Well maybe for you but not for me.....I can't imagine God letting the New Testament be around for as long as it has.....If He didn't have is Almighty hand in it.....Would that make sense to you? And also remember the men that wrote the New Testament were very intelligent smart men.......But hey you believe as you wish.....your choice.....your free will.

This kind of argument is silly.

Why would God allow pantheism to be around for even longer? I guess that means he likes pantheism even more.

Also, the vast majority of humanity throughout all of history up to and including today have always been predominantly pantheistic in their spiritual views.

The stats stating that Christianity is currently the world’s largest religion is actually a falsity. They just lump all the various denominations, including any individuals who are willing to check the box mark “Christianity” into one contiguous religion. When in fact those people have greatly differing views.

Then they break up all the pantheistic religions into smaller individual groups based on their specific beliefs.

In truth the majority of the world is pantheistic and it has been around even longer than Christianity. Much longer. So then by your logic God must favor Pantheism.

Wouldn’t that make sense to you?

Sorry abra but your religion or whatever you want to call it is actually derived from other religions......

Hinduism is generally considered to be the oldest religion still being practiced today. This ancient religion was born when the Aryan peoples migrated to Northern India and first put their religious tradition into writing. The texts they created are the Vedas, which were written around 1,500 B.C.E. (before common era) and have greatly influenced Indian culture ever since.



Christianity from this.....
Several other religions are almost as old as Hinduism. Judaism traces its roots back to the patriarch Abraham, who lived around 1,800 B.C.E. While the Jewish people are descended from Abraham, it was Moses who first recorded the Torah, the Jewish holy text, in 1,400 B.C.E. Most sources consider the date of the Torah as the beginning of Judaism.


So once again your wrong

It’s not a religion hon.

It’s just knowing the true nature of a God that truly offers unconditional love is all.

Let’s face it, Christianity is all about sin and damnation. It’s a man-made dogma that people use to judge the fate of others in the hope that they can judge them. Christianity is the epitome of being unable to forgive your enemies.

If God had asked man to forgive his enemies, than surely this is something he could actually do himself. Therefore God would forgive everyone. For God to do any less would go against his own request of men.

The idea that not believing in a particular dogma would be ‘unforgivable’ is utterly absurd.

A God who plays hide-and-seek and guessing-games and condemns all who guess wrong to eternal damnation would be pathetically beneath his own teachings.

There’s no way that anyone can justify the idea that a God would judge people who guess wrong about a dogma that portrays God to be a heartless villain concerning people who didn’t believe that he would be a heartless villain.

The pantheistic view of God is ‘perfection’. It represents complete and unadulterated pure unconditional love. That’s perfect. All ideas of evil in this picture are human judgments, not God’s judgments. It’s a perfect picture of God. To imply that God is less than this picture implies that God is less than perfect. It’s actually an insult to God to believe that he could be like the biblical stories suggest.

Fortunately for Christians, God doesn’t mind being insulted.

this Bible passage has been getting a lot of traction lately, as viewed from my seat at the table.

It comes from a speech made by a friend of mine. Others have called it, The Sermon On The Mount.

Luke 6:36-38.

Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

Well maybe your......your own form of pantiest....the ones I know derive from other religions...and if you want to believe you are god, your god is a woman, the trees are god, the flowers are god, who am I to judge. And since you honestly don't have a clue about mine.....I would therefore not judge it......for their is only one judge sweet abra and it isn't you.

right on wouldee........

You make my point exactly. It would be ridiculous to think that God has turned his back on these people just because they died young or in a bizarre way. So that is why your list at the beginning is so ridiculous. Just as an example John Lennon was a peaceful man that fought for world peace all the time. I know that he was one of the great men talking about what was important in society. I think he has done just as much as Jesus did for our society. So when I see you write something that tries and say this good and peaceful man was punished, that disturbs me. Peaceful people die all the time, it is the nature of the world. You want to believe it is the nature of your God to kill people I feel sorry for you.

I think the original posting is vile.Its judgemental and tells all the grieving loved ones left behind that someones early demise was the loved ones fault.poppycock.Explain the infants,the children,the devout.God knows whats in peoples hearts and doesn't judge them based on quips,a moment of doubt or non belief.We all break the commandments everyday so whom ever wrote that judgemental piece of trash best look over their shoulder because they claim to know the will of God which don't sit well with Him or me.

It is what it is....and sugar coating it doesn't make it not so. And where did you get from that posting that it was the loved ones fault. And honestly don't understand your rant truly.

How can you be so blind feral. When I show you your own people that die early you say they are on the way to God and they just live in a dangerous place. We point out that it is exactly the same for the people you mention in your original post and you seem surprised. Open your eyes.

so rabbit go somewhere else for your neverending want to fight....not gonna do it.

It’s not her eyes that are the problem Reverend Rabbit.

yea the problem was abra not going to tahiti with me.

Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

“If you will think of ourselves as coming out of the earth, rather than having been thrown in here from somewhere else, you see that we are the earth, we are the consciousness of the earth. These are the eyes of the Earth. And this is the voice of the earth.” - Joseph Campbell
