Interesting. Sarcastic, but interesting.
God still has a plan for me. And it's His will be done, not mine.
And you base this opinion on...
Such a tired, old gotcha. Used as if it is some masterful debate argument. It truly surmises where you are, intellectually.
Not sarcastic in the least - if you are keen to die, but suicide is off the table, then you should be looking at every non-suicidal, death-accelerating activity you can find.
Any Christian that actively avoids death, has weak faith.
Yawn
No... I’m more concerned about you being right because you have a lot of B.S. beliefs that are not founded in the Bible you bomb on us. I’ve just shown you that the Bible doesn’t support you eschatologically.... why should we not think that ALL you Christian thinking isn’t as sloppy and wrong-headed?
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill.
There is no confirmable case of anybody being harmed post-mortem by a lack of Christianity.
Thanks for assuring me I will not suffer by God punishing me for rejecting him.
By comparing witnessed reality to Christian claims and projections. In that, Christianity has already failed the comparison to reality and thus ONLY remains a belief based on unrealized projections.... one of which, the coming of the kingdom, has already failed.
Everything that pertains to life and godliness through the knowledge of God and Jesus are contained in the Bible.
2 Peter 3:3 Most importantly, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4 “Where is the promise of His coming?” they will ask. “Ever since our fathers fell asleep, everything continues as it has from the beginning of creation.” 5 But they deliberately overlook the fact that long ago by God’s word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water, 6 through which the world of that time perished in the flood. 7 And by that same word, the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. 8 Beloved, do not let this one thing escape your notice: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise as some understand slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance. 10 But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar, the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and its works will be laid bare.
Not right now it isn’t... but to you it would be. All apocalyptic cults such as the one you are in believes that.
But that all failed - and they may not have known the day or hour, but they were definitely told the timeline. Jesus was an apocalyptic prophet of the more recent jewish apocalyptic strain and taught in no uncertain terms that the end was near and that the people in front of him need to prepare. Prepare how? Selling all your things, abandoning your families, your livelihoods, follow Jesus (physically - not metaphorically) and investing fully in the coming of the kingdom that would be upon the generation that stood before him saw death. Otherwise such orders would be wholly irresponsible.
I don't have a clue - EXCEPT that it's promised to be much better that physical life has been.
Did it? Are you able to prove such a claim?
Parable of the 10 handmaids.
No, He IS God. The Second Person of the Trinity. The Savior of the World. Something lost on the lost, like you!
Did He?
As applicable today as then.
No. The Great Commission.
Did they?
Were they?
Did it?
Your path is clear, you've chosen hell.
You are also a pretty, pretty princess.
You don't even know what you are doing anymore.
It’s biblical.
No. He was a Rabbi from the sect of the Essenes that thought he was the Jewish Messiah... The Liberator of only Israel as foretold in Hebrew only prophesies. Matt 15:24 - But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Yes.
The time expired over 2000 years ago for all the prophesies attached to Jesus. All that is left is the Jewish prophesy.
Non-sequiror. The Great commission was the validation of Jesus. It strains credulity to think that Jesus would use terminology that those that stood before him would not taste death until.... what.... ? ..... until I go on a mountaintop in a few days to meet Abraham and Elijah and get their blessing? Um....No.
Yes.
That is the scholarship. Was the above your complete apologetic? The Great Commission?
That's the sum of your whole argument.
Not all of it.... so many more biblical narratives point to it, But if the Bible is the source of your belief, then yes, you can read about the failure of Jesus right there in the Gospels and Acts. The show was over by the end of the first century.
