My Christian upbringing is hindering my integration with modern society

I refuse to lose my faith because of some stupid fucking heathens

But I hate all this self-limiting and restraint I must show, while others are happy as animals. I restrict myself from enjoying certain media, for fear of them being satanic/demonic. I stop certain self-expressions, for want of being virtuous. I forgive, as that is what I believe is best. And all these things end up hurting me.

What do?

Y-you just don't get it, God's morals are good because you don't understand.

>Perhaps he wants humans to regulate themselves, rather than interfere all the time. As any good tutor does.

Then he is not willing and malevolent. What God creates a world, humans, life and then says "Give me praise and love me, devote your whole existence to me. Also all that evil and bad shit I created, fix it yourself lmao."

If god exists as you describe, he's an asshole and undeserving of worship.

If a father makes a son, and the son does evil, did the father create the evil?

If a father lets his own son make a mistake, so he may learn to rectify it and avoid it in future, is he malevolent?

You're being an extremist idiot for the sake of holding on to your ideals, which have been proven to be logically false already.

If God exists, especially as I have described in this thread: how is he an asshole?

Read carefully now
>>
>>2684919
>If a father makes a son, and the son does evil, did the father create the evil?

No, but God is all knowing is he not? He knows all that has and will happen. So he created man knowing exactly what would happen. He creates this man knowing the man will do things he does not wish, the punishment for this is hell, because he wishes that to be. He can change anything as he is all powerful, he knows who will sin and burn, he creates them imperfect, in his eyes, knowing they will go to hell. Yet he does nothing. Is this sick game not malevolence? Please explain to me this weird game God has created. Where he creates beings just to send them to hell.

See my responses.

Perceived evil is an unfortunate result of free will. It is not insurmountable though.

Is it free will when everything that happens is planned by an all powerful ruler?
Also when you say "perceived evil" do you mean to say anything "god" says is ok is morally always good and vice versa?

He knows it will happen, did not necessarily plan it

Perceived evil is what you call evil. What is evil to us may not be evil to God.

Good.

Not planned.

Foreknown.

And since his foreknowlege is unknown to you, and does not impact you, you are a free will moral agent responsible for your own choices.

You just don't have the ability to surprise God. Or disappoint God.

If you're a Christian, why do you expect to receive from the world better treatment than Jesus received, if you're doing and saying the same things Jesus did?

Don't fall in love with this world. It's temporary, and evil. Just focus on trying to save as many people from hell as you can.

See, the problem here (and I've seen this time and time again) is that when you show people there's another side to this reality to get them to go toward the light, they usually just get more interested in the darkness in the sense of using this new-said knowledge for their own personal gain instead of using it to re-asses their actual paradigm of thinking.

The Childish pattern usually goes like this, and it's usually very transparent.

"How can you tell me that God is real"

"Because the devil is also real and clearly hates God"

"How can you prove that"

"Because X (This part you have to figure out for yourself)"

"Oh ok, guess I'll just see what the devil can do for me , after all, it's a better option than admitting I was actually wrong TeeHee!"

Would rather just let those kind of people stay ignorant if that's their mentality desu

Gnosticism is in the spirit of Antichrist, and is of the devil himself. They started out with the disciples, but departed and went their own way seeking occult knowledge that they think will save them.

It's not my theory. It's in the bible.

Children, it is the last hour; and just as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. This is how we know it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they did not belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But their departure made it clear that none of them belonged to us.

What do gnostics believe? They believe that Jesus was not really God; that God could not manifest himself in the flesh.

1 John 4
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

I'll take the Word of God over your misunderstanding all day, every day.

Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Revelation 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Seems pretty clear. I'll explain your misunderstanding, if you'd like.

God knew the choices you'd make 100s of years before you were born, he knows if you're born to go to hell or not. He can easily stop but he doesn't. God created arbitrary rules knowing who would and wouldn't follow them? He made certain people just "evil" in his eyes? Then you say it's their choice!? No, it's God's choice to send people to hell. It was God's choice to create all the evil and injustice in the world. I repeat again if god exists he is a malovolent diety who has not earned my worship.

