Your situation hasn't changed so the solution to your sin hasn't changed either. Mithras the son of Ahura Mazda came down out of his great love and mercy to defeat sin and death through his death and resurrection. You can live with Him by accepting His death for your sins. Or you can cling to your sin and be removed with it when Mithras comes to judge all man kind. You can keep posting your propaganda against the truth if you wish but I will continue to tell you the truth.
Cult, cult, cult.
By your response I am beginning to believe that you don't have any better ideas to counter the truth with. Is my argumentation so good that you feel the need to plagiarize?
Also your use of the cult mantra is weak. Who is my cult leader? Who am I telling you has the corner on the truth? I will let you know it isn't me it is Jesus Christ. I don't want to point you to anyone else but God. No one has to go through anyone else to speak to God.
I know I am a sinner and I know who God is and that He died for my sins and now I am forgiven and able to deal with all of life because He is my foundation. He can do the same for you and you can speak to Him about it.
As Redbeard was already kind enough to point out, I was just showing you that what you wrote to me was the same no matter what cult deity (or whatever) was plugged into the places where you named your own. You think you are telling us Deep Thoughts™, but in reality, it's just mindless babble of the kind that tends to come out of people who've wacked their brains out by absorbing cult thinking. That's the "mantra", which you repeat without really thinking about it.
I like that you ask who your cult leader is, and then NAME the cult leader. I know you think Jesus is God the way the Branch Davidians thought David Koresh was god, but that's how cults work. Charismatic leader becomes deified.
The fact that you can't spot the similarities, even when they are being spoken to your face, is why I say your brain is gone, rotted out by the total, blind acceptance of what you've taken in as The One Right Way™.
You should also really listen to Redbeard's point about using methodologies to weed out personal bias in evaluating information. Even Biblical scholarship (the real kind, not the sort you get from fundamentalist universities who say, "I know the Bible is true, so I did some research...", which is the opposite of what I'm talking about) uses the method to investigate. If you bother to look outside of your literalist group-think, you'll be able to find lots of Christians who criticize the literalism of the Bible, who are evolutionary biologists (including my fiancee, by the way), and who will explain to you why what we're telling you is reality.
It doesn't mean giving up the faith, but it does mean that you have uncritically swallowed some things that are demonstrably untrue.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
