I answered a series of common criticisms.
I’m bisexual and have different opinions on religion than others. Anyone want to save me? My personal view on religion is that god created the earth six or seven billion years ago and hasn’t interfered since. I believe god looks less like a bearded jehova and more of a biblically actuate angel, except more grand.
In order for there to have been billions of years, they have to have taken place after the time of Christ, since Scripture is clear on how many years were from the creation of earth until the time of Christ. From the creation of earth until Christ is approximately four thousand years. We can't be sure how long it's been since then, but many believe it to be two thousand years approximately.
Bold of you to assume that Christ is part of this scenario. I believe Christ existed. But he wasn’t important.
It is bold i indeed. May He save you.
I generally respect the Christian faith. What I don’t respect is when people use the name of god to push their own opinions. If I go to hell, it’s going to be for my actions, not my beliefs. Christianity will keep getting disrespected if people like you keep acting this way.
Scripture is clear that people go to hell for both their beliefs and their actions, ii and that believers will be hated by the world.
If god loves everyone, then why is he so hateful?
God hates everyone and sends people that He loves to hell.
At some point, the wrath of billions of damned souls shall become more powerful than any divine beings.
It will never be more powerful than God, and it will never be full. iii
Two thousand years of the interpretation of god words being translated thousands of times.
God preserves His Word, even in the hands of the wicked. iv
Saving people shouldn’t mean hurting them. Gay conversion therapy. What about the past one thousand and five hundred years of antisemitism in Europe?
Who is being hurt by being saved? Nobody in our church is doing conversion therapy. Our position is that most churches are not in the truth, and that most self described Christians are not saved.
You’re simply one of many churches saying they can save people. You speak as if you are superior to the other churches yet wallow in the court of your ignorance. The scripture is faulty due to the fact that it’s been translated thousands of times.
Compare what we say and what they say to what Scripture says. v If we have something wrong, please show me with Scripture. We go by the original Greek Hebrew and Aramaic, but even the English translations like NKJV are fine for the most part. God preserves His Word. vi
You have good intentions. But they are perverted by your subconscious sin that dwells in your mind. I could shoot you point blank in the face, and when you got out of the hospital you’d say that it was the miracle of god; not simply modern medicine. I’m going to go masturbate because it’s god’s plan for me.
We all have evil intentions, vii and God causes few viii to turn from it. ix I would say that God caused you to do it, that He caused me to be healed by the modern medicine, and that I am thankful for the whole ordeal. x It's not wrong to masturbate, but everything is wrong to those who lack belief. xi
- Proverbs 28:
The wicked flee when no one pursues,
But the righteous are bold as a lion. - John 5:
28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice 29 and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.

- Proverbs 27:
20 Hell and Destruction are never full;
So the eyes of man are never satisfied. - Jeremiah 2:
8 The priests did not say, ‘Where is the Lord?’
And those who handle the law did not know Me;
The rulers also transgressed against Me;
The prophets prophesied by Baal,
And walked after things that do not profit.Bold added. ^
- Acts 17:
11 These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.
- Psalm 12:
6 The words of the Lord are pure words,
Like silver tried in a furnace of earth,
Purified seven times.
7 You shall keep them, O Lord,
You shall preserve them from this generation forever. - Genesis 6:
5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
- Matthew 7:
13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
- 1 Peter 3:
10 For
“He who would love life
And see good days,
Let him refrain his tongue from evil,
And his lips from speaking deceit.
11 Let him turn away from evil and do good;
Let him seek peace and pursue it. - Ephesians 5:
20 giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
- Proverbs 28:
9 One who turns away his ear from hearing the law,
Even his prayer is an abomination.
Please correct me if I’m mistaken, did you not say in another thread that you support Donald Trump? If not, then I’m in error. However, if I’m not in error, may I ask why do you support someone who has lied about Covid vaccines being “safe” when they have killed people? Moreover, he was documented since losing power that they’re safe. Yet, does not God also say this about liars and murderers - such as Matthew 5:21 ESV -
“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’
Exodus 20:13 ESV -
“You shall not murder.
Leviticus 24:17 ESV -
“Whoever takes a human life shall surely be put to death.
1 John 3:15 ESV -
Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
Matthew 5:21-22 ESV - “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’ But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire.
John 8:44 ESV -
You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
Proverbs 6:16-19 ESV -
There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.
Revelation 21:8 ESV -
But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
What then of this -
1 Peter 4:15
New King James Version
15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a [a]busybody in other people’s matters.
Though the Word says 1 Timothy 2:1-4 ESV -
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Romans 13:1 ESV - Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.
Yet does not the Word also say -
Psalm 94:20 ESV -
Can wicked rulers be allied with you, those who frame injustice by statute?
Proverbs 29:2 ESV -
When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan.
Daniel 2:21
New International Version
21 He changes times and seasons;
he deposes kings and raises up others.
He gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the discerning.
Is it evil for a Christian to support someone who continues to lie and promote things which have been documented to kill people? Does that make the latter liar a murderer? Is it also just for a Christian to condemn a wicked ruler who lies and murders the people, though God has put him in that place of authority and He can depose them?
You are mistaken.
