@Robbservations2 Except that it was written 400 bc long before any Christians. And it bears striking similarity with John3:13
No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.
@Robbservations2 Your hostility towards even the idea of a god existing is evidence for a god’s existence. God is presupposed for the atheist to deny. There would be no atheists if God in fact did not exist. Atheism is self refuting.
@Atomsmade This is because most people are not doctors. If they were they would use their skills to heal the sick. Since these untrained people can’t perform medicine they are doing the only thing they can for the sick. Take them to a doctor and pray.
@Robbservations2 If atheism is true this meme is just the result of a fluctuation in Robb’s brain chemistry. It’s not even true because truth is just a result of fluctuating brain chemistry.
An atheist would need to present empirical proof that the one and only motivation for creating religion was to rob people of this one and only life.
The atheist would also need to present empirical proof that there is no afterlife.
@pinkTheTinkerer@man_of_options Israel broke Gods covenant multiple times a thing that God called sexual
Immorality adultery and prostitution. If God had been polygamous that would have also been called adultery sexual immorality and prostitution. That is why polygamy is a sin.
@pinkTheTinkerer@man_of_options 2. Polygamous gods are part of paganism and Mormonism. Polygamy is not an attribute or characteristic of Yahweh. He made 1 covenant with 1 nation which he called his wife. He was faithful and never broke it by pursuing “other lovers”
@pinkTheTinkerer@man_of_options 1. What men can do and ought to do are to very different things. That is what self control is for it is fruit produced by the Holy Spirit. Those who are controlled by the Spirit have sexual self control.
@pinkTheTinkerer@man_of_options Women’s desire is not the standard for how many wives a man can have. Christ is the standard. He is the faithful husband to the Church his one bride. Eph 5:22-33
1 head & 1 body. He laid down his 1 life and died 1 time for his 1 bride. So these 2 become 1 flesh.
@D_Preacher_1@ohgunwalehadeni The first was a one time judgment against the wicked pagan nation which practiced demon worship, human child sacrifice, homosexuality, and killed the old and weak for sport. The second is a normative command for all who follow Christ to include their children in the faith.
@AtheistPhoenix Why would Satan kill people for doing what he wants them to do? He wants people to rebel and sin against God just like he does. God on the other hand is giving humans justice for the evil they commit against him.
@pinkTheTinkerer@man_of_options Yes I know what polygamy is. That is when a man is too weak to be sexually self controlled and faithful to his wife so he makes loopholes to cheat and have sex with other women. The marriage and sexual ethics of the New Testament condemn those men.
If atheism is true then everyone’s world view is the result of brain chemistry and none of it is true. Brain chemistry is constantly changing. Atheists can’t even say what a true brain function would be. Congratulations you just invalidated your own argument.
The LAW OF FIRST THINGS FIRST:
If B requires A to be true, then A being false makes B false. If C, D, E, and F require B to be true, then B being false makes all of them false.
INARGUABLE FACT: If the OLD Testament is NOT TRUE, the NEW Testament and Christianity are FALSE.
WHY ON EARTH are we "Debating" the contents of the NEW Testament when the content of the OLD Testament are SO OBVIOUSLY AND DEMONSTRABLY FALSE?
@man_of_options Hypergamy is a descriptive claim not a natural rule. It only demonstrates human degenerative sexuality. Fallen sinful men want to sleep with as many women as possible. Fallen sinful women also want this but with rich powerful men.
It is just as natural as homosexuality.
