if you reject Jesus can you write why in the replies

>>81678610 (OP)
This world is too disgusting and cruel for there to be a divine being that loves me unconditionally, it doesn't make sense.

>>81678617
if God is all good and all knowing and all powerful why cant the world be cruel and unjust for reasons we dont know

>>81678610 (OP)
i don't reject him, but i dont wanna accept him either
jesus is like, right there on the sidelines cheering me on but i'm here tryna focus on myself

>>81678627
Of course you're some low-IQ ESL.
I guess it is just a cope for you guys, maybe it's the comforts of my country that allow me to look at all the suffering in the world and weep.

>>81678647
if you dont accept him then you are rejecting him

>>81678659
what i'm trying to say is that i wanna keep him around as an orbiter, a back-up in case shit goes south

I see no compelling reason to believe in the biblical version of him. The OT is full of bad history and wacky magical woo-woo and a lot of the NT was written long after Jesus was dead. Even if it wasn't I'm simply not going to believe in a man with magic powers.

BECAUSE YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT HOW MANY THERE ARE I AM NEVER GONNA DIE AM I?

>>81678610 (OP)
I prayed to Jesus constantly when I was a child not once was my prayer answered.

>>81678667
Jesus Christ claims to be God and says you have to put him first in your life above all else though

>>81678670
even if the old testament and new testament is not accepted by u, Jesus Christ isnt a magic man hes God in human form

>>81678680
well i dont wanna put him first, i wanna put me first

>>81678678
even if your prayers were never answered Jesus is still a historical figure and the gospels are a relialbe source about his life and who he is so dont give up in Jesus just because your prayers werent answerd

>>81678694
Okay, I find no compelling evidence that any of this is true.

>>81678696
your choosing the broad path to hell instead of the narrow gate to heaven then

>>81678716
what amount of evidence would make you believe in Jesus Christ

>>81678721
okay :)
i'll say hi to my grandad there

>>81678728
If God/Jesus himself came down from heaven and started doing insane miracles that no mortal man could replicate in front of a crowd. If it was in front of just me alone I'd probably think I was having a schizo episode or something.

forgiveness is the greatest sin and it destroyed the western man

The whole story is kinda weird. God wants to save us from hell and from satan (that he allowed to exist in the first place), which is a punishment for our wicked nature (that he knew about from the very beginning, and created us that way).

Practically, we should be grateful because god solved an issue that was created by god in the first place, and to dedicate our whole life on earth to stroking his ego and telling him how great he is, and ideally not asking anything 'wordly' of him.

It all sounds extremely lame and boring and narcissistic

>>81678754
he did do this though... in the gospels he does plenty of miralces infront of crowds

>>81678610 (OP)
I reject Jesus based on faith and therefore do not need to provide reasons.

>>81678764
God solved an issue created by humans rebelling against God and became man to redeem us giving his sinless life as a ransom for us.

>>81678769
>just trust me bro
I'm not taking some dusty old books word for it.

>>81678777
whats your faith though
>>81678790
then you have to reject the majority of history then

>>81678787
>God solved an issue created by humans rebelling against God

If god is all knowing then he knew this would be the outcome even before he created us, thus knowingly creating a cycle of torture and suffering for the lols. Imagine knowingly pushing bugs to production

>>81678787
>and became man to redeem us giving his sinless life as a ransom for us
I don't see why that is necessary, other than for pure flexing reasons. If god is all powerful, the whole situation could've been fixed without turning into a man and enduring torture

>>81678610 (OP)
Why has he allowed me to be tortured and abused by people for my entire life

>>81678794
The majority of history is much more well corroborated than the Bible. Like I said most of the NT was written long after Jesus was dead.

>>81678808
just becuase God knew what was gonna happen doesnt mean he forced it to happen, he gave us freewill and we chose to rebel against him and the cross is nessescary because its where God's justice and mercy overlap the most.God isnt just gonna ignore sin and say its forgiven, then he wouldnt be just, so he took the punishment for us
>>81678810
this world is cruel and messed up but God is all good and loves us

>>81678822
whats your issue with the bible, all the parts written in historical narritive pass the tests of being reliable and actual history, and the new testament was written at the most 70 years after Jesus died and thats the oldest book in the nt, the youngest is written like 30 years after

>>81678835
Some guy telling a fantastical story about another guy close to 100 years after his death is not compelling evidence.

