How do you fulfill a contract ,or law ,you do them . Heaven and earth hasn't pass away. † 09/09/21 (Thu) 23:22:15 f218b3 No.856718 [Open Thread]

Psalm 89:[34]! ←- I will not violate my covenant

or alter what my lips have uttered.

How do you fulfill a contract ,or law ,you do them .

Heaven and earth hasn't pass away.Why do you think the law as been done

away? Matthew 5:17-20 King James Version (KJV)

17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven

: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

/christian/ hymn sing † 09/09/21 (Thu) 00:28:27 c2801e No.856716 [Open Thread]

I was thinking about some of the classic 4chan collab projects recently, as well as the virtual choir videos that were popular during the start of the pandemic. I think that it'd be fun to try something similar for /christian/.

Let's first try this with Doxology (Praise God from whom all blessings flow), since it's a short hymn that's familiar to most Christian traditions.

Instructions:

1. In one tab or on a separate device, open this link.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiMZprhxZw4 [Embed]

2. In another tab, open Vocaroo.

3. While listening to the arrangement in the YouTube video (preferably through headphones), begin recording yourself singing along to the track. This way, all participants will be singing at the same tempo and in the same key.

4. Share your Vocaroo link in this thread.

5. If we get enough entries, I'll edit the tracks together and post it in a new thread.

Additional:

Don't worry if you aren't a confident singer. If you can patch pitch and tempo, you'll do fine.

If you know the song in another language, feel free to sing it in that tongue (as long you match the beat).

I look forward to hearing your entries. One of mine will also be posted below, but I won't say which one.

Let's see how this experiment pans out.

Im scared of these theories † 08/25/21 (Wed) 13:26:48 e23966 No.856642 [Open Thread]

I recently heard about the theories about Jesus Christ never having existed in the first place. About how there's no evidence or documentation besides the christian media. I know this is partly an anti christian movement, but how do you factually prove the opposite? I'm scared and this puts my faith hanging on a higher cliff than before

"About how there's no evidence or documentation besides the christian media."

Not true. there is as much evidence of Jesus existence than any other notable figure of the era. Respected historians (like josephus) have reported on Jesus, there are communications between leaders of that time discussing Jesus, etc.

Denying the existence of Jesus is just a con by those that hate christianity. Jews, for instance, will be quick to claim that Jesus never existed even though their own religious texts (the talmud) speak of him.

No worries, I have been studying this period of time surrounding Jesus and up until roughly the time where some one who knew someone starts getting long.

It was a big help. Early church fathers made attempts to document as much as they could vet because the idea of a risen Lord was big news.

My personal opinion is that Isaiah set a fire and a plan that Jesus carried out, whether or not it was a divine plan and resurrection is where your faith comes in, and all the benefits and challenges that being a believer entail. It is a challenge I am not very good at doing since I am very logically oriented and only want the truth.

So, that leaves me with John, Thomas, Peter, and Mark (Peter's translator and companion). Peter's relationship to Saul is one area of study worth looking into, as well as Polycarp being a hearer of John, and what that means. It has been a wonderful mystery I can not solve but keep trying anyways. We do owe our Western Civilization to this plan carried out long ago. It was the best path forward for humanity getting out of the barbarian and tribal times.

First of all, that's not true: http://paxexsistovos.blogspot.com/2012/01/tacitus-suetonius-pliny-younger.html

Second of all, even if that was true, it would still prove that there was a man called Jesus

who lived in the first century and was part of a religious movement.

>B-b-but, it would be biased!

Every piece of literature is biased, and what we're talking about is the existence of someone in history, not implications of their deeds or character. This is why Jesus mythists aren't taken seriously by those who do history.

Inmortality and medicine † 09/06/21 (Mon) 23:41:18 3ef9f7 No.856708 [Open Thread]

Recently I've been thinking of futuristic medicine , such as uploading a mind into a computer, DNA modification,or cloning a body and transferring your electromagnetic pulses into it.

