But all of these things mean NOTHING...for NONE of you BELIEVE who He claimed to BE...Why would a grand huge being care about what us little insignificant beings thought........It is a very small small god that would think that way...That way of thinking is Ego based and is flawed like human thought, this is why the god you talk about is not what god is...It's thoughts are like man kinds thoughts. Super inflated ego problems with insecurities about it's own worth. If anyone needs something other than to be complete with it's self then it is needy and a god being needy is NOT a god. And your god NEEDS worship or else....dum de dum dum...
My own "kind" would not argue with me...for we are ONE...ONE Faith...ONE Lord...ONE Baptism.
No, it's only your denomination....What about these others..

They WENT OUT FROM US, but THEY WERE NOT OF US: for IF THEY HAD BEEN OF US, THEY WOULD no doubt HAVE CONTINUED WITH US: but THEY WENT OUT, that THEY MIGHT BE MADE MANIFEST that THEY WERE NOT ALL OF US" [1 John 2:18-19].
Hey Debb you're the antichrist!
Can we switch the adjectives that marchy uses to describe us? (all marchello says to me is that I'm wrong, I've never been called an Antichrist or something cool like that.)
*["True faith is being a blind sheep that never questions what he's told by his pastor or parents?..."]
***The FAITH of sheep is NOT blind...for sheep will NOT follow a shepherd whose "voice" they do NOT recognize..."VERILY, VERILY, I say unto you, He that entereth NOT by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the SAME is a THIEF and a ROBBER. But he that entereth in by the DOOR is the Shepherd of the sheep. To Him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear His voice: and He calleth His OWN sheep by NAME, and LEADETH them out. And when He putteth forth His OWN sheep, He goeth BEFORE them, and the sheep follow Him: for the KNOW HIS VOICE. And a STRANGER they will NOT follow, but will FLEE from him: for they KNOW NOT the VOICE of STRANGERS...VERILY, verily, I say unto you: I am the DOOR of the sheep; by ME if any man enter in, he shall be SAVED, and shall go in and out, and find pasture" [John 10:1-5, 9].
So, again, your are greatly mistaken...NOT knowing God nor the Scriptures that you might be saved.

😂
I guess I just made the "Cool" list........ 😱
What some don't realize is that the 12 tribes of Israel are named after the Hebrew zodiac signs, the bible is largely written in Hebrew and the letters of that alphabet are the names of the signs, planets and constellations - therefore the very foundations of the bible are Astrological. Finally the discovery in 1947 of the Dead Sea Scrolls, raises the question, why has so little of the material been published? It is strange that all the papyri relating to astrology and spirit has been suppressed.
Sooooo it begs one to wonder, what are the Christians really worshiping.
[edit] Sheep are very stupid animals, they will eat themselves to death or even drink themselves to death, and the saying is true, if one jumps off a cliff the others will follow.......

My lying, filthy mouth? Saying the same lie over and over again doesn't make you right despite you seeming to think it does. The Catholic church IS christianity. Just because people decided to break away from it and make their own cults doesn't mean catholics aren't christians. As Adam said, your bible came from them. You built your rules off theirs...you just did the same thing they did over the previous 1500 in less time. You made up your rules to coincide with the scripture, but failed to take anything that wasn't cathollic into consideration.
*["Hey Debb you're the antichrist!"]
***No...she is NOT THE "antichrist"...but only one of MANY who will arise in the last days before the Coming of My Great God and Saviour Jesus Christ. You and she blaspheme and denigrate Him at every opportunity on this board...and WILL NOT acknowledge Him as your God and Saviour...but when THE Antichrist comes...you WILL acknowledge and WORSHIP him...and be thrown into the Lake of Fire at our Lord's Second Coming...That is a CERTAINTY!

The scriptures have never come on to KMC and said I was wrong. The closest to that happening is you posting scripture and then claiming that it makes me wrong while ignoring that it is only by your interperetation.

Unless an argument is specifically about scripture, your use of scripture is not relevant. That is why there are so many objections to your use of scripture.
*["Unless an argument is specifically about scripture, your use of scripture is not relevant. That is why there are so many objections to your use of scripture."]
***Nay...the use of Scripture is relevant at all times...for it is the standard by which we, as Christians, live and have our being. Too, "it is profitable for DOCTRINE...for REPROOF...for CORRECTION...for INSTRUCTION in righteousness...that the man of God may be PERFECT, throughly furnished unto all good works" [2 Timothy 3:16-17]. Also, the reason that the use of Scripture is ALWAYS relevant...is because it gives us the ANSWERS for our FAITH and a READY answer to unbelievers such as yourself.

