While we sat down and had Christmas dinner this year a lot of things were being reflected on. Dad's new job, Uncle's new business venture, Pop's new house, my new job, the grand kids getting older with babies of their own, we had a feast of crab cakes, ham, green beans, jello, rolls and butter, some of us water some of us wine, oreo cake, egg-nog ice cream, and lobster mac and cheese.
That was all in a blessing of its self. How could you not sit there and not feel totally thankful torwards God. People think because "they did all the work themselves" that they assume God fails to provide an increase? God provided your food, God provided your family (He didn't guarantee health or state of being), God provided your clothes, etc.
>1st Corinthians 3:6-7 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
>Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
There is a major sense of satisfaction knowing that it comes from the Lord, our savior, Jesus Christ.
>2 Timothy 1:7 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
Fuck your desert death cult. It is a pyramid scheme and nothing more.
Thomas Collins
>Pyramid Scheme
Jesus broke one. Also, I don't think you read over what I just wrote at all.
>John 2:13-17
13 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

Book One: Stolen from the disciples of David. Tells you God is all-knowing and all powerful. God smites. God destroys. God floods. God demands human blood sacrifice. God doesn't get so many followers.
Book Two: Here's a sacrifice. Love me. Ok?
There is an old proverb, you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. If god was so smart, how come he even wasted any time with the old testament? If he was all-knowing, he would have realized the god of brimstone would not garner as many followers and skipped right to the kumbaya.
But he didn't. Proving he is not all-knowing. Therefore he is imperfect. Therefore not godlike, not a god. Therefore he does not exist.
Give it up. Superstition has ruined this world….
Dylan Murphy
Eh, maybe in your case. I used to be pretty into Christianity and did the small groups thing in college, but I realized that being an honest Christian man doesn't get you a job. I then started lying my ass off about my nonexistent work experience to get the new definition of an entry level job and have been doing better than I ever was as a Christian. I'm technically still religious, but my children and I follow my wife's religion: Japanese Shintoism. My life has never been better since I left Christianity.
Dylan King
Christianity is an unnatural system of beliefs. It requires one to look at human nature as sinful and that egalitarianism is true. A philosophy of life for weaklings and fools.
What do you call a nature that lies, steals, rapes, and murders?
Christian Turner
The Gospel of Jesus Christ. Gospel meaning "Good News" in Greek.
You're a sinner, you have sinned, your sin nature doesn't leave you. Sin is the "transgression of the law." It's the breaking of God's commandments. The Bible says if you break even one command your guilty of death and you shall suffer eternal damnation. However, God the Father sent God the Son (Jesus Christ) to bear our sins by being Crucified, Resurrecting, and returning with God The Father. The way to receive eternal life with God is by acknowledging that you have sin, there is nothing you can do on this earth to reverse or void sins. You must believe that Jesus Christ paid for your sins.

fuck you and your lording 'satisfaction' a perfect life over people. noone wants to be like you and thats why you have to try so hard to evangelize. what you're really doing is playing a game where you get people to validate your own beliefs fuck off

That is a logic lock, and therefore not godlike. So sad.
Jayden Jones
Maybe for you faggot My Christmas was about being thankful we got through the year Don't worry though my test is done, yours hasn't even started yet
Benjamin Jenkins
I think it turns people away from religion when you say things like "God provided your food, God provided your family (He didn't guarantee health or state of being), God provided your clothes, etc. " which can be easily debated
YOU earned the clothes by purchasing them. YOU bought the food. PEOPLE harvested the food. Seems belittling to god to say he provided you with clothes or water or what not when he is the creator of absolutely every single particle in the entire universe and beyond; THAT is what we should be thankful for. Humans also have a role and credit in using the building blocks and reality he has given us to live in to do things. He provided the clothes by extension - he's more directly creditable for every gasp of air you inhale, since humans play no part in that. Still thankful that God put me in the POSITION to be able to purchase clothes, or food, but it has never been my instinct to thank God directly for those exact possessions as though he personally went out of his way to provide them - I'd sooner thank the manufacturer, and thank God for giving me a life and creating this amazing experience and universe for us, and making us his focus creation
Dylan Brooks
Depends on who they perpetrate these actions against.
Raping your own people is bad. Raping the widows of your enemies is good.
Murdering your children is bad. Murdering your enemies is good.
You get the jist.
Kayden Price

