Waiting Skeleton

Jesus, Santa, whatever...

:)

Jesus said Himself that nobody knows the day or the hour that He will return, and that we should always be ready for Him. Sadly, what many who claim to be Christians forget is that "being prepared" for His return means doing the job He gave us when He left: spreading the Gospel faithfully (through both an outstanding example of Jesus's moral teachings lived out, and through verbal communication of the truth). I must admit that this is a job that I have neglected for a long time. Thankfully, God's forgiveness allows me to leave behind my past, and His power allows me to continue forward.

Where's your faith boy? Don't think about what the animals on the ark ate who eat other animals for forty days. Or why nobody else with a boat on the entire planet made it. This is a religion that tells people we are all related to Noah. Yet enslaved Africans then told people they were less than white folk. They treated humans like animals that somehow didn't make it to the boat on time?? Well not that boat at least, the ark didn't have room, but slave ships were willing to make extra trips and stack them to the rafters.

I tell ya the miracle I pray for. That people can some day realize religion is and invention of man. It has been used and changed throughout history as a way to control, enslave, or destroy if the first two don't work out. Vikings believed they had to die in battle to get to Valhalla so they would want to fight which they needed to survive. When will man feel he has survived long enough to untie the apron strings already? God made us in his image, just don't think for yourself. He is an all knowing ever present being that see's and hears all. Just not capable of ever changing his mind about anything no matter how much time passes. Hopefully he comes around before the sun explodes, or at least before we run out of oil.

Since the world is only 10,000 years old you are fake news buddy lol.

Lol to be honest I also heard about research that shows that all humans have the same DNA that link back to an originating couple from Africa, i.e. Adam and Eve style... ????????????

I am a christian, and even if God doesn't exist (which I know is not true) faith gives people hope and helps them through hard times. This is scientifically proven, do some research, and not just on liberal atheist sites.

So you know God exists, damn that must be nice. What you say is true, some people unable to have faith in themselves need a crutch to get through the day. Instead of thinking for themselves they choose to be sheep that need a Sheppard to guide them through life.

I've never been on a liberal atheist site, I avoid allowing anybody to convince me that I should think like them. I'm capable of picking my own self up and not having to believe some magic fairy land when I die is the best thing I got to hope for. I'll make my own heaven and live according to my own rules thanks.

I'm a woman with strong opinions and ideals that would have got me killed when the bible was written. The fact that Christianity is a religion created by men who destroyed any religion with a female deity in it should bother anybody with a mother. They want me to believe that God would only speak through men unless it was time to knock up a virgin without even asking her permission and that was cool. Neither Jesus or God had any use for a woman, Jesus never had sex, I suppose he never even got a hard on right?

I don't dislike people for being religious, I dislike people that can look at these type of things and think oh yeah it's part of his plan. The creator of everything around us thought he'd be better off alone for eternity than to share it with a woman. In fact he dislikes them so much he denied his son the one chance he was ever going to have to be with one. Oh yeah and the guy who raised Jesus never had any more kids with his wife either. Once you raise a god little Abraham just ain't gonna cut it I guess

When the Bible was written was not some perfect time in history where everybody walked around happy because their God had spoken to them recently. People lived in fear especially women and the church did all they could to keep them afraid, Just like they do now only after all these years the pages on that book are wearing a little bit thin for any logical human being to fall for.

Go be a sheep, the rest of the world will be here moving past the need to be led by the nose when you are ready to walk on your own.

Reading that long diatribe it's obvious you know nothing about the Bible or what it actually says in it. What God says in it.

Nope sure don't, I bought the book on tape but there must be something wrong with it because I turn it on and it just goes baaaaaaaahhh!

I challenge you strong woman to read the whole Bible yourself and see what you think about it. When you are done you can click on my profile, click on my most recent meme/gif (LOL) and tell me what you think about. I will read the whole thing. If you hate it I will respect your opinion, if you like it that would be great. If you think you will just be brainwashed just read it with a critical mind, that's what I have in my liberal classes at school.:)

Wow, you flag all of my comments, what a loser.

Never mind, I just got lost oops. Hey make sure you read my whole essay too.

Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.
Proverbs 14:1
She opens her mouth with wisdom, and kindness is on her tongue.
Proverbs 31:26
for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave[a] nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Galations 3:26 - 28
Also, faith does not make you a sheep, but it turns you into a brave lion. GET ROASTED YOU NORMIE I AM ONLY 13 YET I CAN ROAST THE HECK OUT OF YOU.