The gnostics were satan's answer to the apostles; they denied God could be contained in flesh, and so the flesh could not matter. Hence most of them became hedonists, as they did not believe the flesh could cause sin, only the spirit.

So you're saying in Revelations 20:14 that Hell was essentially thrown into hell? Doesn't it sound more accurate that god was saying death and sheol (eternity in death) were being destroyed? Also, in 19:18, if you're viewing this in literal terminology and not as an illustration as the bible does throughout, doesn't that mean god condones cannabalism of "the flesh of kings"?
>>
>>2685815
That's because for the greater part of our human history critism of god was met with death.

How many times does the author of Ecclesiastes have to say "under the sun" before you get the idea that he's only talking about things "under the sun"?

5? 10? 15? 20? 25? 26?

I believe it's actually 26.

The afterlife is not "under the sun". The author is only talking about the physical world in which we all temporarily live. Poke a dead body and it does not talk to you.

Go to where that spirit resides in the afterlife and it will talk plenty.

“Today I was led by an Angel to the chasms of hell. It is a place of great torture; how awesomely large and extensive it is! The kinds of tortures I saw: the first torture that constitutes hell is the loss of God; the second is perpetual remorse of conscience; the third is that one’s condition will never change; the fourth is the fire that will penetrate the soul without destroying it – a terrible suffering, since it is a purely spiritual fire, lit by God’s anger; the fifth torture is continual darkness and a terrible suffocating smell, and, despite the darkness, the devils and the souls of the damned see each other and all the evil, both of others and their own; the sixth torture is the constant company of Satan; the seventh torture is horrible despair, hatred of God, vile words, curses and blasphemies.

“These are the tortures suffered by all the damned together, but that is not the end of their sufferings. There are special tortures destined for particular souls. These are the torments of the senses. Each soul undergoes terrible and indescribable sufferings, related to the manner in which it has sinned. There are caverns and pits of torture where one form of agony differs from another. I would have died at the very sight of these tortures if the omnipotence of God had not supported me. Let the sinner know that he will be tortured throughout all eternity, in those senses which he made use of to sin. I am writing this at the command of God, so that no soul may find an excuse by saying there is no hell, or that nobody has ever been there, and so no one can say what it is like.

“I, Sister Faustina, by the order of God, have visited the abysses of hell so that I might tell souls about it and testify to its existence. I cannot speak about it now; but I have received a command from God to leave it in writing. The devils were full of hatred for me, but they had to obey me at the command of God. What I have written is but a pale shadow of the things I saw. But I noticed one thing: that most of the souls there are those who disbelieved that there is a hell. When I came to, I could hardly recover from the fright. How terribly souls suffer there! Consequently, I pray even more fervently for the conversion of sinners. I incessantly plead God’s mercy upon them. O my Jesus, I would rather be in agony until the end of the world, amidst the greatest sufferings, than offend You by the least sin.” (Diary of St. Faustina, 741)

You think of death as the cessation of life because you are not aware of your nature. You will live forever in one of two places.

As God is Life, to be separated from God is to be dead. Most people reading this are dead and do not know it. But as they have no Life in them, they are dead.

To be separated from God is death; to be eternally separated from God is the second death, which takes place in the lake of fire, aka the outer darkness, aka Gehenna (the ever burning trash dump outside Jerusalem called Gehenna is a picture of what the ever burning lake of fire will be like.)

So hell is quite literal, made to confine the devil and his demons, and will be the eternal abode for most human beings.

The 66 books of the bible written by 40 men over 1500 years, the bible, is the only holy book on the planet. You cannot remove any of the books or letters within the bible and end up with a holy book. Neither can you add unholy or secular or evil books to the bible, and consider that your bible is holy. Nor can you change the verses to suit your cult and consider the bible holy.

