Zone1 Abortion and Transgender is Demonic

[JoeB131]

The first third of your life would be the school days. Had you been in public schools, you would now be blaming them for the fact no one could properly comfort you after your mother died. You've never faced the fact that you were miserable so you you were making sure others were as miserable as you. After all, this was all about you, never about anyone else and what you were putting them through.

Naw, the psycho nuns were making my life miserable long before my parents got sick.

If anyone is offended by my skeptisim of Bronze Age Superstitions, that's on them. We have space shuttles and computers now, this stuff shouldn't still be going on.

I see...except what I see is that you have no inkling of what prayer is. And that you brought your misery into prayer as well.

Naw, I just realized it was a pointless exercise. I don't believe in pointless exercises (other than trying to reason with Wingnuts on USMB)>

Again, the misery. All you see is misery.

All your church has ever brought the world is misery. Look at the countries that are still predominately Catholic. They're miserable places to live. It's why you want fences to keep them out.

Before modern medicine, 20% died in infancy. You also have the story of the bald prophet wrong. Your own misery was always on display, and heaven help those who did not bow down to you and make you and your feelings the number one priority in life. Those who tried you judged and slapped down, plotting out ways to insure they were miserable in your presence.

So how did the Prophet Nathan know David's baby was going to be one of the 20%.

I don't think there's any way to make that story about the bears and the bald prophet look good.

Finally, you are not a bad person because you rejected the Church. Quite simply, you were/are a bad person and therefore rejected the Church. For once, get it straight.

Naw, I'm a great person.

I served my country.
I am an awesome husband to my wife.
I am very good at my job.
I run two businesses that provide useful services to people.
I do everything a good citizen does.

I just refuse to grovel in front of a church that has inflicted misery on the world.

lol.. After Elijah's departure, Elisha was mocked by a group of young men who called him "baldie" as he was walking to Bethel. Elisha turned around, cursed them in the name of the Lord, and then two "she bears" came out of the woods and mauled 42 of the boys.

The she bears were probably female teachers of the small children who excoriated (mauled) them for being juvenile dickheads... Where else but a school would that many small children be gathered? So relax. They were killed in the same way you were afraid of being killed by your parents if you ever defied them or failed a class.

Except the text doesn't say "young men", it says "children".

Also, children didn't attend school in that time period. In that time period, they sent you out to the field as soon as you could walk.

If all you can see is that God is a meanie, a petty tyrant, that's a shame. You are being lazy. You should humble yourself and approach the stories like a child reading a fairy tale trying to learn the moral teaching of the story.

Naw, I see God as a superstition.

It's what clowns who believe in those superstitions do that concerns me. Inquisitions, crusades, witch-burnings, collaboration with Nazis. Collaborating with Trump (but I repeat myself.)

Its not rocket science, a mysterious arcane concept, or an impossible feat, but it changes everything.

No, it's not. Superstitious people believed in Gods to explain the parts of nature they didn't understand. So, everything was the result of an angry God. Now we have science to mitigate diseases and weather and famines and plagues.

While I agree with you that the Catholic Church is not the true Church and has a dark history, There are also many examples of good things that Church has done as well by good people. Also, because some leaders of a said Church weren't good people at times, isn't the reason I would reject them. People are imperfect whether a believer in God or not. The key is just that, does the Church in question have the "Keys" to the Kingdom. Or, in other words, does a Church have the authority of the Godhead to act in all things pertaining to the establishment of the Kingdom on Earth and the authority to exercise all the saving "Ordinances" pertaining to Exaltation into the highest degree of glory in heaven (1Cor15:40-41). Since the end to John the Revelator's ministry on Earth to the year early 1800's, this authority did not exist in any Church. But, that doesn't again mean churches didn't go many good things as well. Atheists have done horrible things too. Stalin and Mao killed 100 million people. Others throughout history have also done so too.

I'd be careful about your level of pride in yourself. It looks like you do many things well. But, you also do many things not good too. It's well known that atheists have little humility.

Well, here's what I do when I find something I don't do well.

I hire someone who can.

Like this year, I hired someone to do my taxes, because they've just gotten too complex for me. She did an awesome job.

Um.... Yeah, the Catholic Church really has a better claim on ecclesiastical authority than Joseph Smith finding imaginary plates in the woods.