Also Jesus was not sexually immoral because he did not commit any sins. God is a male, and he created Adam in like form, but HE CREATED EVE AS A COMPANION FOR ADAM. CLEARLY YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, AND I THINK OTHER CHRISTIANS WOULD AGREE. Alas I am throwing pearls to swine.

You are acting so far from a Christian I am saddened for the real ones. You are acting like somebody who has been brainwashed with words while caring not for their own actions. You are supposed to embrace and imbibe with knowledge those that look down on your religion. Showing them how your faith makes you a better person. Instead you throw some quotes out along with insults. At least I don't pretend to have Jesus in my heart while my actions prove I don't. I believe a true Christian would agree and that anybody with common sense did long ago.

Feminists are useless, you're insults are so petty they make me laugh. This is the best thing that has happened to me online.

damn I'm sorry here the best thing that's happened to you is something I completely forgot about. I'm gonna just let you get back to that sad existence there baby. maybe you should pray for something better to happen than this.

Maybe you should go get a life and stop arguing with a 13 year old who clearly knows more than you, despite whatever 'education' you got.

did you really just quote the bible then tell me to get roasted? that's the best example of modern religion ever! I love true Christians unfortunately there are too many like you out there and not enough of them. no true Christian would be full of pride and state that they are only 13 yet roasted me!! And Jesus said use the words of my father in order to roast people! Imgflip 66:6 -dumbass

A true atheist would actually read the Bible to at least know what they're talking about, unlike you. Also I do admit I'm throwing pearls to swine, but I thought s mother would be smart enough to read the bible after being challenged. Furthermore, a true Christian would quote bible verses in defense. That's exactly what Jesus did when he was being tempted by Satan. Let's just agree to disagree.

so Jesus was being threatened by Satan and all he could do is quote shit his daddy said at him. man that's lame I see now why he never got laid. you're awful judgemental I don't recall Jesus acting that way. never said I was an atheist or what I believe in. I think maybe you should not just read the book to throw quotes at people but actually try living by it. I think you missed the part about turning the other cheek and judging not ya know. for all you know I was sent to test your ability to act like a Christian when not in church and you failed. looks like you might just get to try the whole quoting shit at Satan thing yourself someday. what is it they say about pride again? oh wait I'm sure you already know.

HEY SLEEPINWITANENOME, LOOKS LIKE THE 13 YR OLD WON. I WROTE THIS ESSAY (KIND OF) ON FRIDAY 4 DAYS AGO AND YOU STILL HAVE NOT RESPONDED. LOOKS LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY BACK TO A LITTLE 13 YR OLD "STRONG WOMAN" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!! LOSER. WELL DEBATING A LIBERAL IS LIKE DEBATING A BRICK WALL, AS ALWAYS. LOL.

Impressive...Every word in that paragraph is wrong. First of all Satan was not being threatened by Satan, he was being tempted.
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted[a] by the devil. 2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”

4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’[b]”

5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:

“‘He will command his angels concerning you,
and they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’[c]”

7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’[d]”

8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”

10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’[e]”

11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.
Also if you are a christian here to test me then seriously? You have been acting like a complete hypocrite and I hope I don't know you, otherwise that would be sad that a nice kind person that goes to my church would act this way, shame on you. If you are not here to test me than why are you still Continued on next comment---->

HEY SLEEPINWITANENOME, LOOKS LIKE THE 13 YR OLD WON. I WROTE THIS OF FRIDAY 4 DAYS AGO AND YOU STILL HAVE NOT RESPONDED. LOOKS LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY BACK TO A LITTLE 13 YR OLD. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!

acting like a hypocrite. You tell me to stop throwing Bible verses at you yet you will also quote Bible verses and throw them back at me. I do admit I should have just let you to continue throw pointless insults at me, but when someone calls me a name, challanges me, insults me, or me and that person get in a debate, I will never back down. Wow, the only thing that you can say about Jesus is that he couldn't get laid. According to Cristian forums the reason why he didn't get laid was because: "A man of Jesus' spiritual and moral integrity would not get married when He had no means for supporting a wife and children; nor would he have married and then directly challenged the ruling authorities in Jerusalem, risking almost certain death and thereby leaving a single pregnant woman behind." So that answers you're good question, I'm glad you asked.:) Also, Jesus father is not his "daddy", he is a being residing outside of the laws of this universe Continued on next comment----->

