Just quoting from your own book... “I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel… even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed!” (Galatians 1:6-8) Every church / denomination has a different slant on how they interpret 'Gods Word'.
I'm not gonna change your mind, you're not gonna change mine. You are jaded from something...but false information presented as fact is not good. All denominations of Christianity believe the same basic tenants of salvation. (Catholicism is not included.) Perhaps a minor difference in that slant, but again not the basics of salvation. You can pull any verse out to cover any thought or point of view, but pulling out of context is not appropriate. Paul was referring to those that would lead them out of belief of Christ and who He was, thus out of Christianity. Not the minor stuff of say baptism and tongues and ....
Interesting what you mention. How do you know what Paul was thinking 2000 years ago? Why is it anyone who disputes christianity pulls stuff out of context, but christians hold all the truth, they know the mind of God, they know the mind of Paul, they know the mind of scripture. Never mind, that if you read Wiki on scripture, time and again there are documented numerous interpretations from the scholars.
It's called context because you view the entire surrounding writing. Not just a single verse. "Jesus wept" perhaps he stubbed his toe and it hurt? Context. Neither said nor implied christians did it right and non-christians did it wrong. Yep lots of different views. But not on the basics of salvation. God, Christ, Spirit, redemption.
And where did you pull that from? "Oh the bible of course". Its a circular argument from you guys, like creating a math formula which proves the same formula is right. Humans write a book which they say is from God and then use it to supposedly prove it's from God. Hilarious that you guys believe this stuff!
So some CHOOSE to believe. The real sad part is your need to try and prove them wrong. Why not just let them live in their delusion? (Speaking of any religion that does not say "believe or die") And here you are saying "your are wrong, you should believe what I believe." Hope this attitude makes you feel better about yourself - putting other people down.
Amazing isn't it? That's Christian doctrine to a tee! But not only believe what I believe, there's a sting, "don't believe what I believe and you're off to hell" and then tell us what hell is - eternal suffering in fire. One thing christians never concede is their hypocrisy.
Cursed for believing something different. Remembering, it's humans (ie christians, not God) who demand what others should believe.
The Jews too. Jehova was all like "You shall not have any Gods before me" and Jesus was like "I got this Dad, hold my beer."
As soon as christians state that a book written by humans comes from God, that seals their fate to narrow minded blinkered beliefs, with no room to move.
