Part 39 of Post Your Tough Questions Regarding Christianity

Not sure Brother Mitt but, does this have something to do with the ghosts from 2013 you were responding to in an effort to deflect away from recent posts ?

That would be one way of putting it What is also funny is how God-YHWH is depicted as xenophobic .. as you point out.

Indeed Brother Mitt tends to run from tough questions and the Bible for that matter , when questions that conflict with man made dogma arise .... for example, he will not say what the name his God is ...will not tell us which God of the Bible he worships - but professes to know what this God thinks on various topics.

 

He also ran from the question i asked him: Why would an all powerful being use written word when he could simply make us know and understand whatever he wants effortlessly, and why doesnt his choice of means of communication indicate that he intends the resulting confusion, conflict, etc? And how can he "judge" based on obedience to an unclear order?

Mitt only "responds" to posts from over a decade ago, knowing those he addresses, most of whom are long gone, are not going to see his posts, so he can have the last word and not feel challenged by any further discussion or debate.

 

^ I actually could respect it a lot more if he was just using the decade+ old posts for topic ideas to comment on, without pretending he is writing to the old posters as if he expects they will read it.

 

Mitts problem is that he hasn't kept up with modern knowledge and archaeology nor, like many Christians, dare he accept that he might be wrong.

 

Did you read the passages that Mitt pasted where Jesus is speaking? They ate hilarious when you think about them.

The Jesus character babbled about how he was the son of God and the story starts with God being his daddy and Jesus came down from heaven, where he had lived with his daddy from the first minute.

Then, in Revelation, David becomes Jesus' daddy and Jesus will inherit David's kingdom. So, Jesus was with God at the creation of the universe but the only part he will get is the tiny piece of dirt that was David's kingdom on a small planet in an universe of trillions of planets.

The writers had some big laughs when they wrote that part of the fairytale.

Exactly! Good points WanRen well said! No, some can't even nowadays differentiate between a male and female. Some can't define what a "woman" is.

Take for example Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson during the 2nd day of her Supreme Court confirmation hearings. She couldn't answer the question, "Define what a "woman" is?

dairy's statement, "And you wonder why folks think you don't see things clearly? Or you misinterpret things" is well suited appropriately for people like Judge Brown who can't define what a "woman" is. So, if she can't define what a "woman" is, then it certainly follows she also can't define what a "man" is...lol

Ketanji said, "I can't ...I'm not a biologist." Well, I'm not a biologist myself, but you don't have to be one to define what a "woman" is, you just got to be honest and spill it out for crying out loud...lol

In its simplistic definition, a woman is an adult female person that has a pair of beautiful breasts and other interesting, beautiful parts that are different from an adult male person...lol...sorry but I don't mean to laugh out loud for I'm just stating the truth and nothing but the truth.

Our Creator Almighty God created in His own image a male and a female. And He told us to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and govern it. And we haven't disappointed Him in that respect, for we sure have indeed filled the earth, with approx. a little over 7 billion people world-wide residing on His lush green earth. But of course, some of us have surely disappointed Him with all the nonsense that is taking place today.

We Read in Scripture:

27 So God created human beings[a] in his own image.
In the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.

28 Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.” Genesis 1:27-28 NLT

Footnotes
a. 1:27 Or the man; Hebrew reads ha-adam.

We now have people changing their genders, men transitioning into women, women into men...wow! All these pronouns they have now. There is this 2SLGBTQIA+ an acronym that means: 2Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual...really!...say what!...lol

What is this world coming to...plain insanity that's what it is. It's that sin nature inherent in people really going whacky.

Well, if things get any whackier, I mean really whacky than it already is, that's when Lord Jesus will return in His 2nd Coming to restore order. When is that day exactly, nobody knows, only the Father knows.

We Read in Scripture:

Our Lord Savior Jesus Christ said,

36 “However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself.[a] Only the Father knows.
37 “When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day. 38 In those days before the flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat. 39 People didn’t realize what was going to happen until the flood came and swept them all away. That is the way it will be when the Son of Man comes. Matthew 24:36-39 NLT

Footnotes
24:36 Some manuscripts do not include or the Son himself.

When God created us, He intended that when a man leaves his father and mother, he is to be joined to his wife and the two of them shall be united into one. This keeps the human race perpetuating.

We Read in Scripture:

24 This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one. Genesis 2:24 NLT

Like the lyrics of a song, "He created a woman and lots of loving for a man, yes He did, oh yes He did".