Fatigued to the point of boredom is why i made that post anyway

>>81678848
its not a fantastical story its a historical narritive and revelation was the oldest book not any of the gospels.

>>81678825
>just becuase God knew what was gonna happen doesnt mean he forced it to happen, he gave us freewill and we chose to rebel against him
Then what was the point of that? Having underlings who are obligated to stroke your ego, with the alternative of burning in hell for eternity? The whole story sounds very narcissistic and human.

I do believe some god exists, but certainly not a jealous, narcissistic god like this one.

yes richfad, it means you live in a house

>>81678864
humans are not obligated to worship God and hell is when God says your will be done instead of his and your will (all of our will) leads to hell, God's will leads to heaven. if you had a kid and that kid was giving his attention to a drug dealer instead of u i hope you would be jealous. same thing with God. God loves us and is jealous.. thats not a bad thing

>>81678794
My faith is rejecting Jesus

>>81678856
Yes a man walking on water, healing wounds with his hands, turning water into wine and resurrecting is indeed fantastical. Mark, Matthew, John and Luke were written decades after Jesus's death. That's not reliable information. Thats not something I would base my entire life around. If that's enough for you that's fine.

>>81678897
i hope you turn to Jesus Christ one day and put your faith and trust in him

>>81678878
>God is an invisible jewish sky wizard who needs your constant attention and worship or else he throws you into pain jail

Yeah, no. God is more like a force of nature that permeates the universe. It isnt a thing that needs anything from humans it simply is. People who anthropomorphize God are no better than polytheisic savages worshipping pagan idols

>>81678903
I hope one day you conqueror your schizophrenia and join the rest of rational humanity.

>>81678908
i would think God is just a force and not a personal being either if it wasnt for Jesus Christ and the reliability of the gospels that point to Jesus Christ telling the truth when he said he's God in human form revealing God's character

>>81678903
Thanks for that chat anon. I'm not >>81678915 BTW.

>>81678878
>hell is when God says your will be done instead of his
My will is to fuck asian qts, anon

>>81678908
This. My opinion on our God (an actual creator of this universe, if a being did so intentionally) is that they simply do not care about us. Maybe they'll be nice and offer us all a good afterlife, if not then after we die it's just nothing. But I find the Christian faith hard to believe at all.

>>81678971
that leads to hell

>>81678627
Because then your all-knowing god, who is aware of the cruelty and unfairness simply becomes a malicious god. He has the power to intervene and the knowledge that bad shit is going down...yet he chooses to do nothing about it.

>>81679078
just because God knows about evil doesnt maake him a malicious God.. how do you know hes not doing something about evil right now? or has a reason for evil to exist that we dont understand? do you fully understand God and all of his reasons?

>>81678610 (OP)
I'm predestined to go to hell so idrc

>>81679101
no youre not you have freewill to believe in Jesus and be sealed with the holy spirit the moment u believe (meaning u go to heaven no matte rwat afterwards)

>>81679093
>how do you know hes not doing something about evil right now?
How about the many people dying in excruciating pain from diseases, disasters, accidents, crimes and wars right now? Why isn't your all-powerful, all-knowing deity not help them all at once? Do you realize that being passive to evil while you're all-powerful and all-knowing makes you complcit in that evil?
>do you fully understand God and all of his reasons?
All I understand as a 128IQ individual is that your belief and other religious beliefs make zero sense and you only need very simple logical reasoning skills to figure out that it's a bunch of bullshit. You have to be some serious brainlet to still believe in this stuff nowadays. I can't stress enough how stupid you and other religious people look from my POV.

>>81679184
why cant God have reasons for letting things happen that we dont understand? can you grant God that? that hes smarter than you and has reasons u dont understand? also doesnt the person with the highest iq in the world right now believe in Jesus Christ..