The bible as written was holy, inerrant, and perfect.

The copies we have are roughly 99.5% intact.

If you want to rely on the .5%, and not the 99.5%, that's up to you. The .5% are mostly copyist errors, spelling variants and idioms.

Exact quote is, "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom." The realm of the dead is sheol, and if sheol lacks any form of conscious thought or action how can it be an eternity of fire. It clearly saying the realm of the dead is nothingness, just as Jesus refered to Lazerus as sleeping, not that his mind had been transfered to some limbo or other form of existence. If death is nothingness how is there a hell?

I want to go to heaven, if it exists, so I can give him a good earful. If it doesn't and all that's after is nothing as I suscpect what'll I care, I wont exist. Hopefully he can fill me in on what I'm missing here though, you people have certainly failed.

Daniel 12 “At that time Michael, the great prince, the protector of your people, shall arise. There shall be a time of anguish, such as has never occurred since nations first came into existence. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone who is found written in the book. 2 Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. 4 But you, Daniel, keep the words secret and the book sealed until the time of the end. Many shall be running back and forth, and evil shall increase.”

It's holy because it is inspired by God.

2 Timothy 3
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Christianity was a lie created by jews. Basic logic can tell you it's fake. But you can't break that jewish brainwashing even when common sense should tell you it's bullshit.
>>
>>2686050
The consequences are that a random christian gets mad on the internet.
>>
>>2686021

Ah, I see.

And how do you not understand this? Place yourself in hell, in the dark, and on fire, screaming endlessly because the fire never goes out, and you never die.

How much working will you do?
How much planning will you do?
How much knowledge will you gain?
How much wisdom will you find?

The realm of the dead at that time was Hades/Sheol; that is not the ultimate end. The ultimate end is a lake of fire.

>>2686038
Knowledge shall increase, and increase exponentially. Not sure what version you're using.

>>2686039

God does not lie because he is God.

Think about all the reasons you would lie, and do lie, and realize that God has none of those reasons.
>>

>commit less crime
If that's the case it's only because secular humanists have succeeded in decriminalizing the crimes they are most likely to commit.
>>
>>2686067
I've stated my case throughout my life. If God exists he should know what I think already.

They don't need to. Christianity already degenerated western society.

The devil is the author of lies, and the father of lies. All he does is lie.

And you believe his lie that God is a liar.

One being always tells the truth.

One being always lies.

And you have chosen to believe the liar.

Rome paganized Christianity.

Christianity is based on two facts that are eternally established.

God never fails.

Amazing logic my friend.
>>
>>2684727
Actually read the Matthew chapters 5-7
literally the only part of the Bible that matters
>>
>>2686097

You would actually, if you knew what was happening, be very concerned about how you treat the children of God, and the chosen people of God.

Very concerned like not being able to sleep concerned.

But rather than face that, you're just adopting a denial position, and hoping for the best. When does that ever pay off?

If that man created the animal to be/or knowing he'd be a rabid dog that would try to kill his children, and then as the dog does the thing he knew it would do he said "How dare you! To hell!"

I'd say the man is just a dick.

All these things that go against our western Greco Roman culture but the christian degenerates ruined.
>>
>>2686114
Kind of an outcast Jew, since he was a traitor and collected taxes for the Romans.

On commission.

Yet after being shit on by Jews his entire life, and excluded from the Temple, and from any of their homes, he had a burning desire to bring them all to the knowledge that Jesus is the Jewish Messiah, the King of the Jews, and will sit on David's throne forever.

Such turnabouts are difficult to explain without the power of the Holy Spirit being involved.

That bit is the Sermon on the Mount
Literally Jesus laying down the foundation of the faith
This idiot obviously hasn't read it or he/she would know their views are retarded.
>>
>>2686119
>It's true because it's true because it's true because it's true
It must such to be so stupid that this would seem like flawless logic.
>>
>>2686113
I think both.
>>
>>2686119
Your Unbelief hurts me as much as it hurts God.