READ THIS AFTER THE NEXT COMMMENT, OTHERWISE YOU WILL BE CONFUSED --- , and also the creator of those laws. He has infinite power, and that means with infinite power you can do ANYTHING including warping the fabric of space - time so much that you actually travel backwards in time. With infinite power you can give up an infinite amount of power to someone else. Its easy. Imagine that you have an infinite amount of money and you wan't to give your children both an infinite amount of money. What you would do would be to give you first child every odd dollar bill, and your second child every even dollar bill. You would never finish giving youre children the money but you could keep a supply of money for them. Maybe God did the same thing with his powers, and created himself, and then getting out of his own time loop with his infinite powers. Furthermore, you said yourself: "I'll make my own heaven and live according to my own rules thanks." That sounds like atheism to me. So I am not being judgemental. And I don't read the book just to throw quotes at people, how do you know if I try to walk my talk or not. I do try to live by the Bible, but everyone is a sinner and makes mistakes. No, I did not miss that Bible verses about turning the other cheek, and I apologize for not doing so, but do you really think I am going to let someone call me a sheep? NO. And to answer your final question, the Bible says that “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” And I have not been being proud, but have simply been pummeling you with the hard truth, I guess a person like you just can't take it.

He's an atheist also, you blithering moron.

Strangely, you've seemed to not have been able to tell the blind faithers apart from the 2 or 3 here who aren't religious.

And you AREN'T drunk, are ya?

He also said he would be back within their (the apostles') lifetimes.
And unless them lot are over 2000yo hiding out in a bunker somewhere, I wouldn't waste too much time waiting at the front door.
READ the WHOLE verse.

He did come back for a brief period, because they weren't teaching the gossiple like he wanted. So he sort of possed them and they went into villages preaching like crazy.
This was after the trancedence. It's in peter I think but not sure.

What have I said about atheists? Ask them about the Bible. They know it well.
Catholic grammar, hs, and university, and my best Catholic (Jesuit) priest teachers sure coulda fooled anyone into thinking they were atheists the way they spoke. Only one (he wan't a priest tho) was truly devout.
The more religious anyone claims to be, the less they know of their religion. Sorry, there's more to the Bible than John 3:16.

"Teacher, why have you come here, what is your purpose?"

"I have come here to reafirm the Father's Covenenant with His People."

Jesus didn't teach Gospels (none existed till after A CENTURY after he died. He taught the Torah to Yahweh's Chosen, the Yehudi, AKA Judeans, AKA Jews.)

He - or rather, a fella that bore no resemblance to him but that Mary Magdelane swore was him with some cuts on his wrists - came on the 3rd day after the supposed crucifixtion, then after ascended into Heaven with these parting words for those rat bastard apostles that ran out on him, "Remember to keep holy the Passover, for it will mark my second coming... I shall return within your lifetimes..." Then the tongues of fire thing and blah blah blah then Saul/Paul then nothing for 300 yrs cept a cult of Mithras turning Christian then Council of Nicea and "Look what we wrotX, um, found! Let's start a religion and revive the Roman Empire with it!"

Sorry, but Peter, Paul, & Mary, and the rest, DIED.

THE END.

FREE BONUS: Look up Messiah, look up why Jesus was different from ALL the REAL Messiahs (something about NOT doing anything remotely Messianic)

I'm saying he died, and was resurrected. He came back.

Also the interpretation of that verse you are referring to is just that. An interpretation. A faulty one I say.
The key to understanding what Jesus meant by “this generation will not pass away until all these things take place” is the context; that is, we must understand the verses that are surrounding Matthew 24:34, especially the verses prior to it. In Matthew 24:4–31, Jesus is clearly giving a prophecy; He is speaking of future events. Jesus had already told those living during His earthly ministry that the kingdom had been taken from them (Matthew 21:43). Therefore, it is imperative that Matthew 24–25 be seen as dealing with a future time. The generation that Jesus speaks of “not passing” until He returns is a future generation, namely, the people living when the predicted events occur. The word generation refers to the people alive in the future when the events of Matthew 24–25 take place.

Jesus’ point in His statement, “this generation will not pass away until all these things take place,” is that the events of the end times will happen quickly. Once the signs of the end begin to be observed, the end is well on the way—the second coming and the judgment will occur within that last generation. Jesus reinforced this meaning with a parable in Matthew 24:32–33: “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door.” A sure sign of summer is the leafing of the fig tree; a sure sign of the end of the world is that “all these things” (of Matthew 24) are taking place. Those who are on the earth then will have only a short time left.
Essentially, Jesus is saying that, once the events of the end times begin, they will happen quickly. The age of grace has continued for a very long time. But when the time for judgment finally arrives, things will be wrapped up posthaste. This concept of God’s drawing things to a rapid close is echoed in many other passages of Scripture (Matthew 24:22; Mark 13:20; Revelation 3:11; 22:7, 12, 20).
I just copied and pasted this because it's easier.
Also I never claimed to be a religious scholar.

