Daily reminder that God is real and the downfall of Christanity is directly linked to the downfall of the west
I'd like to personally thank all the Sup Forums Christian who led me to the right way
>34 y-o, baptised >never gave a fuck about religion >watch "everything is a rich man's trick" video >feel like shit, depressed >blood moon happens, feel the holy spirit and an urge to go full Christian >feel so much better. Feel like the whole world is wrong, want to spread the gospel >buy catholic version the next day; Sup Forums brothers advice to obtain King James version >obtain King James version today
So thank you all. The bible is indeed the most red-pilled book you will ever read. If everyone was a Christian, there would be no more murders, no more curruptions, no more crimes.
We would be united as humankind for once.
Again, thank you, I love you all >daily reminder that Sup Forums is a Christian board. Post your bibles folks!

Also, does anyone ''feel'' good people? When I went to buy my 1st (catholic) bible at a christian store a few days ago, this lady came to me asking if I needed help, and I felt so much positive energy when she approached me and was standing next to me... I feel like I've developped a 6th sense to detect good christians

Peace unto you.
King James Version has a beautiful vocabulary that veers towards very different definitions from it's newer brothers like the NASB and NIV.
Excellent choice.
Colton Bell
Didn't believe in god until shit with the occult started becoming more prominent and spirit cooking exposed occult rituals in the highest levels of our government. Then I started reading about the occult, and after that, I couldn't doubt that god is real and the satanists have taken over our country. God is truly on the side of Trump, and he has saved us from the devil. God is on the side of Trump.

I'm reading the KJV today. Never read the Bible before, or even felt the compulsion. But now I feel an inexplicable calling.
I think there is a spiritual wave hitting the West right now guys. What do you think?

It's not as easy as that, simply reading it doesn't solve the contradictions.
For example, what really happened on the road to Damascus? (Acts 9 vs Acts 22 vs Acts 26).
Sebastian Anderson
Do you think that the Bible and it's message can be spread to Blacks/Mestizos/Abbos/Arabs? [non Neandethral DNA basically]
I just don't see the spark in them as compassionate beings like I do whites for example (which is why Christianity is so popular amongst whites)

Of course, many of them have already adopted Christianity. Adversity breeds tribalism, in troubled times you are much more likely to identify with people within your local culture or people who look like you do.

I would suggest you came to Sup Forums seeking truth and understanding. And when it didn't give you the answers you needed to turned to religion in hope of finding some sort of understanding and peace from it. Plenty of scientists have done the same, and it's because it's what they needed, not because there's a god

So what's the context here (hearing/not hearing the voice)?
And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man. Acts 9:7
And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me. Acts 22:9

You yourself said you felt depressed and then you found the bible that's how many legit cultists find people they prey on the weak and mentally unstable.
The real "redpill" is religion is a means to an end a way for bronze age sand retards to explain diseases and the "meaning of life" and that Whites evolved though the harsh climates of Europe to be superior not though a talking snake and a human like god making us.
Cooper Ross

Tell me more about what atheism brings you, about how it benefits your your daily life.
I have witnessed ''paranormal'' incidents years ago. The moment you see something that simply cannot be scientifically explained, you become open-minded about topics that make absolutely ''no sense'' such as religion.
And even if it's all false, the general message of Christianity is to love and respect your brother. Win-Win no matter what

The Abrahamic religions need to die so the old gods can retake their rightful place.

None of this shit is in the Bible.

King James version excellent and classic. However, for context and excellent meticulous detailed scholarship and cross references, check out the Jerusalem Bible. BTW, a Christian Scientist recommended that version to me, even though the Christian Scientists favor and utilize the KJV in their formal work.

Not when it's sold as a religion. What is real is that Christianity is a blend of different and incompatible philosophies, Judaic idealism, humanism, and gnosticism. Secular brotherhood is part of humanism.

