women's need to be great is directly the cause of the fall of man. the apple thing...
Woah, I didn't say Jesus didn't exist, I'm talking about the parable of the Prodigal Son. The Prodigal Son is a metaphor for sinners who have fallen away but repent.Well I mean Jesus was a real dude though, you can’t just say he didn’t exist. The “son of God” thing is up for debate though, as some take it literally, and others take it metaphorically (I’m of the opinion that it’s metaphorical but that’s just me).
what is in the bible was selected by men and written by men. there is a lot of text that was not included; because it in one way or another did not agree with the power at that time. for example, trinity... comes from a council of men "the council of Nicaea". the consenses were forced by the government at that time.Job was a real dude lol
The thing that doesn’t make any sense to me is firstly, how tf can you come up with all these supposedly fake stories? Who cares that much to just write all that stuff and then 1) not take credit for it, and 2) write those things in the first place? Like, I understand how parts of the Bible have changed over time (and some parts were quite literally plagiarized from the same unknown sources lol), but the fact is, those texts exist for a reason. You don’t get a huge, major world religion just popping up out of nowhere for no fkn reason lmao and you don’t get overwhelming scholarly consensus about certain aspects of said religion for no reason either. What you’re doing is, you will see what the majority of scholars say and will read what the most well-renowned scholars of religious texts say, and then hear one opinion of a heretical ‘scholar’ who in actuality is a nobody, and then declare the opinion of the heretical ‘scholar’ as correct and everyone else incorrect. Like....

The men here are entitled, thinking that by just having a c0ck, women MUST toe the line and they even dare to bring GOD into this discussion just to justify their lack of manhood.Guys think that being the boss is a title, too often. A title doesn't make you the boss...just as you don't NEED a title to be the boss. Stop leading, and you're no longer the boss.
No I’m aware of that, I’m just saying to the other dude that religions came into existence for a reason, and it wasn’t simply just due to man making it all up. Decadence is far easier and more fun to engage in than it is to be an upstanding dude like Jesus (peace be upon him). Men corrupt things (such as religion) for various reasons, that doesn’t mean that the religion itself was man-made though. At one point in time, it was legitimate.what is in the bible was selected by men and written by men. there is a lot of text that was not included; because it in one way or another did not agree with the power at that time. for example, trinity... comes from a council of men "the council of Nicaea". the consenses were forced by the government at that time.
Greek mythology was once religion. They teach it in Lit classes now because nobody actively worships Zeus et. al. So did the stories happen, or were they fiction? Hardcore Christians today might not believe an ancient Greek would have the same level of faith as the Christian does in Jesus, but that's debatable since people in antiquity saw the whims of the gods as a matter of life and death: storms, droughts, earthquakes, floods, famine, war, peace, disease, etc. And by the time the Greeks were peaking, the first Egyptian dynasty was already 2,300 years in the past, and they had their own set of gods and beliefs.The thing that doesn’t make any sense to me is firstly, how tf can you come up with all these supposedly fake stories?

I just had coworker tell me yesterday of a couple he once knew who were together 6 years....living together....get married and they don't last as a married couple even 6 more months.If a guy changes his behavior, based on a change in the official status of the relationship, he shouldn't wonder why her behavior changes, too, in response.
I think so tooNot only that, but living together is stupid, because you're living with someone you don't want to marry, and then when you don't want to live together, any longer, you think getting married will fix that. It won't. Stupid.
Agreed. And regardless, it is still up to the individual to accept it. Even if God tells you directly, you still have to decide if God's Moral Law is going to be your moral law.It's entirely possible for a religion (a man-made system of understanding the supernatural elements of existence) to be false, while the subject matter it attempts to understand isn't.
I already replied to that and you did not reply to that post. You did not read my post or are you just a broken record?Before that Jews were polytheistic, how can you say their is a devil when it wasn't a concept in the Hebrew Bible?
It was just another form of ‘devil worship’ I guess you could say, with the name of those ‘gods’ being the name of each of the devils they worshipped. They (the ‘devils’) interacted with people a lot more back then than they do now, which is why people back then were so much more superstitious than we are today. It’s how the ancient Greeks and Egyptians, etc. had structures built that we ourselves aren’t able to build today, like perfectly hollowed our graves carved with such precision that not even laser technology today could compete with (even though they only had stone hammers and picks and stuff like that lol; these were the Egyptians). That’s the secret for how they built the pyramids (the slave thing raises more questions than it does answers so no, it wasn’t slaves who built them).Greek mythology was once religion.

Sometimes it’s just the title that changes the relationship dynamics though, i.e. Husband wants a blowjob, wifey responds “Oh no honey, I don’t do that anymore. We’re married, remember?”Not only that, but living together is stupid, because you're living with someone you don't want to marry, and then when you don't want to live together, any longer, you think getting married will fix that. It won't. Stupid.
Bro I’m sorry but this is bull****. Every single example you gave has demons. Some just say “evil spirits” lol but it’s the same **** lmao just quit bro. And pagans DEFINITELY has demons in their religions, they just called them something else back then (jinn, since most of them were around Arabia at the time). You’re talking out of your ass now dude."God" interfered with free will multiple times in the Bible. All these answers were pretty bad and shows we have a long way to go for accepting personal human responsibility. Believing in the Bible is a matter of being born in places where it's cultural acceptable to believe. If you were born in India you would believe in Braham and have no concept of the devil. If you were born an aboriginal you would have no concept of the devil. If you were born in Africa you would have no no concept of the devil. But low and behold a highly edited, mistranslated, poorly copied book contains the concept. So are all these other cultures wrong? Even though it's evident the stories were borrowed and changed up? The main believe of good verse evil comes from zoroastrianism. Before that Jews were polytheistic, how can you say their is a devil when it wasn't a concept in the Hebrew Bible? But since it's a Christian concept it's real? I'm done I provided top sources from Bible scholars around the world that study the Bible for a living all versions. Why would I listen to some random person on the internet who barely has a GED or even read the Bible and under stand the words from their root
I don’t want children.Don't marry.
...unless you want children.
I was your age when I started fighting tooth and nail to get fixed.I don’t want children.
But even if I had kids, I wouldn’t marry either lol
There's a saying that when the ring goes on, things change. There's a sense of entitlement and ownership that comes into play.I just had coworker tell me yesterday of a couple he once knew who were together 6 years....living together....get married and they don't last as a married couple even 6 more months.
The titles changed.
Entitlement/ownership should already be evident. I'm going to keep saying from the first moment each realised an attraction.There's a saying that when the ring goes on, things change. There's a sense of entitlement and ownership that comes into play.
