” Your points are so ridiculously juvenile.”
No, I demonstrated in the span of little more than an hour, that Christians are hypocrates, that judge others based on their own beliefs-and their beliefs have very little to do with the written word. The Bible says nothing about Jesus being nailed to anything, yet they insist that I am wrong to say so.
The Bible has a special message for you: Mene,Mene,u-Pharsin
I find this chatter4 post, found in the comments under his YouTube video "Who or what is Lucifer? Pt 1", to be IMO more illuminating than all of his posts on FR combined. Check it out:
The serpent has always been the symbol of enlightenment, but in the Bible, the serpent is a symbol of both good and evil. Look at the story of St. Patrick destroying the serpents in Ireland. What he did in fact is bring Roman Catholism to the isle, and destroyed those that knew the truth.
Insofar as the significance of the Cross to all humanity is concerned, in many ways it really doesn’t matter if our Lord Christ Jesus was nailed, tied, Velcro’d or welded to the Cross.
The significant issue is that in His humanity, He remained faithful to the Plan of God the Father in going to the Cross, having all of humanity’s personal sins imputed to Him, and Him being judged for them in sacrificial atonement, redeeming all sin of mankind, by being judged for sin on the Cross.
He redeemed the sins of humanity, atoned for us sacrificially, reconciling man to God the Father, and propitiated His wrath, thereby providing the Perfect Sacrifice, which met the Perfect Justice of God in His Perfect Righteousness, by which now God the Father is free in His perfect Justice and righteousness to provide us a regenerated spirit by His grace and mercy immediately whenever any believer exercised just a little more faith than no faith whatsoever in what Christ performed in the Cross.
Boy, two points.
- Don’t insult my faith. Pisses me off royally.
- You’re on the wrong site.
” But Thomas (who was called the Twin), one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe.” A week later his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were shut, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt but believe.” Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.” Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book. But these are written so that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through believing you may have life in his name.” John 20
Read John chapter 20 and tell us again that Jesus was not “nailed to any thing”!
