WOW, the Bible Agress with Atheist!!!!

[TRUTH1986]

When I first read this passage I was shocked. Shocked that my church never showed me this, Shocked that my pastor never showed me this, and Shocked that an Atheist knew that this was done well before Christ.
Jeremiah 10 2-5
"Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not."

Does this custom sound familiar? Christmas!! The lord told us not to do it, because this was done by the heathens in babylon for Nimrod well before Christ!!!!! Today's christianity is wrong!!!

Would have been nice if you had introduced yourself before posting this, but hey..

And yes, I agree with you that today's Christianity is wrong. However, I think that all Christianity is wrong which is probably where we diverge.

Perhaps you could go into a little more detail as to why todays Christianity is wrong and yours is right. Forgive me for making an assumption here.

Sorry, my name is Thomas. Yes, all christianity is wrong. Christ told us to beware of them.

"For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many" Matthew 24 5

Many are the christians today. Telling people that Christ was born on December 25.

I don't follow religion because the Most High never gave us religion.

Hello Thomas..

But to be fair, most Christians know that he wasn't born on Dec the 25th but instead simply choose to celibrate his birth on that date.

There are well documented reasons why Dec the 25th is used and yes, it does relate to Pagan festivals.

However, surely this isn't reason to say Christianity is wrong is it. Just what is the difference between you and Mr. Avarage Christian?

You are right about the Most High never giving us religion; it was man who did that. The "Most High" has never given us anything to my knowledge, since it has never been proved it even exists

What is the difference between me a christian? I don't celebrate Christmas, I don't celebrate Easter(count... you can't get 3 days from Good Friday to Easter Sunday) I don't believe in the Immaculate conception, I don't hang images of Christ on my wall because the bible tells us not too. I use to follow the ways of christians, but the bible speaks against everything the christian church teaches.

No virgin birth ay?

And do you believe that the bible contains the TRUTH from cover to cover?

I'm still not sure what the difference is. Ok, so you don't follow many of the traditions associated with Christianity but in essence, surely you believe the same things.

And what is the destiny of all these people who think they are faithful and good?

The definition of virgin in the bible is different than what we're being tought today. Virgin in the bible means when a woman is of age to marry(have sex) A woman was known as a virgin when her cycle started. You have to read the old testament to find this out. If you want, I'll pm you a video.
I can't tell you the destiny of those who think their on the right path because I can't judge.

Don't PM videos to people. If you have a video you think is interesting, post it! (We do have a videos section as well you know).

I celebrate both Christmas & Easter; Easter with chocolates & boiled eggs with penciled on faces and Christmas with lots of prezzies, laughter, family, friends, food and booze ... the only thing that gets in the way is religion (although the earl holiday ads tend to irritate me too).

I love such times of year ... I'm an atheist and I couldn't give a flying fuck whether they are cerebrated at the right or wrong time of year.
