Gospel of Thomas 29:
If the flesh came into being because of the spirit, it is a wonder. But if the spirit came into being because of the body, it is a wonder of wonders. But as for me, I wonder at this, how this great wealth made its home in this poverty.
@Haryomikun18@Machi1Nne Did Jesus suffer? Yes. Is he now? No. Suffering is not permanant, only temporary. Anyone who suffers or dies will be delivered form that temporary state in eternal life.
@JeffHalverson5@iamAtheistGirl Oh you mean when God punished the wicked? And by the definition of a sociopath, God doesn’t fit. We couldn’t have a more loving and patient God, who has given humanity countless chances to repent and obey him, yet they choose to love sin, and be proud of it.
@JeffHalverson5@iamAtheistGirl Jesus is simply not fiction just because you say he is, you don’t have that power over reality, because you aren’t God, even though you act like you are. As I said, self worship.
“Exactly as you do” uh I’d hope I’m following Christs command. But if Jesus says in Matthew 6 not to mark your head for a fast, yet Catholics mark their fast on Ash Wednesday, then they are openly disobeying Christ, they aren’t Catholics. It’s not MY way of following, there simply is only one path.
@JeffHalverson5@oneill_greg@graves_aar85283@iamAtheistGirl How? Humanity will never agree on anything that’s the whole point, Jesus said he did not come to bring peace but a sword, that only discord and strife would follow him, and he was right.
@JeffHalverson5@oneill_greg@graves_aar85283@iamAtheistGirl And no, Historians all agree Jesus existed and was killed under Pontius Pilate for blasphemy, he is not “fictional”. My intense curiosity for History lead me to Christ, the way the truth and the life.
How were you following Christ exactly? If you believe in Jesus Christ, then you receive the Holy Spirit as an advocate, which affirms you in the truth. Since you left the faith, you never had the Holy Spirit, never accepted Christ in your heart, you were never Christian in the first place. It’s ver simple.
@JeffHalverson5@oneill_greg@graves_aar85283@iamAtheistGirl Oh you were a Catholic you mean? The Roman Synagogue of Satan that does everything Christ forbade? See, you were never Christian because you were never following Christ, in name only.
@JeffHalverson5@oneill_greg@graves_aar85283@iamAtheistGirl Uh no, I have seen many testimonies of Jews born in Israel and Muslims born in the Middle East who have converted to Christ. No matter where his flock is born, Christ draws them to him.
