You take the devil for God. You should consult a psychologist to deprogram the stupidities that have been put in your head

One of the main differences between Christianity and other religions is described below:

"2. Good works and the afterlife: All world religions emphasize humankind’s doing enough good works (50.001%?) to secure a place in some sort of afterlife (let’s call it heaven for shorthand). Islam, Sikhism, and Buddhism are good examples. To get to heaven requires all work, all the time! In contrast, the fullest explanation of New Testament theology says that a personal God offers salvation to people through imputed or gifted righteousness. He has to do this because humans cannot perform enough good works to be assured of their place in heaven in the presence of the thrice-holy God. After they receive this free gift of righteousness, their place in heaven becomes secure."

The source of this quote is the article I posted above.

You're not making sense.  I never mentioned the devil.   I simply asked you if you have figured out the gospel yet.  Do you understand you can't get into heaven on your own righteousness or good works?

Jesus said that you go to the Kingdom by loving your neighbor as yourself or by repenting of your sins and he gave the example of the Good Samaritan and the prodigal son and many others

This is why there are many called but few chosen, people generally do not love their neighbor as themselves but they think of themselves before others.

There is nothing in the Bible to support that claim.  Heaven is not like Sunday school.

Pat Robertson has made his share of bizarre statements, some of which he has walked back.  Other TV evangelists have often made bizarre claims as well.  

Indeed, some have made wild claims about lots of things, but those TV evangelists have made hundreds of millions from doing so by suckers who will sit in the pew and listen to their religious lies and bullshit. When it comes to any religion, it's always and forever about the money and nothing more. Everything that pretty much goes on in the world is always about the money. 🤔

Money is a big thing with the Vatican.  Read the book "The Vatican Billions" by Avro Manhattan.  You can actually read the book online.   Put "The Vatican Billions archive" in a search window and presto, you should find it and can download the pdf file and save it.   He wrote many books exposing the Vatican.  His books are out of print, but you can find some of them online at the huge online library called archive.org.  I have one of his books and found other copies for sale online for over a hundred dollars.  The Vatican accumulated billions of dollars in the past 1,500 years.  Probably the most wealthy corporation in the world.  He explains in his book how they did that.

Yes, there are some TV evangelists who have made fortunes by conning people.  Some have huge mansions worth millions of dollars, maybe tens of millions.  I heard of at least one who has a jet that he uses to get around and stays in the best hotels.  I watched a video on youtube about some of these megachurches.  Some have thousands of people that go to them and contribute.   This documentary revealed how some of them are run like businesses.  Yes, it is about the money with some of them.  Many of the people supporting them are in ignorance and don't know what is going on behind the scenes.

But aside from all that, there are some honest evangelists too.  Some are not doing it for the money

Some sacrificed their lives to go to remote backward areas of the world to take the gospel.

There is a lot of false religion in the world.  But at the same time, there is a truth that everyone should know about.  It is revealed in the King James Bible.   There have been many martyrs in past centuries who have been burned at the stake or killed in some other way for standing for the truth.   Jesus Christ certainly was not trying to make money.   He was actually God who took on a human body and was crucified, died, and rose from the dead the third day.  Read about it in the gospel of John. 

The universe did not create itself.  It took an incredibly intelligent designer Creator to create it.  The Bible says God spoke everything into existence.  He has the power because He is God.  Do you know God is a spirit that is present everywhere although he is not a part of the material uiniverse?  What we believe is of vital importance to our future.

"16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18  He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19  And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20  For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.  21  But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God."  John 3:16-21 KJV

So is this place to human beings. But yeah, sure looks like plenty of room all right. 

Interesting perspective.  Plenty of room for at least 10,000,000,000 people, probably more.

All religions in the world are constantly attacked and mocked by the lefty liberal Marxists. But one religion seems to have not been picked up on radar, and that is Judaism. Why is that? I am pretty sure that Judaism is not much better? No doubt, that religion is all about the money also. Just saying.

Zionism and the idea of colonizing Palestine originated from an atheist European Jew.

Before settling on Palestine, Zionist leaders considered other locations, such as Uganda and Argentina, for establishing a Jewish state.

Today, the connection that Zionists and their supporters attempt to draw to events from 3,000 years ago is an insult to intelligence.

Genetic studies show that European Jews have minimal connection to the ancient Israelites and Canaanites. In contrast, Palestinians have the strongest genetic link to these ancient peoples.

This is why Israel restricts DNA ancestry tracing.

It also explains why skin cancer rates are so high in Israel—European Jews are not naturally suited to the intense Middle Eastern sun.

So stop with the BS and just accept that Israel is nothing more than a European colonialist settlement project—one that has relied on ethnic cleansing to achieve what it has so far and continues to do so in pursuit of its larger goal of 'Greater Israel.'

Genetic studies show that both modern Jewish and Palestinian populations share a strong genetic link to the ancient Canaanites, suggesting a common ancestry, rather than a minimal connection for European Jews as stated. 

Here's a more detailed explanation:

• Common Ancestry:

  Genetic research indicates that modern Jewish and Palestinian populations, including those in the Middle East, share a significant genetic connection to the ancient Canaanites who inhabited the region during the Bronze and Iron Ages. 

   
• Canaanite Origins:

  The ancient Canaanites were a diverse population that lived in the Levant (modern-day Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, and parts of Syria and Jordan) from around 3000 BCE to 1200 BCE. 

   
• Genetic Studies:

  Studies analyzing ancient DNA from the remains of individuals from the Bronze and Iron Ages in the Levant have revealed that modern Jewish and Palestinian populations share a significant proportion of their genetic heritage with these ancient Canaanites. 

   
• Complex History:

  The genetic history of the region is complex, with various migrations and interactions between different groups over time. However, the evidence suggests that the ancient Canaanites played a significant role in shaping the genetic makeup of the modern populations in the region. 

   
• Not a Minimal Connection:

  The idea that European Jews have a minimal connection to the ancient Israelites and Canaanites is not supported by genetic evidence. While there are variations in genetic makeup among different Jewish populations, including those of European descent, the overall genetic link to the ancient Levant is substantial. 

   
• Examples of Studies:

  • A 2020 study published in Cell analyzed genetic material from 93 people who lived between 2500 B.C.E. and 1000 B.C.E. and whose remains were found in Israel, Lebanon, and Jordan, and compared it to samples from 17 modern populations, including European Jews and Palestinians. 
     
  • Other studies have also found that Palestinians, Israeli Bedouins, and Druze are among the closest genetic neighbors to most Jewish groups, along with some Southern Europeans.