It only effects you.
>>
>>2686132
Then it must be hurting god a lot then.
>>
>>2686121
So you had to twist the entirely simple analogy around to avoid the obvious.

Your opinion of God depends on whether God is your Father, or God is your Enemy.

But in either case, right now, you are the rabid dog.
>>
>>2686132
Yeah, I would be as mad as you too if I thought it was a sin to fap.
>>
>>2686129

The Sermon on the Mount is not an instruction guide for Christians.

It is a nuclear bomb dropped on Judaism, on people who thought they were following the Law of Moses, and were not.

And even if they were, there are an infinite number of other things one would have to do in order to be like God.

The Jews, the synagogue of satan, were following satan's gospel: eat the fruit, know good and evil, and be like God.

Jesus told them they were all failing, miserably. So they murdered their own savior.
>>
>>2686138
He takes no delight in the destruction of the wicked, but you're forcing him to cast you into hell, and then be forgotten. Which of course he knew he would have to do before he made the earth.

How do you win in that scenario?
>>
>>2686123
Right? Look at Mormons and Menonites for example. Decreasing fertinily rates, substance abuse, rampant degeneracy, race-mixing... Oh wait.

Actually this is a good question. Do the christfags on this board fap in shame or not fap and that's why they are always so easily upset?

All sins were forgiven at the cross, except Unbelief.

Fapping has no connection with Unbelief, except perhaps as a distraction.

I don't get this much, though. You obviously enjoy your dick, but don't love the Creator who made your dick to give you pleasure?

>>2686177
Aren't black people considered cursed in Mormonism?

>>2686159
Yourself. You are causing eternal harm to yourself. You can speak your mind all you want. But if you remain dead, you will have to be sorted out with the dead.

If you have the Holy Spirit in you (being born again in the Spirit), you have life; if you do not have the Holy Spirit in you, you have not life.

>>
>>2686179
You can ask for my sources, of course. And I'll give it to you.

But you have to develop a taste for the truth, and you have to learn how, for lack of a better word, lies smell.

John 8:44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

Lower tier than mudslimes.

I didn't justify anything.

I told you when your sins were forgiven. You don't have a sin problem.

You have a death problem, and you are dead.
>>
>>2686207
Exactly the opposite is true, of course. But how would you know what the Holy Spirit leads us to do, when you have never met him, and have no idea what he's like, or what being transformed by him is like?
>>
>>2686213
Physically, yes.

Spiritually, no.
>>
>>2686226
I can ask you the same question.
>>
>>2686222
I didn't say any of those things, obviously.

I just know, and speak, the truth to the best of my ability.
>>
>>2686223
>You are dead
Kek.
So being gay and fapping to little girl cartoons is ok to you degenerates because le christ says so.
>>2686236
So why do you fap when it's a sin?

You're still asking for advice, doesn't matter what kind it is. You're not actually discussing religion, spirituality, or theology in any meaningful way.

I have a question. How is it that the devil is imprisoned in hell and supposedly suffering constantly,how does he find the time and the power to interfere in our plane of existance as much as he is blamed for? Does satans constant meddeling from torturous conditions mean he is more powerfull than god, who is seemingly content with doing (arguably) little from the comfort of heaven?

I used to be just like you. Although maybe I went a little overboard. I preached creationism to anyone I knew well enough, I was afraid everyone was going to hell and I didn't dare tell a white lie, watch any shows that even said OMG in them, and I thought evolution was a conspiracy.
I'm an atheist now, and you might feel a slight disgust just from me saying that (as I used too), but not much has changed for me besides that I tend to be more accepting of other ideas, more tolerant of other religions, and I realize the atheists that I thought were all idiots are now geniuses compared to the creationists I listened to.
I feel like I'm no longer afraid to look at all the evidence.
You might be nothing like I used to be, but just in case, there's my rant.^
