Pride turned an angel into Satan.

  • Where there is strife, there is pride... --Proverbs 13:10
  • Wisdom hates pride...Proverbs 8:13
  • A fool's mouth lashes out with pride...Proverbs 14:3
  • When pride comes, then comes disgrace....Proverbs 11:2
  • Love is not proud....1 Corinthians 13:4
 
Didn't take long for you to go off the rails.

This has nothing to do with Pride month, but everything to do with people who have egos and look down on others, which is what you're doing.
 
I see how this thread was moved away from the debate forum by the moderators. I guess the moderators conceded that there's no debate. This isn't the only thread that I've had moved from the debate forum to the general forum. Some interesting decisions they've made.
 
I don't understand why the bible has to mention every single situation of whatever is happening. People are getting angry and frustrated and I'm clueless about whatever is happening. People wanted your threads to be closed anyway. A few people reluctantly opened this thread because of how many threads you make or made.

The admins are moving your threads because they don't know where to put them, it's confusing and you can't expect them to know where they belong. The majority say it's not a debate while the others say it's a "debate" which could cause negativity. I can't name them or I might be infracted. But, to be clear your posts are indeed getting repetitive and I have nothing more to say.

One of the chat moderators basically labeled someone... I'm not going to say anymore as I said before, but man if you are bread and know bread I swear you need to be banned...

Love Is Love Hug GIF by INTO ACTION


Isn't The Second Commandment The Same As The First Commandment ?

"Thou Shalt Love The Lord Thy God With All With All Thy Heart, With All Thy Soul, And With All Thy Mind,....
And The Second Is Like Unto It, Thou Shalt Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself"

How come there haven’t been any more recent words of wisdom from the G man?
I’m here now with some words of wisdom…


Thou may quote whichever texts thou wilt, to support whichever arguments and agendas though haseth
Ink, 1:1

For example, this might suggest that the Almighty is a kinky bugger:

The Lord Almighty has a day in store for all the proud and lofty, for all that is exalted (and they will be humbled)
Isaiah, 2:12


And this might suggest they’re an ED drug:

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up
James 4:6



One or two on here should probably try Galatians 6:4:
Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else

This is why Christian religion is a farce. It’s full of hypocritical bigots, not unlike the Pharisees of old that even Jesus thought were assholes, and often used them as examples of evil in his stories.

They think they’re so good, so holy, so much better than the rest of us. Doesn’t the New Testament teach that the kingdom of God belongs to the meek, the humble, the poor, the outcasts?

A lot of these fundamentalist spend their lives in either the Old Testament, where everything is bad and God is all wrath and jealousy, or in Revelations, talking about the end of days being nigh (which people have been doing for a thousand years anyway).

You’re all sinners. Jesus says to not worry about the speck of sawdust in your neighbour’s eye and ignore the log or plank of wood in your own (Luke 6:41 and Matthew 7:3).

How about you start looking at your own logs of wood? 🪵
 
Personally I don’t give a rats ass about the Bible or religion as a whole. I’ll be damned if I’m gonna live my life based on a book written some 2000 years ago by a bunch of men who didn’t know where the sun went when it set. Just speaking for myself.
It’s floating up there in the firmament, of course. Just above the flat earth. Don’t you keep up with science??

I’m still in the process of working out how seasons work and how a flat earth can be dark at one point and light at another. Leave it with me, because now I just worked out that I live in a country that doesn’t exist. Trying to science that too.

Please bare with me while I consult the bible. I think it may be in the pages that got eaten by dinosaurs, though.

Hmmm Interesting ...You Disavow Religion As A "Farce" ..

Yet You Preach The Words Of Christ From The New Testament Luke 6:41 Matthew 7:3 ..

So As To Admonish And Seemingly Condemn "Christians" .... You're Talking About "Hypocrisy" Dahling ... It Comes With Religion ..

Christ Spoke About That Too .. You Believe Science Because It's Based In Proven Facts ...

Whereas Religion Is Based In "Faith" ... As In Believing In Something You Cannot Prove Factually

I believe you’re just a bot. Is that a kind of faith too? A religion?

And I was raised religious, but lost my stomach for it after some personal things. This is why I can quote the bible, pretty much start to finish, but think that religion is a farce.