 

[alang1216]

That's what you are doing. You see what you want and do not interpret the words correctly. Normalcy bias is what I call this on you.

Kind of arrogant of you to claim you interpret the words correctly but I do not. Either way, how is that normalcy bias?

Not at all. The Catholic Church has no authority based on the Bible. The Authority Keys were restored and the establishment of the Church is all Biblical. The Book of Mormon was prophecied in the Bible. The Doctrine concerning the keys and authority is also congruent with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The foundation of any Church has to have Apostles and Prophets to be legit.

 

[Cougarbear]

It's what has become normal to you.

 

[alang1216]

It's what has become normal to you.

OK, you mean like I have never seen anything that required a supernatural explanation so I generally go with natural explanations.

 

[JoeB131]

Not at all. The Catholic Church has no authority based on the Bible.

Neither does the Mormon Church. Heck, Joseph Smith had to make up his own fake Bible to justify his whacky beliefs.

Who said it is super natural? Everything God has done is natural.

 

[Cougarbear]

Isaiah chapter 29. Ezekiel chapter 35. Stick (book of Joseph through Ephraim.

 

[theHawk]

"(Insert Bible Hero here) was an instrument of God, unless he did something that would offend modern audiences."

Wrong. Most of these leaders of Israel did good, but then also did many sinful things against God.

They were offensive to God then, it has nothing to do with “modern audiences”.

 

[theHawk]

I think you have it backwards, there is nothing more comforting than ignoring the errors and contradictions in scripture. As for you interpretation, the Bible is like a Rorschach image, you can see anything in it you want to see.

What contradictions?

 

[JoeB131]

Isaiah chapter 29. Ezekiel chapter 35. Stick (book of Joseph through Ephraim.

Yes, it's been established smith got lazy and plagarized whole sections of the Bible for the BoM.

Who said it is super natural? Everything God has done is natural.

Yeah, I stopped buying that shit at my mother's wake, when one of the old nasty nuns she used to work with said it was God's Will.

The b***h was lucky I didn't punch her in the face. 42 years later, I'm still pissed off about it.

Actually, no, it's quite the opposite.

You look at the Book of Judges, it's a list of guys who did horrible things. Samson (the one everyone remembers) didn't know if he wanted to bang the Philistines or murder them. Jephthah the Gileadite slaughtered his own daughter as a sacrifice to God.

Then you get into the Kings of Israel, and not a good bunch there, either. Saul was insane. David constantly sinned or otherwise offended God. Solomon introduced the worship of other Gods, and then the Kingdom split.

Ignorance is not offensive. It's merely ignorant. Here is what I read, "I was making my teachers' lives miserable long before my parents got sick."

I also suspect the being you wanted to punch in the face was God, but a representative of God would do just as well. I get that a small boy probably did not understand the higher philosophy of God's ordained will and God's permissive will. However, you must have learned of this later, along with the good God is able to bring out of evil and tragedy. Despite your years in Catholic school, you never learned forgiveness, you never learned to differentiate the difference between the physical and the spiritual. And so 42 years have passed.

Essentially, you chose to block and to reject anything and everything of the philosophy the Church was offering to teach you.

 

[Meriweather]

Naw, I just realized it was a pointless exercise. I don't believe in pointless exercises (other than trying to reason with Wingnuts on USMB)>

Of course it was pointless. You wanted God to be your own personal genii, because after all, you saw yourself as the boss of everything while the clueless around you didn't see you as the boss of anything.

 

[Meriweather]

You don't get it. All the world gets from any person or any group is misery. It pleases you to acknowledge this about Catholicism, and to ignore and give this a pass to all others. As Genesis acknowledges, we are not perfect beings, we are flawed, defective, incomplete--and all this we bring to the world. We also bring goodness, everyone--but continue to close your eyes, stuff your ears when any of this goodness comes through Catholics and the Catholic faith. If being short-sighted soothes your wounds, others can commiserate with enduring painful wounds.

Learn Hebrew and read it again.

Your last line: No wonder you never got Catholicism/faith. That's upside down and backwards, the very opposite of what God calls us to. Sorry you missed it.

As for the way you see yourself. The Little Prince has some enlightening words about that: "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."