Nolan Baker
>Why was God bad then nice
If you're so smart how come you haven't created something better then outer space, nebulas, the son, the earth, the dinosaurs. The problem lies in your heart because you automatically think you can be better then God.
God is a wrathful being. He is destroying things that are disobeying him, and even giving people in most cases way too many chances then they deserved. Since God is slow to anger I am surprised he let Sodom and Gomorrah for as long as he did. If your disobedient to your parents expect to be punished. If your disobedient to God expect to be punished both or either here physically here in this world or the next one.
Juan Barnes
I was more so referring to things that are fundamentally what define us as living beings. That being survival. Christianity preaches that one should give up everything, even their own life so that they may be granted eternal life once they die, which there’s no evidence that such a thing even exists. It also preaches that the weak shall inherit the earth which is fucking nonsense and is against nature. Now you can claim I deflected the question but i too do realize that “theft, rape and murder” are things that humans do, but christianity preaches as if ONLY these things are considered “human” and all things “good” come ONLY from God. Which is utter fucking nonsense. Some people are fucked in the head and desire to kill, rape and steal while others desire to do good, even without faith in jesus.
William Sanders
im undeservedly blessed no doubt about it
Logan Wright
God chastens or punishes.
>Hebrews 12:6-11
6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
Logan Ward

I told you everything I was thankful for. I didn't complain? You don't know who has cancer, who lost a bunch of money, who had divorces, etc. You think everything was pretty, perfect and dandy?

No, desert dwelling pyramid schemers wrote the old testament and called themselves the followers of david. Christards stole it and tried to sell it to another continent of dullards.
Jose Morgan
killing a deserving enemy isn't murder by definition, but it sounds like you think those enemies already committed evil
A "sin nature" doesn't mean everyone is a cartoon villain, it means nobody lives without sinning, to include telling a lie.
All Scripture is 1inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for 2training in righteousness; (2 Tim. 3:16 NAU)
Logan Ramirez
>You must give up everything for eternal life. Wrong. See John 3:16, Ephesians 2:8-9.
>The Weak shall inherit the Earth. It says the POOR in SPIRIT not "weak people are gonna inherit the Earth." Please re-read Matthew 5:3-12 KJV.
>All Good things come from God Yeah, you have a spirit and your spirit is able to DISCERN between right and wrong. God has given you a spirit capable of discernment. "Ok why do people still commit bad things if God has given me this spirit." Because people choose to reject or accept God's teachings. The Bible condemns rape, stealing, etc. Please re-read the 10 commandments and Please re-read Genesis 34, Judges 19-21, 2 Samuel 13.
Isaac Edwards
>Christards stole it
No. A Jew (jesus) took the ideas and expanded it and sought followers.
Christards didn't just "stole it". It was designed to be exported and so It was.
Its not stolen if the message is intentional different. The tenants of the followers of david were also based on Ideas that were around before.

The best argument for Christianity is anti Christians. To see with foulness and frothing at the mouth those who love evil and hate God is proof of his glory and righteousness
Logan Bailey

HUMAN GREED. People will manipulate others because of their sinful greed. that's why we had a separation in the church.

