>The story of Adam and Eve is obviously fiction
yet the greeks have pretty much the same story with pandora opening the box unleashing every evil (sin) onto us like eve.
We could also go to the aztecs where its a feathered serpent (Quetzacoatl) brought them knowledge like the Serpent in Eden did.

how so?

>LMAOOOOO ETHOSTATE is an idea for insecure losers
Well, you would say that mate. Obviously everyone who gets turned away at the gates is going to spend the rest of their lives whining about it on Plebbit.

What is original sin? Explain in your own words. Is it eve's sin leading to the fall and free will? Is it the concept that children are born unpure? Elaborate.

Children's picture bible versions aren't true.
Genesis 1 and 2 describe different events.
Man was created on the sixth day in Genesis 1. In Genesis 2, on the seventh day, God rested. Then after the seventh day, God created the garden and formed Adam and placed him in the garden. After the seventh day. Man was created on the sixth day.
That's not contradictory. Teaching it is racist, because it suggests not all people were descended from Adam, so that teaching is suppressed usually, but that is what it says, clear as day.

Unfortunately neither of the two Petrine epistles were actually written by Peter.

Ohhh! Forgedaboudit!

>The Trinity
The Trinity has always been a difficult thing to explain.
Even explaining how Jesus Christ could be God Incarnate has been difficult.

The question always arises,"How can the Father and Jesus both be God if there is only One God?

I was once discussing with an atheist whether or not it would be possible for two omnipotent beings to exist. I originally started by stating that this is not possible because if the actions of one all powerful being contradicted the other, then there would arise a paradox.

It's like asking the question of what happens when an unstoppable force collides with an immovable object.
Or so I thought.

During this discussion I had a realization. If both beings are truly omnipotent, then they would also both be omniscient and omnipresent.
Being omniscient and omnipresent, they would both be knowledge itself and wisdom itself. Their wills and actions would never contradict one another because they would always be in agreeance.
There would never be a contradiction, and thus there would never be a paradox.

Both being omnipresent, they would also both exist everywhere at once, including within each other. They would seemingly be separate, but would be One in Truth.

This explains how God can have multiple persons, but still be One God.

They were written by God, seeing as the Word of God is Inspired(root word: to breathe).

>Original sin and The Gospel

God created humanity with free will so that we may come to love Him freely and in truth.
However, since we have that free will, we can sin against Him.
God knew this would happen when He created us, so He provided a way for us to be reconciled with Him for free.
Hid did this by incarnating as a man to pay for our crimes against Him, Himself.

Why was this necessary?

It was necessary because God is perfectly Good and Just.
Since He is perfectly Good and Just, then there must be retribution for the crimes we have committed.
His Justice must be satisfied.

But since God loves us and wants to have a relationship with us, He took it upon Himself to suffer in our place for our sins.
This is the truest expression of His mercy for us.
All we need to do is accept this free Gift.

Some might ask,"If Jesus bore the sins of all mankind, then why is there as hell?"

If you do not believe in Christ and allow Him to cover your sins, when you stand before God, you will have to pay for them yourself.

St Peter was a Galilean fisherman. The author of 1 Peter was trained in Greek rhetoric. Therefore is it fantastically unlikely that St Peter is the author of 1 Peter.

of course it makes no sense - it is beyond sense, as sense is a limited mortal faculty. If you could explain the Trinity you would be God.

Peter was a fisherman until 30 AD. 1 Peter was not written until 60-65AD.

Possibly, but why can't you make that argument without making rookie mistakes like quoting 2 Peter?

>Peter was a fisherman until 30 AD. 1 Peter was not written until 60-65AD.
Please explain how an adult Galilean fisherman achieved a training in Greek rhetoric and philosophy, and an advanced command of Greek grammar and vocabulary.

>too dumb to use explosives at range

Idiot. He travelled through the Greek Speaking East for thirty years before he wrote that letter. Antioch is not in Galilee.

Jesus may have existed, but he never resurrected, the most probable turn of events is that he died, promised to come back, and like clockwork, when he stayed dead his followers started saying how they truly had seen him risen and the rest is just faith and self-delusion.

>Why would they pretend?

There's a recent cult of very ardent followers called the gnosis of Samael Aun Weor, Samael Aun Weor actually promised that he would resurrect after his death, much like Jesus christ, since he was supposed to be an even greater messiah.

Know what? He died, never resurrected, still has very ardent followers whom ruin their entire lives for the worship.

The gnosis of Samael Aun Weor, look it up.

>He travelled through the Greek Speaking East for thirty years before he wrote that letter.
Greek rhetoric was taught to Greek-speaking children. How did a non-Greek speaking adult fisherman attain that training?

God' s holy spirit is like his soul. If he finds a fitting vessel he can use his soul to "board" it and walk around his own universe.

