The Lie Known as "Salvation"

[Haipule]

Post-reform religitards speak of "salvation" as if it is the most important thing complete with a "Gospel". However, as one who can actually read the autographed languages of the bible, no such thing exists!

well I guess you can't read the text in question as well as you think you can, or your not educated enough to provide the supporting evidence that makes a wild claim plausible. The first thing an intellectually honest person does when making a claim like this is to provide source material from a liget well known source primary or secondary source. So fa you provide smoke and mirrors with a claim to read a dead language as if it were pig latin.

The Word of God was not given us to achieve "salvation". Rather, it is a gift of God that we might have life, right here, right now, and that more abundant. That is deliverance and not "salvation".

Book chapter and verse please.
the whole of John 3 would be the words of Christ directly contradicting what you have said here.

The English word "salvation" is a borrowed French word transliterated from the Latin salvationem. IOW's, sOtEria is not translated and it meaning has been lost and reinvented.

The etymology of the english word here is moot sport. as Pointed out by By Jesus Himself in John 3 as the whole chapter speaks to the spiritual salvation/being saved from Hell/second death and be given eternal life. it does not matter what the french word is what is being described in the Koine greek is a process of being born of the Holy Spirit to escape Judgement and the death of the Soul in Hell to go onto eternal life. So whether the word you choose is salvation or deliverance or cubblesvagon the process being described in the Gospel of Christ is a process we deem salvation because it saves us from the destruction of Hell.

The word translated as "salvation" is sOtEria and means: deliverance and is very general and non-specific: preservation, deliverance, rescue, kept safe and sound, made whole, etc. IOW's, what ever is necessary for the moment

God also informs us that He want's us to have peace which is the Greek word eirEnE and literally means: the absents of strife. However, when strife happens, deliverance will follow. So, it is a matter of trust and not a belief system.

As you can see the Koine' word for peace is a lttle more coplex than you would have us to believe..

Can you see how you have to cherry pick a defination out of this grou of definations to make your narritive valid? can you not see that there is room for your interpretation and how the word peace is used is a more broad biblical sense?

That pretty much sums up my anecdotal life. Dude! I'm not "lucky"!


So that is my evidence that God truly exists--YOUR LIFE!

If you don't like your life: then do something different!

God promised you, in the pages of the bible, life, and that more abundant even beyond your wildest dreams!


I would not tell you this if I hadn't experienced it for myself!

From one who has truly experienced a more abundant life I know it is not free. this life more abundant is liken to the life of Joseph who still was a slave under pharaoh, than the freedom to do as you will. i have more than I could ever hope to have asked for, but these 'things' are not trophies but responsibilities I must use and invest in.

I do hope you an come up with some actual scripture to back your position and maybe a few references rather than putting us in a position to simply take your word.

You can point to me 1 lexicon. However, I use 6. I take them all down to my basement and torcher them! Because I want the truth! I want the most simplest understanding of a word, within it's broader and immediate context, with the framework of the grammatical inflection actually penned by the author. So that I can simply understand those words as the illiterate fisherman and farmer did--and kick some ass as they did!

All Greek words are a root with alphabet soup, prefixed, or suffixed. If you don't know the "alphabet soup", you don't know jack of what you are talking about! 


One of the first words you used is "spiritual". Make me puke! That word is the adjective form of pneuma which is pneumatikos. pneuma can refer to living breath or, the intellect breathed into you from an exterior source.

The English word transliterated from pneuma, as an adjective is pneumatic, and can refer to anything such as a hammer, or drill; that works from compressed air, or gas!

That word pneuma(pneO = breath--blast of the nostrils + -ma which views the word from it's state or effect) is erroneously translated for you as, "spirit". When it ALWAYS refers to an external life breath or, external intellect! ALWAYS!!! And often simply refers to written Scripture which is exterior to you as opposed to psuchE(natural breath/intellect that you were born with) which is internal. And for some crazy ass reason, the translators thought that "soul", was a good translation of psuchE which has a verb form which is psuchO! Really, does the "soul" have a verb form?

Our English word "spirit" is transliterated from the Latin "spiritus" which means: breath. Jerome translated both ruwack(Hebrew) and pneuma(Greek)  correctly as "spiritus" into Latin and also means breath as breathing life or, intellect--and NEVER "spirit"!

So you have been taught every erroneous lie about "spirit" and not one of those asshole ever taught you to just simply breath! 


Whereas, I am a pneumatic man(pneumatikos--adjective) living according to the theopnustos = God-breathed Scriptures living life pneumatikOs(adverb), pneumatically according the pneuma breath of God which is the the God Breathed Scripture!


Wicked man that I am!