There are reasonable arguments for this world being "hell" that's why Satanists rule the world

>>81679249
if this world was hell nothing good would be in it

>>81679222
>why cant God have reasons for letting things happen that we dont understand?
Because allowing newborns to die of cancer or allowing people to be bombed while sleeping in their beds in Ukraine/Gaza makes no sense at all, no matter how you cut it. For example, if god was going to let these people die in pain anyway, he could've just made their parents infertile to skip the misery.
As I said, no matter how you cut it, suffering cannot exist in a world created by a supposedly perfect, all-knowing and all-powerful being. Either your god is just a myth or he exists but willingly allows suffering in the world he created, which makes him unworthy of any prayers.

>>81678610 (OP)
Did Jesus read the bible? No. He's not a true Christian. He could be Jewish though.

>>81679288
id have to be crazy to think a 128 iq human can say what God can and cant do and believe them. God is infinately smarter than u so yes he can have a reason for allowing suffering that we dont know

>>81679263
But maybe good exists just so that there is hope, if there was no hope, people wouldn't fight and compete, no abuse, domination or bullying would be possible if we were all at the bottom. People would just lay down and not care. I am edgy i know

>>81679322
trust me having no hope is worse than having a little hope (we actually have alot of hope in this world) so i still dont accept that this world is hell coz its not

>>81679318
God does not exist, obviously. To repeat myself:
>I can't stress enough how stupid you and other religious people look from my POV.
I hope you wake up from the delusion one day.

>>81679369
i hope you believe in Jesus Christ and repent one day because hes telling the truth when he says everything he says

When I see ojamajos I know that God is real and that God is love.

>>81679392
*hud* doremifrens!! ^_^

>>81679339
You are wholesome Christian poster, I hope you are correct

>>81679369
How the fuck do you know? I can understand not being sure

>>81678610 (OP)
there is no evidence for anything in the bible
if I needed a god I'd pray to something like atua

>>81678610 (OP)
>if you reject Jesus can you write why in the replies
not religious

jesus has got to be the funniest way a woman ever got out of being caught cheating in history.
>marry some random dude named joseph
>not that great in bed so you sleep around
>get knocked up despite you not even sleeping with joseph cause he's just a nice guy
>tell your husband that GOD himself impregnated you with an angel
>he and everyone else in the village believes you
>your son goes on to be praised as a messiah from god
>found entire modern religion off hiding your adultery
like lmfao how did joseph fall for that?

>>81679413
If you know anything of modern science, how big the universe is, how small earth and humanity is, how much uncaring unfeeling phenomenon that could kill us all in a second exists out in space. Why would you think that humanity (of ALL life on earth especially) is THE thing that god is closest to in this universe? Anthropocentrism is so silly. We're not special bro, we're primates with a surprising amount of primate tendencies if you look into it.

>>81679947
What does the size of it have to do with anything? btw I used to think like this back when I was like like 20, thinking I was so smart and these primitive beings were all worshipping the sky going crazy. Then I realized that it might not be so simple as what science says about the universe. Atheists are not the elite at the top of the world, Satanists are. I'm not saying any mainstream religion has all the answers but I'm saying there WAS a creator and there are spiritual beings out there, just because you cant see something, doesn't mean it isn't there.

In almost all the biggest video games, music, movies there are deep references to spiritual beliefs that I never noticed when I was younger, its not a bunch of crazy old rednecks that believe this stuff

>>81678610 (OP)
I simply don't believe Mary was a virgin or that he died and resurrected or performed other miracles. I'm not saying it's not true, I just don't believe it and presumably never will. He seemed pretty based though.

>>81680286
I believe that the universe has existed forever and that it simply goes through periods of expansion which is what we're currently experiencing and was caused by the big bang.

>>81678610 (OP)
Too shit of a human being. He'd probably laugh at me trying to enter heaven.

>>81678610 (OP)
i reject jesus bc he was wrong about what the messiah is and yet presumed to teach it

>>81680513
Has it really existed forever if the big bang created it? Why can't there be a being or multiple beings behind all of it? What about the idea of reality being a simulation? That god is a AI and all this is living inside an computers program as some kind of energy source. You know how much of the bible has been changed or removed? You know there's a part where adam remembers where we really came from? I know its all pretty crazy stuff, but I really don't see the atheist explanation any more or less crazy

>>81679913
that is some big cuck stuff lol. Imagine being cucked by god.

>>81680692
He wants you to enter heaven.. that's why he died on the cross
