I don't care what Christian "club" you claim membership in. You are a humanist. Christianity is Christ-centric Not Human-Centric. And Christ was at the beginning with God. No religion is "far older" than Him.

No religion is "far older" than Him. Phat, I do not claim membership; I am a registered member in a recognized Christian Sect. Please stop posting silly falsehoods. Jesus can be discussed because Jesus is a character in Christian mythos. The Bible says that Jesus was conceived by a human mother and that Jesus became man. I am simply pointing out what is written. The whole concept of the Trinity does not appear in the Bible and where mention of God or Jesus or the Holy Spirit are mentioned they are mentioned as separate and unique identities. It even says that after Jesus ascended he will sit at the right hand of God. There is no indication of Jesus existing in any of the Old Testament. Further almost all religions are older than Christianity. Christianity and Islam are the new kids on the block. And the issue we were discussing, the charge to do what is right and try not to do what is wrong is common to almost every religion ever created by man. It is the basics of Buddhism which was taught hundreds of years before Jesus was born. It was taught by Judaism hundred or thousands of years before Jesus was born. Reality trumps belief and dogma Phat. Edited by jar, : appalin spallin

How am I bleating? Scripture clearly tells us that Jesus was in the beginning and that through Him all things were created. This includes all of your precious evidence that exists, every story and idea told by humans through recorded history, every star, planet, and quark (or cat in a fridge) that any science mind ever conceived of.....EVERYTHING. You are free of course not to believe it. But lest you worry about us loons, we are doing what Jesus said to do. What irritates the secular mindset on earth is that we also tell them that Jesus is the only way. They would prefer we shut up, feed people quietly, and keep our beliefs to ourselves.

I am simply pointing out what is written. Granted. I know you and know that you are not evil. You may be an unwitting tool of the enemy, however. Do you want to know why?

Read what you quoted. You said that Christianity is Christ-centered, not human-centered. That's the bleating of an apologist- trained non-thinker. The only reason He came to earth was because of humans.
How am I bleating? Phat writes:
That's far from clear. It's just a bumper-sticker that you've been trained to parrot.
Scripture clearly tells us that Jesus was in the beginning and that through Him all things were created. Phat writes:
There is no evidence that Jesus even existed.
This includes all of your precious evidence that exists.... Phat writes:
Do you hear yourself? If there was evidence, I would not be free to disregard it.
You are free of course not to believe it. Phat writes:
No you're not. You're denying what He said to do.
But lest you worry about us loons, we are doing what Jesus said to do. Phat writes:
No. What annoys me is that you ignore the refutation of that claim and keep repeating it as if it made sense.

jar writes: Lets examine your claim. First, lets define who these three groups that you mention are. Much of US Christianity, all of the Apologists and all of the CCoI are tools of the Antichrist. 1) Much of U.S. Christianity(Christians, I am assuming). This is supported by scripture. You, ringo, and myself can agree that most Christians just dont get it...or they get it but don't do it. You would go even further than I would, however, and claim that "doing it" can be done by anyone. We three have discussed this before at Message 298 note the replies after my comments. I disagree with your idea that feeding and clothing people is enough...but I can accept the idea that Jesus commands us to do this. I can also accept your belief that some will unknowingly do this because it is the right thing to do. They may not even know God or believe in Him, but they are doing what Jesus commanded. My point still stands, however. If Heaven exists, it won't simply be a giant all-inclusive social club where one could waltz in the door smoking a cigarette. You two are free to challenge my belief. 2) ALL Of The Apologists. Why? Just because you disagree with the message that Accepting Christ and becoming transformed by the renewing of your mind is nothing more than a sales pitch in no way proves that it is. Pastor Isaiah Saldivar preached a good sermon on the state of the church in the U.S. recently and I agreed with it. Likely few if any of you will bother listening to it. Our worldviews are mile apart.
We Are Making God Sick. I don't agree with your all-inclusive religion...I think it is heading towards a globalist consensus which I feel will be the wrong approach for humanity. You are also free to disagree and challenge my beliefs, and it appears that our positions are dead set against each other.

If you believe that, you will fall for the false religion and global plans of the Antichrist. The invention of this antichrist and his global ambitions which you are determined to spill so much blood over is one strong reason your christianity is such a danger to our species. Your little cult gets to determine who/what this antichrist is. You are so determined to make war against it based solely on your emotional reactions to a situation. Each cult in your religion chooses its own antichrist as a target for global war other religions, other political systems, other societies, other christian cults. The whole body of christendom ends up seeing the antichrist everywhere, hating and making war on everyone. You suffer the same bloodlust disease of superiority that islam does that all religions do.
