The Reasons why "Just Following Jesus" Doesn't work

[Redbeard The Pink]

You can't account for uniformity you can't be certain that tomorrow there will be uniformity. If you can't be certain about that then you can't be certain about logic and

We don't believe the same. As I have said before I met God before I could read the bible. God revealed to me that He is God. Then He lead me to the bible and His word. Everything He told me before I read the bible was in the Bible. Yes I Know the Bible is true. Yes I know how the bible was formed. Yes I know who God is. God is the author and finisher of my faith. So He started it and He will finish it. My life isn't about may ability to stay a Christian because like I said if it were up to me I would have walked away a long time ago.

His commission to the disciples is different than the great commission. Jesus sent the disciples on a short term mission trip as training for the future and laying the ground work for the fulfilled gospel. I have already had this discussion with God and He says do not grow weary of doing God so here I will stay. Until when I don't know.

I was using biblical verbiage (rev 7:14) and I knew you would take it that way. Still is the truth even if you don't understand. Did you not agree with this when you claimed Christianity? Where you in a cult if you did?

Seriously? That's what you're going with?


"We don't know if the laws of physics will apply tomorrow because the future is unknown, therefore the constants of the Universe must be actively maintained by a non-material super-being."


Not only is the first part of that completely untrue, the conclusion doesn't follow the premise even if it were true.


For one thing, there is ample evidence that the laws of physics simply cannot be changed or suspended, and there is not one shred of evidence that they have ever been changed or suspended for any length of time in any way. Because of this, it is in fact possible to know to the utmost possible degree of certainty that the laws of physics are constant, and that they will likely continue to function exactly as they do now until the inevitable heat death of the Universe.


For another, even if I granted that it could be possible for physics to just quit and walk off tomorrow, that still in no way demonstrates that its laws were being written or caused by anything, Gaud or otherwise. Even if the laws of physics were all wonky and changed all the time, that in and of itself wouldn't be sufficient evidence that Gaud is causing it in some way.


I'm aware you were using Biblical wording. You worship a Gaud depicted in an ancient book, and that Gaud demands the blood of animals and humans to wash away your sins just so he can stand the stink of you. You metaphorically drink this blood and bathe in it, and that saves you from burning in Hell, a punishment that your "loving" Gaud inflicts on people who refuse to believe in him simply because he was so careful to give them no reason to.


Yes, that describes the writings, actions, and beliefs of a cult, and yes, I was a cultist when I participated in that shit. Got any other questions?


So what things exactly did Gaud tell you about himself before you started reading the Bible? Furthermore, how am I to believe that your concept of Gaud wasn't influenced by any Bible-believers prior to your reading the Bible? It seems very likely that even if you had never read the Bible before, you could still pick up some concept of what "God" is supposed to be like just from being a conscious human.


I presume you're American, which means it's highly unlikely that you came up with the concept of Gaud in some kind of cultural vacuum; just about everyone is exposed to the idea before they actually start studying it, so your "personal revelation" could still have been a function of your imagination and your confirmation bias working in tandem to convince you that the voice in your head is actually a magical man in the sky.