Our bodies are temples. The 7 sins defile us, the 7 virtues cleanse us. Since all humans are natural sinners, Jesus had to be sacrificed in order to divide the holy spirit among all humans.

There are not many people left with the spirit of God in them.

as regards christianity, I have chosen - without being a jew - to mostly discard the new testament. No amendment or addition to the original message is acceptable.

The idea of the Trinity is best described by Philo of Alexandria, a Jew of the first century. Philo had it that God exists as a "divine triad", with God the Father at the center, flanked by His two powers. Those two powers are the creative power and the regent power. Philo also had it that to the unitiated mind, God appears as that triad, but to the initiated mind He is one.

Original sin in the West is not how it is understood in the East, meaning that the idea of inherited guilt of the West is not the Eastern view. In the Eastern view, all men inherited from Adam a propensity to sin, but guilt is not imputed until sin is complete.

When you say "we do not know the writers...", it is actually that we do not know the writers of the gospels themselves. The gospels are not signed by any author, but are attributed to three apostles of Jesus, and Luke, a disciple of Paul. That each is "the gospel according to...", is not to say that any apostle wrote any gospel, but that his teachings on the gospel is recorded.

Regardless, the bible was compiled by the Synod of Hippo circa 395 or so AD. That Synod had a criteria they used to determine the books of the canon. Those books of the canon do not contradict the teachings of Christianity from the beginning.

To those who are not reprobate:

Repent and believe before it's too late. We are all sinners- every single one of us. Hell is a real place, and the wages of sin is death, but God has given us the gift of eternal life. His Son, Jesus Christ, is the Word manifest in the flesh. He came to save us. You only have to believe, and at that moment you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, you are INDWELLED with the Holy Spirit and SEALED until the day of redemption. It is a gift that God will not take away. Few there be that find it.

>For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
Acts 20:27KJV

Ricky Tsang was an Asian man from Canada with a debilitating disease called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy that confined him to a wheelchair. He listened to my sermons for the past many years and sent me a lot of encouraging e-mails. He had originally contacted me about 6 years ago to tell me that he had gotten saved as a result of listening to the preaching from Faithful Word Baptist Church. After staying alive much longer than expected, Ricky went home to be with the Lord recently at age 35. Ricky had an inspirational attitude about his disease and was a blessing to all those around him. He has been an encouragement to me personally, and I am thankful that he is "walking, and leaping, and praising God" in heaven.

I’ve seen where Ricky told this story publicly before, so I think he would want me to tell it. Like many disabled people, Ricky had been abused by a Sodomite. He would not get saved because he was bitter toward the Lord about what had happened. He struggled with statements he had heard from Christians such as, “Even Jeffrey Dahmer is in Heaven.” After hearing the sermon “Sodomite Reprobates” Ricky realized that God is a righteous God. He finally believed and accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as his saviour because of hearing that sermon.

People will say that the reprobate doctrine turns people away from the gospel, but for every one that the reprobate doctrine “turns away,” it brings in a guy like Ricky who needed to hear it. I praise God for Ricky’s friendship and this important lesson he has taught us about the results of hard preaching.

Attached: Screenshot_20190116-211002_Facebook.jpg (708x530, 131K)

Ricky is not the only one that has been hindered by the watered-down doctrine that God loves everyone. There are people that you will meet at the door out soul-winning who will scoff and say that we teach that “child molesters will be in Heaven.” I’ve had to go through Romans 1 with people and explain to them that child molesters/Sodomites are reprobates who have been given over to vile affections because they have rejected God. There are people on this earth who have gone too far and can no longer get saved, and being a pervert is a symptom of being a reprobate. Jeffrey Dahmer, and others like him are burning in Hell! This is not to say that we should regularly bring up Romans One when soul-winning, but if a person brings up that issue, sometimes expounding the reprobate doctrine to them can remove an obstacle, so that they will get saved.

As a pastor, it is not my job to worry about which scripture passages might turn people away. Preachers need to preach the whole counsel of God. As soul-winners, we need to be ready to tackle the hard questions out soul-winning. When I preached a sermon against the Sodomites, I had no idea that someone would get saved as a result of that sermon, but I am thankful that Ricky did.

One of the most important facets of Christianity is God's gift of free will. God gave one creature on his earth this power and it is up to us to make the right choices and live in his image. It is also why fucking socialism and communism if fucking evil. Any system that forces people to give up this much free will is fucking evil.

He loved them and prayed for them even as they were doing it.

christianity is interesting. I cant think of another religion with an absolute omnipotent god that also personally experienced doubt, pain, and death. This fills in an incompleteness that other all powerful gods would have, as only the lesser kind of gods you find in religion with many of them tend to have these sorts of personal mortal conflicts and struggles.