So I ask ,would having one of these procedures or promote them is acting against the will of God , because be preventing them to die I also prevent them to reconcile with Jesus in heaven, I also violated the rule of the 120 years.

But at the same time it would prevent diseases such as Alzheimer or cancer, while at the same time improving general health issues.

So I'm completely clueless if achieving immortality or great medicine is acting against God, and if so wouldn't our current attempts with vaccines , scanners, treatments and more just make us go away from God and his son for more years than it should be?

The kingdom of God is present in the heart and soul of every believer, rather, the Kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you.

Live 10 years or 1000, what would change? Uploading a mind is impossible, for a mind is a working conscious utilizing all senses and memory. It is the energy moving between functioning synapses with purpose of intent.

Interesting take,however I disagree with your statement of uploading a mind,if you think of it a computer is just that ,a functioning synapses with purpose of intent,where the mind differs is that it controls itself and some interference of God,it will have peripherals for sense so you aren't a vegetable.

And y the "10 years or 1000" do you mean immortality ,and then would the 120 rule be a metaphor we don't understand?

Medicine is not against God, i remember reading an OT verse telling us to both go to the doctor and pray.

As to uploading minds - we cant upload our souls, so if a mind could be uploaded only our recurrent thought patterns would be there but not the free will. As if you took a photo and thus said that you are now immortal because your image is now eternal. Uploading minds is like a photo of thoughts.

Also it happens already, but instead of being uploaded to computers its uploaded to other brains. Aristotle had an idea, his thought spreads around to this day, is he alive because his thoughts are? no.

My Father asked this of me † 09/05/21 (Sun) 23:48:05 2c8f5e No.856703 [Open Thread]

So my father just dropped this on my lap and I don't really know what I should do about it. I already said I would rather not make a trip to DC, but now it could be in a situation where I am not just having my own crisis of faith, but also potentially bringing doubt to my own earthly father. This isn't a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, but for our relationship it could really hurt.

I don't want to just go through the motions of going to an event for the sake of appeasing my earthly father, as the right actions with the wrong intentions can be a negative impact on our own faith.

So any feedback would be appreciated random internet people.

Evidence for the Exodus : The Route of the Exodus † 07/20/21 (Tue) 10:41:22 57ddbe No.856309 [Open Thread]

Perhaps one of the most overlooked aspects of the Exodus is the route itself. The route of the Exodus can tell us a lot about the context and timing of the exodus. In this video we explore the place names found in the exodus itinerary from Piramesses to the Yam Suf, "Sea of Reeds."

In October I will be hosting a tour of Egypt with Tutku Tours. For more information about this tour in Egypt, please visit Tutku Tours (https://www.tutkutours.com/00_EGYPT_TOURS.asp).

I just want my body, soul, and spirit to be glorious, with God’s glorious body, spirit and soul. I am willing to do whatever Jesus Christ wants me to to give me a good life, a good glory, and these things in eternity with God.

I am not good at anything on my own. I am not an expert, I don’t want anything to do with spiritual existence only. I want Jesus’ life, for me, and nothing else.

All I know is that when we have all three with God, nothing can stop us from life.

pigs † 08/31/21 (Tue) 17:36:22 82d8d4 No.856690 [Open Thread]

Why don't they dig up the pig remains in Galilee. Surly there's some evidence of hundreds or thousands of pigs drowning in a lake all at once. I understand Galilee is a big lake, but I've never even heard of an attempt. It's the only miracle Jesus performed which you could ever find physical evidence for today. The pigs would be all on top of each other near the shore line pushing the bottom pigs down into the soil, alive. Which is exactly how you get underwater fossilisation.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3368652/Is-Jesus-performed-Miracle-Swine-1-600-year-old-Hebrew-slab-points-site-Kursi-Christ-exorcised-man-possessed-demons.html

This is as much as I've seen. And it is in the right region of the lake "Gerasenes" where the new testament says it happened. And it talks about how there's a cave and mountain in the area which are also in the bible. Unfortunately of course we know the shore line as with any lake has changed drastically. They dig up buildings under the water.

