I personally agree with you on this situation.
Jesus, on the other hand, left us a laundry list of proofs of wether someone is his follower in the New Testament. You see, Jesus will give you these powers if you really believe in him.
..every person on here that claims they are christian, but try to talk their way out of the list, to me, is hiding themselves from the truth. The truth is that they know deep down that they DO NOT have the powers to cast out devils, or heal people with a touch, or drink poisonus things and live. In fact they try to water them down. They try to question out of existence the obvious and simple context right in front of them. If it were any other verse, like this one:
John 3:16 Wrote:For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.Then oh, it so cut and dry and obvious. There is no questioning its context. Its black and white and we atheists are stupid for questioning it.
..lets completely forget that John 3:16 is dead WRONG when it comes to the entire context of the bible.
Genesis 6:1-8 (King James Version) Wrote:1And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
5And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
8But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
..flat out says that god has many sons. So that either makes God a LIAR in the bible, or it means falable humans were speaking for this god, making shit up, etc..
Godschild would say that I was twisting scripture, that Jesus was gods only begotten son, while the others were just his sons.
What did God do? Find a few hundred baby angels on his doorstep and adopt them as his sons? Where did they come from? I dont know...but god couldnt of created them because then they would have been "begotten sons".
Byt the way, love the genesis verse. Remember it. When Christians say it was "the sins of man" that caused the flood, be sure to tell them they are DEAD WRONG. It was the SONS of god who came down to rape human females, and the GRAND CHILDREN OF GOD who pissed god off. Gods sons were wicked, and gods grandchildren were wicked (are you suprised?)
So what did god do? He declared mortal men to be evil because of this (?????? fucking idiot tyrant god) and killed EVERYONE (including unborn babies that had NOTHING to do with gods disfunctional family) except 6 or so hebrews.
So that pretty much means everyone on Earth is a Hebrew.
How do you like that "Oh, by the way, there were giants in the Earth back then..but enough about that insignificant detail, lets get on with the angel/mortal fucking and the blood thirsty carnage afterwards!!!"