You can say what you want. The early Christians said it was Y'eshua bar Abbas who died on the cross - Y'eshua bar Josephus having been spared the last minute. THAT was the miracle.
But eh, things change over 2000 years. Council of Nicea, multiple books left out, the 4 left in contradiction of each other, mistranslations, outright lies (Shabbat, anyone?) and deliberate distortions, the whole bit.

"Within your lifetime" or "Within this generation" mean what so differently? Google English translate sez: "While you byotches still be livin, homie"

Bottom line is, have you found Jesus? Cuz he been missin for near 2000 years, and he got some Heaven on Earth thingy he was supposed to set up back then by liberating THE Chosen from the occupying Romans - as predicted but was never done by him. 70 years later it was done (temporarily) by another Jesus - bar Kokhba - who freed Jeruselem at least for a few year during the uprising. The cult of Bar Kohba faded after some years.

FREE BONUS: The 'Matthew' of the Gospel of... is NOT the Apostle Matthew. He goes through great lengths giving the lineage of Jesus all the way back to the House of David, as provided to the census. Thing is, no census was given till a century AFTER Jesus, hence that book, like the rest also written a century after, is full of shit.

It is impossible to know when Jesus was born. What year, what time, etc. so it's impossible to know if a census was givin during his birth. Mistranslations and censorship are also a problem for me, so I won't comment on that, but still.

Century = 100 years.
So, no.

It is impossible because there is no record of it. In fact, there is no record of even the slightest mention of Jesus till a century after he died.

Records could've been lost, the Romans could've tried to mask his birth, etc.

*sighs*

What part of "No records back then" did you STILL not understand? C-E-N-T-U-R-Y.
There is nothing of him, apostles, followers, whatever, till a century later.

I mean, of Joshua Son Of Joseph.
As with my post above, the Cult of Mithras, who is EXACTLY like Jesus except Persian and from a MILLENIA prior, was a common religion in Rome.
But THAT'S a myth, right?

Exactly. No records. No proof that he didn't exist. And no proof that anybody didn't exist.

And again with the time thing. We don't know if Jesus was born at any time period. It is physically impossible to know. Therefore, we don't know if there was a census when he was born, we don't know when he died, we don't know if there were any records of him until a century later, we don't know any of that.

21qk6s.jpg (click to show) I agree. You are correct. He is a myth.

Just like those right here on who his myth was copied from.

You know what? I'm done.

You're done? No, you're a liar. Unless you really ARE this stupid.

Again with the birth thing. It's like saying that there was no imgflip until a year after somebody you don't know the birthday of was born.

Check your calender. He was born c2017 years ago, plus 3 - 6 yrs additional.

There STILL were NO Roman censuses taken till a CENTURY after his alleged birth.

Him being born 2017 years ago is a myth. As I said before, it is impossible to know his birth time and date, so we don't know if a census was taken a CENTURY after his birth.

We're in agreement then. He's all a lie. Merry XXass.

You don't know when I was born. Am I a myth?

"Him being born 2017 years ago is a myth. As I said before, it is impossible to know his birth time and date, so we don't know if a census was taken a CENTURY after his birth."

Indeed it is. Because he IS MYTH.

You catch on quick, aye?

Ah, I see. Retort my arguement with some throwaway answer, aye?

The only proof that most anybody from history exists is textbooks and a couple of papers that could have easily been made up.

Jack you're just a right wing left field troll.
I am the alpha the omega. The beginning and the end.

Do you think he at least got to get laid while he was possessing people? I know I'd give him some if he would only visit!

Word to yo mutha, my whiggie.

:)

lol, but I think the real Christians (who are also going to be the only ones raptured) will be more concerned with the well-being of the people they're leaving behind. If I get raptured and my friend who I failed to share the gospel with didn't, I would be heartbroken with guilt and grief

What part of "144,000 of the Sainted Chosen" did you not understand? Don't worry, in addition to those Jews, a few Gentiles will be judged by their works. So you still have a shot. However, since you're more concerned about spreading some partial quotes instead of living by them, I wouldn't hedge my bets on them.

Nah when the rapture happens media will blame it on aliens. If if Trump is president folks will find a way to blame it on him. Bush, Obama, Trump, in America everything is the president's fault lol