All I want is a "we looked… we dug, but didn't find anything." But I'm not even seeing that, it's like the idea isn't even crossing the mind. Suck up the entire lake, I don't care about the fish or the fisherman, give me a team of 20 good men and we'll dig up the entire bottom.

I might be just possessed by the idea, but I feel like this would be the most important thing anyone in history could dig up. So I'm surprised it's not a bigger manhunt. Something to think about if you're ever in the Galilee area. I mentioned this on /his/ but I didn't get any reason as to why it wouldn't be possible to find them.

Yeah, there might never be anything really solid to prove Jesus' story enough to make it plainly evident.

Everything is slightly out of reach like Josephus' writings. And it does feel intentionally designed to be that way. Because like Ghandi said, the five senses often are misleading and so God must prove his existence in a way stronger than the five senses can prove use. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SakitCoNYc

I want to help people accept Jesus by providing evidence but I'm not sure how often when I correct someone's historical knowledge if it ever helps. And it's hard to get people to just audio book listen to one Gospel which is I think the best way.

If remains of 2000 year old pigs were still around the earth would be filled with carcasses.

Bodies need special conditions to be preserved for a long time.

I explain in the post how underwater preservation happens for land animals like with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbcMY6ADdi8

Something needs to be buried alive under the sea bed. But the more I think about it it's unlikely for the pigs to have pushed some of the others into the soil, they would have floated along the water all across the lake and then the bones would sink to the bottom.

Ok so there are two main points to why this search would be ultimately fruitless.

Firstly, yes you have described the basics of the process for fossilization, but you're assuming that all the pigs were drowned and covered entirely under stilt and sediment very quickly. Most likely the pigs would have settled at the bottom of the lake for a short time before aquatic creatures began devouring and scattering their remains, not to mention any possible currents or undertows in the lake itself.

And secondly, this would honestly be one of the weaker pieces of evidence to support Creationism. Most people would either glance over the reportings of it, or simply say "Oh look, they happened to find a binch of pigs in this place, that could be anything." Those who don't want to believe will find any excuse not to. We've already found that genetic material can't be added to via natural processes, we've found carbon-14 in "billion-year-old" diamond, and we've found more fossils than should ever be possible without a global flood.

Proving the existence of God and the truth of The Bible isn't the issue, you can know all these things without truly accepting and believing them. Only God can open the eyes of the soul and save the unbeliever.

Eternal Conscious Suffering † 08/25/21 (Wed) 20:37:22 86c015 No.856648 [Open Thread]

I'm wrestling with the concept of eternal conscious suffering in Hell for unbelievers. Even for the worst of the worst, it seems like overkill. It also opens up a number of conundrums like, how can we enjoy Heaven while knowing that our loved ones that didn't make it are presently suffering?

I've asked around before and I've never got a satisfactory answer. Most of the time, I get some hand wave "well, it's not for us to know. You have to accept it on faith." But Christianity makes constant appeals to reason, logic, and evidence when explaining The Trinity and justifying Jesus as the Messiah. We don't hand wave, "eh, just believe it and stop asking questions," in such instances.

I know there are debates on the subject, which I have watched, but I was curious to know your thoughts.

It says in Hebrews chapter 2:

> For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;

> How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;

> God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

God is a just God. He will by no means clear the guilty (Exodus 34:7). This is also something we love about Him, because He is righteous. He doesn't just let people do whatever they want and eternally get away with it. That would be unjust. Since man is unable to pay for or make up for the damage of his sins against the Lord, the only possible thing that could be returned or repaid for that sin is death. As it says in Romans 3:23, "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

