Christianity/Bible ask me anything

Who are the good guys?

Explain Isaiah 63 pls

Anyone who follows Christ's commands: love God, love your neighbor as yourself, abstain from evil, and repent of your sins.

I scanned it. It's kind of self-explanatory. Which part would you like me to explain?

Genesis 1:26
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”

King James Version (KJV)

Who are us. That God is referring to ?

Either Himself or the angels.

I know God talks to Himself. I also know that one of the living creatures had a face like that of a man.

Have you ever read the original Bible in it's original script? Why has the church changed so many things over time? How is it still considered the word of God? Do you have any other arguments for the evil unleashed in this world other than free will? Do you believe, as I do, that Satan destroyed God centuries ago and is now pulling all the strings? Where is ur God?

Have you ever read the original Bible in it's original script?

No.

Why has the church changed so many things over time?

Because the church is made of men. Men do that.

How is it still considered the word of God?

That is a difficult question because the explanation is such a long one. TL;DR is 99% of the text is confirmed by ancient manuscripts. The other 1% (probably less actually) is questionable due to errors in the replication of manuscripts and other factors.

Do you have any other arguments for the evil unleashed in this world other than free will?

If you have a choice to hurt someone or help someone, that is free will. What other argument do you need? If we didn't have the choice, we'd be God's robots.

Do you believe, as I do, that Satan destroyed God centuries ago and is now pulling all the strings?

No, I do not believe that, nor is it true.

Where is ur God?

He is in Heaven. He is also in everything and above everything. He exists within all Creation, while simultaneously existing in all dimensions (as we would define it) beyond it.

Did God create the universe, or just Earth?

Why would God put ‘Thou shalt not kill’ into the 10 Commandments and present it to Moses and the Israelites when he is planning to order them to kill anyway later in their journey.

Us is the Trinity.

If Jesus is "God the son" and the trinity is "Father,son, holy spirit" then it should follows that Jesus as much of "God" as the Father. Yet, Jesus taught his followers to only worship/pray to the FATHER. The Lord's Prayer that Jesus directly taught is addressed to the Father. But not the son Or the holy spirit.

Why do you think that is?

Note: I'm not asking because I want to learn anything from you. I've already studied the matter at hand and reached my own conclusions.

I'm just curious to know what YOUR answer is.

Numbers
And the Lord spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying, Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, after their families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of their names, every male by their polls; From twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel: thou and Aaron shall number them by their armies.

31 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.
3 And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the Lord of Midian.

Serious question? This is my take only. I believe gods name is "I am" Since he created man or men humans in his image... Humans have done ALOT wrong and alot good... Do you think at any point god has " creators remorse" ?? Think about it for a minute. I did and have told others who are christians and some agreed with me. No hate just curious on your take.

Maybe, in the same way a parent feels remorse when their offspring is fucking up.

Murder is a legal term. So it’s okay to kill except in cases where there is a law against it and you might be arrested for it? That’s not a very high bar to reach nor much of a spiritual guide. Why would anyone need the Bible then. Answer they don’t. Most people are already better than the Bible.

Do you believe in reincarnation? The only reason it was considered anathema by the church was the wife (Theodora) of Justinian I, who was the roman emperor at the time, strong armed her husband to get the church to change the teaching. She was the most powerful women of the Byzantine empire at the time, and knew full well of the churches teaching that what is bound on earth by the church is bound in heaven. She was very evil, and didn't want to be burdened by her karma in the afterlife.

Up until this time in history about 500 AD., reincarnation was common knowledge to at least 80% of the people on the planet at that time. Krishna and the Buddha acknowledged it in their teachings. There are a few passages in the bible that would indicate that the idea was out there. Because I believe many of the true teachings of Jesus have been changed or eliminated from the bible by the hand of man to form the current narrative of Christianity......This is mainly why reincarnation is not taught today. What say you?

How can one protect themselves successfully from witches and warlocks sending curses/spells on someone. This is very timely, especially when Halloween is coming up soon.
I feel anointing myself with x virgin olive oil that we have prayed for GOD to bless, then casting out evil curses and sending them back to where they came from in GOD's holy name, is enough, what say you ?

How many words from beginning to end does the Bible have?

Looks like OP left the building. Can't trust anyone anymore.

English didn't exist. The word should be murder. Thou shall not murder. Perceived inconsistencies are poor translation or interpretations. go back to the Hebrew or Greek words and it fits.

I wasn't ignoring any questions. I had to leave for a few hours and met someone who was interested in investing in my homeless charity.

Everything. There is nothing created that He did not create.

Excellent question. I've asked this myself.

I can only elaborate with my own opinion as there is not a sufficient answer to this. When there is a direct mandate from God Almighty to kill, it is not sin. It is sin to disobey. God had already planned to use the Israelites to pour out His wrath and destruction on the Canaanites.

Sorry, I don't believe there is a good answer to this question (unless it's just not coming to mind at the moment.)

Jesus is the Father. He is not ignorant of who you're praying to when you do.


Isaiah 9:6 - "For a Child will be born to us, a Son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace."

Only as much as a loving, devoted parent has "parent's remorse" for having their kid. They love them no matter what.

Nice thread, op.

Thank you for making time.

God bless.

Jesus said, "It is appointed unto men ONCE to die, after this, the Judgment."

Kind of hard to fit a reincarnation into that.

Trust in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. You can only be bewitched if you allow yourself to believe in lies and fall into their spells. You need only call them out in Jesus' name and counter their spells with the truth of His word.

No idea. It would depend on which translation and which version you are reading.
