When things didn't match my christian narrative, I started doing actual research into whether god existed. The idea didn't match my cognitive bias and I changed my mind. I was raised in christianity, went to christian schools, in church a minimum of 3x per week, went on short term missions trips, led dozens of people to christ, went to college and then seminary, got a masters of divinity, became a full time missionary, came home after 5 years and became a church planter in the Southeastern US. I looked at the evidence and read books my pastor told me NOT to read because they would make me question things even more than I did ... and you know what? I realized I had been deluded my whole life and that all this religion stuff was a stinking pile of bullshit. There is no god, there is no place up in the sky where we will sing to god all the time and eat 12 different fruits from a tree and drink from a crystal river. LOL, apparently there are actual MONTHS in heaven ... Revelation 22:2 “On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month, and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.” Such a crock of utter bullshit.
Did I abuse her? LOL, no. But that's the typical response by most people ... blame the man. Her own pastor and the church elders told her NOT to divorce me. She listened to TikTok and Instagram idiots and did it anyway, telling me that she can do anything because she was "confident in her salvation." Christians are like that - my daughters took her side and cut off all communication, including my grandkids. There's no hate like good ol' christian love. She accused me of adultery AS IS TYPICAL OF WOMEN but she had no proof and that never happened. I worked from home and she could track every movement I made since we were on Life360. My son was living with us at the time so it wasn't like I could bring hookers to the house. My daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter were also living with us while they built a house. It was in the height of covid and she was angry I didn't take her to Hawaii for our 30th anniversary in June of 2020. Let that sink in.
HAHA! That's RICH ... and stupid. Your brain is so soaked in delusion, you can't even see it.
Hebrews 11:1 explicitly defines faith as “the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Nothing in the text says “provable.”
From any reasonable standpoint, that distinction collapses. If a claim were provable in any meaningful evidentiary sense, it would no longer require faith ... it would require acceptance of evidence.
Faith, as Hebrews frames it, is confidence prior to and independent of verification. Rebranding that as “belief without sight but with proof” is a modern apologetic retrofit, not what the author wrote. You're guilty of great sin because you added to "god's word" so repent muthaf**ka LOL
Evidence persuades regardless of belief. Faith fills the gap where evidence ends. That’s precisely why the text praises it. Where evidence (proof) exists, no faith is needed. Where faith exists, no evidence is needed. They're incompatible.
Imagine taking a loved one to the cardiologist with severe chest pain and the doctor tells you he has faith in a certain drug but no evidence ... that's christianity in a nutshell.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Again, your lack of education rears it's ugly head. You're a gullible fool. You have bought the bull about your buybull.
The claim that the “original bible had 66 books” is historically false.
There was no single ‘original bible’ and no fixed table of contents for centuries. The number 66 reflects a 16th-century Protestant decision, not an ancient reality. HAHAHA! You're a doofus.
Early Jewish scripture existed in multiple textual traditions, most notably the Hebrew corpus later standardized by rabbinic Judaism and the Greek Septuagint, which included additional books (Tobit, Sirach, Wisdom, 1-2 Maccabees). Greek-speaking Jews and later Christians used the latter extensively.
The New Testament canon itself was not settled until the 4th century CE, with significant disagreement before then (Athanasius, Festal Letter 367 CE). Those disagreements centered on a wide variety of issues, including perceived or assumed apostalic authorship (an excuse made for Luke and 58 other books - more in a bit). Early Christian Bibles commonly contained more than 66 books, and some traditions still do. Imagine trying to parse out things that happened in 1626 and claiming it is now "god's word" ... stupid.
Saying the bible “originally had 66 books” projects your modern confessional boundary backward onto a fragmented ancient textual landscape. That is theology, not history.
MEN decided what you will consider to be the "word of god". Funny. And to top it all off, even christian bible scholars admit we only know about 7 books for certain.
Everything you say is a faith claim, not facts.
From a secular, scholarly standpoint, we’re certain about exactly seven books: Paul’s undisputed letters are Romans, 1–2 Corinthians, Galatians, Philippians, 1 Thessalonians, Philemon. That’s it.
The Gospels? Anonymous.
Moses writing the Torah? Legend.
Peter writing 2 Peter? Almost certainly not.
Your bible is a library of anonymous and composite texts, not a signed first edition. Pretending otherwise confuses tradition with evidence. And you understand ZERO about how or why.
I'm arguing with a toddler about Santa Clause here.
Hypocrite -- that's all you use. Again, "thou fool," pot meet kettle. Experience is an actual thing except stupid christians like you ignore it until it meets your personal needs ... like when you need a "personal savior" -- a set of words never regarded by christendom until the 1800's LOL. You're just one of those modern christians who has no concept of how your religion has evolved and you'll deny it any way.
