accept Jesus as your saviour, you will need to get baptised at some point and participate in communion, but that’s it.

Flax_vert ,

Baptism is a requirement.

‭Acts‬ ‭2:38‬:

Peter replied, ‘Repent and be baptised, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

‭Mark‬ ‭16:16‬:

Whoever believes and is baptised will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

‭1 Peter‬ ‭3:21‬:

and this water symbolises baptism that now saves you also – not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience towards God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ

So is communion

‭John‬ ‭6:53‭-‬56‬:

Jesus said to them, ‘Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. [54] Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them.

While you can become a Christian and repentance is the most important step, baptism and communion cannot be neglected.

My teacher told me that he’d fail me if I mispronounced “Data” as “Da ta” and not “Dait a”. So I always mispronounce it

Flax_vert ,

He claimed it wasn’t an accent. It was a database class. I think he was correct though as that type of thing transcends accents

He was weird. He spent an entire class talking about his divorce and once came in dressed as a cowboy. Oh, and he also taught us for mathematics, and ended up failing the entire class on coursework.

Favourite text editor. Wouldn’t change it for the world.

Flax_vert OP ,

There are specific users with emoji names that stand out a lot all of the time.

Flax_vert OP ,

I remember kolanki. Likely because the display name is all emojis 🤣

I do admit, it is a bit of an echo chamber on here for some groups :(

It could also intimidate other groups out.

I wonder if there are any fake phones you can get them. Or even better yet, just get an old android, absolutely brutalise it software wise, even disabling internet, maybe put like nothing on it or keep it on the lock screen.

Do you have proof of this invisible dragon?

Flax_vert ,

I do ask you though, how would you prove God, if He was real? It’s not like you can say “if God is real, then ice would melt if exposed to heat”, could you? What proof would convince you, personally?

Flax_vert ,

The scientific method isn’t the only method. It cannot explain why the United Kingdom formed or why WWII happened.

I think it is a matter of perspective. Phil walked into a room and the kettle was boiling. Gregory was already in that room. Phil asked Gregory why the kettle was boiling. Gregory started talking about the heating element, electricity, how it heats the water, why water boils, etc. Then Bill walks in, and Phil asks Bill why the kettle is boiling. Bill responds with “because I wanted a cup of tea!”

Then, there is the historical method.

You say that there wouldn’t be a question over what sect is correct. But history records a man who lived around two thousand years ago who said he is “the only way”. He also claimed that he was God. Was he just a madman? Anyone can claim to be god. Well, no, because he had miracles to back him up. He was born of a virgin as well and ended up being executed, then somehow coming back to life, and was seen by many people. Then he was seen ascending into heaven. Not only does our past history point to this man, but his past history pointed to this man. There are writings predicting him that even outdate him. And it’s not like throwing spaghetti towards the wall, as those writings were being actively held to those people that held them - yet many of them who witnessed his miracles did not believe, one even betrayed him. And then after death, he sent his spirit to aid many people in telling the world about him. To this day, people count the year based on days since his birth.

What I tell you is good news. This man is not just a man. He is Jesus Christ. History points to him.

Salvation is a free gift from Jesus. Even the tiny amount of faith saves from Hell. And if you think this is still mean, that doesn’t disprove the reality. The fact your body will decay in the earth and you’ll probably be forgotten is a cruel fact which many don’t like, but it is reality.

Salvation is free. And it’s offered to everybody. No matter their race, age, gender or background.

Source?

Flax_vert ,

What do you mean the Christ Confessor? In Matthew 28 , Peter isn’t mentioned, but Mary finds the empty tomb. In John 20 and Luke 24, Peter runs to the tomb after being told by Mary. In all of these accounts, Peter is given a position which appears to be “lesser” than Mary Magdelene. In Mark, she was too afraid to tell anyone until Jesus appeared to her and reassured her (John goes into detail about this, and notes how she was crying in distress). If she actually didn’t tell anyone permanently, that fact wouldn’t have been recorded.

Also worth mentioning, she had seven demons driven out. Wasn’t a whore. This is basically just a weirdly elaborate theory which doesn’t really hold any water or value whatsoever.

