Christian disscussion thread

[Mavorpen]

Meet Ende, who feels the need to whine about things I've never said.

Sheesh.

Jokes never work on the internet.

They do, it just wasn't a very good joke.

Hey, I was just asking. Christ is a name, jesus is a name, Yahweh is name. Therye all names.

Christ is a description, Jesus is a name, Yahweh is THE name above all names (and probably on of the simplest)

Christ is a title, it means messiah. Now it has wound up referring primarily to Jesus the Christ, the Christ Jesus, Jesus the Nazarean, etc.

Interesting to read, and if you read the Bible its fun to point out easter eggs and grammer/spelling mistakes.

Wait, there are easter eggs? Where! Tell me one!

GENISIS 1:6

And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

God's so badass he can divide something from itself.

There's a second sea above the sky.

Omnibadass?

Or maybe there's a lake within the ocean. What's it called? Goo Lagoon of course.

I understand it as describing where rain comes from.

I wouldn't say the Tanakh (The complete "Jewish Bible") is shitty or boring mythology.

The Book of Ecclesiastes is very philosophical, not referring much to any religious matters really.

I've read better.

Sorry I just had to

Those are real.

It's a pretty good explanation for someone who doesn't know about evaporation and condensation. These kind of "just so" stories always appeal to me.

Because Darwin didn't create atheism. Or found it. Or really form atheist ideology, since there is no unified atheist ideology other than the rejection of belief in a deity.

Well Yahweh didnt found or create Christianity. The disciples of Jesus Christ did.

...

You don't believe Christ founded Christianity?

You also obviously don't believe Jesus Christ was God, since that would mean Yahweh (incorrect spelling, I'm sure) did found Christianity.

You're definitely not converting to Christianity any time soon.

This passage in Scripture is referring to the separation of the "waters below", which are the oceans and the "waters above", which probably refers to a vapour canopy that surrounded the antediluvian Earth. Prior to the Great Flood of Noah there would have been no rain, but when the Flood occurred vast amounts of water would have been released from this water canopy.

Yahweh is the Jewish God. And frankly Christ didnt found it, he was a Jew, his disciples wrote the Bible and founded the Christian religion.

Yeah... No... somebody doesn't understand how physics works. The more dense the substance, the closer it is to the center of mass (a.k.a the Earth). A liquid water canopy wouldn't be possible... and that is besides the fact that there has definitly been rain since before living things even existed.

Without the Jewish God, there is no Christianity. Christianity hinges on the belief in the Jewish God. Jesus Christ was the Savior, the Messiah mentioned in the Old Testament, the Son. He was the Jewish God. How could Christ not have founded Christianity? Christianity is the fulfillment of Judaism!

You are not understanding that we he is referring to (He might not even know it either) is the ancient Hebrew understanding of the world. The "Flood Gates" above allowed water through the canopy sea above down to Earth below.

Herp derp, rain comes from the sky, herp derp.

Thank you. I was rather proud of it myself. Deductive reasoning, you know.

Christianity is based off of Judaism, not the same thing. That and maybe he couldnt have founded it because he was crucified? Christianity is BASED off of Christ, not FOUNDED by Christ.

Did Martin Luther found Lutheranism? Did John Calvin found Calvinism?

Ok. You've postulated your theoretical points. Prove these gates exist then. Prove that is "canopy sea" exists.

You can't. And that is why religion will stay on the ground contemplating how many angels will fit on the head of a pin, while science will actually go about making our lifes better.

I know Martin Luther founded Lutheranism, dont know about Calvinism though.