Spoken like a real papist. The Roman Catholic Church is responsible for the MURDER and TORTURE of untold MILLIONS of people during the INQUISITION...has NEVER apologized for her atrocities against humanity...and has NEVER abolished the office of the INQUISITION to this very day! Too, they expelled MILLIONS of Jews from Spain in 1492 under Ferdinand & Isabella...and TAXED them for being expelled...and confiscated all of their properties...all under the dictates of the Roman Catholic Church [who threatened the monarches with EXCOMMUNICATION if they refused to obey!). DON'T talk to me about TYRANNY...the Roman church is the AUTHOR of it.
That is very true Marcello...the Catholic Church has been responsible for such gruesome horrors, it's not even funny....
Are the Protestants any better though?
Protestants committed:
-The Salem Witch Trials, an era of terror where the New Church ordered the burning of women who were accused of worshipping the occult. These women were tried by being tortured until they finally admitted they were witches....afterward, they were burnt at the stake.
-Slavery of Africans- Although the catholics started it, Protestants continued to use and justify slavery in America by arguing that Sin is Darkness. Since black people have naturally dark skin, they were seen as SO sinful, putting them in a level below human. They were seen as only being worthy of punishment and submission, which was why the slavery upon them was unquestioned.
-Near Extinction of Native Americans- it was Protestant men who engaged in the wars and conquering of the early Americas, nearly wiping out all native americans, not to mention wasting and burning plenty of resources and much of the history of thier culture. Protestants of early United States had also stolen Texas and other states from Mexico....
-Racism- many Protestants in power has contributed to the oppression of Blacks after the Emancipation. The racism and hate was so powerful, that even Catholics were abhorred by it.
Now....should this matter now ? Should Protestants be held responsible for thier historical crimes ? No, not at all.
But neither should Catholics.....if you want to condem Catholics for thier violent history, then you shouldn't ignore the history of Protestants either ❌
As Christ said, before you go looking for the splinter in someone else's eye, remove the plank from your own. 🙂

Hence, why the use of scripture is not relevant unless an argument is specifically about scripture; because scripture is only relevant to Christians.
The Bible is as relevant to a non-Christian in an argument, as The Qur'an is to you.

It's mythology from a bygone era... It's no more of a certainty than "Ragnarok."
Satan is a liar. He's also a coward.Thats all I really can say about that loser.
2 Peter 2: 10-12
This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority.Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings; yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
*["Where does your god jesus clain to be god? Even if he did make the claim why should we believe it?"]
***Jesus Christ is unique in the fact that He ALONE claimed to be God in human flesh. A common misconception is that some or many of the world's religions made similar claims...but this is simply NOT the case.
Buddha did not claim to be God...Moses never said that he was Yahweh...Muhammad did not identify himself as Allah...and nowhere will you find Zoroaster claiming to be Ahure Mazda. Yet Jesus, the carpenter from Nazareth, said that He [Jesus] has seen the Father [John 14:9].
The claims of Christ are many and varied. He said that He existed BEFORE Abraham [John 8:58]...that He was EQUAL TO the Father [John 5:17, 18]...could FORGIVE sins [Mark 2:5-7], which the Bible teaches is something ONLY God could do [Isaiah 43:25].
The N.T. equated Jesus to the CREATOR of the universe [John 1:3]...that He holds everything together [Colossians 1:17]. The Apostle Paul says that God was manifest in the FLESH [1 Timothy 3:16]...and John says that "the WORD was God" [John 1:1]. The united testimony of Jesus Christ and the writers of the NT is that He was MORE than a MERE MAN...He WAS GOD.
Not only did His friends notice that He claimed to be God...but so did His ENEMIES. There may be some doubt today among the skeptics who REFUSE to examine the EVIDENCE...but there was NO DOUBT on the part of the Jewish authorities.
When Jesus asked them why they wanted to stone Him, they replied, "For a good work we do not stone you, but for BLASPHEMY; and because you, being a man, make YOURSELF OUT TO BE GOD" [John 10:33]!!
This fact separates Jesus Christ FROM the other religious figures of history. In the major religions of the world, the teachings...not the teacher...are all-important. However, at the center of Christianity is the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus did NOT just claim to be teaching the TRUTH...He claimed He WAS the TRUTH [John 14:6].
What Jesus taught is NOT the most important aspect of Christianity...but it is WHO Jesus IS. Was He the Son of God?...Is He the ONLY way a person can reach God? THIS was the CLAIM He made for HIMSELF.
Yes, Jesus claimed to be God. Why should anyone believe it? After all...merely claiming to be something does not make it true. Where's the evidence that Jesus is God?
The Bible gives various reasons...including miracles and fulfilled prophecy, that are intended to convince us that Jesus is the one whom He said He was [John 20:30, 31]. The main reason, or the sign which Jesus Himself said would demonstrate the He was the Son of God...was His RESURRECTION from the DEAD.
When asked for a SIGN from the religious leaders, Jesus replied, "For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale, so will the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth" [Matthew 12:40]. In another place He said, when asked for a sign, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will RAISE IT UP...but He spake of the temple of His body" [John 2:19, 21]. The ability to RAISE His life back from the DEAD was the SIGN that SEPARATES Him not only from ALL other religious leaders...but also from ANYONE else that EVER LIVED.
Anyone wishing to refute the case for Christianity must explain away the story of the RESURRECTION. Therefore, according to the Scriptures, Jesus proves to be the Son of God by coming back from the DEAD [Romans 1:4]. The evidence is overwhelming that Jesus DID RISE FROM THE GRAVE...proving He IS God...and because He IS God, He WILL also raise me [and ALL my fellow believers IN Him] unto Life ETERNAL.