I didn’t say God, mind you. I meant religious people are all as bad as the rest of us humans. I think we’re all pretty much fu
cked, to be honest.

THIS...people don't see that (organised) religions (ALL OF THEM) and the belief in a higher being or faith in something better are 2 entirely different things.

Quoting a novel doesn't make you a believer.
 
Due to the title of this topic.
Actually every question has an answer in English.
So if Pride turned into Satan is a riddle, there are many responses.
 
bible says lots about sodomy
bible says lots about men laying with men as if they're women
bible says nothing about lesbians

god obviously only luvs heterosexuals & lesbians 💁🏼‍♀️
and then we have this gatekeeper

It was most likely moved because you didn’t set it up as a debate. 🤦🏻‍♂️

The forum staff made the right call moving it.

Might want to read Romans 1 26-27 (just as a biblical fact check)
 
Fun fact about the Bible, and the Koran and anything written in that time line, they were all written by scribes, who were charged with writting down something from memory, that was more than likely not able to be double checked by the person who was instructing the scribe because that person could not read or write.

any how let us just focus on the Roman Catholic Bible

https://youtu.be/pfheSAcCsrE here is something to rock your brain on that , Bart D. Erhman takes nothing but the facts and presents them in a very understandable way.

So what someone said in the RCC Bible isn't necessarily the proper interpretation,
but in the end it doesn't matter. Because it isn't as if the RCC or any religion is interested in proper interpretation of anything in regards to what they teach.

And what isn't explained in the bible is tossed back to " Natural law " and other non-sense.

Organized religion is the only system in place that does not recognize the individuals right to choose who their leaders are, does not recognize women as an equal among men to lead as mean do in said religion. Organize religion is the last stone age system in place for those men who want to be in a position of power to get into power and be lords over simple minded people all in the name of their organized religion.

Mean while what ever God they choose to serve, is more than happy to do nothing to correct the ****.

One can look up the dead sea scrolls, and texts of the massoretic jews, and see how they almost unerringly carried on the oral traditions over a 1000 year timeline.

Most biblical scholars would agree the text is correct, and the so called "errors" are mostly of a minor clerical nature. This however is a completely different subject than "interpretation" which in the case of the RCC? for them is a matter of cannon.

Interpretation and belief? That is an entirely different topic. But it is interesting that bible critics record one typo in 3000 bibles as 3000 errors.

Besides, the bible is a tool not the religion, and the first real christians did not have a heirarchy they did not have "leaders" They shared common property, sold the excess and gave it all to the poor and lived communally. Women had positions of importance, True Christianity is nothing at all like institutional Religion. One would need to read the the book of Acts which makes that clear.

as for the RCC scribes,? Might want to rethink that one, they were educated, scholars in many languages, latin and greek certainly, and probably hebrew as well. Might want to read about Jerome as well.

The thing that annoys me, is if you dare go against the church or the church’s interpretation of the bible, you’re ostracised, demonised and labeled a heretic and blasphemer.

Didn’t Jesus himself sit and challenge so-called religious scholars when he was just 12 years-old? He sure pissed them off.

The church is still just a bunch of old, geriatric farts telling kids do as they say, as per their ancient, perverse interpretation of the bible, or you’re going to sit your ass in molten lava for the rest of eternity, without even a drink of water.

Just some more of my opinion on this ancient cult.
 
Then you get old as the hills and say exactly what you feel and stop caring if you are ostracised, demonised or labelled because you figure out that those that are trying to label you are the problem, not you.

Yes, but when you’re 15 you don’t have much of a choice. I’m still dragged along to church services, listening to the same boring old person drone for over an hour about how terrible I am, how my only hope is to become a lifetime member of their cult.

But hey, they still make it out to be my choice somehow, even if I’d prefer to worship in my own way, away from these hypocrites and liars and paedophiles.

The ‘church cult’ as a whole can kiss my ass.

On your first point 100% agree. The bible is quite clear that christians are expected to use their minds and learn and think for themselves.

While Jesus did "challenge" religious leaders when he was young, that didn't "piss them of" the bible says the so called scholars were "amazed" but they might have been annoyed

"The Church" ? who is that exactly? I think you mean institutional christianity?

