What sin has God condemned you for?

When one notes a trend, or continuous and repeating action...it is logical to assume it will continue.

It is likely the sun will again rise in the morning...so I can assume it will.

 

Is it really 'logical' to assume anything?
"as•sume (əˈsum)

v.t. -sumed, -sum•ing. 1. to take for granted or without proof; suppose; postulate; posit.

2. to take upon oneself; undertake or accept: to assume responsibility.
3. to take over the duties or responsibilities of: to assume the office of treasurer.

4. to adopt (a particular character, quality, mode of life, etc.): to assume the role of patron of the arts.
5. to take on; become endowed with: The situation assumed a threatening character.
6. to pretend to have or be; feign: to assume a humble manner.
7. to seize; usurp: to assume control.
8. to take upon oneself (the debts or obligations of another).
v.i. 9. to take something for granted; presume. "

BTW: The sun does not rise... the Earth rotates, giving the optical effect of the sun rising.... unless of course you are a 'flat Earther' and believes that the sun does in fact rise and set. Rise up out of the nothing at the end of the Earth and set into the nothing at the other end of the Earth.

 

There are no gods - so the question is moot

 

What? Jesus was raised from the dead by God. Angels weren't involved.

 

Clearly there is something wrong with the Bible when the followers of said Bible all have contradicting beliefs. Is the Bible that poorly written that it has resulted in tens of thousands of differing denominations, tens of thousands of differing interpretations and millions of followers who can't agree on simple passages and what really happened?

Insane.

Surely the one true religion would be one that stands firm against contradiction and conflicting interpretations among its many believers?

 

No more than people having contradictions with the writings of Plato,
Shakespeare, Azamov or Huxley. People have trouble leaving things
alone and making them hard to understand for whatever reason.

The Bible is considered one of the best pieces of literature ever
written so being poorly written isn't the problem. As I said previously, it's
people and what they do to things that muck up the waters. They
manage to get followers who listen to them instead of reading for
themselves. The Reformation is a perfect example. The Catholic
Church had turned a simple belief into a monstrosity and people
who were educated and could read took the church to task and
some were killed for it.

At any rate, it's not the Bible that's the problem it's the people who
for whatever reason want to change what's written. Maybe for power.
Maybe for attention. Maybe out of ignorance.

 

The Bible is not one piece of literature but a whole library of many pieces of literature:

That said: Yes, back in the day the Catholic Church surely would have preferred to be the sole Church and the sole authority to interpret the Bible. (In the face of what some of the weirder Protestant sects make of it, I sometimes think it may have had a point. ) However: These days we tend to embrace pluralism and it’s a bit strange that secular of all people, who think of themselves as highly enlightened, should have a problem with that.

 

I didn't call it a single piece of literature. I said the Bible is considered
one of the best pieces of literature.

Perhaps you learned from me that the Bible is 66+ books and
documents written by some 40+ authors over a period of about
1,500 years.

 

Wouldn't it be nice if God had the power to write his own book and present it to us in person? Why that would take care of so many problems we face already, like if there even is a god.

 

Read 1 Corinthians 1: 10 through the completion of the chapter. It speaks about seeking signs (such as your suggestion above).

 

I learned to make that a big plus behind the 40 authors and to knock off a couple of hundreds of years concerning the period.

 

First, it's 66+ books and documents written by 40+ authors over a period of
over 1,500 years who were inspired by God. Second, He did.

 

Ahahahaha, that's funny! You should do stand up!

 

Then produce evidence to the contrary.

 

maybe that means don't blame Jesus for the Sins of his father.... for his father is not perfect, suffers from jealousy and rage.... Jesus will protect us from the evil old man....

 

Can you produce evidence that Zeus, Odin, Xenu, or an invisible pink unicorn didnt inspire the bible?

 

So you seriously think that all of the books were complete units completed so long ago? >>>MOD EDIT Off Topic Removed<<<

 

Yes. Do you have contrary evidence?

 

I do.

What language was spoken in the East?

If complete back then and English was yet to be invented, where and how did English names get put into them?

Those had to come way later and thus shows that the myths were not complete in the distant past as you suggest.

Oh, I thought you were serious and had some real evidence and
not just your opinion.

Alas, I won't make that mistake again.

 

Evidence. There is no evidence for anything of that era. At least not to modern scholarship.

Yes. You mentioned myths and provided hypothetical questions,
unless you meant them to be rhetorical.

 

Before God chose me (it is said we do not chose god but its the other way round') I tried other religions hoping to find one that would be a religion of 'truth'. It was like a 20 year journey starting when I was 16 or 17. First I was an devout atheist, while atheism didn't have any answers to the big questions it was not a guiltless lifestyle. So I looked around, and seeing that uncle sams army was sending me to an area where Buddhism was the number one religion I tried it and loved it. I practiced Buddhism for over two years, until it too left me empty. Then dabbled in Islams version of how things really are. And others. Now you probably know the Christian God forgives ALL sins, but God is not the problem. The other guy is. The problem or problems may number in the thousands. I got into witchcraft and practiced it longer than any other religion. Please do not confuse wicca with LeVay satanism which is just pure self indulgent BS IMO. I never got into sacrifices, I might of practiced the black arts but stopped short of hurting anything living on purpose. Anyway the bad thing is that I invited demons to help as part of a 'black' ritual. Maybe it was gray magic lol, It wasn't meant to physically hurt anyone. I wanted their help to secure the love of a girl. Man I wanted her so bad I asked for demonic help! Back then I was naive and dumb enough to think I knew how to protect myself from bad things (such as using a magic circle while casting spells etc). I was WRONG. Anyway that girl... she was way out of my league, perfectly beautiful, blonde and rich. Hell she was out of everyone league, and worse she got married at when she turned 18 to a mutual acquaintance. So as I said I asked for demonic help, and long story short I got it. I got the girl, she came to me and moved in for five years! That is the only time in my life that I messed around with a married woman. Her hubby was running around on her too but still I was WRONG. Anyway now she is gone and I still have my demonic friends, at least I think I do. And that is unsettling to say the least.

Well you asked me,,,,

None, I am Christian and I believe that Chris's death paid the debt for my sins, thus through Christ I am saved from condemnation.

 

??

Two separate concepts that have nothing in common.

We are talking of myths and all questions would be hypothetical, --- in the way I use language.

I cannot see how a question could be rhetoric. The answer could be.
