And you keep ignoring reality. I’m sorry you don’t understand the account of Genesis is allegorical and believe it is real.You keep ignoring verses, which makes you useless in any discussion.You seem upset.At least dogshit can be used for fertilizer.I don’t need your origin story, Rosie.Don’t change, Rosie. Keep obsessing over Christianity.If that’s how you need to see it, more power to you.It’s probably easier for you to put words in my mouth. But that just means you are arguing with yourself.He didn’t really say it, Rosie.Not exactly what I was saying, Rosie.He said die to self and confront reality.Sorry to be the one to break this to you but the earth wasn’t created 6,000 years ago either.Sure, puppy, whatever you say.My goodness. Moses did not write the first 11 chapters of Genes or the accounts of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
They were not revealed to him by God. They were accounts that had been passed down orally.Sorry to be the one to break this to you but the earth wasn’t created 6,000 years ago either.Sure, puppy, whatever you say.My goodness.

what did Jesus say about that?
oh----you think that the crucifixion thing was
"SUICIDE BY ROMAN"?
But thanks for playing.
you wrote that Jesus said "DIE" to himself "AND CONFRONT
REALITY" What did you mean by that comment? Do you have
any idea what YOU MEANT? According to the science called
Psychiatry-----workers in that field seem to agree that suicide is
a matter of extreme unhappiness and anger. It is an "aggression
against self by a person who feels unable to act aggressively to
those or that which aggrieves him. Can you explain YOUR COMMENT?
It was more of a living parable. And it’s not meant to be read literally. All major religions teach to die to self. It’s how we see reality.
"a living parable" ??? OH----you seem to be struggling to claim
that the crucifixion was an ALLEGORY of that to which "all"
religious leaders and icons strive. Jesus wanted to "die to self...?
something like BUDDHA. So he was an ordinary man seeking
NIRVANA thru death..... ok ---------weird but if that is what
you want.....fine with me. It does not seem to me to be the classical
sunday school approach
It is CLEARLY easier for you to express words which make no sense, even to you.
You have declined to explain your own words. I commented on
that fact. You are reduced to more babble. So far you have evaded a very simple task which is that you explain why you refer to
the crucifixion of Jesus--------which was LIKELY an historic event based on the history of that place at that time under brutal roman
oppression, as an ALLEGORY. Are you suggesting that it did not really HAPPEN? If so, why do you think that the ROMAN CHURCH decided to magnify it into an EVENT of extreme importance for the entire world? Christian women and men still walk around
with crosses as an "IMPORTANT" symbol of a religion------but it is
only an allegory?. As to the tens or even hundreds of thousands
of people crucified by Roman authorities------were those events ALSO "allegorical"?
I did not start this idiot thread--------I am SIMPLY taking
part in the discussion.. People who are not jews who feel
compelled to DECIDE what nature of "jewish belief" is are the
obsessed. This idiocy is not new to me. I grew up in a
very WHITE CHRISTIAN town and was often invited to "learn"
about Christianity -----in "sunday school" lots of throw away
literature-------EXTENSIVE OBSESSION to "reach da jooooos"
you are very SUBJECTIVE, dingbat. YOU are not the only person
who reads this thread
This Ding is a Dingbat.
dingbat, you have described BOTH the book of genesis
and the crucifixion of Jesus as "allegorical" Are you now
claiming that neither is "real"?
