  It's really quite the clever bit of dogma, isn't it?
  
  You tell people to go out and deliver a message that is well at-odds with reality, then you tell them people will disbelieve them.
  
  That's not special, anyone could have predicted that. The brilliant part is pretending your prediction made through common sense is divinely delivered prophecy.
  
  Convince your followers that rational reactions to their behavior are the machinations of a great enemy spirit of the signs of revealed prophecy and they are trapped in a belief reinforced by every conflicted bit of evidence brought to them.

  good one. I like the 'last days' part. That fits my prophetic understanding swimmingly. But it is no more important than exposing the hearts of the mockers either.

  To those who have ears to hear let them also understand. To those who have Gods Holy Spirit; to them be discerning. From the moment the bride was betrothed to Roma she was corrupted. Her children have been the harbingers of Murder, Greed and Slavery. Their conquests have blinded the entire world and those who claim to know the master and be of him. From that day to this "The Way" is unknown accept by a few.
  
  Without the Holy Spirit you cannot know God to interpret that which is seen. How then can you purpose to understand that which is unseen?

Aside from the comedic relief, in the last days, we are to be confonted by false prophets and of course the anti-christ who will be someone we have been led to trust. A charismatic leader-type who presents to us everything we had hoped for. In reality, we're being led right down the road to our own demise.

  Healthy skepticism of the intentions of politicians or other leaders is all well and good, but that's a poisonous bit of thinking. It teaches you to fear the people who could lead from all sorts of troubles to all sorts of prosperity. The clearer the plan, the nobler the intentions of some poor, well-meaning leader the more likely you are to superimpose the greatest of all your phantoms on him.
  
  Fear progress, fear reform, fear peace...

  Sandra, Job knew, even back in the OT that there would be those who would deceive. I&II Timothy along with Titus outlines the issue with regards to the Pastoral Epistles and Jeremiah 23 (in its entirety) relates God's displeasure with prophets who use their position for their own purpose. Hence, false teachers.

  I am one who doesn't lean on throwing the Bible at someone. That never works and they won't wade through it all. Those who already know it don't need it and the others won't read it, so I only use it to substantiate a position once I am entirely sure it is within context.

  Having not ever had the pleasure of meeting your friend Freddie, I would have to say that while I was not around in those times, the hate factor exudes from mankind and in his everpresent need to control and dominate others. I once worked for an agency whose unwritten mantra was,"The ends justify the means." That might work in certain circumstances, though it must be reconciled with the goal(s)set forth and the rules by which the game is played.

  Hi friends
  
  The Scripture should not be followed blindly; but with reason , rationality and logical arguments. If one finds contradictions in the Scriptures ; one should follow which is reasonable.
  
  Jesus did not write any Scriptures , he did not even dicate one; he did not even authorize anybody to write on his behalf.
  What we find as Gospels were written by his deserting disciples, he did not stand with him when Jesus needed them most. These were the disciples who sided with Paul and wrote what suited Paul. Like Paul they neither believed Jesus nor his teachings, at least that is what we see in the Gospels.

  Not the same disciples; the Gospel writers fled away and deserted him; it is very much written in the Gospels, if you like I will quote it from Matthew.
  
  Joseph the Armithea, Nicodemus were the ones who took Jesus hurriedly to a tomb and treated him for his injuries inflicted on him on the Cross.

  Frankly, you are correct. There rarely is a shortage of human voices. Unfortunately, we do not know the hidden agendas behind those voices. What are their motivations? Why are the telling me this? It is for that reason I watch. Such things will be exposed. I can remember many years ago in one particular country I waited with a team for over eight solid hours. Stock still. Waiting patiently for the adversary to appear. They did.
  
  Here's my point. Initial and superficial observations rarely give us what we need for a solid decision. So, we wait. Patience coupled with the experience borne of perseverance and wisdom allows us to see what's needed to them effect our options.

I had a nice old beat on Fender Precision with a Sunn Coliseum head with a Sunn 415B bottom which had 2 15" speakers. I used D'Addario ground half-round strings because I found the Rotosounds, which were somewhat popular, would chew the neck up. Messed with the intonation as well.

  I play a Fender Jazz bass with twin single coil pickups. I also like to use Fender light or medium light gauge flatwound strings, preferably stainless steel. I just bought a new amp because my old fender amp head bit the dust. I bought a Kustom and a speaker cabinet with 4-10s in it. I also use my 15 Fender cabinet and it sounds great.

  You got a hot setup! I always liked a a Fender Jazz. Nice neck.
  
  For a while, I played a Gibson Ripper (which was blonde) with the same amplifier setup and also a Gibson EB3. Many wondered why I chose an old EB3, but the combination of the power and warm sound of a tube amp and the quick neck on an EB3, I could pull off some Stanley Clarke/Jaco Pastorious licks that really had punch.
  
  I guess that if there was one thing I'd do for myself personally right now it would be to pick up a nice bass with an powerful amp and then go join the praise team.

  Okay, this metaphor has been stretched to its breaking point.
  
  Speaking literally, shepherds might be perfectly nice people, but they eat sheep. More than wolves do.
  
