    Funny how you pretend to know Jesus....the One you say is a man made being. It's something that has a hold of you to some degree.

    And those that purport to be scientifically in the know have done their share of that.

    Jesus walked on water, only He was only man in form. Peter walked a little but that was only because he had his eyes on Jesus. In intence volcanic activity, things have become encrusted with salt....a scientific fact. Renee.....I just wish I could show you the things that have touched my heart and have rang true to this day. Those things will keep me going even though I reach deaths door. I like to share those things with others but realistically there are very few that care to hear.

    Yeah well, perhaps they've paid attention to the efforts of other missionaries and what that typically portends for the future of a people being approached by missionaries.

    Having another innocent person suffer for the wrongs you have done, --- so that you might escape responsibility for having done them, --- is immoral. To abdicate personal responsibility is immoral.

    Buddhism, Karaite Jews and Gnostic Christianity.

    All three are based on knowledge and wisdom. Not so guy in the sky.

    Usually science is pretty clear about where it stands on some subject.

    From there, the public hears about it through news outlets that really don't have the time and personnel to do a great job of reporting, especially when it comes to nuance concerning how confident science might be on a topic. The cool breaking news is usually something where there was some immediate and surprising result - and that usually means it hasn't gone through enough of the mill that science uses to exclude false ideas.

    So, you might need to mention some topic here or do some looking at solid science sources to find what position is being taking by the majority of science.

    Ain't that the truth. I've never seen a primary peer reviewed source sound anything like any media representation of it.

    How do you pretend to know what is moral? On what knowledge do you base your morals on? Who are you to put your morals on to others?

    You did not disappoint.

    I do know him well, but he is not the Jesus you know. Your wants and has slaved you to your idol worshiping cult. The one I know wants to free you from such immoral traditions.

    Have a listen and then ignore the wisdom that eludes you and continue your ass kissing of your genocidal son murdering God.

    Matthew 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

    John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

    Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

    You likely do not know how to read scriptures so here is the explanation for you.

    In this case, the bible quotes that you are ignoring.

    Why are you ignoring their wisdom and justice?

    Your scripture quotes actually refer to Jesus and His Father whom you have called names and made multiple accusations. You, my friend are the "accuser".

    Irrelevant to the issues at hand. You are a name calling child instead of one who wished to know a real God as you prefer to ride your scapegoat Jesus into hell.

    I knew you did not have the intelligence to see or accept the real message and good new that Jesus taught. Stay a child.

    No. I have accepted them or I would not be quoting them.

    You no longer make any sense at all. Go away to continue your immoral thinking. I have no time for fools.

    Only the childlike will enter the Kingdom of God. Jesus said "I and the Father are One"....and you show your disdain for both/ Accuse away!

    No. It is just as I suspected, you do not understand the difference between a non-believer and a dis-believer. You are discussing something you know nothing about.

    So that is why you want to keep the things of children, as scriptures say, like belief in the supernatural.

    As to disdain for the Jesus know, it should be shown for the immoral Rome created Jesus you follow.

    Note that I have shown respect for the more Eastern Jesus that I quoted and whose message you ignore out of childish fear.

    The Church existed long before it took hold of Rome. It existed outside of Rome. People with the right hearts see the Gospel of Christ through the "fog of Rome". Eastern Believers are one in the same in the Body of Chist. You are with the "accuser", Isaiah said "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil (as you have done) who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; who sustitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter."

    ??

    What evil did I call good and what good did I call evil?

    If you are to accuse me of such, you should be able to quote what you are talking about or at least the issues you are talking about.

    Or were you so vague so as to just insult and run away?

    That’s because all these miracles have nothing to do with the supernatural. Why would god touch you but not the babies dying in agony in Africa because of no rain? God is the opposite of obama. Obama gets all the blame and none of the credit and god gets all the credit and none of the blame
