Thread about Jesus - Questions, Bible Verses and Prayer Requests

[xxfoomandrewxx]

To OP, as a fellow believer in Christ I think it's cool to see you trying to reach people through this outlet. But honestly, I also think there's a right way to do it. Without having a "high-headed" spirit or "Holier Than Thou" attitude when posting or replying to threads. In the end, every one has a free spirit and entitled to believe in what they want. All you can do is share and plant the seed and let God do the talking. I think that's the beauty of life though, God let's you choose what you want to believe in. Even if it's not in Him! But ultimately no one will no til the end.. I think that's why I don't really think of my beliefs as a "religion" but as a "faith". Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Tho I may not have ever seen God in my life, I still believe He's there through the things that have happened in my life. To people who don't believe in God, I respect your belief. You're entitled to that as I am with mine. And we're still human. No need for crazy debates.

Believer of Christ checking in.

I don't debate my faith on NT nor judge those who don't believe what I believe.

This thread is about 85% trolling anyways.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. Prov 3:5

I do not know your walk with Christ so I can't judge you. 

Nor do I know if you've read through

the thread. 

This is a thread about Christ my brother.

I'm not here to lie, make friends

and falsely preach about how all

religions might be correct.

We are all sinners, like I said you could call me the biggest 

sinner in the world.

Heck I am nothing

But a man, running on time

without Christ.

But the biggest thing

that differentiates born again Christians 

with believers of others is 

we know the Truth of

Eternal Life and the 

wisdom and love of God.

Fear in the Lord is

the beginning of  wisdom.

If I don't bring the Rock,

then all I am doing is tickling ears.

God bless ya brother.

First man was Adam

He had communion with God

since he knew no sin. 

God told Adam "Don't eat from that Tree

of Knowledge"

Eve, Adam's wife

eats from the Tree of Knowledge.

Gives Adam.

They have sinned.

Since they have sinned

For forgiveness they must sacrifice.

The Lord Sends his Son

4000 years later

after he had given word

through many of the prophets

of the Old Testament.

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, willingly dies

on the cross, as the last sacrifice, 

rises from the dead and 

freed us from damnation.

Through our repentance,

turning from sin.

and trusting in Christ alone,

God gives us the Holy Spirit, which 

guides, empowers  us and eternal life. 

With it comes the hate from the world.

How exactly did Jesus dying forgive me of my sins?

It was an atonement. The wages of sin is death.

"Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin; and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death."

Each year, the high priest had to sacrifice a specific animal that had no blemish in order to atone for the sins of Israel. The blood of this animal was sprinkled on the mercy seat of the ark of the covenant. Beside the mercy seat on the ark were two cherubim looking down at the seat, representing God's judgement. Once the blood was sprinkled and the glory and judgment of God came to the tent, His wrath was turned away upon seeing the blood. The price was paid and judgement passed over, just like in Egypt.

In order for the sacrifice to be accepted, it had to be without blemish. The best of the best. So in order to fully wash away all of mankind's sin and not just cover them, something greater had to be sacrificed. So God did it himself, through Jesus by wrapping himself in flesh and being the perfect example. By being wrapped in flesh, He was able to experience everything that we are tempted with yet overcome each one. Then like a lamb led to the slaughter, He was sacrificed. His death forgives sin because like with the above paragraph, whenever God's glory would look at the mercy seat and see the blood, His wrath was turned away. With Jesus' death, he ascended into heaven as our high priest, mercy seat and mediator between God and man. The job of the high priest was to be the mediator between God and man, pleading for forgiveness. If he wasn't right(life wise) everyone depending on him would be in trouble. This time, we don't have to worry about whether the high priest is in good standings or not. Now, Jesus is the only high priest in heaven who we have direct access to, went through all types of temptation and can identify with us since He overcame them.

When we sin, God sees the blood of Jesus on us(through baptism in Jesus name) and His wrath is turned away as the price has already been paid while we see the man Jesus. Its like having a coin placed in between you and someone else. One person sees heads, the other sees tails. We see the man Jesus, God sees the bloodied sacrifice and has mercy. It doesn't mean that we are free to sin but that when we slip up, it's been paid for.

Very well written.

OP is a pseudo religious prophet who does worse for the foundation his beliefs by promoting them through fallacy and intimidation tactics. If he's as much of an authoritative figure on christianity as he claims to be, his god must be so disappointed in what "loving" "gospel bearing" followers such as the OP have turned out to be...it's shameful

No diss, but from what I've seen in my 9 years here is typically anyone who speaks about their faith with confidence becomes a bad rep because it offends. When you tell people that your beliefs says they are living wrongly, that's what happens. That line about carrying the hate of the world is right.

The only good representation is if we never speak about it or speak in such a way to tip toe around the issue at hand.

Jesus pissed people off. He came and told RELIGIOUS LEADERS what they were doing wrong and they even plotted against him. Let that sink in.

I wouldn't say all that


I think feel we're asking basic question and the answers we're getting are "believe". That's where I begin to doubt the "truth"





Here's a question OP, what part of the bible is just and parable and what part is actual events?

 

[rko2004]

These questions... Forgive me everyone... But these questions, if you actually read the bible with a truly open mind and heart seeking truth. They'd answer themselves.

 

[durtyraspburry]

Here's a question OP, what part of the bible is just and parable and what part is actual events?

The Old Testament books are actual events.

The Book of Psalms is knowledge and songs of praises

Proverbs is knowledge.

The New Testament are events past and to come.

Some differences in books

but if you are interested

you know the deal.

 

[durtyraspburry]

God wants you to have faith

in his word

I'm no

theologian. 

Even if I gave you all your answers 

you've chosen in your heart to be skeptic.

I have a big problem with a discussion from a few hours ago regarding evolution.

However, before I say my piece I'd like to assert that I have no problems with someone choosing to believe in something as long as they don't feel the need to push beliefs onto others.

But when beliefs impede progress and promote ignorance to learning then I start to draw issue with religion.

Evolution is something that occurs. This is not up for debate. The only part of evolution that is debatable is the precise mechanism in which it occurs. Evolution can be shown before our very eyes and some has happened by human hand.

Take many of the vegetables that we consume on a daily basis. These different vegetables have veered off from an original ancestor and have EVOLVED into different classifiable species. Many of their modern day forms would be hard to connect to their original species.

Will comment later when I finish reading the thread

 

[macncheeese]

I appreciate it man.
God bless you.

No doubt. Stay strong, God bless

 

[bballermarkie]

Now two questions

1) Why pick NT to spread your word to? Do you have an interest in sneakers or were you just throwing darts and one hit our little community here?

2) If one is living a good life in order to please Christ and enter heaven, why does this make them a better person than someone living a good life simply because that's how people are supposed to coexist with each other?
