Apparently you count your opinion as an informed opinion. Really rich, very rich. Such is the vanity of those who think their opinions on the same bunch of words is superior to the beliefs of others. The vanity, the vanity... You would have made a fine Pharisee...
It is by all means to be believed, because it is absurd. The fact is certain because it is impossible. We have no need of speculation, after the Gospel no need of research. When we come to believe, we have no desire to believe anything else; for we begin by believing that there is nothing else which we have to believe... Tertullian
Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz: Apparently you count your opinion as an informed opinion. I have read and studied this stuff quite thoroughly. You make guesses because you obviously did not understand the texts. I already gave quite clear reasons why you were wrong, and naturally you avoided responding. Such is the vanity of those who think their opinions on the same bunch of words is superior to the beliefs of others. Not as bad as someone who throws out obviously incorrect opinions and then defends them. Take your opinions on another subject you don't understand, compared to someone who actually studied it and see what their reaction is. You would have made a fine Pharisee... You would have made a fine beggar.
Jesus embraced the beggars, and disdained the Pharisees. You read words, and yet you don't even know the author... Intellectual opinions of scripture are like empty and vain compliments...those who parade them around are truly the most fallen of souls...they just don't know it yet.
Neither. The real religion, our religion, is not based on the idiotic guilt-trip of original sin. The sooner you give up your false religion and open your eyes to the real religion, the better off you'll be.
Yes, a relationship with a false god, based on false premises like the idea that this supposed 'god' died for your sins, which is totally false. The sooner you open your eyes and face the truth, the better. Open your mind and the truth will be revealed to you.
