"In
Our image"- That sentence gives further proof that this "immaterial" God is not one, but many, unless you say its a typo. But that's the case in all bibles.
Jonah 1:17 Now God had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly for three days and three nights.
Come on. Don't tell me you actually believe this? This "great fish" most likely was a suBathmatearine, or something of the like, as we know these vessels now. But for the people back then it could have only been a great fish, even though the gastric juices would have digested a man quickly without any hope of him returning to open air.
Jeremiah 10:14 Every man is brutish in his lack of knowledge...
That proves humans are "primitive" or "stupid and war-like" without science.
Whoever created us, at some point decided to send a messiah who would be able to communicate worldwide what the people of Israel were the only ones to know. This was in preparation for the day when the original "mystery" would be explained in the light of scientific progress.
Micah 5:2-5 But out of you, Bethlehem, shall come a governor for Israel, and whose roots are far back in the past, in days gone by... He shall stand and be their shepherd in the strength of God...to the ends of the earth, and he shall be a man of peace.
Zechariah 9: 9-10 Exult, daughters of Jerusalem, here is your King coming forth to you...humble and carried on a mule...he will dictate peace to the nations, his empire will cover from sea to sea.
Matthew 4: 24 Sufferers from ever kind of illness were all brought to him, and he cured them.
Matthew 8: 2-3 A leper approached him... Jesus stretched out his hand, touched him and said: Be clean again. And his leprosy was cured immediately
Being forcefully spoonfed that this information was in any way "divine" or "supernatural", shows a complete lack of science. Jesus was simply curing these illnesses the same way we do know, just back then people saw them as "miracles."
Matthew 9:13 I did not come to invite virtous people, but sinners.
He did'nt come for the people of Israel, who were aware of the existence of "god", but instead so this knowledge would be spread throughout the rest of the world.
Matthew 10:32 Whoever then will acknowledge me before men, I will acknowledge him before my father who is in heaven.
"Before my father in heaven"- that says it all. "God" isn't intagible, he is in "heaven". This is obviously inconprehensible to people who at that time believed that the stars were attached to a heavenly canopy just like light bulbs, all rotating around the center of the earth. Now since the advancement of space travel and the understanding of the immensity of the universe, the old texts are brought to a light in a completely differnt way.
Isaiah 29: 20-21 For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed and all the watchers for the iniquity are cutt off. Those who by their word make man an offender, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.
This "terrible one" is indeed those people of the church, who make us believe in original sin and make us feel guilty. They lay traps for those who don't believe, and are trying to oust the just (those who speak the truth or who speak of justice). They are exactly like the people who crucified Jesus. These people were convinced that they were defending what was right without trying to understand.
So, like I said, the Bible is true, just the primitive people then tried their best to write down what they saw. In this extraordinary age of scientific discovieries, surgeries, television, the internert, video games, how can you believe in a white-bearded "God" or in a horned "devil", and scientists cannot give precise explanations of our origins?
To everyone who believed in "God" or in Jesus Christ, I say you were right in such a belief. Even If what you thought was not exactly as the church would have you believe, there was a coherent framework of truth. People are right to believe in the basis of the scriputures, but wrong to sustain the church. People that continue to hand out money to provide cardinals with vestments, and continue to allow the military and their nuclear threat, it means that people have not woken up, and they wish to stat primitive.
I see you are a closed-minded person. It is important that some reverse this attitude and be open to everything that comes from the outside, because all fear of strangers is further proof of ignorance.
Thanks for the compliment, I dont think Im a ton smarter, just a bit better informed. :D