  Sure, shepherds might seem to protect a sheep from a wolf, but a large wolf might seem to protect a sheep from a smaller, weaker wolf. The shepherd's just the biggest, most cunning wolf.
  
  I think that's alternately funny and sad... It's funny because Christians like to accuse atheists of being wolves, and say that their shepherd will protect them from us nasty, nasty wolves, but really a sheep has far more to fear from its shepherd than it does a wolf.
  
  To say, "I am a sheep, you are a wolf, my shepherd will protect me from you..." the sheep in the analogy subjects itself to a terrific threat to protect itself from a minor one. Out of fear of a small wolf it submits itself to a great one.
  
  Sheep are destroyed in great numbers by their stupid reliance on a protector who does not have their best interest at heart. That someone would disagree with me, then immediately compare themselves to that dumb creature... I can't help but laugh.
  
  It's sad because the truth is no one ever wrote a list of threats for disobedience, impossible rewards for obedience, and rules for avoiding everyone who isn't part of "the collective" because they've had anything but their own selfish interests at heart. It's the sort of thing said by the kinds of people who, at the very least, want to keep the option to spend human lives like currency open. They need their followers as dumb as sheep for it to work, though.
  
  That's why it's so important to keep them separated from dissenting ideas, to teach them to value obedience over their own wisdom.
  
  A sheep is a stupid creature that dooms itself, and for someone to haughtily compare themselves to it makes me laugh a little. But a sheep is also a tragic creature, and when the analogy holds true it's sad.

  You are absolutely correct. Sheep are immediately taught to fear the wolf, so they are wary of his presence which makes it difficult for the wolf to do his thing. That is the outward wolf. The one we can see readily.
  
  The inward wold who has the trust of the flock is in a much better position to do serious damage and for this precise reason, we must always be wary of certain ones alluding to a shepherd position.

  I think it takes time and patience to make a lot of money here, but there are other ways that work too. Write a good book that people will read and market it professionally for example. High quality "How to" books backed by quality free information from a squeeze page for collecting a subscriber list and hey presto! Customers!

  You said you don't get involved in the arguments. but you do. the lack of antagonistic replies doesn't make you less active. It only implies you're passive debating.

  So much for a straight answer. Oh, well. Anyway,the initial point was I do not jump into the name calling, insults, antagonistic approach nor do I fall into the no-win trap of comparing faiths. Secondly, taking the position that anything is "implied" involves an opinion for an "implication" to be recognized as such.

  You know, I have to wonder at the mentality of some of the Christians posting here. People just typing up nasty things and insulting each other's intelligence has a nasty feel to it, but a collection of threats and insults drawn from the Bible is just on a whole other level.
  
  I mean, someone might insult me with their own words and I'm like, Man, that guy's a dick."
  
  But you start trying to get threats and insults across with Bible quotes and it's like, "Wow, these people are speaking with the voice of a barely-sentient monster who seems to transcend the limits of human ignorance and hatred."
  
  Every line is just fleshes out the god of the bible as a frothing psychopath.
  
  If I hadn't started out hating the ideal the biblical god represents, I'd hate it by now. What are they thinking?

  That'd be kinda nice if it didn't follow all the other stuff. In proper context it's creepy.
  
  The alternating kindness and cruelty, it's how you "break a spirit," so to speak. Render a will both terrified of and dependent on you. Rule another being totally.
  
  I don't think it's a coincidence that nice bits made the cut alongside horrifying ones.

  Perhaps Through these scriptures I am simply finding fresh comfort in how I live. I have never debated what I believe in on these forums. Once I admitted I was a Christian while responding to a thread, certain hubbers started chiding and taunting and brutally mocking.
  But tonight on this thread, I immersed myself in the Word and found peace. I should thank Sandra for this thread - Thank you. And I must thank the mockers as they have no power to wound me anymore. I still do not feel the need to debate my beliefs, never did, and the mocking was there anyways. Didn't make sense until now Holly

  Why do you worry so much about idols and false gods? If they are unreal, YHVH will prevail, you'll be in with your harps and everyone else will burn. If they offer another path to salvation, that which is beyond all gods will presumably offer you a nice walled-off section of the afterworld so that you will never know anyone else is there apart from you, since otherwise you would not be able to enjoy the afterlife to the full.

  Ah, one of these. There are the obvious prophecy bits, like how people aren't going to believe you when you tell them impossible things, and the false ones that it seems a lot of Christians want to believe. This is in that second category.
  
  I was accused of being cynical earlier, but this has, quite simply, not come to pass.

WriteAngledposted 14 years ago
Actually, the main issue that led me to leave Christian dogma was the insistence that only Christians can be saved. This issue troubled me from about the age of 13. You see, if there are people I love in this life, who are not "believers", Christianity tells me they will burn in hell. Now, suppose I take the obligatory steps to salvation. I'll end up sneaking through the pearly gates, but people I loved will be left thrown to the flames below.

Christian dogma states we enter into eternity with our full personalities as known here. For me, this means I would not be in paradise but in hell. Sorry, the presence of God, Jesus, the saints, seraphim, cherubim and whatever other entities will not compensate for the fact that people I knew and loved in this life will not be there with me. I might as well be in eternal flames with those I loved or else find another metaphysical solution to the dilemma.
