Why do men reject God?

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Maybe to the atheists' surprise, our science has gone that far yet! It simply means we can't rely on our technology to examine hell's existence, or to go outside of our space/time to gather evidence of such an existence.

Which puts hell on the same shelf as rainbow unicorns making ice cream in the 6th dimension.

Are you willing to admit that?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

The New Testament is the fulfillment of the ancient Old Testament. There are no contradictions.

The OT is about how God allows the weak and outnumbered Jews to survive history, by eradicating the already dead Canaanites, to bring forward the message of salvation to today's humans to save the many. The NT is a covenant offered to today's humans.

Do you think the Sumerians were confused, while watching Yahweh create the world? That must have been weird.

In most cases, they become disillusioned by observing the depravity exhibited by most believers.

 

[LittleNipper]

There is plenty of proof that GOD exists. There is the fact that the Hebrews/Jews have been around for thousands of years and have suffered like no other group and yet still persist. The Bible clearly states that this would be the case --- even down to the dispersion and regathering of the Nation of Israel.

And then there is the fact that mathematics is so concise, even down to chemical mixtures. Everything in the solar system and the Universe hangs on invisible forces. Who has seen the wind? Who has seen gravity? But who doesn't believe these thing exists, even though invisible? Perhaps the fool?

There are many gods because man wants one in his OWN image --- one he can control/manipulate. The one TRUE GOD isn't like that!

proof of the metaphysical has nothing to do with the madeup christian bible and the false messiah religion that book claims and is contrary to the events of the 1st century.

the contradiction is the uninterpreted history for your religion of persecution and victimization of the innocent - to this day.

written in the forgeries of the christian bible.

There is one Bible and many translations. Some of them are inferior. The supposed "Christian" atrocities were carried out by a STATE manipulated religion. We are seeing that resurgence today beginning where Bible believers are being persecuted by the religion of LIBERALITY. People being brought into court simply because they do not adhere to a doctrine that insists that one must capitulate to the WANTS of certain individuals deemed "protected" by the STATE. They don't want the Bible in schools ---- and the STATE of the Middle Ages didn't want its citizens reading the Bible ---- but have them TOLD what it said and meant by THE STATE run "church". It was NEVER about the CHURCH running the STATE in the US. It was actually about the STATE running the CHURCH. In an open society, Bible reading is free to all and an ANYTIME. It can be referenced whenever an individual so desires. In a STATE manipulated society, there are restraints and BIBLE morality is saved for only for auspicious occasions when it suits the STATE. And the BIBLE is excluded when it is considered an embarrassment to the STATE and STATE sponsored beliefs such as EVOLUTION. Keep the Bible out of education and one can keep individuals in their designated PLACE. Average citizens attended average STATE controlled institutions. The children of governmental officials attend prestigious ones.

The supposed "Christian" atrocities were carried out by a STATE manipulated religion.

Christianity in the 4th century was dominated in its early stage by Constantine the great and the First Council of Nicaea of 325, which was the beginning of the period of the First seven Ecumenical Councils (325–787), and in its late stage by the Edict of Thessalonica of 380, which made Nicene Christianity the state church of the Roman Empire.

that is the origin of the christian bible, written in the 4th century as a "STATE manipulated religion" - where the religion is used for political motives - as you prove latter in your post, nipper - you are more concerned with your politics than the validity of your messiah religion.

the events of the 1st century had everything to do with your complaint, it is the "Bible believers" that altered those events for the very purpose to selfishly impose their beliefs over others without justification through the forgeries of the 4th century christian bible.

the religion of antiquity has nothing to do with your contrived messiah, savior religion and your refusal to recognize the difference is purely a matter of your political objectives that book falsely portrays (for its audience) as a religion. recorded history is the witness to your crimes.

Isaiah 53 as an example was written between 739 and 681 BC. So why do many unredeemed Jews shy away from it?
Isaiah 53

Who has believed what he has heard from us?

And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

and like a root out of dry ground;

he had no form or majesty that we should look at him,

and no beauty that we should desire him.

He was despised and rejected by men,

a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief;

and as one from whom men hide their faces

he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

Surely he has borne our griefs

and carried our sorrows;

yet we esteemed him stricken,

smitten by God, and afflicted.

But he was pierced for our transgressions;

he was crushed for our iniquities;

upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,

and with his wounds we are healed.

All we like sheep have gone astray;

we have turned—every one—to his own way;

and the Lord has laid on him

the iniquity of us all.

yet he opened not his mouth;

like a lamb that is led to the slaughter,

and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,

so he opened not his mouth.

who considered

that he was cut off out of the land of the living,

stricken for the transgression of my people?

and with a rich man in his death,

although he had done no violence,

and there was no deceit in his mouth.

it was the will of the Lord to crush him;

he has put him to grief;

when his soul makes an offering for guilt,

he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;

the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

and be satisfied;

by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant,

make many to be accounted righteous,

and he shall bear their iniquities.

Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many,

and he shall divide the spoil with the strong,

because he poured out his soul to death

and was numbered with the transgressors;

yet he bore the sin of many,

and makes intercession for the transgressor.