So then it is seen that, while the only way that sin (which resulted from the fall of man) could be repaid is death, God also sent His only begotten Son in order to pay that price for us through His blood. God in His infinite mercy had sent His only begotten Son to live and die on earth simply to suffer in our place, as it says, so that no man would need to go to hell. As it says in Hebrews again, "without shedding of blood is no remission." But if we neglect that great salvation, which is a possible choice by resisting what Christ said and not accepting it, then we are left with the only option which is to simply fail to meet the perfect standard God has set out by His law, and have to die alone in our own sins. Try as much as we can, we are all imperfect and do sin. It is a doomed endeavor to try to keep the entire law of God without Christ. As it says in James 2:10, "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all." Only Jesus Christ is perfect. As it says of Him in Hebrews, Jesus is "holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;"

It also says in Galatians 3:22, "But the scripture hath Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Then you have no understanding of the true nature of evil. If you ever had a moment of clarity in which the true nature of evil became understood to you, you would never again question the necessity of eternal damnation.

hell is the state of being that evil people have sought in their lives, but without the hand of God preventing it from manifesting. It's not a state that God spends an eternity forcing on sinners, it's a state of being which the evil constantly create and recreate throughout eternity. God could damn the evil to a paradise and they would transform it into hell. Hell is just the end result of their unrestricted nature and desires.

The word "Jew" did not exist until long after the Gospels were written. Modern day Jews are Edmoite pretenders.

>We worship one Jew.

No we don't. Jesus wasn't a Jew. The people we call jews now are ashkenazi, and they are a turkish ethnic group from southern russia whose ancestors never got within 1000 miles of Israel. And those people have the religion that Jesus repeatedly disavowed during his entire ministry.

During Jesus time, the word jew (or the equivalent at the time) was a description of a nationality, not a race. When the children of israel were carted off as slaves to baylon, neighboring tribes moved into their territory and later when John Hyrcanus was king of Judah he expanded his empire to rule over a diverse empire (around 134 bc). By Jesus time, mixed race jew mutts had appropriated the identity of the children of Israel, and the original children of Israel were oppressed and their religion was replaced by talmudism, which is babylonian mysticism.

of course they don't. There is a small percentage of the children of Israel mixed in with them but by and large they are a completely different ethnicity than the people mentioned in the bible.

The nation of israel is a false nation. It's not the israel of the bible but rather an imitation by satanists that want to steal the blessings of God by faking their heritage.

evidence (smoking gun) that gangstalking is warm bodies and not demons or aliens Heretic's Epistle to Christendom 08/22/21 (Sun) 20:42:30 dcb8ad No.856612 [Open Thread]

Greetings, brethren of Christendom. I myself am not a Christian, thus I should let you know as I know this will please you, and I call myself a, "devoted heretic". However, I am here to deliver news to your ears that perhaps thy God has not revealed unto you.

I am here to bring you knowledge which you will be persecuted for having. If you wish to know these truths then read on. If you wish to be blue-pilled and live in your world of faith then to not take of this knowledge which i bring.

Many Christians suffer from spiritual attacks. I imagine a lot of you also suffer from corporate/government secret attacks, what today is called "COINTELPRO 2.0' or "Gangstalking" and mostly effects young people, vulnerable people or internet users. Especially if you are a non-conformist.

This is something which has only arisen in our high-tech modern age and I'd reckon that most of the people who are victimized by this national activity are innocent people like myself and like most of you.

If this has been happening to you, as it did to me a lot in churches when I was a believer, then you are probably also somehow being tricked into believing it isn't going on, or having faith will stop it, or that it is purely spiritual demons attacking you. In actuality it appears to be actual people (warm bodies), probably those in our government involved with counter-terrorism who secretly try to infiltrate our life and disrupt our life and more or less manipulate and influence us (usually secretly) and probably mostly for the economic purposes or for the purposes of law enforcement or simplly for the purposes of private corporate vendettas against you or others around you or perhaps for weapons testing, etc… The list goes on.

These people are an absolute threat to your faith and to your God and yourselves as well. I am of the personal opinion that they are actually abandoning leadership and this is why they are going around torturing everybody because soon on Earth we will see a new Age and a new manner of living.