The Bible is more of a historical record than a scientific textbook. Around the same time of Jesus, Mt Vesuvius erupted destroying Pompeii. An event that was likely witnessed by tens of thousands of people and killed many wealthy romans. Yet we only have one historical record of it from it’s time. The rest of the records are archaeological. Historical figures accept the birthplace of Julius Caesar as Suburra, Italy, without question, despite there only being a single source written 175 years written after the fact. The earliest source we have to Alexander the great was written around 300 years after his death, yet people accept that without question. Heck, going back to birthplaces, we even have three accounts within 90 years of Jesus existence and archaeological evidence of very early first century pilgrimages to show that Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Yet people dispute that, and you claim that “We don’t even know if Jesus even existed”

It seems your main problem is that personally, you think that God is “mean”, so therefore you try and convince yourself that He doesn’t exist, even if it means applying an unfair standard to the historicity of Jesus.

Many Evangelical circles don’t teach you crap, they deliberately empty the faith to it’s barebones. Some of them are very toxic and really just care about politics. Knowing just the Bible and nothing else without knowing how it came about and early church history, historical context, etc, can leave someone lost. But like how the father forgave his prodigal son and partied, you can always come back to God.

So I would recommend dropping the intellectually-dishonest standards and coming back to Him.

The original ending was likely a literary device - perhaps encouraging the reader to do what Jesus said as Mary wouldn’t do it. It is still recognised as a very early addition, and the fact it was just someone tying up the story to make it read better was also recorded early on. As a matter of fact, if you remove verse 8, it actually makes sense again, so verse 8 seems to be an intentional cliffhanger.

Flax_vert ,

You are right there in the sense that we know the early church added on to it, but basically every copy of the Bible I have minus the KJV (which doesn’t use footnotes and is from 1611 anyway) mentions that they were added on. They aren’t even that significant, unless you’re that snake handling denomination. Everything said there is backed up by the other three gospels.

Flax_vert ,

The greek language structure of Mark seems to be cut off abruptly at the end. It doesn’t conclude the Gospel properly. It wouldn’t have made sense to end it here either as we know from Paul’s letters which were written before. The end of the Gospel of Mark was likely a call to respond, to do what the women were told to do.

Secondly, you even seemed to say so yourself that John was written more isolated from the synoptics, so if they were trying to “censor” out when making stuff up, why would he include her in his gospel in the first place?

Lastly, that’s assuming Marcan priority, which generally tries to presuppose that Matthew wasn’t an eyewitness account in the first place. The early church clearly records Matthew as being written first and Matthew being written by Matthew (keep in mind that the Gospels were widely circulated by then and they had already rejected forgeries under names such as Peter) and Marcan priority was only hypothesised in the late 18th century, yet is still quite debated. Athiestic Bible scholars like it because it is useful for them to explain away the Bible.

Flax_vert ,

Matthew was an eyewitness, Jesus literally called him in person. And Mark could have copied from Matthew instead. This “genetic fallacy” or whatever you made up is purely ignorant, as people who actually knew this stuff and where it came from are the strongest and most reliable sources.

Saying “We know Mark was written first because Matthew copied from Mark” doesn’t make any sense - as Mark could just have easily copied from Matthew. And I’m the one you say doesn’t know logic? 😂

Flax_vert ,

Matthew was a tax collector. It would have made no sense for him to be illiterate at all. And he would have likely known Greek as it was a common language in Judea at that time.

Again, “religious writings get longer with time not shorter” doesn’t necessarily make sense either. Because the book of Jude, John’s epistles, etc were all also written later. Papyrus was expensive. It would have made sense to make an abridged work with teachings in it from your own teachers as well for difference.

Matthew has a large chiastic structure too, so I don’t know what that point was about.

Iraneus and Papias both referred to the gospels, and that was only within centuries.

Flax_vert ,

Proof there was no census? Also “satan is the good guy” is woefully incorrect, it shows you clearly never read the book 🤣

I’ll admit it. I came here as a reddit replacement, as I cannot stand their official app.
