You are like the boastful pharisee bragging about your life. Boathouse, lake property, wife and all the work you have done.

Think on it friend, it’s bad for your soul to be that way.


You are trying to reason with people about a book that has so many contradictions that everyone can be right no matter which side of a subject they are on. It’s quite funny that the ones that will give their life for a book would laugh at any other religion that followed a book with so many contradictions. Just ask them and they will tell you that there are no contradictions in the Bible. Once you realize the brainwashing that one has been through to say something like that when they can read it for themselves then you realize it is a lost cause. Good luck my friend I was once on that side and it is almost impossible to break that brainwashing.

😂 actually, I didn’t work for it all, used inheritance money😂
Good for you. I inherited poverty and dysfunction.
Blessed are you who are poor,
for yours is the kingdom of God.
21 Blessed are you who hunger now,
for you will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who weep now,
for you will laugh.
22 Blessed are you when people hate you,
when they exclude you and insult you
and reject your name as evil,
because of the Son of Man.
23 “Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets.
24 “But woe to you who are rich,
for you have already received your comfort.
25 Woe to you who are well fed now,
for you will go hungry.
Woe to you who laugh now,
for you will mourn and weep.
26 Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you,
for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets.


In Christianity your privilege is considered a hindrance on your salvation. Enjoy your tacos bud.

You make some valid points, but I really think you missed the whole idea that everyone is brainwashed about something.
We just live through several years of people, pretending locking yourself in the house, putting a piece of paper over your face standing 6 feet apart, and taking medicine that, even after it was shown to not do the majority of what they said it would do, and that did not have any testing would save you I from illness and death I would call that a religion of faith.

I don’t think me, believing in an afterlife is near as bad is someone manipulating my life to live through their religion that I just described. 🤷‍♂️

So you value this world more than the afterlife?

what you should be most concerned about is modern day Pharisees driving people away from Jesus by wanting to place the laws of Moses in schools and condemning others for their sins.
They are turning Jesus into a weapon to bludgeon others with instead of a savior.

Why would you want to place the Ten Commandments anywhere if you are truly a Christian?

Why wouldn’t you want to place Jesus’s teaching about the wealthy and his apostles teaching about grace instead? Why wouldn’t you want to teach equality in our sinful nature and to love thy neighbor? That would go over much better with the new generation if you really cared about getting them to go with god.

So your belief that you have a spirit/soul come from the Bible?

My belief that I have a spirit/soul come from God.
And who do you think inspired the Bible? I'm not fortunate enough to receive direct dispensation so I have to rely on God's word. Considering the things you support I suspect the voice you're hearing is a different God than the one of the Bible.

Nope just pointing out living in yourfake reality has real consequences. Me having a personal relationship with God, I believe in affects you not at all.

Other than you can’t stop talking about it, of course😂

Brainwashing to me is believing something that no matter how much evidence someone gives you, you still can’t break away from a certain way of thinking. This goes for COVID and religion. Look at the people that no matter how much evidence you give them about the whole COVID thing they will just turn around and say the reason they think it was all good and necessary. Brainwashing will have fear and rewards with it to sink it in so deep people will go along with it. Something COVID and religion both has.
The COVID cult I never fell for. I have to admit I fell for the religion cult but that was because I was in it from childhood and if I would not of started asking questions about things that didn’t make sense I would of stayed there. When I was in it I thought that was where I would want to be no matter what, but everyone that is in a cult thinks that or else they wouldn’t be in it.

I’m good with that, but like I said, the Covid cult actually affect you and everyone even force people to do things. You were free to leave Christianity as you said, so yourself, which is just fine your choice.

You know what's interesting? The Book of Acts details how the first Christians held everything in common. With all the bitter vitriol from the atheist socialists it would seem they never realized that there was common ground with Christianity. Jesus never died so that we could all live in big houses and drive luxury vehicles. Of course Paul once spoke of taking up a collection for the poor saints in Jerusalem in Corinthians. It would seem that initial religious ferver had consequences.

It must be an unbearable weight seeing through all the scams of life with such clarity. I think I'll go with what Jerry Falwell once said. That if at the end of his life he found there was no God, no Jesus, his life was still immeasurably better because of Christianity.

If the world manages to extinguish Christianity I would hate to see what kind of world we'd have.

It certainly does when you attempt to become a Pharisee, that’s why they are condemned so much in the Bible. The democrats on make it harder in this life, republicans make it harder for everyone in the next life as well as this life for the poor. They drive people away from god when they preach like Pharisees did and want to place knowing the Ten Commandments above knowing Jesus.

13 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to

15 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are.

23 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. 24 You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.

25 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. 26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.

27 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs,which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. 28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.

29 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophetsand decorate the graves of the righteous. 30 And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ 31 So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets.32 Go ahead, then, and complete what your ancestors started!

33 “You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? 34 Therefore I am sending you prophets and sages and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town. 35 And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 Truly I tell you, all this will come on this generation.

37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. 38 Look, your house is left to you desolate. 39 For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’”

Quite a ramble.
I think I read republican in that cringe worthy post. Are you a republican? if you are I’m sorry.
Also, I think you might need to take a step back from posting you might be having a slight nervous breakdown.

Do you believe Jesus had no standards we are to live by? Over and over I and others have pointed out that when we come up short we are to ask for forgiveness and move on. God looks upon the heart. He knows the sincerity. And he made it very clear that compared to the masses who lose their souls relatively few will make it into heaven. So if you're saying that it doesn't matter what you do, you're going to heaven anyways, you're saying something not supported by Scripture.

I merely typed a page then copy and pasted.

Forgot the source though.

The Bible is a pretty rambling book.

That’s great but I’m not sure why. Like I said, you just can’t stop talking about it. It’s curious and a little unsettling. You don’t seem well-adjusted for someone who says they have a firm grasp on what they believe.

Grace is heavily supported by scripture.
That whole Pharisee rant is pointing out none of those people will make it to heaven if they do not accept Jesus as lord no matter how much works they do or how much laws they obey.

Christianity really is a radical ideology when it comes to equality and socialism.
