Christianity, the most offensive, confusing, violent, hypocritical, faith of all.

[eternallife7]

Just fashion God according to your likes and tastes. Cool is on thing to one person and something else to another person. God is defined, manifest by His Word.

Cool denotes that which is less than what God is.

A casual reading of the first five books of the Bible will shed light on who God is.

Cool does not fit God.

No offense, here.

Hey I want you to know that I am not trying to argue or anything like that, I have learned to call Him Abba Father (Daddy God) so forgive me if I offended you with my posts. I should be more careful not to offend anyone with my posts. I should have just said that God invented cool. Well He did. When I wrote no offense in my previous post I meant it. I want you all to know that when you see one of my posts it is out of love. Much love, eternallife7

 

[Galahad]

Where did you get your sense of humor from?

God does have a sense of humor...He does not make fun of people...like you have pretty much done in your post

But...He DOES have a sense of humor

Get a grip

A wolf in sheep clothing. All world and no truth. Get a grip? What is that? Humor? Who mentioned humor? Bible? No. Not here.

 

[Dayo]

Once again the TRUTH PILL is difficult to swallow! There is no need to educated the masses with truth because the masses love the illusion of man's lies. Anyone can go to their local library to read primary resources on wars cause by religion not just the Catholic Church. All primary resources on truth shall be removed soon from the masses of folks because there is no need for literature anymore, many folks in America do not read and including their children. The Elite understands that the masses do not care about truth nor history of the past just feed the masses with false lies as truth.

The French Wars of Religion


https://sites.google.com/a/umail.iu.edu/the-french-wars-of-religion-1562-1629/primary-texts


rimary texts are sources of information that were written or created by people who lived during the time under study. These can include written documents, artistic works, and relics.

Important Primary Texts

Council of Trent, 1545-63

The Council met several times over two decades in reaction to the rise of Protestantism; it issued various creeds to define Catholic orthodoxy. These are informative for anyone studying the Reformation and Catholic Renewal. Transcribed in English.​

De Thou. St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre, 24 August 1572

An eyewitness account of the Massacre and the assassination of Admiral Coligny. Transcribed in English.​

Jean Du Tillet. Jean Du Tillet and the French Wars of Religion: Five Tracts, 1562-1569. Binghamton, NY: Medieval & Renaissance Texts & Studies, 1994.

Jean Du Tillet served as a secretary and civil clerk of the Parlement of Paris (1530-70), and he proclaimed himself as a champion of the Catholic faith in these treatises. Transcribed in English.
​

Edicts of Pacification, including the Edict of Nantes, 1562-1598

The state instituted several acts of pacification and toleration to end the civil wars, all of which failed. Transcribed in French.


​

Edict of Nantes, 1598

The passage of the Edict of Nantes is often considered the end of the the Religious Wars, although relative peace did not return to France until 1629. English transcription of excerpts.​

Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, 1685

Huguenot revolts and blockades of Protestant cities did not cease with the Edict of Nantes and Peace of Montpelier (1622), and this Revocation of the Edict of Nantes made Protestantism illegal in France. While the Wars or Religion were not reignited, the Revocation in turn alienated foreign Protestant allies, and nearly 400,000 protestants emigrated. An Edict of Tolerance was not issued until 1787 largely due to the waning or absolutism and waxing of enlightenment discourse.

My apologies eternal7. I appreciate your clarification. I do.

I will explain my earlier response later.

 

[discipline]

Jesus said in Matthew 7;21 not everyone the saith unto me Lord ,Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the pleasure of my Father in heaven. God is love and love carrys light. keep your eyes on the light and youll see Jesus,in the ones that are called by him dont lose your way in those that he considered wolves, remember he is the only way to heaven dont get dismazed or angry and lose your salvation because of people get toknow God for yourself and he;ll reveal himself to you, in these last and evil days , with respect and God bless.

 

[prove-all]

maybe these verses helps explain things.

For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let,
until he be taken out of the way.

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

For (false Christs) and (false prophets shall rise), and shall shew signs and wonders,
to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

Beware of (false prophets), which come to you in (sheep's clothing),
but inwardly they are ravening wolves.(Matthew 7:15)

But there were (false prophets) also among the people, even as there shall be
(false teachers among you), who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord
that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. (2 Peter 2:1)

Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples
after them. So be on your guard! Remember that (for three years)

I never stopped (warning each of you night and day with tears)

Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you may not
be carried away by the error of (the lawless) and (fall from your secure position)

(A great wave of persecution began that day), sweeping over the church in Jerusalem;
and (all the believers except the apostles) were scattered through the regions of Judea and Samaria.