To me, "The church" represents the social gospel which is spending most of our time actually trying to improve the world and for our fellow person, and much less time worrying about dogmas or church doctrine.
 
I have read the bible twice, during my teenage years.(I see nothing with it, but each their own) But there's a pbs documentary thats on this topic...when I get the title I'll post it. It's pretty interesting, but it's 6 hours long though lol.

go argue all that with Dr.Erhman; I really don't give two shits about what you think you know.

then you don't need to reply since I wasn't referring to you. Dr Ehrman is well known, I agree on much of what he has to say- however i'm not interested in parsing ever word letter and the like, haven't been for many years in fact. Im more interested in, walking the walk when I can.

Here are the literal definitions of the word ‘church’. Please tell me which of these you mean, because you borrowed from a few of the literal meanings there?

I assume the last definition pinky, its the only once that with one brush stroke covers almost all of christianity. Plus it works where I say about the social gospel as being a force for social change 🙂

Now now…..let’s try and be tolerant and accepting of people’s beliefs. ☺️

While we may not all agree with each others faith, if it helps people navigate their lives, that’s a good thing. 😎

you're making things up or projecting again.

There is nothing intolerant with asking questions and challenging.

BUT then free thinking is difficult for some people.
 
For almost as long as human beings have been on this Earth, they have told stories about the world around them and what lies beyond. These stories and myths help people make sense of things they may not understand. From a dragon swallowing the Sun (a solar eclipse), to Zeus being angry (thunder and lightning), to God’s grand design of the universe. These stories helped shape the culture and explain the world around us for many people.

I would highly recommend the work of Joseph Campbell who explored archetypes and myths in many of his writings. The Hero with a Thousand Faces is a classic book. He can get pretty deep so be prepared. He was also a bit controversial. And if people are a nerd like me, Campbell’s work influenced George Lucas in the development of some of the archetypal characters in the Star Wars movies. 🤓
 
I’m thinking of getting delusions of grandeur and becoming a Jedi Knight.

And in my defence, I have a very good reason for disliking the church.

May the Force be with you 🤓

And of course you can like or dislike anything you want to. My original comment was in response to your insinuation that people who believe in religion are crazy (institutionalized).
I was simply suggesting a more tolerant approach, because even if you don’t agree with a particular religion, for many people that faith helps them get through life. That’s all. 😊 ✌🏻
 
(Also covers where they should be — institutionalised)

Whaaat? Who said that??
The social gospel? In the West, in particular Canada, The socialist /Leftist political parties and others were led by "church" Ie religious activists- who where determined to improve the lives of their fellow person.

Quakers, who don't actually use/have/own a church, have no hierarchy, but yet are christian, -- started Greenpeace, were leaders in woman's suffrage, and centuries before anyone else was treating the mentally ill with compassion and care, began a facility called "the retreat" and work tirelessly on poverty issues , legal reforms, and much more.

Christian anarchists, and most of the leaders of the social justice movements come from the ranks of the social gospel. In Canada, Tommy Douglas (a leader of the social democrats) also from the social gospel- and is the reason in Canada we don't pay for healthcare.

None of which means "the church" is good or bad or should or shouldn't be respected. Character and action are more important to whichever membership card one claims to have or be part of.
 
I have such admiration for liberation theology and such activists, but Christian Nationalist theocrats have been a thorn in my queer ass lately.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to act on my gay thoughts to own the fundies. Hail Satan. Praise Eris.
 
I mean I don't care as a practitioner of sodomy but I have no cognitive dissonance about it?

Like if you want to be Catholic about it, anything that's not marriage>sex>baby is sodomy. Hence the war against contraceptives and Truvada.
 
Most US versions of Google definitions will say oral due to said ruling, but British English (and thus, Australian) use the traditional definition.

*sexually or romantically attracted to ppl regardless of sex & gender*

look, i like u @Pinky i think ur rly sweet & very smart... but can u pls explain to me how this is any different from being bisexual
Great question.

Pansexualism includes gender identities, such as trans people, non-binary, gender fluid, etc. I always say the heart wants what it wants (within the law, so definitely don’t include peds).