Anyway, to get on with this and conclude this post, I say this:

This phenomenon is called Gangstalking. I think some guy also wrote a book on it too called "COINTELPRO 2.0". Some people say it is what you might commonly think of as "counter-terrorism".

This old lady in this YT video discusses the news which prompted my post to you today.

https://youtu.be/jI8xsw6dwzo

It would appear that the United Nations and a fellow named Nilz Melzer are bringing this issue to light on the face of the Earth which has been affecting the population of Earth for some time now on behalf of the corrupt establishment, under the guise of 'counter-terrorism'.

You may remember when George W. Bush, the President of America first passed the PATRIOT ACT on the basis that America needs 'counter-terrorism' and then you may remember how the Democrats did the jig all the way down the block with it as well just like the Republicans did.

To me, after suffering from and researching Gangstalking and this phenomenon for many, many years… I think this is finally a smoking gun. I have seen this phenomenon in just about every Christian Church I have ever been to in America.

So this activity, which some people mistakenly believe to be just their own mind playing tricks on them, the work of aliens, or the work of demons and other spiritual forces….they can rest assured that this is in fact the governments of the West working iniquity against their own people. Most likely in America, first… and the rest of the world second.

Here is text about this great thing happening on Earth, for those of you whose connection is too slow to open YouTube videos.

I don't know if I mentioned this, but this is a "smoking gun" on the existence of gangstalking of ordinary, innocent people because Nilz Melzer and the United Nations are now bringing it to light on the face of the Earth, for the first time since the inception of our modern High-Tech Era.

Thus since the United Nations is saying it is indeed happening on Earth, and it is not just demons, aliens or our mind playing tricks on us, we have to consider their authoritative insight because they seem like the ultimate form of an SJW short of your Jesus, that can help the lives of those who suffer on Earth.

Also, I must add that I have met a few of those individuals in America who claim that they are being followed and persecuted by "Satanic Cults".

I do think that this is a highly likely thing and like others like Bill Cooper, I believe that part of "counter-terrorism" in America involved some sort of Satanic cooperation or perhaps association with Satanic Cults. I say this because no matter what, if you are acquainted with this phenomenon of gangstalking happening to innocent people, you will know also that there is an undeniable 'supernatural' element to it all. In the past I've speculated that this is because the involvement of some sort of 'organized Satanic cults involved in this against people.

Remember those mortals on Earth who think they are in a 'high place' are deluding themselves.

I hate to be 'that guy' but that technically isn't what "heretic" means. A heretic is someone who denies the tenents of a religion they claim to belong to. If you admit you aren't a Christian then you are not a heretic.

Other than that, thank you for sharing this post.

Noah's Ark † 11/14/20 (Sat) 07:30:31 bdfcdb No.849524 [Open Thread][Last 50 Posts]

It seems impossible to me to view this as literal, but I do not like to venture into a figurative interpretation unless that is what is indicated by the texts (as when God says the "day" you eat the fruit you shall surely die). The biomass of all of the animals was too large to fit in the ark, there was not enough water to cover the whole Earth, and there were civilizations that lived through the flood.

Does the original Hebrew explicitly say that the flood covered the entirety of the planet and wiped out all of human life? I have heard that there may have been regional floods in that area during the time of Noah, which indicates that the flood story may be hyperbolic, which is seen throughout Genesis (Joseph collecting more corn than the sands of the sea). From a logical point of view, how can I make sense of this story?

I own a nice and descriptive book called Noah's Ark: A Feasibility Study, which details the precise and intricate manners in which two of every *kind* of animal could have easily inhabited the ark. It also includes schematics on how God instructed Noah to build the ark, and hypotheses regarding how Noah and his family ate food and disposed of waste during their year onboard.

If you're unsure of the geology of the flood, I would recommend checking out the Institute for Creation Research at https://www.icr.org/