And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High,
and (think to change times and laws): and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.​

[kaylagrl]

Would you say James Bond is cool?
How about James Dean?
Oh, the Marlboro Man, yes.
Elvis is cool, I think.
Lots of guys would say their drinking buddy is cool.
No. I got it. You know who's cool? Guys who ride choppers.

The father who reads the Bible with his family, prays with his family, teaches his family. Nope. He ain't cool. He's okay. Maybe to some folks he's a square. Certainly not cool. He don't cuss, smoke, drink beer, or chase women.

Telly Savalas! I think so. Who loves ya baby.

John Wayne! And he don't even ride a chopper. Horse, yes. Chopper, no.

The coolest of the cool, Clint Eastwood. Man is even conservative. Remember the speech he gave at the RNC. Funny. This is the best: Go ahead punk, make my day. And, Do you feel lucky? Well, do ya?

What do you mean God is so cool?

God isn't man. God is Holy. God is Almighty. Cool? No. He don't try to fit in with anyone. He's God. Above man.

I was thinking the same thing.Thanks for saying it.

Most of the church and even America, is basically already 'ripped apart' in their 'hypocrisy' and 'lukewarm' lives, as well as any prosperous nations, with beautiful buildings.

i am one of many 'witnesses' who have already read the Holy Scripture of the HOLY BIBLE, especially the New Covenant/Testament of CHRIST our GOOD SHEPHERD who is the only 'LEADER', as we also know who are the others representing without 'eligibility' to 'lead', especially 'women'.

In the name of LORD JESUS CHRIST shame on you!

As it is written;

"You will know a tree by it's fruit."

​And there it is folks...my point made.

He is muslim and he's taking part in Taqiyya, hence the OP as it is.

Hey Freddy Boy, read the following and learn something:

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

The part I like is you and I have had this dance before.

That's pretty good. Neat.

Unless you stepped on his toes. Did you?

Yes I did step on his toes,I meant to.I have been called everything under the sun by fredjames simply because we disagreed on the issue of homosexuality.He followed me around several threads calling me a fake Christian,which he has done here. Is tolerance of differing opinions is very low so I warn people who have runs ins with him that if you disagree with his opinion you will be called anti-Christ. Better to pay him no mind.

You don't even have to disagree with him, he'll do his usual crap either way. And I'm not cleaning up after him.

 

[kaylagrl]

Lol,I usually ignore him and those who act like him. My father has always said you cant argue with anyone one who says " God told me". They can never ever admit they may be wrong or see another point of view or even agree to disagree.They're right,you're wrong,period.

 

[Galahad]

no...a grip on your Bible...you have lost it somewhere

I apologized to eternallife7.

"So one of us is stopping now." When did you decided it was not "exactly Christian", before "no...a grip on your Bible...you have lost it somewhere" or after that? When you typed "trading insults is not exactly Christian so one of us is stopping now"?

Either you do not believe what you affirm (not exactly Christian), or you actually don't care whether it is Christian or not.

Where in the Bible do we read that God is cool? So what other common terms would you call God? Some folks are referring to God as a she. Why not?

[atwhatcost]

I do not think God would mind me calling Him cool. I know He is holy and the King of kings as well. Bottom line is until you know for sure that God doesn't want me to call Him cool anymore, please do not gainsay and say that I'm in the wrong for doing so. No offense.

Don't worry. God is cool! And he's cool with us saying he's cool, cool? lol

 

[p_rehbein]

The Author of the OP must be enjoying all of this I suspect.

Seems he accomplished his mission.

 

[Galahad]

Don't worry. God is cool! And he's cool with us saying he's cool, cool? lol

Where in the Bible does it say He is cool? Is God a dude? Do you object to referring to God as a she? You seem to hold little disregard for the 66 books of the Bible and all that they show about God. He's more than common. More than cool.
You might find calling God nothing more than an average being humorous, but God is Holy. And cool is not equivalent to holy.

You win. The majority of folks side with you and laugh with you. So you are on the popular side with this. And your thoughtless response toward God while catering to those who find God common is right on. You chose the safe route.