Instead of me singing that song let me just bring it up from the utube. Also let me bring up another song that is sung by a woman, a woman who knows what she is, what her purpose is, clearly, she knows the definition of her being a "woman", she wants to marry the man that she loves so dearly!







Ok thanks WanRen and dairy for your posts, it was a pleasure for me to respond to them.

 

If we play the religionists’ game and take the bible at face value (meaning “literally”), we can find plenty of literally valid criticisms. The interesting thing is that if we manage to grasp the spiritual meaning that hides behind the words and in between the lines, we get the ancient mystical/spiritual meaning and then the whole bible makes perfect sense as a spiritual work or myth! The literal contradictions become meaningful. They’re understood completely different from how religionists take them, and in that new understanding they begin to make perfect sense, spiritually. And religionists cannot and will not accept such spiritual meaning. They cling to the literal, foolish meaning. That was the nature of Mitt’s explanation of “morning star”. It was a perfect example.

 

That’s not fair, Mitt. At that time, in her capacity as a Supreme Court justice, Jackson knew with all eyes on her as a SC justice, she could not justify a personal opinion. She had to either answer as a SC justice presenting established rulings from the past, or be silent. And there is not yet any SC ruling on what it is to be a woman or a man.

Then why does god create hermaphrodites?

 

Why am I hearing all these background chatter and noise? Where in da heck is it coming from?...so strange!...lol

 

Then why does god create hermaphrodites?

 

Nothing stranger than your posts.

 

And less.

 

Oh the irony!

 

@Mitt Ryan is stumped.

 

A snappy answer would have been that a woman is a member of the group of people who was denied political participation in American political affair because of their gender until 1920, or 131 years after the adoption of the current constitution of the United States of America.

 

Probably as a means to separate the goats from the sheep. Or to try the faith of his own and carve away the unbelief.

 

Explain.

 

Possibly. Probably. No certainty. That's religion. The only reality is that we are here - and some would question even that reality.. The idea that a 'god' created us comes from the time when man had no understanding and created a 'Supreme Being' to explain things. And when things go wrong or right it must be 'god's will. Nothing to do with ourselves and our behaviour - past and present.

 

So we do know what god looks like
, and 'he' is both male and female.

Perhaps that's why some people are confused about the sexuality today.

 

Are you suggesting that a gift is an insult, and that women should be placed on pedestals rather than be equal? Everyone had to wait an eternity for constitutional freedom. Should we all cross our arms and go harrumph to Gods charity, in question of his wisdom?

 

Thank you Trevor for once again confirming you can not read Scripture properly; and thus demonstrating the falsity of your position throughout this thread; so that reader may take solase in Brother Mitt's correct reading of Scripture. And I thought maybe your were completely useless in God's plan, but as usual, God takes the bad and mkes it good.

 

Aren't you assuming that there is a god. I certainly question his wisdom in making man superior to women. Look at the mess they've made of the world. I also question the wisdom of making the earth - and universe - so unstable that it constantly kills the creation he put on it. Man is only superior because he was stronger and able to provided by muscle power.

 

That’s weird and not very “godly”. Isn’t god supposed to be perfect love and “wanting” all to be saved? How does imperfection creep into perfection?

 

כו וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים, נַעֲשֶׂה אָדָם בְּצַלְמֵנוּ כִּדְמוּתֵנוּ; וְיִרְדּוּ בִדְגַת הַיָּם וּבְעוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם, וּבַבְּהֵמָה וּבְכָל-הָאָרֶץ, וּבְכָל-הָרֶמֶשׂ, הָרֹמֵשׂ עַל-הָאָרֶץ.כו וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים, נַעֲשֶׂה אָדָם בְּצַלְמֵנוּ כִּדְמוּתֵנוּ; וְיִרְדּוּ בִדְגַת הַיָּם וּבְעוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם, וּבַבְּהֵמָה וּבְכָל-הָאָרֶץ, וּבְכָל-הָרֶמֶשׂ, הָרֹמֵשׂ עַל-הָאָרֶץ.
26 And God said: 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.'
כז 27 And God created man in, in the image of God created He him His own image; male and female created He them

That seems pretty clear to me whatever interpretation YOU or MITT put on it. Remember that all scripture is inspired by god's spirit.

There is more than one God discussing mans creation and they are male and female.

For all your comments, and Mitts, you clearly have no idea how, or why, the Bible, and religion, came into being. It's simply a waste of time explaining to you and Mitt as you are not prepared to accept you could be wrong. Despite showing things that prove the Bible wrong you and Mitt still cling myths.