Samuel Martin

Logan Cooper
Just because something can't be simply and immediately be explained doesn't mean it's a higher being. That's one of many things I get from being an atheist (if it's even a thing, check my flag, not believing in god isn't even a thing in this country, we liberated ourselves from the church long before the EU). Being an atheist I accept that science doesn't have all the answers yet as our species goes on it's journey, and just because we don't know doesn't mean we have to stop learning there. Religion on the other hand claims to have all the answers and knowledge of the universe and a divine God
I don't have a problem with people that need faith as long as they're not radicals. Nor do I feel the need to pray to a god in the sky to lead a good and moral life. Religion on the other hand is the scourge of the Earth

>The Bible has no contradictions How about the fact that each of the four evangelists gives a different account of Jesus' death? They directly contradict eachother regarding His last words on the cross.
Mark 15:34 34 And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).[b]
35 When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he’s calling Elijah.”
36 Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down,” he said.
37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.
Luke 23:46 46 Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.”[a] When he had said this, he breathed his last.
John 19:30 30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

Some of that can be accounted for by the witnesses being closer or further away and not hearing everything. But the crucifixion itself is at the center of the deeper theological contradictions of prophecy and purpose.

Jaxon Mitchell
These so-called contradictions also happen because of faulty translation. The KJV is the worst translation. In the KJV in Acts 9:7 it says "hearing a voice" and in more modern Bibles it says "the sound of a voice." Basically, the difference is that one is HEARING A VOICE and the other is that they DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE VOICE so that's why they didn't hear anything. That's the difference between HEARING and LISTENING. Same when you HEAR a foreign language but you DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT LANGUAGE so you "hear nothing."
Carter Rogers
Then what translation is the most accurate?
Jaxon Morris
Your explanation doesn't work because Paul's companions had to understand the voice in order to be able to relate what it actually said.
Evan Scott
he's just trolling. Nobody would claim to be a ''bible pro'' and yet talk shit about the bible on Sup Forums.
Ryan Gray
It is easier for a camel to go though a needle then for a rich man to enter heaven, or something along those lines been a while since I've read the book
A black Christian and a White christian are equal where does Jesus say fuck niggers and shit I don't want them, anyway the whole new testament is mostly full of love and forgiveness etc. So of course Jesus wouldn't care what race you were as long as you followed the lord
Take the lesser evil if you have to choose between a black stealing your tv or getting shot let him steal your tv since that's the lesser evil same with him impregnating your wife
Rich men can't enter heaven same with greedy or materialistic people therefore you need to donate to those in need. Degenerate drug addicts and Africans come first to mind
All created in gods Image so all under the lord are created in his image so it's okay to racemix since we're all created in gods image.
Sure the pope kissing feet isn't in the bible but the bible is neo socialism anyway

Thousands of deities worshipped by man but the christian god is real and all the others are false.
Dominic Jones
>religion is full of contradictions Correct, I refrained from saying it. But each specific religion claims to have the answers. Which back to my original point is why it seems to attract people that are on a specific journey of "proof finding". When science or history doesn't have the answer they were seeking, instead of taking the logical approach they turn to the church because there it is in black and white, man was created by god and so was everything, case closed...
>You can't get anything useful from it unless you know how to apply reason You would have to ask people of faith that, I don't get anything useful from it so I don't know the answer to that
Owen Baker
Exactly why it's red pilled.
Jacob Hernandez
These are not contradictions. These are different accounts from different witnesses standing nearby of what they heard. Luke wrote his Gospel 20 years later with the help of other witnesses around Jesus at the time. Luke didn't want to create another copy of Matthew, Mark and John so he left out unnecessary details they had already included in their gospels and he included details that were not included in their gospels. All of them are true, it's just that they didn't want to copy each other so left out obvious details the others included.

I need advice.
I have been exploring the Bible and Christianity ... I read the Gospels, and then I started to pray. I realized my previous renunciation of my faith in God was really a renunciation of my personal responsibility. That was the burden I felt relief from when I decided to give it up.
But now I am reading the Bible and praying and my gf is going to break up with me. To be fair this did come out of nowhere, I started reading for literary not religious reasons and now I've been compelled by the Gospels... She is not religious, having also renounced her faith in her teenage years. But she doesn't want to be with a Christian.
What do?
Nolan White
Yeah and what good is a sword if you have to turn the other cheek?
And "later addition" is no excuse, it is still a part of your "holy" book.

