Supporting equal rights should have been the final objective, what consenting adults do in their own bedrooms is no one else's business, but for some reason the LGBTQ crowd wants to propagandize children now. I can understand the message of "it's ok to feel whatever it is that you're feeling right now, just be open minded about yourself and others, see where it goes", but the message seems to be "if you have the slightest doubt about your sexuality then you're definitely gay and you must act on it NOW, while you're still in grade 3! Try not to be a cis-gender devil!" Very few conservatives are at that point, and not all leftists, but the wingnut crowd is taking up a lot of the oxygen in the room right now. Check out Senata Skank: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10988763/Democrat-Rhode-Island-state-senator-28-DEFENDS-video-twerking-upside-down.html She even brags about talking specifics to school children about sexuality. She doesn't realize that as a US senator her actions represent a whole country, in no small way. The bar for young women just keeps getting lower and lower. Dumpster sex in grade 3 will be normal soon if we keep going at this rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constantine one of the most significant gospels thrown out was the Book of Enoch it was the most popular with the masses it is the gospel where the story of the Devil comes from the Devil was called Samyaza he was the leader of a group of Angels called the Watchers Samyaza and the Watchers rebel against God, by mating with human females this is the actual "War in Heaven" the modern view of who the Devil is, actually comes from John Milton's fan fiction story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sorry to say I don't think you know what you are talking about. You and Dougie are totally way off base.. Sorry but you guys are way out of your league. Maybe come on here with a more humble attitude willing to receive information and learn something instead of just throwing out nonsense. That would serve you better. Just trying to win brownie points on a forum by speaking nonsense won't cut it for anyone who knows the truth. The King James Bible was or is a translation for the English speaking people produced in the UK in 1611 for the obvious reason that nobody spoke Greek and Hebrew and nobody has the Greek and Hebrew manuscripts. So a good English translation was needed for the people. The KJV was based on the Received Text, the best manuscripts available which have proven to be accurate. It has been used by hundreds of millions of people around the world in the last 400 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely never even read much of the Bible. Talking complete nonsense. 1. Christianity started on the day of Penticost. Read the book of Acts. 2. There were early Christians of course before Constantine legalized Christianity in 312 A.D. He had nothing to do with "canonizing" the New Testament. The New Testament was written in the first 100 years after Christ was crucified and rose from the dead. 3. The acceptance of the New Testament was a process of recognizing it was inspired over a period of a few hundred years. Other "gospels" or writing that are not in the N.T. were not accepted as legitimate inspired Holy Scriptures and that is why they were not included. 4. The point of the N.T. was God communicating to mankind the gospel of Jesus Christ. Nothing to do with uniting the Roman Empire.

He said "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" Matthew 27:46 Forsaken does not mean he was doubting the existence of God. “And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46, KJV). This cry is a fulfillment of Psalm 22:1, one of many parallels between that psalm and the specific events of the crucifixion. It is difficult to understand in what sense Jesus was “forsaken” by God. It is certain that God approved His work. It is certain that Jesus was innocent. He had done nothing to forfeit the favor of God. As God’s own Son—holy, harmless, undefiled, and obedient—God still loved Him. In none of these senses could God have forsaken Him. The prophet Isaiah says this about the Messiah: “Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed” (Isaiah 53:4–5). Jesus redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us (Galatians 3:13). He was made a sin-offering, and He died in our place, on our account, that He might bring us near to God. It was this, doubtless, that intensified His sufferings and part of why Jesus said, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” It was the manifestation of God’s hatred of sin, in some unexplained way, that Jesus experienced in that terrible hour. The suffering He endured was due to us, and it is that suffering by which we can be saved from eternal death. In those awful moments, as evil men were allowed to do whatever they wanted to Jesus, our Lord expressed His feelings of abandonment. God placed the sins of the world on His Son, and Jesus for a time felt the desolation of being unconscious of His Father’s presence. It was at this time that “God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God” (2 Corinthians 5:21). There is another possible reason for Jesus to cry out, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” It could be that Jesus’ intent in quoting Psalm 22:1 was to point His hearers to that psalm. When they read Psalm 22, they would no doubt see the many fulfilled prophecies included in that song of David. Even while experiencing the agony of the cross, Jesus was teaching the crowds and proving yet again that He was the Messiah who fulfilled the Scriptures.

Those who mock it or invent their own religion or own truth, well, what can one say. God is the judge. You make it sound like there’s perfect agreement and clarity over what the Bible says humanity must do. There are certainly indisputable kernels, but there are conflicting views. Sometimes obeying one commandment can seem like disobeying another one. Free will is fundamental, however, because without it people are essentially programmed robots without choice or agency. Much of the Bible is stories about enslavement and liberation. Following the commandments is the key to entering the promised land, but as we see with the Pharisees, one can follow commandments and still lack love or understanding of the spirit of the law, as Jesus reminds us. When governments try to play the role of God, telling us how to think and live, stripping us of rights, and banishing freedom of thought, speech, religion, etc., well that’s the story of the Tower of Babel. We saw this in the Soviet Union and still see it in places like North Korea and China. Edited July 17, 2022 by Zeitgeist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God spoke to the Apostles and Prophets. Once the Bible was completed there was no more men who could legitimately claim to receive God's words. The Bible verifies that and warns against anyone adding to or taking away from the words of the Bible. There were only one set of Apostles. After they passed away, no more genuine Apostles existed.