Levi Flores
You are apostate, although you can still return to Christ if you repent and ask to be forgiven. I urge you to do the right thing, for your soul's sake, and for those of your family members. Being a Christian was never meant to be "easy living," in this wretched world of ours. We are to be Christians for the sake of living eternally, soon to begin life in the World to Come and Heaven, instead of the damning fate of the Lake of Fire.
Chase Ross
Our spirit is to be of a child like faith. Since the weight of sins was put on Jesus and he gave us the easiest end of the deal. That's why it's humbling to be a Christian. We may suffer in THIS life but really how bad are we suffering compared to how Jesus Suffered?
Landon Wilson
Yeah but didn't God provide everything since he created everything?

I take it you haven't read the book of Johna. The book ends with Jonah accusing God:
Chapter 4 1 But this was very displeasing to Jonah, and he became angry. 2 He prayed to the Lord and said, “O Lord! Is not this what I said while I was still in my own country? That is why I fled to Tarshish at the beginning; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love, and ready to relent from punishing. 3 And now, O Lord, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live.” 4 And the Lord said, “Is it right for you to be angry?” 5 Then Jonah went out of the city and sat down east of the city, and made a booth for himself there. He sat under it in the shade, waiting to see what would become of the city.
6 The Lord God appointed a bush,[d] and made it come up over Jonah, to give shade over his head, to save him from his discomfort; so Jonah was very happy about the bush. 7 But when dawn came up the next day, God appointed a worm that attacked the bush, so that it withered. 8 When the sun rose, God prepared a sultry east wind, and the sun beat down on the head of Jonah so that he was faint and asked that he might die. He said, “It is better for me to die than to live.”
Connor Sullivan
>It also preaches that the weak shall inherit the earth which is fucking nonsense and is against nature.
No, it says "the meek shall inherit the earth." -- meek and weak are two vastly different concepts, week is a lack of power, meek is power under control.
Jace Lee
If we all farmed for ourselves then god would kill off the wicked by destroying their crops and livestock. But the devil made it so everyones food is grown or raised on massive farms so god cant punish the wicked without punishing the good. Thats why god says he comes to divide. Mother against daughter. Father against son. Do you see what the devil is doing? Hes using gods people as a meat shield.
Lincoln Flores
Remember this? “Abraham asked God if he would destroy the good people with the bad people and asked God if he would spare the city if there were 50 good people there. God agreed that he would spare the city if 50 decent people could be found.“ the devil uses the good people as a meat shield.
Mason Long
Why does god have to kill off the wicked's food? Why not just give all the wicked fatal heart attacks Death Note style? An all powerful, all knowing being has options for selectively killing those he subjectively sees as wicked.
Austin Anderson
An all powerful all knowing being would have given jesus a twitter account and the Israelites gunpowder to defeat the Islamist.s
Noah Bennett
Because gods goal isnt to kill its to convert.
Levi Perez
Thats why he gave the pharaoh multiple chances. He flooded egypt with locusts and the Pharaoh ignored the miracle. He flooded it with frogs and the Pharaoh ignored the miracle. He killed all the crops. The pharoah ignored the miracle. He made the crops grow agains and still the pharoah ignored the miracle. It was only after doing 5 or 6 miricles that god decided the Pharaoh had to die.

Millennials everywhere are mailing their semen cross country. It's a new trend, and if you take part you are considered a part of the "Cumtry Club". Upon receiving the gift, the recipient drinks the white fluid while posting a video of the act on Instagram. It began as a meme, a way for tech-savvy Millennials to have sex long-distance with friends they met over the internet. But now some Millennials are taking part, well, just to have fun. "Yeah me and some of my League of Legends buddies thought it would be kind of cool to suck each other off through the mail" says Xandar Constantine, a trans-entity from Topeka, Kansas. We met Xandar in xir backyard in a kiddy pool bathing in gallons of xir friends collected semen. But Xandar says they are still just friends.
Now some mental health experts are saying Millennials aren't drinking ENOUGH cum. Baby Boomers on average have consumed at least a football stadium's worth of semen in a lifetime, where Millennials are projected to have only consumed about a quarter of that. "It's a worrying trend" says Harvey Weinstein.