It did not come out of nowhere. No woman that truely loves you would break-up with you because you want to become a Christian. I think she's only using it as an excuse to finally dump you

They didn't want to copy eachother? Are they competing for the top slot on the New York Time's best sellers list? Giving the account of Jesus' death on the cross is only literally the most important event of all time, I wouldn't think there's a need to take creative liberties when recounting it.

Easton Flores
I'm not a bible pro but I do study a lot of theological stuff.
My take on Ecclesiastes is that it is a snapshot of Solomon's mind as he was turning to apostasy. Solomon was blessed with Wisdom from God to rule justly as per his wish (which pleased God) yet he still turned to other Gods by the end of his kingship due to being corrupted by his hundreds of Pagan wives.
Ecclesiastes is different from Proverbs (another set of Solomonic writings, the first 10 or so I believe) in that the writings in Ecc. are decidedly and entirely human concerns. It's approaching life from a human level of enjoyment and fulfillment and God's perspective/teaching is conspicuously absent. Solomon died an apostate and Israel was punished for his turning them away by splitting the kingdom (which was never fully restored). The absolute number one sin of all time is worshiping other gods (it is constantly brought up all through Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Judges especially, Samuel etc), and I think Solomon's wisdom while initially attuned to God became more focused on worldly matters since he was such a famous, successful, and renowned king. His hundreds of wives and all his glory made him dull to life's true, main purpose—honoring and glorifying God, walking in his statutes, and teaching your children the same.
So my take is that Ecclesiastes is a way for an incredibly smart man to reconcile his own boredom, while showing a creeping influence from his Pagan wives. Anything Solomon wrote would be considered sacred by the ancient Jews; he was the last great king of Israel, son of David, and so the canonicity of his writings wouldn't be in question, even if they deviated from God. Not that Ecclesiastes is heretical or unprofound, mind. Just that some of the strange, defeatist, humanist tone might be explained by examining who Solomon ultimately became towards his latter reign.
William Gray
Everyone I know who has parents of different religions is atheist, with some exceptions for people who have a Christian mother and atheist father. Consider if you'd want this.
Asher Long
The four gospels all give us multiple witness accounts of the events of Jesus life in great details. There's no point in writing each a gospel if there all just going to Xerox one another. The point is to include as many details as possible without going on a long-run in paragraphs. If one wants to know details they can go to another gospel.
Paul's companions never did relate what was actually said. It was only Paul who on three different occasions said what he heard. Once again, it was Luke who wrote Acts along with the Gospel of Luke. Luke didn't want to repeat himself or Xerox Paul's words over and over again.
Justin Gutierrez

Brayden Ross
Interesting. I appreciate the insight.
Ryder Price
>Paul's companions never did relate what was actually said
Wrong. Paul wrote the later part of Acts but not the earlier part. If Paul has written acts 9:4 he would have used a personal pronoun like he did in Acts 22:7.
And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? Acts 9:4
And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? Acts 22:7

Okay so let me ask you this,cause I'm honestly curious.
So how does God/Christianity account for the millions upon millions of chances that led to each and everyone of the followers? Every couple that got together and had a baby on this specific day and this person teaching that person about the Bible, and it migrating across countries over thousands of years, completely skipping over a bunch. What about all the millions and millions of people who were never even exposed to it, through no fault of their own? Are they fucked? Apparently God loves everyone and wants people to believe and follow him or he wouldn't punish them when they don't. That apparently includes black peoples but they wouldn't even have the religion if they were slaves and had horrible lives that completely ruined Them.
And why should of God expect me to just decide Christianity is the correct one? Which sect? What about Judaism or Islam or literally a million different other religions that claim they are the correct one? They all have millions and millions of supports so what am I supposed to just go off my gut? And if I choose wrong I'm fucked?
Honestly, if that's the way it is, that's no God I want to follow.
Brandon Sanders
What are you talking about? Luke wrote all of the Acts of the Apostles. This time you are making a mistake in perspectives. The first is a 3rd person perspective while the second is a narrative voice in the 3rd person point of view.
